Chapter 68 Harmony in New York
Birds chirping.
This is something that Night City doesn’t have.
Birds have been wiped out in Night City, said to be due to an outbreak of avian influenza.
However, this statement is obviously unreliable, because without the birds, the slums of Night City have become garbage pits full of insects and rats, and the mayor has not seen help in exterminating cockroaches and other pests.
So why were birds extinct?
No one knows the real reason, but from now on, the sky in the Night City only belongs to high-rise buildings and floating vehicles.
I took an immunosuppressive drug and went to bed yesterday. I woke up early and arrived in New York.
“There are no ads, the sun is shining, and there are birds chirping—I have to say that this day is indeed much better than the one in Night City.”
Liel got up from the bed.
Hell's Kitchen is much better than the slums of Night City, but of course, it's only compared to Night City.
Mom knocked on the door: "Lille - have you gotten up? Have breakfast."
"Here it is."
Put on your clothes and start to A new day in New York.
It’s just that the immune response is a bit serious and the body has little strength.
At the dinner table, Skye said mysteriously: "Boss, let me show you my new AI"
"Not bad - very good, I have tried it."
Skye froze.
Liel took a sip of milk: "Have you ever thought about expanding this AI? For example, extending it to public security and civilian Internet."
Liel didn't add anything more - more than just trying it , even killed several people.
"Boss, we are like heroes. In fact, I already have an idea, but the current processor is not very easy to use."
"Before we start to discuss technical issues." Wiping his mouth, "I want to talk about some moral issues, so that you will not be deceived by some hacker organization to cause trouble in the future."
There is no big problem with the framework of traffic AI. The next step is to extend this AI to other areas. field.
In terms of public security, it can be extended to behavioral monitoring. By analyzing citizens’ occupations, habits, families, movement trajectories and other information, we can determine the possibility of citizens and ongoing crimes, and even predict the possibility of crimes. sex.
In the civilian field, it is natural to push more accurate content. If you like funny videos, push funny videos to you; if you like conspiracy theories, push conspiracy theories to you.
Both of these functions have a usage problem.
In terms of public safety, ctOS can predict the existence of criminals, but how to define criminals?
Feudal lords believed that runaway serfs were criminals, loan sharks believed that paying back principal and interest was a crime, and factory owners believed that working less than 12 hours a day was...
Well, it was laziness.
Defining crime is a sociological issue.
The same goes for push expansion in the civilian field.
Earn profits by pushing content that users are highly interested in to increase user stickiness and induce users to stay on the Internet.
But if everyone is addicted to false happiness, how can they achieve themselves in reality?
Easy happiness is only a small problem if intensive tendency induction is carried out through ctOS.
For example, when cheating content is pushed to newlyweds, the content is highly customized based on marital life.
If your partner goes out at eight in the morning and comes home at ten in the evening, it may be for work, but it may also be for cheating.
Never mentioning work, but instead pushing a large amount of cheating content, will naturally make people feel uneasy and slip into the abyss of suspicion.
This is a marriage, but what if the inducement is an election?
It can even be a little rougher - push competitor information at crowded traffic intersections, noisy pedestrian streets, and smelly garbage disposal plants, and people will react like baby Albert (Note 1) Candidates are bored.
“If the model you mentioned is completed, politicians will definitely come to your door, do you understand?”
High-tech is the breakthrough point in politics, military technology is the more violent type, and civilian technology is the slightly milder type, but the two are brothers - or the same thing.
Skye stared and shook her head.
“Boss, you are talking as if we will become the mastermind behind the control of the world.”
“In August 1942, Oppenheimer was appointed head of the Manhattan Project. He doesn't know yet what he is going to build -
But we all know it now, and believe me, this technology appears in the most militarily powerful country, and its value is no less than the atomic bomb. ”
"Then what should we do?" Skye said carefully, she felt that Lear was serious. Hackers are a group that is hard to give up, but once they decide that someone is better than themselves, they will have more trust in this smart person to the extent that they doubt the world.
In Skye's eyes, Lille has surpassed the level of "top hacker" and is a super all-rounder.
"We." Li paused.
The so-called political differences are problems that have not yet been solved in human society. How can he say that they have been solved?
"We remain neutral and only provide convenient services - although I am not sure which politicians are good, but at this point in time,
provide people with a better commuting situation and push technology with content to those who need it people, helping them find employment is definitely not a wrong choice— —
By the way, there are also catching criminals. How is the situation of the NYPD recently?”
“Well, there should be news this morning. The NYPD is very proud now, and it is reported once a week. ."
Saying, Skye turned on the TV.
"According to NYPD reports, the soaring crime rate has been under control in the past three weeks, with the growth rate reduced to 1.2% from 5.6% three weeks ago.
The detection rate increased from 20% to 39%, New York The crime rate in Clinton District, the hardest-hit area, has even experienced negative growth, with the growth rate reduced from 14.6% to 5%.
The crime detection rate has increased significantly higher than that of other urban areas, with an increase of up to 120%, and the crime detection rate has reached 120%. 42%.”
Liel looked at the data with a strange expression.
Is this good?
Forget it, this is New York after all, so we can’t criticize him too much.
"Oh, by the way, Anthony said that Chief Stacey wants to deepen cooperation and install our security network throughout the Clinton District, but the council members are very opposed."
Lear He raised his eyebrows: "Then what?"
"Then this congressman may fall off the altar. It seems that he appeared once two weeks ago, and then a poll was conducted, and he never appeared again. It's in the public eye."
Skye shrugged: "Speaking of which, you have to thank Anthony for his loud voice. He was two streets away when the congressman was delivering the speech.
As soon as his people finished listening to Anthony's speech, they ran to throw bottles and cans at the congressmen. The scene was spectacular. "
There are still a lot of good people in Hell's Kitchen - it's a pity that no one has the guts to give the old guy a kick.
Liel thought for a while and asked: "Where is the United Construction Company? "
"Quite honest, busy building a house, but" Skye hesitated, "Boss, I found something in their email. It is said that the building across the street can be sold well. Millions.
The land price has increased several times all of a sudden, if people here see it.”
"Then you see it." Lille spread his hands, "You don't think that in this situation, it is the common people who are driving up the house prices, right?
Maybe he launders the money himself. Then you should pay more attention Come on, let’s just leak some gossip to your old friends.”
Skye was stunned for a moment: “ Boss, you are really good at guessing. This money comes from abroad. It’s not clear.”
“We do our own thing, the municipal government, the company, there are so many things that can be done. Just forget about throwing things on the rising tide forum."
After finishing speaking, Lille put the sandwich into his mouth and wiped his hands.
When he looked up, he saw his mother looking at him kindly and then burst into laughter.
Lil was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to wipe his cheek.
"Mom, what are you laughing at? You scared me."
"I just feel like you are really like a little boss. John left you a memo - don't It’s too much pressure on myself.”
Liel shrugged: “This? It’s not pressure.”
After saying that, Lille looked at Skye again -
"Actually, I already have a complete idea about this technology, but I am thinking of using a special way to let you understand these things. ."
"What method?"
"Do you like playing games?"
Note 1: Similar to Pavlov's dog, the experimenter used white rats and rabbits. , dogs and monkeys showed no abnormal reactions when presented to baby Albert.
The subject then hit the steel rod when taking out these things, making a scary noise, which over time caused baby Albert to become frightened and uncomfortable when seeing these things
