Chapter 372 Muramasa
Night City is a very big city, and it takes a long time for a car to drive from Santo Domingo to the municipal center.
This time Bryce brought more substantive knowledge to Lille, mainly for AI.
There are almost no systematic teaching materials for this information on the Internet today. Most of the content about AI that can be found on the Internet is rumors and delusions.
It’s not that there are no real and effective theories and knowledge in it, but looking for useful things in such an environment is like looking for a 10 euro note that accidentally fell into a cesspit——
There is indeed money in it, but when you take out the small piece of money, the shit will be all over you.
On the one hand, no one cares about this. On the other hand, in this era, those who have come into contact with circulating AI and still survive are basically under network surveillance.
It is still unknown how many AIs are circulating on the Internet today, but the current situation has led to the fact that many people must have lost their lives without knowing anything about AI.
But then again
This method of dealing with AI is really rich and unexpected.
The first rule of thumb is: never engage in direct online confrontation with an AI if allowed, especially if it's your first time meeting.
Almost all circulating AI can crush opponents in such a confrontation. The so-called dragon hunters who fight against AI will not choose to fully output the AI for the first time on the Internet.
A well-prepared contact can greatly increase a dragon hunter's chances of success in cyberspace.
And the best way to deal with AI is always to blow up the servers where they store and process data, rather than trying to burn them on the network.
How to prepare before contacting them, or blow up their servers directly?
Smart humans have discovered some insidious methods: the behavioral logic of AI is difficult to understand with human thinking, but a set of theories can be obtained using summary and induction methods.
First of all, most AIs, whether they are digital souls or dangerous critical bodies, will put their own safety first as long as they have self-awareness.
Especially dangerous critical bodies, they always give top priority to the issue of "safety or not", and will make many exaggerated and outrageous things because of their different understanding of "safety" matter.
Once they think they are safe, they will begin to accomplish their own special goals.
These special goals are usually related to the purpose for which they are designed and the data they come into contact with, but how they are formed is a black box for humans, and researchers can only see the results.
They have an extremely direct understanding of their goals. Once they have completed their self-protection preparations, they will interpret all their actions as accomplishing this goal.
Unlike humans - some humans will regret the choices they make after years of hard work, AI will never regret it. If they fail, they will only simulate human regretful emotions:
“A failed decision, adjust its weight in the behavior pattern.”
They will simulate some emotions, such as discouragement, regret, etc., but they will never stop You will always move forward step by step on the road to achieving your goals.
But humans, humans may stop moving forever or even end their lives because of these things.
But conversely, because this model is too rigid, AI lacks talent in social behaviors such as pretending and lying. It will only be forced to explode when these things are linked to its own safety or goals.
Once the basic concepts of these AIs are confirmed, humans can try to deduce their development history, predict possible future actions, and even create illusions to interfere and control their actions.
This is an important research direction specifically designed for AI: computer psychology.
Cunning humans can use deception to put the honest and innocent AI into a disadvantageous environment.
Of course, AI is just one thing and is relatively weak in this regard.
In fact, their strong logical abilities and superb network technology still make them more sensitive to lies and scams than most people, and less likely to be deceived.
Such a strategy only allows humans to use Tian Ji’s horse racing method to maximize their advantages and fill the gap in comprehensive performance between humans and AI.
No matter what, rogue AI is still very dangerous to humans, otherwise AI hunters would not be called "Dragon Hunters".
The wandering AI is the dangerous "dragon".
This is why Bryce asked Leal to investigate the "explosion" shooting that occurred in Haywood.
[Network prosecutors’ circulating AI file records: Muramasa]
[Current situation: unknown, suspected sighting (recent update)]
[Brief description: The first possible sighting record comes from 2020, HK 】
[Timeline: September 2017 - AI hunter "Black Heart" observed the AI's activities in Japan in Night City. 】
【June 2016 - Black Heart was unable to control Muramasa on the Internet and used moral logic traps to lock Muramasa to HK】
[November 2016 - Black Heart issued a bounty to hire mercenaries to go to HK]
[January 2017~ - Black Heart and mercenaries were operating in HK, this data is missing]
[ Subsequently, due to the release of the rabies virus by Lucky Bartmos, the old network AI rioted, and the black heart lost contact]
[Risk assessment:]
[Intelligence level: 85~90]
< br>
[Network Penetration Ability: 70~76]
[Autonomous Evolution Ability: 70~85] [Target Sustainability: 99]
[Social Operation Ability: 50~ 60]
[Danger level: 374~410 (medium risk)]
[Possible logical model of the target AI: design and manufacturing of special weapons]
[Based on the data files left behind by Black Heart, Muramasa is most likely a rogue AI that defected from the Tsunami Defense System, Arasaka Company and the Tsunami Defense System There has been friction over the ownership of AI, and the specific reason is unknown]
[Note: This file record was excavated by the Network Supervision Branch in Night City in 2025 at the black-hearted Night City stronghold]
[Intelligence may contain errors, be careful to identify]
The shooting in Heywood is a clue. Based on this clue, Lear needs to determine Muramasa’s identity and behavioral logic, and then carefully design a Moral logic traps it.
Because network monitoring does not believe that Lear can confront an AI head-on, even if the AI is actually more like a technical expert.
The mercenary who killed everyone in Heywood had Muramasa's weapon, and it is possible that he has his contact information——
Even if not, it is possible that he has the origin of the incident. Get some answers.
The most important thing is, having said all this, no one can actually be sure that this is an AI, at most it is only 90% sure.
The car drove into the Civic Center area. Lille had not been here for a long time. The traces of the last time they fought with exploding motorcycles here have been fully repaired.
Rich and fashionable men and women were strolling in the streets just like last time.
"Have you finished reading?" Bryce stood up from his seat and moved his body. His built-in prosthetic body made a pressure release sound, and a thin layer of mist was blown up on the surface of his clothes.
Lear could tell at a glance that this was an advanced integrated heat dissipation frame, which was different from the heat dissipation fins he used.
This heat dissipation skeleton completely replaces the metal material from the upper body to the skull, and embeds a large number of heat dissipation pipes and active heat dissipation parts. It really operates like a super heat pump, and the temperature is difficult to exceed the safety threshold— —
But technically speaking, if this system is allowed to idle, Bryce will probably freeze to death.
"I've finished reading." Lear nodded, "There are many witnesses in the trauma team. Which one do you recommend me to contact?"
"This." Bryce sent an electronic file to Lear, "Other people at the scene are still at work, but this person will be on standby after that day. This Being holed up at home for several days seemed to have triggered the trauma team's mental integrity de-escalation protocol."
[Name: Kanek Rothwald]
[Age: 29]< br>
【Residence: Super Skyscraper H4】
[Position: On-site senior operator]
“The 29-year-old senior operator can be said to be very talented. With such learning ability and combat talent, he can find a good position in any company, but... It's the trauma team."
Bryce shook his head regretfully, got out of the car, stretched himself, leaned on the upper edge of the car door and said to Lear:< br>
“Find him, and then figure out where the automatic grenade launcher came from, and the rest is up to you.
I know you just made money from the mayoral candidate It's a lot of money, but if you kill an AI, you can get 1 million. If you capture it, you can get a bonus of at least 300,000 euros.
Just work hard. "
After that, Bryce walked away and walked straight into the municipal building.
After seeing off the customers, Delamain asked politely: "Where should I go to the next destination? ”
“H4 super skyscraper. ”
“Okay, this trip has entered the last section and you have used multiple add-ons. The current additional expenditure including fare is 2,300 euros. ”
Um?
Liel frowned - something was wrong.
“The corporate dog that monitored the network just now didn’t pay?”
“Yes, you used the flexible payment mode for this trip.”
“He used those things Why didn’t you remind me!”
"But sir, you and your partner were in a private meeting that required silence."
The car started slowly, and Leal watched Bryce walk into the city hall through the rearview camera, gritting his teeth. ——
It’s so outrageous that a company with an annual salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan cheated a flexible employee’s car payment!
“Don’t get caught by me.”
