Chapter 1080 Fire at the Hopkins Microbiology Institute
After a simple supper, Xu Chuan returned to the study.
Looking at Xiao Ling's optimized mathematical model on the screen, after thinking for a while, he took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer.
"Dear"
"Today's rapid development of artificial intelligence"
To be honest, Xu Chuan does not have much pursuit of artificial intelligence AI.
He never thought about creating any artificial intelligence life form, nor did he think about creating strong artificial intelligence or anything else.
Perhaps as a physicist, he often thinks about other life forms in the universe, and he still has some distrust of things like artificial intelligence AI created by humans.
But as the shining pearl of technology in the 21st century, artificial intelligence is changing human life, work and even thinking at an unprecedented speed.
It is one of the waves of the technological revolution in the 21st century, an unquestionable fact and something he must admit.
Products like AI have huge potential for improving production efficiency and quality of life, promoting scientific research and technological innovation, and even promoting social fairness and sustainable development.
But it is also like a double-edged sword, which not only brings unprecedented convenience and progress to mankind, but also quietly lays many questions worth pondering.
There is no need to say more about the cliché issues that every scientific and technological upgrade brings.
The most important thing is the human-computer relationship reconstruction, ethical and responsible dilemma, and the concerns of intelligent life brought about by AI.
Especially the last point.
Once intelligent life develops to the point where it can upgrade and design itself, it will make rapid progress like a rocket.
This is not a joke.
Theoretically, AI intelligence that achieves type I can optimize and adjust the self-code through large-scale training.
Just like Xiaoling modified the mathematical model he completed.
Innovator AI intelligence has already initially become creative, although its creativity may be much weaker than humans.
But it is undeniable that creativity is the basic condition of a higher intelligent life.
One of the core reasons why humans are advanced intelligent life is that they are creative ability.
The "Qi Ling" is far from this stage. The large section between "Agistrator AI" and "Innovator AI" may be a hurdle that it will never overcome.
But it is also possible that it can easily cross this threshold.
Until such an unknown thing comes, no one knows the result.
And not only Qiling is already in the Intelligent Type II stage, but other AI intelligence at home and abroad have also reached this stage.
For example, intelligent AI such as DeepSeek-V3 version and OpenAI·GPT-4.5 model have reached the intelligent stage by standard.
They all have a certain degree of autonomy and decision-making ability, and can complete long-term tasks in specific scenarios.
Theoretically, both Qiling, DeepSeek, or OpenAI have the possibility of continuing to upgrade and evolve into the innovator AI stage.
Therefore, the current AI intelligence is already evolving towards the direction of being ‘creative’.
For Xu Chuan, writing this letter today is not about trying to stop the development of artificial intelligence.
In fact, human beings' pursuit of technological progress is eternal. No matter it is him or others, it is impossible for them to deny the development brought about by technological progress.
But sometimes, some technologies that may be more "double-edged sword" after going deeper, such as gene editing, virtual reality, AI intelligence, etc. When studying these technology branches, it is better to establish perfect rules and response measures first than to find solutions after the incident.
If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world.
As a scholar who has long been at the peak of human civilization and wisdom, some things are indeed his responsibility and obligations.
Meanwhile, the East Coast of the Pacific.
United States, suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland.
An unknown armed operation is underway. A group of isolated protective suits that looked like in Resident Evil, fully armed personnel were quickly spraying an unknown liquid in a large research institute.
Soon, with a flash of circuit sparks, a blazing flames swallowed the entire institute.
The next day, a piece of news came into everyone's eyes in the news report of Maryland Media Television.
"A catastrophic fire broke out at the Hopkins Microbiology Institute in the suburb of Baltimore, Maryland."
"Firefighters rushed to the Hopkins Microbiology Institute for fire extinguishing operations in the afternoon of the same day, but due to the excessive fire, almost all the entire institute was burned."
"It is understood that the Hopkins Microbiology Institute is one of the top ten top biological research laboratories in the United States. It is under the jurisdiction of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It specializes in biological and herbal research. The goal is to convert biological and herbal research results into excellent nutritious foods."
"The fire was extremely sudden, and the important research center was swallowed up by the raging fire. The fire department is currently investigating the cause of the fire."
"Please pay attention to Maryland TV station for follow-up reports."
A fire swallowed up the entire Hopkins Institute of Microbiology. The relevant news could not be hidden from media reporters, and it was soon passed on the Internet, causing discussions among many netizens on the Internet.
[First there was a forest fire in Los Angeles, and now it was a fire at the Hopkins Institute of Microbiology. God, are you punishing our country? 】
[I am very curious about why such violent fires can occur in laboratories with sound fire equipment. I just read the news report and the entire research institute is almost in ashes. 】
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
[NO!NO!NO! This time the fire at the Hopkins Institute was not that simple. I had a friend living nearby. Some time ago, he quietly told me that there might have been a serious microbial virus leakage incident in the biology institute. During that time, the bodies were carried out from the institute every day!
[So this fire is burning down the biological virus inside? 】
[Run, if there is a serious epidemic infection in a living area near the Hopkins Institute of Biology, I can only say this. I have bought a ticket and left Maryland and am on the way to San Francisco. 】
[Pictures, pictures, pictures. This was sent to me by a friend of mine some time ago. He lived in Maryland and said that this was an animal infected with the biological virus mutated in the Hopkins Institute of Biology. 】
【? ? ? What's this? An animal with glass? Your friend has spoofed you with PS pictures. 】
【.】
Before these discussions and related news reports became popular, news about the Hopkins Microbiology Institute fire on the Internet had disappeared without a trace, as if this was a very ordinary fire.
However, not everyone is unaware of it, especially some residents living near the Hopkins Institute of Microbiology or Maryland.
When I received relevant news reports, many people noticed this news.
It was like Hill Demps, who lived around the Rollins Zoo, who felt something bad in his heart when he saw this news.
Just as he was searching for relevant reports online, the living room door was pushed open by his wife Juliana Casey and her daughter.
As soon as he entered the door, his daughter rushed over and complained with a pout, "Dadly, the Rollins Zoo is closed again. I haven't seen a cute koala!"
Holding up his little daughter, Hill Demps smiled and pinched her cheek, saying, "It's okay, we'll go and watch together when you're off school next Saturday."
"Okay~, but I really want baby Koala."
On the side, Juliana Casey took off her windbreaker and hung it on the living room hanger and spoke, "But we saw a very strange animal when we went to the Rollins Zoo today."
"A strange animal?"
Upon hearing this, Hill Demps looked at his wife curiously. In his arms, the lively daughter quickly raised her cartoon camera.
"yes! It looks like a rabbit, but its hair is all gone. Daddy, I have taken pictures. I have never seen such a strange animal before. What is it."
While shaking his mouth, his little daughter raised her cartoon camera.
In the small screen, a strange animal came into Hill Demps' eyes.
Judging from the appearance, it's like a rabbit.
But what is strange is that this rabbit-looking animal has no hair, just like a Sphinx hairless cat, with all its skin exposed in the air.
And what surprised Hill Demps even more was that the skin of this animal was not like that of an ordinary animal, or that rabbits usually showed pink skin after removing hair.
Covering the surface of the skin is a layer of squamous structure that looks like ceramic-like enamel, but it also looks like a squamous structure after skin cancer.
PS: Make up for updates~ There are still normal updates in the afternoon, please ask for monthly tickets.
