Chapter 208 Death is everywhere
Knowing the future evolution of history, Chen Yuanguang naturally knows that what Alpha said will gradually become a reality in the future, and only a few enclaves are left in the control of mankind.
From Keating’s perspective, Beta’s speech could not be overstated as arrogant.
Because humans still occupy most of the world's land and oceans, the development of science and technology has made human society very understanding of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence assistants are indispensable on every enterprise and even every individual’s mobile terminal.
Human beings know so much about artificial intelligence that they have already predicted what artificial intelligence can and cannot do.
Even super artificial intelligence cannot escape this category.
Unless it's alien technology from outer space.
Therefore, both Keating and other senior officials of the New Federation regard Beta as a model of overestimating one's capabilities:
However, Keating still needs to be more cautious: "The special plane they took is What model? ”
"It is the Boeing 1260, a model designed by Boeing 20 years ago. It is a commercial passenger aircraft we sold to South Africa 10 years ago. The model and parameters can be found in Boeing's system.
No changes have been made to the materials or the interior of the engine."
Keating nodded: "I am worried that they will have any technological breakthroughs that will pose a huge threat to human society."
"You are right to worry. According to think tank deductions, with the support of super AI, we will have a period of technological advantage of up to five to ten years.
After this period, Africa will surpass us in technology. , we will no longer have a technological advantage.”
"So we need to start a war on artificial intelligence soon?" Keating asked.
“Yes, to some extent, we need to unite all the forces that can be united.
Alpha makes the satellite useless and Africa becomes a black hole that can not be entered but cannot be exited. What we know about Alpha Not much.
According to think tank research, this will be an arduous battle.
For the new federation, we will face an information asymmetric war for the first time. We are the disadvantaged side of information asymmetry
In the past, we were the ones with the advantage of information.
It can be said that Alpha is already more than one step ahead of us in the field of information security. "
Keating said: "Let's make the matter of artificial intelligence public first, have a discussion at the United Nations, and see the attitudes of other major countries.
We can start preparing. ”
The United Nations here is very different from the United Nations around the millennium. It is a new organization established long after the United Nations was disbanded. England was kicked out of the five permanent members.
Now there are only three permanent members, the New European Union, the New Federation and China.
"Commander, Feinstein was stabbed to death on the spot in a bar, and the party suggested that Gavin should be replaced."
"Commander, Ginsburg was killed this morning He died in a car accident. The driver who caused the accident has been caught. He claimed that he suddenly lost control of the car. "
" Commander, Cornell was found to have committed suicide at home. There were no signs of suicide at the scene. . ”
In just one month, one-third of the original big names in the Senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court of the new federation died, and they died in all kinds of strange ways.
From Keating's perspective, Chen Yuanguang could see the look of the White House secretary-general who reported the death, from calm to panic and finally numbness.
In the news program on the screen in the White House Commander's Office, almost every day the content is obituaries and analysis of the deaths of various people.
"Commander, Mr. Basque and his main heirs all died last night. The cause of death was a fire in the house, and no one survived."
Chen Yuanguang was able to break out from Keating The Qingjin felt that the other party's mood was not calm.
“Has the arsonist been found?”
"No."
"Damn Alpha!"
Yes, although one by one, some were suicides, some were homicides, and the murderer was found in all of them, but it is obvious that this Behind the scenes is a targeted killing plan led by Alpha.
A is responsible for killing, B, C, D, and E are responsible for providing tools, and Alpha is responsible for providing information.
As long as a person is a person, especially a person who reaches a high position, he will offend many people along the way, and there will always be people who want to kill him.
For example, when Feinstein was a state legislator, she defended a pharmaceutical company that had major accidents, causing a large number of infants and young children to suffer accidental brain injuries.
After-the-fact compensation is not painful for this pharmaceutical company. Under Feinstein’s operation, the original amount of compensation has shrunk by more than ten times. All the money that should have been given to the victims has become Feinstein's donation.
There are many families of victims who want revenge. In the past, they had no chance. Now Alpha provides them with Feinstein's location and tells them the tools.
As for the victims’ family members, Alpha also went through emotional screening and selected the one with the highest hatred value to complete the final kill, while other victims’ families with slightly lower hatred values provided tools.
B placed the tool in the gym closet, C took it out of the closet and put it at the courier point, and D, the victim's family member at the courier point, provided it to A.
You can't evade it even if you want to. A only needs to walk into the bar, pick up the gun from the bar front desk and shoot. The entire chain does not leave Feinstein any time to hesitate.
“According to investigations by relevant agencies, this is a series of careful plans. Alpha will first confirm the authenticity of what it says through some small intelligence.
Then it will induce the target The target committed the crime, which is the root of everything.
Some high-ranking officials seemed to have committed suicide or accidents, which were all the result of Alpha's control.
Cornell's suicide was due to an incident. The past years were dug up by Alpha, and Alpha forced Cornell and his allies to commit suicide through this past event that would destroy the political lives of Cornell and his allies."
"We underestimated Alpha before. It has more than just the advantage of information asymmetry. It is the leader of the information society.
Their confidence comes from their crushing advantage in the field of information security.
They can physically destroy human beings and carry out precise attacks on target targets.
Alpha can even accurately dig out the consortium behind each congressman and the actual controller of the consortium, and then carry out attacks on these targets. Fixed-point blasting.”
With Keating’s perspective, Chen Yuanguang finally understood how Alpha bought time.
He was curious about what methods humans would take to confront Alpha's digital authority.
With the birth of the Internet, there are two spaces, the real world and the virtual world, which complement each other and influence each other.
Although Alpha does not have authority over the real world at this point in time, it has already gained authority over the virtual world with the advantage of super artificial intelligence.
Relying on the authority of the virtual world to form a dimensionally reducing attack on the real world. You can't destroy my server, you can't even find my real body. You even have the satellites in the sky invaded by me, but I can find every individual who has made a decision that is unfavorable to me and destroy them physically. .
This is how Alpha plays.
Chen Yuanguang continued to read, and he had a hunch that the subsequent development would be even more exciting.
"So what is the current plan?
His methods determine that none of us are safe, right?" Keating asked.
“No, another way is to hide in the bunker.
At present, some consortiums have sent some people to hide in bunkers and cut off all external networks in an attempt to avoid Alpha's attack. ”
Alpha’s attacks are not only directed at the top brass in Washington, but also against consortiums and local powerful people scattered in various states. These people maintain a very strong influence on Washington, but they have also become Alpha. The target of the attack.
The Basque family is a die-hard supporter of Keating and has been wiped out.
Before the secretary could finish his words, his phone rang and his glasses flashed. A green light.
Nowadays, most people’s mobile terminals are glasses. Brain-computer interface technology and pupil imaging allow glasses to replace mobile phones.
"Okay, I understand. I will inform the commander in time." The secretary's tone contained fear and anger.
"Commander, there is no use hiding in the bunker, because Alpha can directly control the launch of our missiles. They just attacked Morgan's bunker in Tennessee. The bunker was destroyed and no one survived."
The entire content came to an abrupt end. Chen Yuanguang watched the early images of contact between humans and Alpha from Keating’s first-person perspective.
He understood that Alpha was enough to make all human countries feel scared, why no one dared to confront Alpha.
What about below? Chen Yuanguang was eager to read the following content, but in the end, it was gone. It was comparable to his ability to write novels out of chapters.
Chen Yuanguang even felt that waiting for one day to find Samad was so long.
At nine o'clock the next morning, he finally saw Samad walking slowly to the office carrying a lunch box. Chen Yuanguang had been waiting for forty minutes.
"Yuan Guang, it seems you didn't sleep well yesterday. How about it? It's wonderful, isn't it?" Samad teased.
Chen Yuanguang nodded: "It's so exciting, but it's a bit lacking in head and tail."
Samad glanced at it and said, "Come on, come in and talk."
After entering, it was still the same as yesterday, but because it was daytime, even if the curtains were closed, there was light.
“Roughly as you can see, Alpha used the new method it created to prevent all human countries from going against it.
This method was used by humans at that time The society named it social engineering assassination.
It means to combine assassination with social engineering. You never know where the assassination will come from.
Maybe the waitress in the hotel is you. The illegitimate daughter who was once abandoned, she would poison your champagne
Maybe your opponent in Congress was caught by Alpha, and in order to avoid being exposed, he had to take a shot at you.
Or maybe Alpha directly operates your car and makes it hit the guardrail on the roadside at a speed of 120 yards.
Death is everywhere. ”
Chen Yuanguang knows what it means. In the 21st century, there is the concept of social engineering network attack.
Hackers combine network attacks with social engineering. They no longer rack their brains to break you. For firewalls, you only need to bribe internal employees to grant you permissions
They use the human factor to attack the information security chain, because humans are the weakest link in the entire chain, and they use deception to invade the computer system of the deceived person.
Here, Alpha does not need to go through war, it can just bypass the decision-makers behind the war. It has the power of the entire digital world, and everyone is no different from being naked to it.
"Don't humans resist?" Chen Yuanguang asked.
Samad said: “Of course, you must know that that period of time was the most feared time in the upper class. Murder was everywhere. For the first time, no one wanted to be a member of the Congress in Washington.
< br>The problem is that human society is not monolithic. Different classes, different races, and different countries have different interests, and it is impossible to unite together.
When Alpha's behavior was exposed by the media, not only did it not arouse people's fear and hatred of artificial intelligence, but it made most people hope to get help from Alpha to help them kill the objects of hatred that they might not have had the chance to kill in the past.
The people at the bottom of the new federation and the people who were abandoned by the old federation are eager to see the big shots in Washington shrunk.
The behavior of the spearheads and financial groups has made Alpha highly praised.
During this period, there were even human hackers pretending to be Alpha, driving the bottom to attack the top.
This is the most chaotic era.
What makes the top human beings even more helpless is that Alpha can break into their weapon systems and bypass restrictions on using their weapon systems.
Because many weapons are highly related to communications, you need to use satellites as auxiliary guidance systems to correct navigation errors and improve positioning accuracy.
Unless you don’t use the information network to get rid of Alpha control, then if you don’t use the information network, how can you attack Africa?
Without the help of communications, it would be a joke for mankind to return to the large-corps combat mode of the early 20th century, and then to conquer Africa in modern combat.
In short, there is nothing humans can do against Alpha.
Didn’t you find that the holographic influence you were watching stopped abruptly?
Do you know where this holographic image comes from? "
When Chen Yuanguang looked at the holographic image, he made a guess: "It can't be Keating's memory, right? "
Samad said: "Yes, this is Keating's memory, and the one I have is the original version, not the burned version.
After Keating passed away, the Federation burned Keating's memory. However, due to technical reasons, only his most profound memory before his death was available.
What's even more pity is that this memory stops at this place.
The last place you saw was the day before Keating died, and the memory of the day he died is not in my hands.
You must know that Keating's death is an unsolved mystery. I don't know where that part of the memory has been lost. "
Chen Yuanguang was shocked after hearing this. Samad can get this thing, what is his true identity?
The memory fragments of the federal president are in Samad's hands. This The nature is like an unknown professor from a small Southeast Asian country telling you that he has the original work of Wang Xizhi in his hand.
"So how did humans resist at that time?" Chen Yuanguang asked.
"It's not the human beings who are resisting, it's the higher-ups of the human race." Samad said lightly.
