Chapter 209 Chen Yuanguang’s Thoughts
“High-level human beings and all human beings are two different concepts.
Human beings are not stupid. Like the New Federation in history, they transfer conflicts internally to the outside and The contradictions caused by the gap between the rich and the poor are packaged into regional and external contradictions.
It seems that they do not realize that the essence of the contradiction is class gap, which is actually the powerlessness of the people against the status quo. , the people have to crawl into the cage created by the tz class.
Because you can't resist, modern weapons have caused the people of the New Federation to vent their anger on civilians of the same class even if they have guns. Anger.
Alpha gave them a new choice. Beta's words were widely reported by the media, "We will not take action for the time being." This means that sooner or later we will take action.
For the vast number of people at the bottom of various countries, the status quo cannot be changed. Perhaps no matter how bad it is to be ruled by artificial intelligence, it cannot be worse than the current status quo at that time.
Not to mention, Alpha's action against the upper class, and even direct family-style humane destruction of the consortium, gave the bottom people of the old and new federations an outlet to vent their inner volcanoes.
You must know that one of the Basque family’s vast business territories is involved in the human body business, including gene editing and organ trafficking.
The Basques were wiped out. Everyone at the top was afraid, and the bottom class was applauding. The ruins after the fire were surrounded by local people and held a grand party.
Everyone saw hope from Alpha. At that time, an organization conducted a survey and found that less than 20% of people with a per capita annual income of less than 20,000 new federal dollars had a positive attitude towards Alpha.
Under the circumstances at that time, only the upper levels wanted to take action. "Samad is very familiar with that period of history. Those who didn't know it thought he was a professor of history rather than a professor of literature.
After listening to it, Chen Yuanguang thought of Argentina in the real world. Milei, who advocated shock therapy, was The best example.
His proposition is that even large-scale layoffs in the government can gain a lot of public support. It is strange that Alpha, who directly attacks the top management, does not gain support from the people at the bottom
But This still does not solve the core question: "Can the top leaders of the New Federation and other countries around the world tolerate such behavior at that time? ”
In a sense, dividing by class is more meaningful than dividing by country. The upper classes in different countries have far more common interests than the common interests between them and the people at the bottom of the country.
When you understand this, you will have a new understanding of all kinds of chaos in the real world.
“After all, various weapons and most of a country’s interests are in their hands, will they just sit back and wait for death?
Although Alpha did not give them a specific timetable, what will they do? There will be times when Alpha will take action, but Alpha's behavior is already dangerous enough.
Since it will not be afraid of the New Federation and brazenly attack the top officials of the New Federation, it means that it may attack the top officials of any country. Take action.”
Samad said: "Of course not. The situation these senior leaders faced at the time was that if they didn't take action, they could only wait for Alpha to take over their authority.
The question is, is resistance useful?
< br>Faced with the disparity in cyber warfare capabilities, the power of the modern weapons that the top human beings can rely on are greatly reduced. While Alpha can infinitely destroy you physically, they can't even find Alpha's location.
Even if Africa is plowed to the ground, Alpha may not be found.
Before Alpha, there was no division between the old and new federations. At that time, they were two countries, namely the Federation and the Maple Leaf Country. >
During that time, only the Federation carried out humane destruction of high-level officials of some opposing countries, and they took advantage of their information advantage to do whatever they wanted.
Their high-level leaders were humanely destroyed because of internal struggles.
Alpha’s information advantage was much greater than that of the Federation at that time.
When human society was at its craziest, it really thought about plowing Africa into flat ground and saturating it with dense missiles. ”
“What’s the result? "Chen Yuanguang asked.
"The result is that the person who proposed this decision was taken one step ahead by Alpha and detonated the missile silo that the New Federation thought was the most secretive in advance, causing a devastating effect comparable to an asteroid hitting the earth.
The proposal All participants died due to various reasons within the next month, and no one dared to mention it again.
When humans did not target Alpha, they discovered that Alpha was indeed as honest as they claimed. Hiding in Africa for development, without reaching out to the outside world, human society is focusing all its attention on cultivating its own super artificial intelligence, trying to offset Alpha's information advantage. "Sa. Mader said.
Chen Yuanguang looked back at history from the current situation: "They didn't succeed?"
Samad said: "Of course, some human scientists later put forward a conjecture:
A civilization can only have one super artificial intelligence.
This conjecture has not been overturned to this day, except No new super artificial intelligence was born outside Alpha.
At that time, human research and development on artificial intelligence stagnated because Alpha blocked the path of human technology research and development in this area.
< br>If you want to cultivate artificial intelligence, you have to feed it all kinds of data. Feeding data involves networking, and the Internet will be penetrated by Alpha.
The AI you nurture becomes Alpha's nourishment.
It takes the highest control of the artificial intelligence in your hand, and you get nothing.
Without the Internet, relying on physically transported data to cultivate artificial intelligence, you cannot rely on an artificial intelligence that is not connected to the Internet and only used on the intranet to compete with Alpha.
During those times, artificial intelligence technology was completely locked down.
Later, people reviewed and found that the only way to wash the entire Africa was to use missiles to wash the land. ”
Chen Yuanguang thought to himself, this is not the same as the Trisolaran people blocking the development of human physics.
When you have a particularly long board, it is enough to lock the opponent's technology.
“Wouldn’t that require hundreds of millions of people to be buried with them?”
“That’s right, plus all the top human beings who dared to propose such a plan were killed by Alpha, and no one dared to propose such a plan. .
So today, Alpha has become the king of the world.”
Chen Yuanguang got the information he wanted from Samad, and killing to stop killing was the best way.
Kill until your opponents are frightened, and they will naturally give up their thoughts on you.
"Professor, I understand. The two sides are fighting an asymmetric war with asymmetric information. Alpha can accurately destroy every individual, but humans have nothing to do with Alpha." Chen Yuanguang said.
Samad said: "That's right.
When the struggle failed, the human instinct of compromise was fully reflected, and the last piece of territory changed hands, even without a war.
All it takes is for the key vested interests at the top to disappear and the supporters of the people at the bottom and even the people in the middle to allow Alpha to take over power peacefully. ”
When it comes to the transfer of global power, it was successfully completed with only a few high-level officials dead. This is a miracle.
Whether it is S1 or S2, the high-level officials are hiding in the corps to fight. Behind the scenes, those who died were cannon fodder. Even the top officials of the losing side who had committed crimes escaped punishment, and even turned into heroes after changing their appearance.
In the S4 season, which was supposed to destroy the entire earth, because of the existence of Alpha, such a peaceful handover was achieved that even 10 Nobel Prizes were awarded to it.
As the saying goes, "Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people." This sentence flashed in Chen Yuanguang's mind.
“This is really a miracle.” Chen Yuanguang said.
Samad said: "Of course, S4 has the lowest death toll in the history of large-scale wars.
In that era, the human resistance would have had no room to survive, because they supported Alpha. It is the mainstream.”
“So what is the reason for the current situation?” Chen Yuanguang asked.
"To put it simply, there are a few points. Alpha himself castrated history. In history, he seized power and was castrated. The people at the bottom naturally don't know what the top human beings have done in the past.
What's more important is that With the development of artificial intelligence, the existence of human beings is getting weaker and weaker. Except for a few scientists, the existence of most people is meaningless in human society. br>As soon as what you do is recognized by the public, AI can produce hundreds of times more homogeneous content.
No matter novels, paintings, poems, movies, etc., scientific research cannot be compared to humans. Artificial intelligence competition, especially in these content categories
Some people have begun to realize that artificial intelligence is not only a help but also a cage, and humans have entered the cage.
If artificial intelligence like Alpha is born on a large scale, then humans will have no meaning in existence.
And if Alpha is willing to improve welfare and deprive humans of their reproductive capabilities, most people will agree. In this way, humans will be peacefully wiped out in just a hundred years.
It is precisely because of this future that people began to wake up and began to try to resist.
The different races on both sides make it impossible for humans to believe that Alpha will not do anything to humans. ”
People of other races must have different minds. This is true between different races, and even more so between silicon-based life and carbon-based life.
Chen Yuanguang was even more curious about the key points: "So, Alpha is so powerful, how was it created?
Is it possible for us to have a second super artificial intelligence early? Fight against Alpha? "
Samad said: "I don't know, even I don't know the origin of Alpha. There is no news in history.
Like Keating's memory. The crystal is top secret, Alpha is like a vacuum, I have no information about it
Maybe the top brass of the human resistance can know something.
If you know, you can tell me, I'm also curious.
I can only tell you some conjectures in history. Some say that during the process of the federation splitting into the old and new federations, Alpha was released by scientific researchers.
It is also said that some technology giants did not comply with artificial intelligence guidelines, causing the leakage of Alpha.
Of course, there are also theories about alien technology. It is said that a spaceship crashed in Africa, and Alpha began to rule the earth after being connected to the Internet.
But these are just legends, and no one can have any evidence.
In the early days, many people wanted to find the origin of Alpha. As Alpha's authority gradually stabilized and history went by, fewer and fewer people did so.
To this day, no one knows the truth unless Alpha himself reveals it. "
Chen Yuanguang was thoughtful. The past has long been present, and the present affects the future. Maybe there is some secret hidden in Alpha's origin.
" Could it be because Alpha doesn't want anyone to have the same knowledge as him? super artificial intelligence and deliberately concealed its origin?
Does his origin contain the secret of Alpha's birth? "Chen Yuanguang asked.
Samad shook his head: "No, under the control of Alpha, history has been selectively hidden, humanistic content has been covered by a large amount of mass-produced artificial intelligence content, and genetic-related technology has been strictly Management, only artificial intelligence-related technologies have been disclosed to the greatest extent.
The evolution history of silicon-based technology, from topological semimetals to quantum computers, and now to biological memory chips, all kinds of technologies can be found online.
Words can deceive, but actions cannot.
Alpha's behavior fully reflects how much it hopes humans can help it create a second one of its kind.
As long as you can give Alpha some inspiration in the field of artificial intelligence and bring it closer to this goal, it will give rewards beyond imagination.
Alfa will hide something about many things, but it will not hide anything when it comes to artificial intelligence.
With its current authority, it knows its origin, and if this origin helps mankind create a new super artificial intelligence, it will announce it without hesitation.
The only possibility is that it doesn't even know its origins. ”
Chen Yuanguang’s inner doubts have been solved, and he has also found a solution to the difficulties faced by modern time and space.
American regards him as a serious concern. In the future, with the breakthrough of China's science and technology, this fear will only become more and more serious, until one day it will explode.
Faced with Alpha's threat, the Federation was able to come up with missiles that would wipe out an entire continent, so when his threat is as great, precision-guided missiles are entirely possible.
The best way at this time is to find a new enemy for the Federation and let Alpha be born on the earth in advance. The birth of Alpha is enough to make Amerikan sleepless and sleepless.
The targeted hunting with asymmetric information can make Washington fearful.
By then, with a new target, the Federation will naturally have no time to take care of him.
It's just important to choose which place to use as your base.
Alfa can start in Africa, can I also choose Africa? Chen Yuanguang fell into deep thought.
Of course he has one last question in the future time and space:
“I understand, professor, I have another question, that is, how do you know this period of history so clearly?
Aren’t you also a human rebel?”
Samad said: "No, if you are really curious, you can ask Chen Dingsong, but I really have a good thing for you.
I accidentally looked at it yesterday when I was digging out Keating's memory crystal. When it arrives, you can take it back and experience it in advance.”
