Chapter 375 The design core of the new Lion City

"Yuan Guang, I think we need to define what kind of artificial intelligence Alpha is.

From your description, I feel that it has the ability to learn by itself, and at the same time, the planning of the new Lion City is full of awareness of self-expression after fully viewing human science fiction works.

If it has exceeded the limits of ordinary artificial intelligence, are you sure enough that it will not get out of control? "After hearing this, Lin Jia didn't feel much excitement, but felt panicked.

Just like when a ferocious beast suddenly appears when a human is walking in the wilderness, even if the person sitting on the back of the beast is a familiar person, the instinctive fear of human beings will not disappear so easily.

After the mystery was revealed, Lin Jia's joy that Chen Yuanguang gained power in a country was diluted.

For Chinese people, the Li family has been in power in the Lion City for more than fifty years, but there are few rich people who have been in power for fifty years, so it is easy to weigh the value of the two.

There are some things that can be told to Lin Jia, such as the existence of Alpha and the strategy of the Lion City. Lin Jia himself was involved in these at the beginning.

Some things can't be done, such as his ability to go to the future and what kind of future he sees.

Therefore, Chen Yuanguang had no way to tell Lin Jia that no matter whether Alpha could become a real artificial intelligence, he would definitely make a profit.

If he can uncover the mystery of Alpha's birth in the future timeline, then he can reap huge benefits in future time and space.

"The core control code of Alpha is in my hands, and I am confident enough that it will not get out of control.

As for some of the points you are worried about, I can only tell you that Alpha has enough self-awareness. He has indeed drawn inspiration from a large number of science fiction works and hopes to create a future city in the eyes of artificial intelligence.

It is for this reason that in the bidding for the construction of the new Lion City that faces the world, only the construction team is required, not the designer.

The design of the new Lion City was handled by Alfa. He even had many ideas and hoped that I could provide technical support to help him create a truly futuristic city. ”

Changi Airport in the Lion City is considered a landmark building in the Lion City. The architect Moshe Safdie who was responsible for designing Changi Airport designed a large number of famous buildings in the Lion City.

For example, Marina Bay Sands, EDITION Hotel, etc. Even the slogan of the Lion City Garden City comes from Safdie's motto when he was young: "One person, one garden."

Raffles in Chongqing was also made by him.

In the field of architecture, Safdie is a bit like a master of the Lion City. Therefore, after the Lion City announced the plan for the new Lion City, Safdie has been waiting for the Lion City to contact him and hand over the landmark building of the new Lion City. He will design it, just like Marina Bay Sands did after land reclamation in the past.

Not only does Safdie want to leave his own design concept in the new Lion City, a large number of internationally renowned architect firms are waiting to help the new Lion City with urban planning, and are waiting for the Lion City to conduct a global bidding on the design level.

But their construction party bidding is about to end, Huaguo Construction is about to enter the site to start preliminary work, and there is no movement from the designer yet.

"So what he wants to do is New York in 2259 in The Fifth Element, Tokyo in 2029 in Ghost in the Shell, or the Martian city in Total Recall?" Lin Jia asked.

They had all watched these movies together.

Among them, only Ghost in the Shell visually contrasts with the dark and decadent environment and brightly colored neon lights, giving the audience an intuitive feeling of class separation.

Whether it's Total Recall or The Fifth Element, the future cities in them are mainly high-tech, and actually don't have much of a cyberpunk feel.

Chen Yuanguang shook his head: "In terms of architectural style, the new Lion City in Alpha Design still lacks this kind of imagination. No matter how we deduce it, we can only find a relatively futuristic and in line with the real-world architectural capabilities in the existing design style. urban style

But in the new Lion City, the core design concept only has two words. Can you guess which two words it is? ”

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said: "Smart?"

Chen Yuanguang shook his head, "No, it's permission.

Alpha will be everywhere in the new Lion City, and authority will become the essence of the new Lion City.

The application of a large number of new technologies will thoroughly implement authority in the Lion City.

Let me give you a relatively simple example. Nowadays, everyone goes home through their own door lock. Today's smart door locks allow everyone to unlock the door through various methods such as keys, faces, passwords, and NFC.

In the new Lion City, there will be no concept of locks. You will know whether you have the authority to open all doors when you stand in front of them.

The moment the HDB flat is assigned to me, the corresponding permissions are opened to me.

In the past, offline offices were rented out in an office, or to an exaggeration, it was a building on one floor.

In the new Lion City, each individual has a corresponding office space. Individuals work in the office space and communicate with colleagues through augmented reality technology.

No matter where you live, as long as your company pays for your office expenses, you can go to any unoccupied standard workstation in any office building in New Lion City, sit down, and start working.

Your corresponding office information will be automatically synchronized to the computer at your workstation. At the same time, after the augmented reality function of the workstation is turned on, whether it is meetings, communication with customers, or communication with leaders, it will all be completed by meeting with the avatar.

Including shopping, in the past there were offline malls for shopping, so in the new Lion City, traditional shopping plazas still exist, but there will also be a large number of shopping units in office buildings.

The function of these shopping units is to turn Hornbill into an augmented reality to help individuals shop, simulating a picture of you wearing corresponding clothes, giving you a stronger sense of participation in shopping. ”

After listening to this, Lin Jia said: "I feel like this is the core of cyberpunk, but I always feel something is weird.

I thought it was an architectural style of cyberpunk, similar to the kind of low-altitude aircraft flying everywhere, and through airspace classification, flying cars can travel among densely populated skyscrapers.

High-rise building overpasses divide the urban space into several layers in the vertical dimension, and then use a large number of neon lights to create a gorgeous light and shadow effect.

If in order to meet the characteristics of cyberpunk, it would have to be allocated to the poor in HDB flats with particularly poor conditions. The poor would live in HDB flats with particularly poor conditions and numb themselves through augmented reality.

In order to paralyze himself with augmented reality, he even had to go to a gorgeous neon building to serve as a test subject for pharmaceutical giants.

Then a certain distorted experimental subject escaped and was determined to overthrow the New Lion City.

I thought that was the case, but you told me that authority dominates everything.

Doesn’t this mean that Alpha helps humans think more and more?

Alpha is getting more and more involved in human life in its own way.

In the past, when I started a company, I had to think about where the office would be and where the registration would be. But now I don’t need to. I didn’t need employees at first, it was just me, so I would just rent a workstation.

For subsequent expansion, I don't have to think about anything superfluous, no matter how many people I add or how many workstations I add. As for the people I recruit, I don’t even need to meet them in reality, we can complete the cooperation and complete the work.

The money is distributed through the bank, the contract is signed online, the office is a remote neighbor, and the check-in aspect must be provided by Alpha statistics.

Maybe from entrepreneurship to development, I went from one person to a team of thousands of people, but I have never met these thousand people offline. The entire New Lion City is a cyberpunk city composed of information and data, and it feels more like Ghost in the Shell. ”

After hearing this, Chen Yuanguang nodded and said: "What you said is already somewhat relevant.

If the design concept is permissions, then the underlying logic behind it is close to what you said but different. The underlying logic is virtual reality.

In the past, we have been trying to create shells for artificial intelligence, like various forms of robots, so that they can survive in the real world, and they can read and understand the real world.

What Alpha is doing is allowing humans to live in virtual reality.

Minimize the contact between people as much as possible and let people live in the flood of data.

It is trying to digitize people. Although individuals exist in reality, individuals in the New Lion City are more like virtual lights and shadows composed of data.

I may only work in room 1101 on the 11th floor of the office building at No. 100 New Lion City Avenue, but I exist in hundreds of rooms in New Lion City at the same time and communicate with people.

I choose products in the shopping unit, and after I place the order, tens of thousands of merchants connected to Hornbill will provide me with the products. My needs have not been communicated, and the merchants' supply does not need to be communicated to me either.

Where I live, Alpha will naturally decide. Residents of the new Lion City have corresponding HDB flats.

Foreign tourists do not have the concept of a hotel, only the concept of level. Which level of hotel do you want to stay in? Each building functions as a hotel. After you go there individually, you can check in to a room of the corresponding level or below.

For example, if you book a five-star hotel, you can check in in any unoccupied room in any hotel in the New Lion City.

It builds virtual reality games in reality, uses permissions to manage humans, and uses the flow of data to replace human behavior.

This is the New Lion City Plan. ”

Lin Jia found it interesting when he heard this.

This is indeed the equivalent of building a virtual reality game in reality.

Human beings use their real bodies to survive in the torrent of data built by artificial intelligence behind them, and use the data generated by their own behaviors to provide nourishment for the growth of artificial intelligence.

In fact, this plan has never appeared even in future time and space.

Chen Yuanguang’s impression after reading it was that such a future city is a compromise before the breakthrough of virtual reality technology.

It would be best if each individual could be placed in a nutrition warehouse, where they would only move around in the virtual world, and artificial intelligence would uniformly provide nutritional solutions, similar to the Matrix.

But now that technology cannot do that, we can only compromise through augmented reality technology, which can only reduce human activities in the real world, but cannot completely eliminate them.

After thinking about it, Lin Jia couldn't help but said: "Isn't this too radical?

It is dissolving many concepts built by humans in the past after entering modern society. This is not about making individuals atomized, but about making individuals data-oriented. ”

Chen Yuanguang said: "This is already the product of my thinking and cutting, and its more radical ideas have been cut off by me.

In the process of moving towards the future world, mankind does need exploration like the New Lion City. ”

Lin Jia asked: "I have another question, that is, the public crisis regarding leaks has just broken out in the Lion City. Now the new Lion City stores a large amount of data in the cloud, and Alpha distributes it through permissions.

You also mentioned before that an individual can go to any workroom of the corresponding level, and then the computer will call up his corresponding cloud information through facial recognition, so that he can start working directly.

Aren’t companies worried about the Lion City gaining access to their secrets and causing losses?

The lessons from the past are still in front of us. Will any companies really be willing to relocate to the new Lion City? ”

Chen Yuanguang said: "This involves what the new Lion City can give enterprises.

One is to give an unconditional commitment from a legal perspective, promising to protect customer privacy, otherwise it will bear all losses.

The other is that Alpha is present in the New Lion City, which will provide individuals with the best artificial intelligence in the world. At the same time, the existence of the New Lion City can allow companies to save a lot of costs.

These two moves will lead to no disadvantage.

Besides, even if there are no enterprises, synthetic sand alone is enough to keep New Lion City alive.

Life Insurance-Guangjia Wellness Center is not a social experiment, this new Lion City is a social experiment.

What I also think is that if the new Lion City model works well, then I will allow Alfa to expand to Malaysia and even the entire Southeast Asia.

A hundred years from now, the legacy I can leave to our descendants is the highest authority in Southeast Asia.

At best, he has all the authority over the entire Southeast Asia. At worst, he has at least all authority over the New Lion City. ”

Lin Jia thought Chen Yuanguang was hinting at her: "Do you want a child?"

Chen Yuanguang shook his head quickly: "Of course not, it's just the secondary disease. I can't go to the Lion City myself. Maybe my next generation will have the opportunity to go.

In this virtual reality game built by Alpha, he is a bug-level existence, which would be so interesting.

This is somewhat similar to how Lu Mingfei used Blacksheepwall to analyze the map of Bronze City in Dragon Race 1.

Someone can go to the new Lion City on my behalf and enjoy life to the fullest with the highest authority that I am unable to use, to make up for the regret that I cannot witness the new Lion City with my own eyes. ”

Judging from the videos or pictures, it is ultimately different from going by yourself.

Chen Yuanguang is still several years away from turning thirty. Lin Jia can completely understand such thoughts. She smiled and said: "Okay, I also look forward to what it will be like if he goes to the new Lion City you left for him."

Lin Jia then asked: "So will you renovate the old Lion City?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "This depends on the effect of the operation of the new Lion City.

As for the public's acceptance of it, as you said, this design plan is too radical. Obviously not everyone can accept such a radical city.

I'm not crazy enough to change the lives of millions of people out of the idea of ​​a social experiment. ”
