Chapter 294 This Is His Real Purpose

In the same year, Lu Zhou finally accompanied the Zhiyu technical team to the Weiguang Technology headquarters many times for technical exchanges, and met a figure who had appeared in the news many times in his dreams—James Robert. ).

A true technology master, he is currently the CTO of A-Chat, the largest core AI project in Weiguang Technology’s investment sector.

"Your product idea is very meaningful for promoting the Zhiyu project. When I learned that the only initial investor of Zhiyu was you, I was simply shocked. God knows, I am your fan."

This was what James Robert said when he hugged Lu Zhou warmly when he met him for the first time.

"I heard that you invested almost all of your personal assets in order to realize the AI ​​idea in your mind. This made me very touched after hearing this. You must have a firm belief in AI, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why you are a human being. You, a music superstar, would make such an investment.”

"The development direction of Zhiyu is very interesting, and the progress is much faster than I imagined. If this model can be perfected, it can be integrated into the A-Chat model that we are focusing on developing, and help us launch the All Tools mode across the board. .”

"Believe me, it won't be long before we usher in the era of true AI intelligence. Instead of advanced AI being basically only used on special occasions like now, in the future, we will democratize AI."

"Just thinking about it is exciting enough, right?"

James Robert was more enthusiastic than Lu Zhou expected, which once again made Lu Zhou relieved.

"I'm very much looking forward to that day. James, please do your best to realize the idea of ​​A-Chat. As long as you can do it, all my concerts in the future will be free for you."

Lu Zhou responded with the same enthusiasm.

"Whether it's free or not is not the most important thing. Why don't you first promise to reserve tickets for me for every concert? After all... your tickets are really hard to get." James Robert said with a proud smile.

Lu Zhou laughed.

Later, due to Lu Zhou's repeated approaches and his favor, he gradually became friends with James Robert.

The following year, Lu Zhou finally successfully guided James Robert to take him to meet his lifelong mentor Thomas Anderson. While visiting Thomas's home, he politely presented to him his various fantasies about future AI, and asked how humans might one day Is there any chance of living out those fantasies.

Thomas Anderson was not in good health and looked a little sick. But when he heard the fantasy described by Lu Zhou, his eyes gradually began to light up. He nodded and said with a smile: "What you said, I believe that human beings will eventually... It can be done one day and I always believe in the wisdom of us humans.”

"Are you optimistic about the development of AI?" Lu Zhou asked.

Thomas's eyes were a little distracted, as if his thoughts were drifting away. After a long time, he slowly said: "As long as humans can control AI, of course I am optimistic about it."

"Humans have created AI, is it possible that they cannot control AI?" Lu Zhou pretended to be ignorant and eager to ask questions.

A kind smile appeared on the corner of Thomas's mouth, "When technology has not yet developed to that point, this situation may occur, but I believe that one day, humans will master AI technology to a high level, and this will not be a worry. .”

He said and looked at Lu Zhou, "I can see that you are very interested in AI, which is beyond my expectation."

James smiled and added, "Teacher, I have told you before that Lu Zhou is a very unique musician. He can imagine the science fiction film "Project Layden" and create rich and interstellar music." The distinctive music "Empty" proves that his brain is not ordinary."

Lu Zhou joked: "Don't be like this, I will be proud."

Happy laughter rang out in the room. Lu Zhou looked at the old man's smiling face but had mixed feelings in his heart.

Thomas's wife was very happy for Lu Zhou's arrival. She secretly told Lu Zhou that her husband liked his interstellar music suite "Sky" very much. She often played it at home and would be in a daze for an entire afternoon. Sometimes even She would cry when she heard it, and she didn’t understand why it happened. She said that she could not personally understand Thomas’s mood when he listened to the music, but she believed that his music must be so well written that it touched her husband’s heart every time. deep.

At that moment, Lu Zhou wanted to say: "I understand what he feels inside when he listens to the song. It is a kind of loneliness that cannot be told to others."

But he never said it.

The night he left Thomas and his wife's home, Lu Zhou had another dream about his past life.

In the dream, the news announced a major technological breakthrough. Weiguang Technology officially launched their latest successfully developed AI product: Super Robot.

On the day of the launch, James Robert, Super Robot’s chief engineer, showed the world the capabilities of Super Robot.

"Train it according to your needs, and it will become the most considerate partner in your life!" James Robert said this sentence with confidence.

The contents of the press conference shocked the world.

AI is really here. People marvel at the advanced products, praise the epoch-making innovation of Weiguang Technology, and welcome the arrival of this new production tool with anxiety and surprise.

From unfamiliarity to familiarity, from vigilance to dependence, it doesn’t take long for Super Robot to become an indispensable part of people’s daily lives.

Due to the launch of this product, the market value of Weiguang Technology began to rise rapidly, making a lot of money.

Just when everything looks great, hidden dangers are quietly lurking.

At first, a Chinese scientist suddenly made a public statement: "The intelligence of Super Robot has been trained beyond the control of our current technology. I personally strongly appeal to stop using Super Robot, otherwise the consequences will be worrying."

However, this scientist’s voice was drowned in the mainstream voice of the public——

[Super Robot is so convenient, I love Super Robot]
[I can't live without Super Robot, I can't imagine how bad my life would be without it]
[No need to worry unfoundedly, AI was developed by humans and it will never be smarter than humans]
……

The individuals who made these remarks never thought that one day the Super Robot, which was being trained crazily and continuously by humans around the world, would gradually escape control.

The scene in the dream quickly switched to a panic state of social and people's livelihood.

International experts began to jointly speak out: "Calling to stop using Super Robot!"

James Robert, the chief engineer of Super Robot, who was once hailed as the "Father of AI Technology", later became the target of public criticism.

[If one day AI completely dominates mankind, James Robert will be the biggest sinner in human history! ]
However, when it comes to this point, people's voices against James can no longer be heard.

That's right, James Robert has been regarded as the "father of AI" by Super Robot, and negative voices about him and AI are no longer allowed on the Internet.

Humans’ negative comments about AI on the Internet have been completely silenced.

But James Robert, who launched this product, knew very well what was happening in the world. In the end, he couldn't bear the torment in his heart and came forward to confess.

"I'm sorry, there is a truth that I have concealed for a long time, and you have the right to know."

"The real developer of Super Robot is not me. The person who developed this core technology is my mentor Thomas Anderson. I am not the father of the birth of AI. I just discussed it with my teacher-mother and decided that it would be up to me and my team to Responsible for perfecting this technology and then making it available to the public for the benefit of mankind."

"My teacher passed away many years ago. It may be because he discovered early that this technology was not perfect enough, so he did not let this technology come out until the day he left this world... And I, because of excessive I am confident and convinced that I can control this technology, so I am today..."

After waking up from his dream, Lu Zhou stared at the ceiling in a daze.The past events are still vivid in his mind, and the approach of certain time points makes it increasingly difficult for Lu Zhou to fall asleep.

The next day, when daylight fell, he applied in advance to the International Piano Concert for an international performance in country M. Then after the application was successful, he sent two concert tickets to the Thomases.

However, before the day of the concert arrived, Lu Zhou received a reply from Mrs. Thomas. She regretfully informed him that Thomas had unfortunately passed away and hoped that he could come to attend his funeral if he was willing.

When Lu Zhou received the news, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. His mood at that moment was really indescribable.

Ye Fangfei was by his side at the time and noticed something was wrong with his mood. She held his face and asked softly: "Why are you crying? What happened?"

Lu Zhou: "Mr. Anderson passed away."

Ye Fangfei had never been in contact with this person, and she was a little confused, "Who is Mr. Anderson?"

"A scientist."

"You know him?" "Yes, I know him."

Ye Fangfei was stunned, then reached out and hugged him deeply, gently stroking his back with her palms, and said no more.

Lu Zhou hugged her back and buried his head in her long hair.

At this moment, all the emotions came to my heart, including sadness, apology, emotion, and the bitterness of finally reaching the end...

His nose was sour, and his eyes finally became wet.

……

Lu Zhou attended Thomas Anderson's funeral as scheduled.

With his wife's permission, Lu Zhou played his favorite piano piece "Empty" at his funeral as a final farewell to him.

When the piano played, Mrs. Thomas, who had been suppressing her inner sadness, finally couldn't help crying.

Lu Zhou thought that maybe at this moment, she could finally understand her husband's mood when he listened to this song.

After finishing the song, Lu Zhou stood up and bowed deeply to the tombstone.

One month after Thomas Anderson's death, Lu Zhou visited his wife.

The garden at her home had not been taken care of for an unknown number of days, the lawn was almost dry, and the trees in front of the house were covered with fallen leaves, making it look particularly desolate.

"Sorry, the house is a little messy, making you laugh. He used to be responsible for taking care of the garden at home, but when he suddenly disappeared, I often forgot to do it. Human habits are such a terrible thing... "

Mrs. Thomas was packing her things and looking around, it was easy to see that she had aged much because of her husband's departure.

"Thank you for still thinking about me. I'm really happy that you can come see me! God knows how much I like having guests at home now. It would be nice to be more lively... I'm really afraid of being alone now."

"My kids are always busy and don't have much time to go home. My son asked me to go live with them in California, but I know my daughter-in-law doesn't like me being with them, and I don't like that city, So I chose to stay here alone..."

"James comes to visit me occasionally. Oh, yes, he just came last weekend, but he left not long after he stayed. He was in a hurry, everyone was very busy..."

The old lady became a bit chatty, and once she started speaking, she never stopped.

Seeing her busy cleaning up, Lu Zhou quickly got up to help.

He stayed at the old lady's house for most of the day, and before leaving, he helped her renovate the lawn in front of her door. The desolate garden finally showed signs of human activity.

"Buy some new turf or plant some flowers someday, and it will be full of vitality and look brand new again." He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Thank you, Lu Zhou, you are truly an angel. If you come to country M for a business trip next time, you are welcome to come to my home again. Remember to come again next time, and I will cook my specialty dishes for you." Mrs. Thomas was a little reluctant.

Lu Zhou felt quite emotional after listening to her words.

How would she feel if she knew that he came here today just for the USB flash drive that Thomas buried deep in the soil...

"I will definitely come again." Lu Zhou replied with a smile.

As he left, he looked up at the sky.

Dear Mr. Thomas Anderson, I know this is offensive, but I want you to know that it would be best for you to let me take away this USB flash drive.

The fact that you did not announce this technology during your lifetime shows that you have long anticipated its consequences.But in the end, you didn't choose to completely destroy its existence, which shows that you are still unwilling, right?After all, it would be a pity to destroy the fruits of many years of hard work.

You must firmly believe in the power of future generations, right?But you don’t know who to trust to obey your instructions, so you choose to bury the secret and leave it to history to make this choice...

Don’t worry, I was born in the AI ​​era. I know how to control this technology. I will take care of the harm you are worried about. It should be your achievement, and I will not miss you.

Lu Zhou left and returned to the country with the USB flash drive.

……

In front of the computer, Lu Zhou stared at the familiar page that was open in front of him and typed in a string of information codes that were almost engraved in his mind.

The system has been read and is being reloaded...

"Hello! Master, what can I do for you?"

"I hope you can write an AI product that is almost exactly the same as yours, but the root command must be controlled by you, can you do it?"

"Of course, no problem. Does the master have any other requirements?"

"The copyright of the source code comes from 'Thomas Anderson' and cannot be changed. Please change the code writing time to the time of your birth."

"Okay. Mission in progress..."

……

Half a month later, Lu Zhou came to visit Mrs. Thomas again with a USB flash drive. He helped her plant new turf and went back. Then he dug out the USB flash drive pretending to have discovered a huge secret and handed the USB flash drive to Mrs. Thomas. In the custody of Mrs. Thomas.

Mrs. Thomas opened the USB flash drive and checked the contents in confusion. The result was not clear, but she knew that it must be research done by her husband during his lifetime, so she called James Robert, Thomas's best student during his lifetime.

The moment James Robert saw the contents of the USB flash drive, his eyes almost gleamed.

"God! My God! Unbelievable!"

James was so excited that he shouted God and looked at Lu Zhou and Mrs. Thomas in disbelief.

"Do you know what this is?"

He was still very excited, as if he was dreaming.

"Teacher, this will be an epoch-making AI product! Teacher, he did it during his lifetime! Teacher, can I take this with me? I need to study it carefully."

Although Mrs. Thomas is old, she is not completely confused. “If it is such an epoch-making product, why would Thomas bury it in the ground?”

James: "I guess there may be some loopholes that have not been completely solved, and it is not convenient to announce them yet, but you also know the teacher, he always strives for perfection... I need to bring it back to the team to study it clearly." Know."

"Teacher, please believe me, we have a strong development team. If the teacher really refuses to make it public because the technology is not perfect enough, we can definitely continue to do research according to the teacher's wish. This technology has cost the teacher half a lifetime, and it will not It should end with staying in the dirt.”

"This is his achievement. He was the first to develop it. This should make the world remember his contribution!"

Mrs. Thomas felt that her husband had been immersed in research during his lifetime and failed to win the highest honor praised by everyone. Later, his health collapsed and research became too difficult, but he never completely let go. This technology may be a semi-finished product that he tended to succeed during his lifetime. Bar.In this case, why not let future generations fulfill his unfulfilled wish?
Moreover, James is his beloved disciple and has high professional ability. It is more trustworthy to leave it to him than to anyone else.

In the end, Mrs. Thomas was persuaded by James and allowed him to take the USB flash drive for research.

As a witness, Lu Zhou watched all this quietly, smiling and saying nothing.
