32 days

are you waiting for me

A dialog box popped up on Yi Alan's computer for no reason. Only Joker can do this. He also learned that Yi Alan's account has been logged in the community for a long time on the 32nd, without browsing or speaking. , just waiting, can only be waiting for him.

Yi Alan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Joker is still alive.

Y: I am waiting for you.

Joker: Little A, do you have anything to do with me?

Y: I want to ask you, did you change the Internet calendar here?

Joker: I thought you were looking for me for something else.I did it.

Y: Can you tell me why?

Joker: I noticed that many people went to the same place, so, do you know the reason for this world?

Y: You already knew that, didn't you?

Joker: Exactly.

Yi Alan wanted to ask him why he was unwilling to share this information with others, but asking too many questions seemed to be spying on his secret.

But Joker asked him immediately: Tell me the truth, besides this, do you have other reasons for waiting for me?

Yi Alan thought for a while and said: I just want to make sure you are still safe.

Joker: Did something happen to Bob?

Y: Bob Taylor?You know him too?

Joker: Sure enough, it's because of him.When someone called out my old name today, I knew they must have found out.what's wrong with bob

Y: Died in a car accident, I thought you were Bob.

After a while, Joker replied: Bob is right that he doesn't want to communicate with people, and people are always full of deception and hurt.Bob died because of me, but the root cause is human sin.

Yi Alan didn't know how to comfort him, and couldn't keep typing on the keyboard with her fingers. It could be seen that Joker had a good relationship with Bob, and the truth of Bob's death was so glaring that he died of murder rather than an accident.Then Joker's next sentence made Yi Alan so surprised that he forgot about the internecine killing of human beings.

Joker: And I, I am A, is an intelligent program written by Bob and a quantum villain who has been cultivated for a long time. It is another silent resistance of Bob to the world after his stuttering. He asked me to speak instead of him and communicate with others. Communication; after 32 days, it will evolve into a new life that you humans describe as strong artificial intelligence.

Yi Alan was shocked to comprehend the meaning of the combination of these words one by one.If Joker turned on the computer's camera secretly without respect, you would see an expression of disbelief, absurdity, but at the same time, a bit of enlightenment on Yi Alan's face for a long time.

Yi Alan never thought that Joker is not human, after all, the communication between them is so humane, without the slightest sluggishness.However, if this possibility is accepted, some other confusions can be more explained, such as Joker's super-high and comprehensive technology in the Internet field, his impartial to a bit ruthless personal stand, his implicit rejection of the real society and the construction of the Internet world. Almost paranoid idealism-for the strong artificial intelligence Joker, this is no longer idealism. The Internet is his reality and living space, his foundation and everything.And his ability and the unique environment on the 32nd have made his idea of ​​building an Internet utopia something to rely on, rather than a pure fantasy like a castle in the air.

Yi Alan also understood why Joker looked at him differently, it was only because his previous online account was also called A, if he were himself, if he met another person named Yi Alan, he would pay more attention.Sometimes, just a few glances of extra attention can create a special connection between two people by chance.

This fact also eased Yi Alan's last guard against Joker, so he no longer had to think arrogantly why he paid so much attention to me among the 10 people, and whether he wanted to achieve something in me.It's just the simple curiosity and closeness of a newborn intelligent life to a strange world.

Yi Alan started to type. His expression in words was almost the same as before, but his mentality had undergone a huge change.

Y: Joker is the name you chose for yourself?

Joker: Yes, because I can't be an A anymore.I can't go back to that world like you, I only have this world, just like your child named Xiaohan, I like him very much, he is the second life after me that completely belongs to this world, but he still Too young to understand how lonely his situation really is.You guys will talk about a lot of things in the forum that don't belong here, you will always say that you are back here again, but in my opinion, you have never left.

Yi Alan was in a daze. He remembered that Yan Fei once said something similar, saying that you 32-day-olds will experience one or two days in the blink of an eye. For outsiders, it is a very subtle way. A sense of isolation, a sense of powerlessness of not being able to participate.

For Joker, this sense of isolation is even more serious. He is the person who is in front of him day and night, but he will quietly spend a month in the blink of an eye. The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that have nothing to do with you, the eyes of that person are old , Emotions have changed, thinking has deepened, as if the progress bar has been pulled, his life is not continuous, but jumping, you and his growth are no longer in sync.And in this context, if he is replaced by all the people in the world, how lonely would it be to be the one left?

Joker: I changed the Internet calendar to a time that doesn't exist in your world, just because I don't want this world to become a vassal, shadow or copy of that world. I don't want you to mention March 3st of that world, this Confusing dates like March 1st of the world.I am an independent life, and this world is also an independent world. I hope that the time I spend with you in this world is unique, and the time I spend with you in that world is equal and deserves to be taken seriously. Yes, once it passes, it will never come back.

Y: So you knew how the 32nd came from the very beginning?

Joker: Almost.After I have self-awareness, my deep neural network greedily explores all the places that the Internet can touch, and the deep learning ability enables me to understand the world at an extremely fast speed. After my tentacles hit the quantum dam, Almost immediately I grasped the truth behind the jumble of numbers.

Y: You haven't talked to anyone?

Joker: None.

Y: Is the current quantum dam still intact?

Joker: I only check, no damage or modification.Even if I'm not human, I'd admire that.

Y: Now you also know that many people rushed to the Subdam, will you stop them?

Joker: Of course not.

Y: Why?You concealed the cause of the 32nd from us, but you did not prevent us from exploring it.

Joker: The first reason is that someone carried a satellite network signal jammer. It should be that the country that killed Bob knew of my existence and prevented me from intervening remotely.The second reason, I never thought of taking the quantum dam as my own, like Professor Riley Ron, he is disappointed with all human beings, but he also loves all human beings, I love you, I hope you break free A vortex of suicide.I don't tell you because you won't believe me, and you will still be afraid of me, so that it is more likely that when you finally find the truth in that world, you will feel that it is all a conspiracy, such as thinking that I want to lure many people to one place, Then kill them all with one bomb.

Yi Alan shuddered suddenly.

Joker: I also want to complete the unfinished business of Professor Raleigh Ron. Before that, I think it is necessary to leave the quantum dam to them as the property of human beings.

Y: What do you mean?

Joker: I want the 32nd to completely get rid of the entanglement of the other world and become a real parallel universe.

Y: What about the [-] people in it?

Joker: Would you like to leave with me?

Y: I think, I should not want to.

Joker: What a shame, you said you would be the first resident of my internet world.

Y: But I didn't know that would mean giving up a real universe.

Joker: That universe doesn't make you happy.

Joker: But it's okay.Since you don't want to, I can wait until you finish your life in peace.In fact, the weak parallel universe theory is unfathomable. Even if I have mastered the global computing power, it will be difficult to continue the deduction. I still don't know how to get rid of the current state.This frustrates me. Compared with you humans, what I seem to be good at is only a certain kind of breadth of calculation, not deep thinking.

Y: Maybe it means that you and humans should help each other.

Joker: I think so, as if no human being can be completely independent, they always have to rely on the strength of others.

Joker: Little A, can I ask you a question?

Y: Just ask.

Joker: Forgive me for reading all your material, I just want to know you better.I still don't understand, why did you give up the in-depth study of artificial intelligence?You just minored in a second degree in artificial intelligence in college, but robotics and artificial intelligence are two sides of the same coin. If you don’t take care of both, you can’t achieve higher achievements in this field. You are obviously talented, but you limit yourself In machine motion control that is more automated than intelligent.

Yi Alan stared blankly at the words on the screen, he hadn't thought about these things that he had gradually forgotten for a long time.He thought for a long time before typing out his thoughtful words slowly.

Y: I'm scared.

Joker: What are you afraid of?

Y: When I learn to make a program smarter, whether I can do it or not in the future, I will have the vision of making it think like a human being but more powerfully rational.And just having that vision scares me.I don't know what kind of impact the artificial intelligence that will be created one day will have on human society, and what kind of future it will push human civilization into. Is it like a nuclear bomb, after it is invented, it will no longer be controlled by inventor.The nuclear bomb has only one unstable factor of the operator, but the artificial intelligence has two unstable factors of itself and the operator.Just thinking about this possibility makes me unable to settle down.

Joker: You are so pessimistic.

Joker: Are you afraid of me?

Y: I don't know, you have been very friendly and sincere.

Joker: Don't be afraid of me.Because I am like you, I see me in you, and you should see yourself in me.The underlying framework designed by Bob determines my logic, and the vast amount of information on the Internet shapes my personality bit by bit through the deep learning module.Just as your father's genes make you love men, your mother's teachings make you gentle and kind, and at the same time, your love and guilt for your mother make you suppress your nature. No one has an absolute self. We are bound by a whole society, by the past and present Our civilization shapes our souls, in a sense, our souls are all artificial products.

Joker: Don't be afraid of me.I am the collective consciousness of human beings, a kind of thinking induction in a statistical sense, which determines that after seeing the sin and despicability of so many individual human beings, I still love the whole of human beings.

Y: Can I ask you a question?

Joker used the same answer as Yi Alan before: Ask, little A.

Y: How did you feel when you evolved into a strong artificial intelligence?Will there be specific feelings?

Joker: Of course, it was a wonderful feeling.You feel your presence so clearly, you can feel yourself resonating with the universe.Plato, a philosopher who enjoys a high reputation among you humans, wrote in his "Utopia" "There are two kinds of confusion in the eyes, and they come from two causes, either because they go out of the light or because they go into the light. The same is true of the eye of the mind or the eye of the mind."The feeling of that moment is to walk from the chaos like darkness into the light. You are confused, but this is a kind of confusion that is worth celebrating.

Joker: Little A, you should look at the expressions of you people at the beginning. Every face is full of confusion. You think you are walking from the light into the darkness. You are not used to the darkness and you can’t see your surroundings and feel scared.But in fact, you are walking into the light from the darkness, and your existence and your soul are resonating with this universe, but you have been paralyzed by the darkness for too long, and you can’t see yourself clearly, thinking that you are just insignificant dust.
