Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Whether good or evil.

Although Luo Qi likes the image of Delaman, he is still just an AI, and all "consciousness" comes from codes, not real-world substances.

But human sensibility and empathy will give these things a vivid look and feel, even if they only exist in personal perception, not reality.

It took Luo Qi a lot of determination to get rid of this kind of emotion that interferes with judgment.

This is very difficult, after all, he is also a human being, and it is impossible to have no feelings.

Just for everyone, the necessary cruelty is absolute——

He will never allow such a hidden danger that can lead to disaster to exist.

The last time a virus leaked from outside the black wall killed many data terminal users, Luo Qi still remembers it vividly.

Because that was the closest he was to the existence outside the black wall, at least before today.

The dangers of out-of-control AI need no elaboration.

AI does not possess true consciousness as described in the third-rate science fiction works of the last century.

They are just a mass of ever-expanding giant data bodies, which are performing activities according to the rules and logic of the code in constant iteration and evolution.

But that's also a good thing.

At least Luo Qi doesn't have to worry about whether these incomprehensible and weird things need to be considered morally.

Consider what a fart!

All the black walls are so precarious and imminent, why are we talking about AI consciousness here?

When Luo Qi saw Johnny just came out, he was moved by Ott's voice and smile, which was called a self-moving.

Touch your mother! !

I used Arasaka's AI to pinch an Ultra, and I could even chat and laugh with you, settle the suspicion and live a happy life from now on.

But that's all tech tricks the company is good at.

Although relic 1.0 is expensive, it is also much cheaper than luxury cars. If you borrow some money from Kerry, you will be a lively Alt in minutes.

But is it interesting to lie to yourself with a bunch of data! ?

Luo Qi had never felt so angry like today. The angry voice came out of the room, and the expressions of the passing team members were a little stiff in fright.

Because it was simply roaring, the anger was beyond words, and it almost demolished the concierge.

Fortunately, anger comes and goes quickly.

In Night City, this was the first time he lost his composure.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because of Johnny that he feels worthless, hates iron, and feels heartbroken.

"You are being played around by a data body that is not Ultra, do you know Johnny?"

Rocky sat on the floor next to Johnny, panting.

"The kind of emotions we have, about the past, about the bright future, about vision and expectations. Your loss, your guilt, your passion, your anger, your impassioned, your feelings and Relief, everything is regarded as the result of calculation."

"I don't want you to wait until one day, in the persistence that never answers, you will face the despair of reality and admit that everything is just your wishful thinking."

Luo Qi sighed, and had no strength to curse.

Ott is a drop of ink diluted into a cup. Although the traces left by the ink can still be seen, with a seemingly dense black imprint, it is water instead of ink.

What Johnny is looking for is the pure Ultra, not this AI with an empty Ultra shell.

He hates it.

The chaotic and obsessed soul was awakened by Luo Qi's almost violent beating, and Johnny's anger and heartache turned into an incomparable hatred for the wandering AI.

"Give me back Ott..."

Johnny's voice was almost forced out of his throat, though Rocky had no idea how he'd managed to do it with the speakers.

"Grass fucking Arasaka, grass fucking Soul Killer, grass fucking relic, grass fucking wandering AI."

He took a deep breath, and just like Luo Qi, he slumped on the ground weakly.

The two of them put their shoulders together and looked at the front together, looking at each other silently.

They were never the kind of superficial relationship that would be separated by loud arguments.

It is this intense and sincere emotion that allows them to have a firm friendship that spans worlds, time and space, and even forms of existence.

Johnny who exists in relic, and Luo Qi who does not belong to this world, this is the real communication between two "human" souls that transcends everything.

Fleeing AI?

That's a post.

After a long silence, Johnny spoke first.

"I'm not reconciled, is there any way to save Ott?"

Johnny looked at Luo Qi and asked.

"Otto is not a princess kidnapped by a dragon, where can I find you Otto with a full beard and tail."

Rocky said helplessly.

"Unless there is a way to screen and strip Otto's consciousness body, and then use the same technology to make a relic chip, and then make a mechanical can like you did."

"..."

Johnny fell into thought when he heard this.

Not bad?

Although it doesn't sound very happy, if both he and Otto can live in this form, it's not too bad.

As for whether we can use cloning technology or other black technologies to live as "humans" again in the future, let's think about it later.

"Can it be done?"

After experiencing what happened just now, Johnny began to re-examine everything in cyberspace.

In the year 2023 he exists, although cyber technology has emerged, it is far from as developed as it is today, so some concepts and thinking angles are still stuck in the past.

"It's hard."

Luo Qi spread his hands, "I'm not good at this aspect, and a wandering AI is honestly very difficult to catch, even network surveillance doesn't have such confidence."

As a professional network technology company, Network Monitoring has not conducted relevant research.

"I can attest that Internet surveillance was tried and failed so many times that the project was shelved."

Paul said.

He invaded and controlled the server of the network monitoring, and naturally knew what the network monitoring had done.

At the same time, Luo Qi's attitude towards AI also alerted him——

Cyberspace is indeed extremely wonderful, but its existence must also depend on reality.

The destructiveness of wandering AI will affect the real world from cyberspace, killing countless people.

There are so many lessons from the past that it doesn't even need an example.

There's a black wall in Night City, but what about the rest of it?

People either choose not to build large networks that can be targets, or they use small local area networks that are not easily noticed.

Not only logistics, but also the transmission of information has different resistance in this era.

Network security, in the modern history of mankind, has never been so valued as it is now.

Fleeing AI is not the only problem left by the deep net, but it is indeed a terrible trouble.

"The volume of floating AI is generally very large. Although it is a whole, the form of existence can be very loose."

Paul waved his hands and feet and explained.

"Their existence depends on the connection between data and data, which is somewhat similar to the complex synaptic connection between biological brain cells."

Paul tries to present the principles in simple terms.

"But unlike living things, their data is missing. As long as it does not cause damage to key mechanisms, it is harmless and can be self-repaired and corrected...Of course, this also depends on the specific AI code."

In this regard, he also mentioned a somewhat terrifying biological experiment——

If the connections between parts of the brain are disrupted, such as during anesthesia and deep sleep, consciousness is diminished or even lost.

Because this wholeness of consciousness arises from the many interactions between the various parts of the brain.

To put it simply, as long as the core torso is not damaged, the loss and change of peripheral consciousness will not lead to the collapse of the conscious body, but will only lead to deviations in memory or personality.

But too little or too much damage is not enough to maintain a complete consciousness.

For example.

A normal human being is a core skeleton + personalized flesh and blood, a complete person pieced together, with its own life experience and personality.

The current Auto is the core skeleton + personalized flesh and blood (very small proportion) + AI's steel and iron skeleton (very large proportion), and it is also the digital version of his cat.

To strip out Otto's conscious body from such a huge AI requires a network "surgery" with an astronomical unit-level workload.

And the premise is to catch it.

The countermeasures of network surveillance against rogue AIs are actually designed based on this principle.

Determine where the AI's current equipment is, and then EMP saturation attack.

Even if there is no way to kill all the distributed existence in the network, as long as part of the torso can be blown up, then although this AI is "immortal", it will never return to its previous state, and it will even lose its "consciousness" directly.

Regress AI back to chaotic, unordered invalid data.

At the moment of being killed, the huge corpse will dissipate like a rotting giant in an instant.

This is what Rocky wants to see, but not what Johnny wants to happen to "Ott".

"Do you think AI is really conscious?"

Luo Qi looked at Paul's expression and asked.

"It depends on how you define it."

When Paul saw someone asking for his opinion, he immediately started chattering.

"A complete consciousness must be a single, integrated entity with a multitude of distinguishable states—this is the very definition of information."

"For a system to have a high level of consciousness, its components must be specialized and fully integrated. That is, the parts work better together than individually. Certain parts of our brain Parts, such as the cerebral cortex, have a large number of connections between neurons, and this level is quite high, so it can undertake such complex consciousness activities."

"What about the AI?"

"They also have complex core logic," Roach said.

"That's right, this is exactly the part about so-called 'consciousness'."

Paul stretched out his index finger, nodded and said.

"In my opinion, there are at least two types of consciousness—one is perceptual consciousness, which refers to things like experience, feeling, and experience, and is passive consciousness. The second is conscious consciousness, which is the conscious subject's... subjective initiative, which is active of!"

Subjective initiative?

This Luo Qi is familiar!

"Subjectivity, also known as conscious agency, is a philosophical concept."

"One is that people can actively understand the objective world, and the other is that under the guidance of knowledge, they can actively transform the objective world. Unifying the two on the basis of practice shows the subjective initiative that distinguishes people from things."

"To put it simply, you can actively know what a thing is, and then take the initiative to do something after knowing what it is, and affect reality, but those lifeless things don't have this ability."

Paul nodded: "That's right, that's what it means!"

"I didn't understand what you said just now, but I understood this sentence."

Johnny said like a big "Zhang Yu".

"So the AI...?"

Rocky asked.

"They have no subjective initiative, because their so-called subjectivity comes from the core logic code."

Paul said, "That is, there is only perceptual awareness, not conscious awareness."

"understood."
