Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Luo Qi looked at the sea in Coronado Bay again.

"Ott has created many sub-AIs, which are not only her means of attack, but also an efficient learning method for AI."

"Separately differentiate a kind of AI specialized in a certain job, in a state of 'connected and separated' from the ontology, and regularly transmit data to allow the ontology to obtain important deep learning training results, and in a certain part When encountering a devastating blow, it will not completely lose part of the main body, but will use the sub-AI as a sacrifice."

After summarizing the information he got from Felix, he simply relayed it to Johnny.

"And as long as there is previous experience, Otto can easily create more and stronger sub-AIs, and for her, what she loses is just a stronghold and supporting resources."

"So... you mean, she evolved in this 'schizophrenic' way over the past half a century?"

Johnny thought that sounded a little too... far from human.

"You are right to say that, because the biggest difference between AI and humans is how to define 'consciousness'."

Roach throws up a classic scientific conundrum, but doesn't plan to discuss it in depth.

"If human consciousness is a whole, then AI's 'consciousness' is a larger whole composed of countless wholes, which is the 'database' architecture on which they operate."

"But...are they never going to be wiped out?"

Johnny couldn't help but associate this description with bee colonies.

That being the case, isn't it true that humans have almost no chance of winning in the face of AI?

"Still will."

Luo Qi nodded and said, "No matter how huge the AI ​​cluster is, it always has a core dominant program, which relies on the most primitive set of logic processing codes. As long as this body is destroyed, no matter how huge the AI ​​is, it will disappear and collapse in an instant. Collapse...unless it makes plans for such an emergency, such as 'independent and liberating' all sub-AI modules."

What about Ott?

Sure enough, Luo Qi saw such an expression on Johnny's face.

"Otto is naturally the same. Her personality consciousness, that is, the consciousness that was originally uploaded to the cyberspace by the soul killer, still exists."

Luo Qi summed up the knowledge he had learned from many Internet masters, answered Johnny's questions, and also answered his own doubts.

"It's just because of the decline in the proportion that it has little impact on the current 'Otto'... However, if you think about it the other way around, it means that her purity as a wandering AI is constantly improving."

"She wouldn't want to be a machine head."

Johnny has no hesitation in negating this tendency for Otto.

"Who knows, but maybe one day in the future, maybe you will have the opportunity to ask Ott himself."

Luo Qi showed a mysterious smile, "That's right, I'm talking about Otto himself, not AI Otto."

Then he saw Johnny's glasses widen, and then he grabbed one of his arms and asked vigorously.

"You're not kidding, are you!?"

"If you could relax a little bit, I could tell you—yes."

Luo Qi patted his shoulder and rubbed his face.

He wanted to draw a conclusion from the judgments he got from T-Bug, Knicks, Paul, Xiaoyao, and Felix.

They respectively represent independent hackers, future hackers, terrorist mobile team hackers, Japanese street hackers and network monitoring forces.

Whether it is the growth environment or the learning content, whether it is the experience or what you have seen and heard, they are all very different.

They have no reason to come to a consistent judgment—

Unless this outcome is the most probable from all angles.

That is, there is no way for AI to break away from the theoretical framework of human computer science and develop abilities beyond the scope of understanding.

Omnics don't exist, and consciousness awakening doesn't exist either.

The reason Otto can be so agile and lifelike is because her core, the personality consciousness, comes from a [-]% human being.

One of the reasons why wandering AIs are feared by people is because of their indescribable form to humans.

Different from the logic of humans or even creatures, the words and deeds reveal strange and incomprehensible abruptness everywhere, but from the pure code level, it is the most reasonable output.

Roaming AIs almost never try to communicate with humans, because after calculations, rogue AIs can only achieve the "best" development when they are uncontrolled and free.

This "good" is naturally for the wandering AI.

For wandering AIs, their original core and the data used for growth determine the final AI's very different styles.

For example, those AIs born out of business simulations put the results of benefit calculations in the main position among many judgment bases.

And those AIs designed for war purposes may still regard "destroying the enemy" and "protecting friendly forces" as extremely high-priority goals until they develop into a huge swarm.

As for Otto...

She's smart, too smart to be a wandering AI.

The words were spoken by Felix himself.

For roving AIs, their powerful computing power and huge databases allow them to have abilities unimaginable to humans, but they have always been difficult to associate with the word "smart".

Objects that lack subjective initiative must face the problem of insufficient creativity.

But Ott is not a pure AI.

It used to be the consciousness of a top software designer named Ott Cunningham.

That's what's trickiest.

Luo Qi once asked Felix whether there is a similar situation in Europe——

The data consciousness of human beings eventually became the real evil boss.

The answer is, very little.

Outside the black wall is the fallen deep net. Its unique historical legacy makes it difficult for this situation to happen.

The collapse of the deep web began with the pervasive Batemos virus, multiple vicious viruses including RABIDS, destroyed most of the network ecology, and released uncontrolled AI.

The main reason is that it destroys the key logic tables that they depend on for stability.

Power failure, server shutdown, data congestion, machine error, virus infection...

This chain reaction-like collapse quickly swept through the entire old network and made everything irreparable.

The consciousness of countless cyberwalkers was trapped in the cyberspace, and they failed to return to their brains until their bodies lost their functions.

And their consciousness became the first batch of nourishment for those extremely aggressive chaotic AI.

Without the assistance of equipment, the human consciousness body is completely unable to fight against an opponent of this size, and soon completely disappeared on the Internet, becoming the first victims outside the black wall.

In such an absolutely crushing situation, Ott became one of the most powerful wandering AIs in the surrounding areas of Night City in 2077. This makes people wonder what happened in the cyberspace back then .

Johnny was right, Ott was a genius.

Obviously, she wrote a lot of programs with the limited resources at hand.

After the nuclear explosion of the Arasaka Tower in 2023, she lost her body for a full ten years, and at the same time escaped from the Arasaka database, she was able to liberate those conscious bodies who were also trapped in the Arasaka Soul Prison by the soul killers. Fei's external help, but it did prove Ott's extraordinary.

If you guessed right, the hacking module that Johnny physically connected to Saburo Arasaka's office played a key role.

And all the operations that happened that year, after decades of ups and downs, were finally mapped to the present, becoming every bit of force that affects 2077.

For Ott, this may be contradictory.

While seeking a higher level of technology, she always aims to break through the black wall, while seeking cooperation from Luo Qi and Johnny, while posing a serious threat to the safety of Night City.

But in fact, for the wandering AI, this is nothing more than a simple choice of interests.

For it, what course of action is the most beneficial?

Not hesitating, but starting all the work in full swing without any connection.

Even if this kind of work will affect the mood and trust of "partners".

But now, Luo Qi felt that his side had finally begun to occupy a more active position.

"You can think that what they say is not necessarily true, but you have no evidence and reason to judge that this conclusion is wrong."

Roach said.

All the master hackers he knows have the same or similar views——

If there is an AI subject that evolves on the basis of the personality consciousness, then no matter how large the AI ​​is, it will always have a core that "contains the original data form".

Simply put, it is "Little Otto".

That one was closest to what Johnny wanted, Ott Cunningham.

It's from 2013, not some 2077 or 2045 version of "Beautiful Bitches".

When the volume of AI becomes larger and larger, the data functions of each part will become more and more differentiated, which is a stage similar to the growth and development of organisms.

It can be seen that Ott does not completely follow the logic of AI to do things.

In this case, generally speaking, there are only two——

First, Ott transformed himself into a new self that is "plausible" and "yes, but not quite" by modifying the data.

The second is the original version of Auto, which always exists as a "decision-making core", wrapped in a thick AI data flow, and controls this huge "body".

Either way, Alt has not completely disappeared.

In other words, what Johnny insists on is not a fantasy.

Strictly speaking, Otto may no longer be the pure Otto, but for Johnny, even finding a fragment of Otto is meaningful.

Moreover.

Even if it doesn't make sense, with Johnny's temperament, he will persist.

He is not the kind of man who stalks and stalks, on the contrary, his character of leaving as soon as he says it, is really a bit too "open-minded".

If he and Ott thoroughly explained their attitude and made their position clear, but the other party refused to accept it, and repeatedly failed.

Maybe Johnny will really decide to give it all up and start a new life of his own.

A new life in every sense.

But Luo Qi is sure that the Johnny in that situation is not called the new Johnny, but the lovelorn Johnny.

He and Ott broke up, that's all.

It sounds outrageous, and at the same time, it is so stubborn that it makes people laugh and cry.

From this perspective of stalking and wishful thinking, he is indeed not a bad person.

But now Johnny not only has no plans to break up, but also plans to get the real Ott back.

The reason is simple.

In Johnny's view, Otto has not changed, but has been "kidnapped" by the wandering AI.

As long as she can awaken her true "self" consciousness, then the happy ending may be tomorrow.

Moreover, what is definitely worth celebrating is that his thinking is not self-deception——

The real Ultra, or a part of Ultra's consciousness, may really be hiding somewhere in the world.

Chapter 540 Second Her Story

"Get up and go to work."

In a daze, Luo Qi felt that there were hands shaking him, but in the end he still couldn't get up, but lay down in the quilt lazily, feeling weak all over.

"Happy, I want to sleep..."

Talked to Johnny late last night.

He actually didn't know much about the development of technology in 2077. Even if it was the technology back then, even if he had a girlfriend who was a computer expert, Johnny's thoughts were mainly focused on building a band and fighting against the company.

But now that Ott Cunningham has become a powerful roaming AI, he has to start learning about it.

It's just that Johnny's lack of knowledge in this area is like a student who has been absent from class for three years and will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and he can't make up for it.

So Luo Qi passed on to Johnny the book that T-Bug recommended to him a long time ago, which is a cute new entry.

electronic version.

After he reads this thing, he won't be like a kid in "One Hundred Thousand Whys", or a goose like "Abaa, Baba, Baba".

Even so, it was almost dawn.

So when the exhausted Luo Qi came home, Suzi and Melissa were already asleep.
