Chapter 240: The machine's life and death choice

Aoki wondered: "But you just said that if a machine has intelligence, it will be hidden from humans. Then how can the local area network interfere with the answers of the chat robots on its terminal computers?" ..

Mei Yiqiu said with a smile: "Of course a mosquito can't wake a person pretending to be asleep, but if three thousand mosquitoes buzz in your ears and bite you from time to time, you can still sleep. ?"

Aoki nodded, and finally understood that this test was not so much a Turing test as it was a game. Three thousand people are constantly inputting information into the terminal in the LAN for a purpose. In the case of a disconnection, if the LAN really has wisdom, it is very likely to show their feet.

"However, if the final test result is not abnormal, or the abnormal value is small, you can't prove that the LAN is not smart, right?"

"You're right, so this is only part of the whole test." Mei Yiqiu smiled at Aoki, then turned to Mei Ziqing, "It's time to start, disconnect the Internet cafe."

"Okay, professor." Mei Ziqing went out after speaking, and came back after a few minutes. "Professor, the external network has been disconnected, but all wireless signals cannot be blocked."

"Has the mobile phone been confiscated?"

"All confiscated."

"Excellent." Mei Yi begged Mei Ziqing to work, and then explained to Aoki, "The whole test is actually divided into three parts. What we just said is that one of them seems to be the largest, but I have the least hope. one of."

The professor took a hard breath of cigarette, spit it out, and inhaled half of it unconsciously. The smoke that half sucked back seemed to be dissolved by his lungs, and he didn't know where it went.

"Before doing the whole test, one of our most important steps is to let the Internet pay attention to the existence of our local area network, so as to transmit or split consciousness. This step is very important. If there is no such step, the subsequent tests will be It's not true at all."

"How to pay attention?"

"It's very simple. Spread some things it cares about from here. When recruiting these students to be volunteers, they didn't know what they were going to do in the end. Before the instruction, they would not know what to do next. But we gave them a lot of hints. Nowadays young people are very strange, even if the things you express clearly, even if they are invaluable, he may not be interested. But the things you hinted Even if there is nothing, it will arouse their interest. With the imagination of young people, you don’t know what this hint will turn into, and the more such a specious thing, the easier it is to attract the attention of interested people."

"What the **** does it imply?" Aoki knew that the man with a heart that the professor said was referring to the Internet.

The professor smiled and said, "You think, if our previous guesses are all true, what is the Internet guy's most concerned about?"

Aoki thought for a while and said, "Chips, artificial intelligence, aliens...what else?"

The professor said: "Yes, if you put what you said together, the hint we gave to the students is that a new technology to subvert the Internet is being experimented here. Once it succeeds, the Internet will no longer exist."

"This is too fake, isn't it?"

"No, it's not all fake. From the perspective of this alien invasion, consciousness can exist independently. If humans interact directly through consciousness instead of physical channels, then the Internet may indeed be eliminated."

"Professor, are you talking about the space box and dream guide game you are developing?"

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "This is still far away, let alone this, let's talk about the current experiment. You should not underestimate the creativity of young people and the energy of spreading information. During the week of networking, we do not prohibit They do anything, in addition to importing more natural network data, they also want to use the children to spread the news. They discuss, guess and exaggerate the facts through emails, Weibo, chat and forums. They have very rich imagination and some ideas. I didn't even think of it. If the Internet had consciousness, these things would have attracted his attention."

"As long as he pays attention to this, like an octopus's arms and legs stretched in, our local area network will become a branch of his, a nerve cord, or an important nerve center. Since he can pass a small The chip enters the second consciousness into humans, and it will definitely inject a consciousness into this local area network. This is the premise. With this premise, we can complete the Turing test just mentioned."

"Understood, gaining consciousness, plus the Turing test process mentioned earlier, there are already two parts, but this is not enough to test whether this LAN has wisdom?" Aoki said.

"No, no, that's just a premise, it's the major premise of the entire test, not a separate test part." Mei Yiqiu said, "The Turing test of three thousand people is only the first part, and the second part is the survival pressure. test."

"Survival stress test?"

"To put it bluntly, it is a choice between life and death. If the Internet has wisdom, it must be unwilling to expose itself, even at the expense of countless LANs. But when the Internet is disconnected, the consciousness in this LAN cannot interact with the outside world. Contact, then will it sacrifice itself in order to hide its awareness of the Internet? This is hard to say!"

"We have installed a virus program on the server in advance. Once it is started, it will destroy the entire local area network. It will not only destroy the system software, but also invade the hardware system and make all the chips useless. The only way to start this program is one on the desktop. A small program for uploading Turing test results."

"After the Turing test is over, everyone has to open this small program and enter the test results in it. When he believes that the computer or software being tested has artificial intelligence, he enters 0, and vice versa. When the number of 0 inputs is low At 30% of the total, the virus program will start. In other words, there must be at least 900 people who think that the test object has artificial intelligence, the virus will not start, otherwise the local area network will be completely destroyed. It is not paralyzed. , It's ruined, it's death!"

"Self-preservation is the instinct of any intelligent creature. If the local area network has wisdom and consciousness, it must not want to die. If it wants to protect itself, it can't let the virus start." Mei Yiqiu paused when she said this and took a sip Yan, then smiled and asked Aoki, "Do you think it has any way to stop the virus from starting?"

Aoki shook his head and said that he didn't know ~lightnovelpub.net~ He was the most annoyed of this kind of thinking. He couldn't think about his own affairs clearly, and he had to think about the problem from the perspective of a machine, so he didn't want to suffer this sin. .

At this time, Mei Ziqing has returned. She said: "The easiest way is to make the result of 0 greater than 30%, but then the Turing test will pass, which can prove that the LAN is smart. More directly, it can secretly kill the virus. If the program is deleted or modified, if it has consciousness, it should have this ability. But this will expose its wisdom even more."

Mei Yiqiu nodded and said, "Well, that's about it. There are more concealed methods, such as modifying the desktop program so that the input results and statistical results do not match, etc., but we can all monitor these."

Aoki smiled and said, "Professor, this is an exhaustive strategy! No matter what it does, as long as the virus is not activated, it can prove that it is smart. This step is perfect, so what is the third step?"

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "The third step, I have to ask my brother for your help!"

Aoki wondered: "What can I do?"

Mei Yiqiu said: "Once it is proved that the LAN has consciousness, we will immediately start a set of procedures to let the entire network undergo an overload stress test, which is equivalent to letting it run a marathon. When it gets tired, then cut off the server and all terminals. Contact, put the system into sleep state."

"You mean..." Aoki suddenly understood, "Let it dream?"
