Episode 369

The gold medal commentator continued to talk: "The brain in the tank is often cited for some philosophical concepts, and Fu Shichun's idealism is no exception. Fu Shichun's idealism is an extension of the brain in the tank. He believes that any matter can be described by information. The entire universe It is also a large collection of information. At least the earth science and technology tree cannot falsify the universe in our eyes. Perhaps it is just a bunch of information data similar to online games."

"Assuming that humans are left with only a normal thinking brain, or if they deny the material properties of the brain to the extreme, they regard the thinking brain as a bunch of artificial intelligence programs. You might argue that any artificial intelligence program also requires a hard disk and a processor. Fu Shichun’s idealism is relative idealism. If the brain is a group of artificial intelligence programs and the entire universe is also virtualized by a certain supercomputer, then this supercomputer no longer belongs to this universe. Before tracking this supercomputer, When we limit the scope of the small cage of the universe, consciousness must determine matter."

"The so-called consciousness of Fu Shichun's idealism is not so much consciousness as the collection of information. The set here is the collection of mathematical set theory, which was established by the German mathematician Kantor in the 1970s. Fu Shichun idealism believes that the universe may be A group of information logic collection, the brain may be just a group of information logic collection, the interaction between the brain and the outside world may also have and only information exchange. In this case, the so-called natural laws of the universe may be just that the brain passively receives some information and data. , Very similar to online game update information. If the human brain is a logical collection of information, the earth and the universe are also a logical collection of information. There is no matter in the entire universe, so where is the material first?"

"Fu Shichun also has a lot of research on the supercomputer outside the universe, and his supporters and opponents have launched many interesting philosophical speculations on this. However, I am not a graduate of the philosophy department, and I think everyone is not interested in philosophical speculation. , The deeper content, let’s leave it alone."

"Back to CR-18, Fu Shichun's idealism is its guiding ideology, and the logical paradox of the brain in a tank is its model."

"The brain in the tank is a logical paradox. If the supercomputer that simulates the universe is ignored and the brain in the tank is defaulted to be true for reasoning, this problem is unsolvable. Limited to the simulated universe, matter can never determine consciousness. Because that supercomputer is the true source of the universe. The Visual Reality Equipment Laboratory has no intention of entangled in whether the world is materialistic or ideal. They just want to simply create a supercomputer and simply simulate a universe."

"The three primary colors tell us that light has no color, but the eye has color. Light waves reach the retina and nerve signals reach the brain. Is it the transmission of information or the transmission of matter? From a detailed point of view, it must be the transmission of matter and the photosensitive pigment. The photochemical reaction determines the color that the eye sees. However, the brain's perception of color is not the direct interaction of light waves with the brain. From the photochemical reaction of the photosensitive pigment to the propagation of nerve signals, it can artificially interfere with the process of substance transmission and change the final information the brain receives."

"For example, by interfering with the photochemical reaction of the long cone cells, humans with normal trichromatic vision will instantly become red-green blind; for example, by interfering with the propagation of neural signals from the retina to the brain, color vision can also be instantly confused. Although countless literary works praise how perfect humans are But the cruel fact is that we humans are very fragile. Not only is the musculoskeletal structure inferior to steel and alloys, but the neural signal propagation and brain-level thinking that we are proud of are also very fragile, so fragile that there is no defense at all."

"Going back to CR-18, CR-18 is the supercomputer outside the universe, and the virtual world represented by virtual table tennis is the brain-in-tank virtual universe constructed by CR-18. Why does this table tennis ball in your hands feel It’s so real that it can’t be real. Why can you feel the texture and weight of a virtual ping pong ball on the back of your hand without electromagnetic signal patches? The reason is simple. This Internet cafe equipped with CR-18 is actually dotted with numerous stereo cameras. The interaction between you and the ping-pong ball is then used to calculate the information data through the physical model, and then converted into brain electromagnetic signals and transmitted to your nervous system."

"In short, in addition to the information and data generated by the photochemical reaction of the retina, CR-18 transmits new information and data to the brain. The palm of the hand does not touch the virtual table tennis, but the CR-18 can simulate the palm of the hand touching the table tennis. The nerve signals from deceive your brain and make the brain misunderstand that it really touched a ping-pong ball."

It is the three primary colors, and it is idealism, and the gold medal commentator is tirelessly long-winded.

The principle of CR-18 is actually very simple, nothing more than input and output.

In the early days of the brain-computer fusion project, only brain electromagnetic signals could be read and analyzed and processed. Now the brain-computer fusion project team can simply and rudely input brain electromagnetic signals, neural signals and other information into the brain. CR-18 can input brain electromagnetic signals as well as output brain electromagnetic signals, nothing more. Electromagnetic signal patch is only auxiliary equipment, not key equipment. Even if there is no electromagnetic signal patch on the palm of the hand to collect information, CR-18 can intervene from other parts and output virtual signals that confuse the human brain.

The principle is simple, but the truth is frightening.

Although CR-18 is very primitive, it is the prototype of the brain in a jar paradox.

Assuming CR-18 continues to develop, Chunqiu Group has developed a visual reality device that can completely cut off the connection between the brain and the real world. Wouldn't it be possible for users to sink into the virtual world without knowing it? Imagine other dark scenes. Suppose a normal human armor is stunned and sent to the video reality device without his knowledge. The person behind the scenes operates the video reality device to edit various evil events in the virtual world and abuses the normal human armor, making it impossible to explain. The virtual story collapses the values ​​of normal human A. Then, quietly disarming the visual reality equipment, returning normal humans to the real world. Normal human A doesn't know that the experience of the virtual world is actually edited by virtual. After returning to reality, he red eyes and angrily rushes to the "enemies" for revenge, thus indirectly becoming a murder tool for the operators behind the scenes.

A little divergence of thinking and imagination of the magical effect of CR-18, the future will be chilling.

Of course, not everyone is so pessimistic.

Some people are optimistic about the future, such as researchers from the brain-computer fusion project group such as Wei Dongsheng and Ji Susu.

More people are too lazy to think about the dark picture, and simply think of CR-18 as an entertainment and leisure game.

It looks like a virtual online game type online novel lovers. The so-called virtual game helmets and virtual game cabins are actually more advanced virtual reality devices than CR-18. However, for these virtual online game novel lovers, several people have thought about virtual games in depth. The helmet-level science and technology has a huge impact on the entire society. How many people have thought deeply about the illegal application of virtual game helmet-level technology? If the virtual game world becomes a world of brains in a jar that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, what kind of ethics will be born in the future society?

Such discussions are rarely seen.

Online game novels cannot be blamed, because genre novels are genre novels after all, and the highlight and selling point are not the impact of virtual game helmet-level science and technology on the future society.

On the contrary, this kind of optimistic entertainment can offset the ethical and moral pressure of brain-computer research projects to the greatest extent.

If media public opinion guides the public not to think about the shadow behind CR-18 or belittle the disruptive impact of CR-18 series devices on society, the development of the brain-computer integration project is bound to be smoother, and there is no need to cause the cloned people panic like the cloned sheep Dolly. The achievement of cloned sheep Dolly, ruined the study of human cloning, such an ethical and moral tragedy, the brain-computer integration project team does not want to happen to itself.

Therefore, instead of criticizing the flimsy plot of virtual online game novels, Chunqiu Group has consciously encouraged the development of virtual online game novels. Virtual games Online games are limited by subject matter, and after a while, they become non-popular subjects. In order to achieve subtle publicity, Chunqiu Network cooperates with Chunqiu Literature to hold essay contests every once in a while, ignoring objective factors such as whether there is a market for virtual game online games and whether they can make money, and consciously encourage online novel authors to write down virtual game helmets for the future society Shocking positive energy works; Chunqiu Search also encourages a group of science fiction authors and online novel authors to create positive energy works that treat virtual reality devices with a compliment or neutral attitude in the name of imagining the future.

Chunqiu doesn't care whether these works can make money.

What Spring and Autumn wants is public opinion.

In other words, public opinion is anesthetized.

As long as public opinion plays down the moral and ethical crisis that may arise from the brain-computer integration project, Spring and Autumn will win.

Looking back on the past 2012, Spring and Autumn’s funding for literature was about 120 million yuan. Even if the virtual online game works have no market basis at all, 120 million yuan funding can support 120 middle-class writers with an average annual income of 1 million yuan. Spring and Autumn’s requirements for these authors are very simple. I don’t care whether to post money to lose money and operate. I only care about whether the work is positive energy, only whether the work can influence public opinion with rhythm. As long as the rhythm of public opinion is brought up, Chunqiu and these literary and artistic creators will be a win-win situation.

In addition, Chunqiu Group is planning Chunqiu Pictures.

With the development of Chunqiu Video, the development of life service e-commerce, and the wider and wider Chinese cultural market, the establishment of Chunqiu Films is a natural result. Wei Dongsheng didn't understand Huaguo film and television entertainment, and he didn't bother to spend his time studying the development prospects of Huaguo film and television, because he paid very little attention to Spring and Autumn Films. As long as Chunqiu Pictures is not bad enough to become a stain on Chunqiu Group, Wei Dongsheng will not bother to make drastic rectifications by himself.
