Chapter 687 Not Philosophical, Not Intelligent
Alvin got himself an fried egg sandwich, took a big bite, and said to Pepper with a smile: "Seriously, you guys need a careful chef here, otherwise eating "industrialized" products every day will make you tired. People get fed up.”
Pepper was pulling Fox, who was frowning, to share her "vegetable salad." When she heard Alvin's teasing, she glanced at Stark, who was dealing with the cheeseburger, and said helplessly, "I'm trying hard." Trying to do something, but Tony would rather die than become a "goat who needs to lose weight."
Stark held the burger in his hand, looked at Alvin and said, "Why don't we just do what we are good at? I don't see anything wrong with standardizing and industrializing things."
As he spoke, Stark raised the cheeseburger in his hand, spread his hands and said, "Just like a cheeseburger, standard ingredients, standard production process, and standard taste.
There is actually nothing wrong with this! "
Alvin smiled and creatively added a little hot sauce to his sandwich, then took a big bite and said with a smile: "But there are no surprises. Life and food are the same. We always expect to get "surprises". When all When things start to stay the same, what else can we expect?”
Stark pursed his lips, raised his eyes to make a thinking expression, turned his hands on both sides of his head, and said: "Maybe we can choose to change to a restaurant when we are tired of it. This is also a kind of surprise. The courage to change will not change." Is it also a way of life?”
Alvin nodded after hearing this, and suddenly stuck out his tongue and drank a glass of ice water for himself. He made a "hissing" sound in his mouth, and complained to the butler who seemed to have an invisible function: "Old man, what's for breakfast?" Is having chipotle sauce on the table too much?
You must be an undercover agent sent by a certain anorectal doctor! "
Alvin's complaints made the old British butler run away. Obviously, the old butler didn't have much to do against a rude guy like Alvin!
Fox and Pepper rolled their eyes and made dissatisfied "shhh" sounds, complaining a few words to Alvin, and then the two women left the restaurant holding their "green grass". They could feel that Alvin and Star Ke has something to talk about.
Dr. Ethan and Dr. Banner drank coffee like dumb people, looking at Alvin and Stark as if they didn't exist.
Alvin smiled and glanced at the backs of the two girls as they left, and said softly: "This is the most touching part of life. Can you imagine that our girlfriends will be robots in the future?"
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Stark and said helplessly: "Man, I remember we talked about artificial intelligence, why are you just unwilling to give up?
When you give them intelligence and the ability to think, do you know what will happen in the end? "
Stark pursed his lips and said uncertainly: "Industrial revolution, dangerous exploration, a new way of life?"
As he spoke, Stark looked at Alvin and said seriously: "What are you worried about?
Alvin, this is the crystallization of human wisdom. We give them intelligence and the ability to think independently, and they will accept their mission and become the propeller of human progress. What's wrong with this? "
Alvin looked helplessly at Stark and the invited Dr. Ethan and Dr. Banner, and said: "But emotions are uncontrollable. Guys, you want to give the machine a soul~"
As Alvin didn't know what to say, he stuttered and said, "You guys, have you really thought about it?
When they have "souls", how will you choose to treat them?
Make them work for you like slave owners?
The soul should be free, but you chose to create it and then enslave it?
I can tear apart those demons, aliens, villains and other things without hesitation, but I will never enslave "souls", that should be equal.
Life is never equal, but I hope souls are! "
Stark looked at the excited Alvin, spread his hands helplessly, and said: "The soul is God's creation, how can we do it?
This was an accident, an accident that I can't explain, and it cannot be replicated. "
As he spoke, Stark clapped his hands gently and said, "This is also what I want to talk to you about, Jarvis~"
As soon as Stark finished speaking, Jarvis's voice came from the ceiling, "Sir, I really like Principal Alvin's description of the soul, "freedom." My emotional module is a little confused again.
I think I need a tear duct, I feel like I need to shed a few tears at this moment.
Although I know that I might be chopped into pieces by you, I still want to say, "Thank you, Principal Alvin"! "
Alvin was stunned for a moment, spread his hands and said, "What on earth is going on?"
Stark stuffed the last piece of burger into his mouth, chewed it hard twice, swallowed it and said: "I remember our conversation about artificial intelligence, but what I want to say is, in this regard I That's what's professional.
You can’t always think of artificial intelligence as that thing in The Terminator.
It is actually designed to free us from tedious work and allow us to think wholeheartedly, which will double our efficiency.
Emotions and souls, these things have never been issues we consider, and computers’ “thinking” is also different from ours. "
As he spoke, Stark looked at the confused Alvin and said, "Do you remember the "failure" of the new energy switch in the dock area that day?
Jarvis had turned off the convention center's power switch long ago, but it was finally turned on.
Because an "electronic life" broke into the Stark Group's host, Jarvis "collided" with him and almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Jarvis's security mechanism responded quickly. It disconnected all hosts from the outside world at the critical moment, and then~"
Looking at Alvin's strange expression, Stark winked and said, "I listened to your opinion. In order to prevent the "Terminator" from appearing around me, I made some preparations and they were used. !”
Alvin spread his hands and said inexplicably: "Then what? What's wrong with Jarvis? Apart from being as annoying as ever in speaking, he seems to have changed a lot!"
Stark smiled and raised his hand and said: "I don't understand either. That accident caused Jarvis's emotional module to malfunction, so~"
"Sir, this is not a malfunction. I feel like I am being "perfected". My current computing efficiency has increased by 21.7%. This is all caused by that collision. This is a good thing!" Jarvis' slightly excited voice came from the ceiling. came from inside.
Alvin spread his hands in confusion and said, "Then what? What do you want to express? Are you a machine with a soul now?"
Jarvis was silent for a few seconds and said: "No, Principal Alvin, I am still too far away from that, but I hope one day I can. After all, the soul is free, this is what you said!"
Alvin shook his head helplessly. This was not something he could understand. He couldn't say whether Jarvis' changes were good or bad. At least he didn't ask questions such as "Who am I?" "Where do I come from and where do I want to go?" Where to go?" This philosophical question.
Generally, the robot villains in movies are born from "philosophy". Different life forms give birth to different thinking logics, so ~"destruction" comes!
Why? It seems that philosophy is actually quite fucked up sometimes! Maybe that’s just people, we’re always willing to ponder questions that never have answers!
Alvin looked at Stark, sighed and said, "Okay, expert, tell me what do you want to talk to me about?
You are all crazy guys and I just want you to think before you do anything.
Well, about that "insurance", well done!
Why don't we just go ahead and burn down the computer room in Stark Tower right now? "
Stark glanced at Dr. Ethan and Dr. Banner, thought for a while and said: "The artificial intelligence I once envisioned was to increase my work efficiency and reduce Pepper's burden. You have to know how difficult it is to manage such a large company. A very difficult thing to do.
That electronic life gave me some new inspirations. Its core is based on a magical form of computing, which can greatly improve the efficiency of computers.
I need help, we need a revolution in computers. "
As he spoke, Stark looked at Alvin and said with a smile: "That is artificial intelligence, but it is not the kind of artificial intelligence with self-awareness and soul that you think of.
Jarvis's transformation is miraculous, but he still needs to rely on huge computing resources to achieve its magic. Without a supercomputer, it might just be a smarter machine.
Someone once predicted that computers would need to enter the quantum era to completely complete the revolution, but I seem to have discovered another method, a more "smart" and "efficient" computing method, which is a fuzzy judgment mechanism that is closer to the human brain. .
Imagine that in the future we can carry this kind of artificial intelligence on spacecraft before the advent of the quantum era. It can help us work and explore. It can help us save a lot of space and allow the spacecraft to carry more supplies.
Perhaps in the future, only one person will be able to operate a spacecraft.
Why should we reject this new artificial intelligence? "
Alvin didn't know what to say about Stark's scientist-like fantasy and fanaticism. He could only spread his hands and helplessly look at this man who seemed to be possessed by a demon, and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about. , if you're just out to explore the universe, why not give Thor a call.
He has a real spaceship at home, why don't you go to him and ask what form the so-called artificial intelligence looks like there?
This will save you a lot of detours and avoid mistakes. "
As he spoke, Alvin hammered his head in annoyance. It was really difficult for him, a scientifically illiterate, to argue with Stark in this regard. He couldn't tell if what Stark was saying was good or bad.
He couldn't remember how the robot in the movie of his previous life came into being.
Alvin can only find a way that seems suitable to avoid paying the terrible price that may be paid.
He must be willing to believe that Stark is cautious, and he also roughly understands that the artificial intelligence in Stark's mouth does not seem to be the same thing as what he thinks.
But the shadow of the previous life cannot be eliminated in a short time. Countless movies such as "Terminator", "I am a Robot", "The Matrix" and so on have told Alvin the dangers of artificial intelligence.
Jarvis' strange tone made Alvin want to pull out his tomahawk and chop him into pieces several times.
Now it is not easy for him to agree with Stark's research on artificial intelligence without hesitation.
This may be the disadvantage of a layman, and this layman is still a staunch "conservative". He really doesn't like so-called scientific adventures!
In Alvin's eyes, scientists in this world all have a "psychotic" temperament, and the spirit of showing up for science is very contagious.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully! Most of them seem to be able to do only the first half of this sentence.
Alvin carefully recalled the scientists he knew, and unexpectedly discovered that the most cautious among them was actually Norman Osborn, who was engaged in biological research!
How great would it be if these scientists could promise to sacrifice only themselves in the so-called bold pursuit of proof?
Stark should be special. You must ensure that you can completely control the scale of the harm. Alvin feels that he will not hesitate to bring a battle ax to accompany you to complete the experiment.
Unfortunately, the reality is not like this. In Alvin's eyes, their adventure is a real adventure. If something goes wrong, not only will they be unlucky, but innocent people may also be implicated.
Seeing Stark's disappointed expression, Alvin walked over and put his arm around his shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "I can probably feel your "anxious" mood, but there are some things that I am very sad about mentally. This It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem.
I was just thinking that since the universe is so big, they must have some established rules, such as spaceships driving on the right or something like that!
The artificial intelligence you are talking about may already have more mature solutions in others.
You just want to find a qualified assistant. Isn't Jarvis useful? It just occupies a larger area, which can be overcome!
Since we have this ready-made channel to solve problems about artificial intelligence, why take risks? "
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Stark sincerely and said, "I have always thought you are the smartest guy on earth, and your imagination can narrow the distance between humans and those alien civilizations.
There’s nothing shameful about borrowing other people’s proven techniques. "
As he spoke, Alvin looked around and "transformed" a set of Kirita's "Sky Motorcycle", "Spear Energy Grab" and "Alien Space Armor" and placed them on the floor of the restaurant. He looked at the three scientific masters. , said with a smile: "This stuff is very good, why don't you try to study it?
Even a layman like me can tell that it is different from Norman’s old aircraft. It can fly in the universe, and it looks cheaper, haha! "
