Chapter 1432 Boiling
The crazy crowd shouted. They held up their protest signs and chanted their own slogans.
The crowd gathered in Times Square was not a minority. And the composition of the members is also very complicated.
Although it can be seen from their appearance that many of them look like vagrants, the reality is that many of them once had relatively decent jobs.
Among them was a woman in her fifties. She wheeled a cart full of soda cans, possibly in the hundreds.
Looks like she's just one of New York's most common scavengers. But she was dressed relatively neat and clean. Even when she is working as a scavenger, she still does not forget to put on a pair of rubber gloves for herself. It is both hygienic and retains the last bit of decency.
She held up the sign. It says [Return the jobs taken away by intelligent AI]!
The parade in Times Square in New York not only attracted the attention of Spiderman Peter Parker, but also many media in New York City rushed to the scene to report.
And this neatly dressed woman pushing a cart of cans caught the attention of local reporters in New York City.
A reporter beckoned his camera companion to point the camera at the old woman. The reporter went up to point the microphone at the old lady, and asked: "Hello. You are demonstrating and protesting. What do these words on your sign mean?"
The old woman glanced at the reporter and recognized him as a New York City TV station. Facing the camera, the old woman was not stage frightened, and even said that she was very happy to finally find a channel to vent her anger and talk.
She grabbed the microphone handed to him by the reporter, and said loudly to the audience on the other side of the camera: "Smart AI took my job!"
"I used to have a decent job, I worked at Microsoft. I worked hard for over 20 years. But because of the smart AI technology that comes with Tony Stark's Iron Armor, I lost my job!"
The intelligent AI technology this woman mentioned is a simplified version developed by Tony Stark based on his own Jarvis intelligent AI.
Because the Stark Group began to sell a large number of various civilian steel armors. It is almost impossible to do this without any assistance by relying solely on human brain manipulation. Unless that person is newtpye or can burst seeds.
Driving the Iron Armor without any assistance is equivalent to driving a Ferrari with all the vehicle assistance systems turned off.
No esc, no esp, no abs. There is no wheel spin prevention system. There is no vehicle balance system. There's no power brakes, no steering assist.
This kind of car is for the general public, no, no, it should be said that even if it is for many ten-year-old drivers, 99.99% of them will definitely die on the spot when they drive the accelerator.
And driving a steel armor is obviously more dangerous than driving a Ferrari supercar. Even after 2 to 3 years of systematic training, not everyone can control the Iron Armor well.
Therefore, the intelligent AI system to assist the Iron Armor was launched logically.
Even a super simplified version based on Jarvis. But this intelligent AI system assistance system is still very powerful.
Someone within the Stark Group has proposed that this intelligent AI system can be expanded to a greater extent.
Its role is not just to assist in driving the Iron Armor. After researching and improving it. This system can actually be used in many basic office fields. This system is more convenient and faster than all existing AI programs.
Tony always has to account to his shareholders and stockholders. And from his standpoint, there is no reason to prevent more development of this AI technology in the civilian field. Because the promotion of this technology will inevitably bring greater progress to society.
But there is no doubt that while promoting social progress, this AI system has also taken away many jobs and jobs for many people.
This woman was clearly one of them. She complained angrily to the TV reporter and the audience on the other side of the camera: "I have worked for so long. Apart from my own work, I have no other skills."
"And because of the emergence of this AI technology, I was directly kicked out of my job. I can't find other jobs, but I have to pay social security and medical insurance every month. Otherwise, what will I do in the future? So now I only Can pick up cans for a living in New York."
"All my car and house were confiscated by the bank. Now I don't have a fixed place to live, and I don't even have a place to sleep. Every night I have to sleep under the overpass with cockroaches and mice."
"Is this what you call the new age! I don't like it at all! I want my job back and I want to sleep in my bed!"
The woman was angry and somewhat mad. The reporters in New York City didn't know how to answer for a while.
Situations similar to this woman are not uncommon among protesting crowds. In addition to her, there are also some shipbuilders, car builders, construction workers, etc. whose jobs have been replaced by steel armor.
Although it is said that Li Jie and others have indeed opened many training schools, and they provide training for these people almost free of charge, and then prepare for layoffs and re-employment.
But there are differences between people. Some people may only learn a certain skill in their life, and if they are asked to learn new ones, they will never learn it again.
It's not an excuse to be lazy or anything like that. But this kind of thing really exists in this world, and such people are not considered a minority.
It’s like doing construction engineering. After more than a year of basic training, some people can drive simple engineering mechs and do some relatively simple labor, while some people can’t even make steel armor after 4 to 5 years of learning. The armor walks normally.
Among this group of protesting crowd, some people are really lazy and don't want to work, but there are also many people like this woman. It's not that they don't want to learn new skills, but they can't learn them no matter what.
It's like some people can't learn to cook or learn to paint in their lifetime.
Spiderman Peter Parker looked at these crazy protesting crowds in Times Square in New York, and his spider sense inexplicably had some bad premonitions.
And at the same time that his spider sense gave him a bad feeling, the New York City policemen also arrived in their police cars.
In fact, unlike what many Chinese people think, in the United States, protests, marches and rallies can be held at will.
All protest marches and rallies in the United States must first be approved by the city government and the police department. And it is necessary to tell the police station in advance the route of their parade and the slogan of the parade, the number of participants, when it will start, and when it will end. Only after approval can they officially hit the road.
If the government and the police do not agree, then it is an illegal assembly. The police have the right to arrest any member who participates in an illegal assembly.
Obviously, this opportunity is an illegal assembly, because the New York City government has not been notified that someone will hold such a large-scale protest in Times Square, New York.
So the then chief of the New York City Police Department immediately dispatched hundreds of police officers to the scene to maintain order. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts or stampedes.
And these police officers also have the duty to disperse the crowd. Because this is an illegal assembly. This is different from the other fat parade that happened several years ago.
Although the fat parades were all riding electric tricycles, they chanted slogans with loudspeakers while eating hot dogs and Coke. But they are all reported.
This group of people has not been reported, but there are so many people gathered together, there is a vague feeling that someone behind the scenes is taking the lead in doing this.
Spider-Man didn't dare to leave Times Square, because he was afraid of bigger troubles here. Hundreds of police officers used police cars to block several roads around Times Square, preventing entry and exit.
In addition to Spiderman, some other street heroes in New York City also began to gather here slowly. They all felt that the police force in New York City might not be enough. The New York City Police Chief is coordinating police forces from other areas to rush to Times Square.
The tens of thousands of people gathered in Times Square began to become more and more emotional. Many experienced media have sensed that something is wrong, and the veteran reporters will take their companions to evacuate from this dangerous area. Only the rookies still want to catch some big news and gain a chance to stand out.
"Burn him, burn him, burn him, burn him!"
This group of people who came to the party may be suitable for meeting too many people who have the same experience. Then they learned that each other had the same abstinence as themselves. The atmosphere at the scene began to boil and reached its peak.
And at this moment, someone took out a large photo of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. And doused with gasoline and ignited.
And this is just the beginning. Scarecrows dressed as Iron Man and the head of the Earth were also taken out. In the excitement of the crowd these scarecrows were set ablaze.
The protesting crowd erupted in loud cheers. It seems that after burning the scarecrow representing Iron Man and the Earth, they can go back to their original lives.
The crowd cheered, laughed wildly, cried and danced. Suddenly someone started singing "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The singing was originally just a point in the crowd, started by a strong black man. Beside the black people, some people also began to sing the American national anthem.
As more and more people started humming together.
As the singing became louder, Spider-Man Peter Parker's inner unease also grew louder. Peter Parker was searching around for what could make him uneasy.
And just when his anxiety reached its peak, he finally saw a small thing. It was a can of tear gas, and he didn't know where it was shot into the crowd.
"Wait!" Spiderman Peter Parker felt that this second of time and space was like slow motion.
Tear gas fell from the sky in an arching arc. I am like Neo who dodges bullets in The Matrix. I was trying to catch the bullet with my bare hands.
But he is Spider-Man, not the savior Neo.
I fired four spider silks in a row but failed to accurately hit the small tear gas canister hundreds of meters away.
And when this can of tear gas fell into the already boiling crowd, it was like a drop of cold water poured into boiling hot oil. In just one moment, the whole pot of oil is heated and the pot is boiled.
