Chapter 163 Will Supercomputers Dream of Von Neumann Machines?
Chapter 163 Do supercomputers dream of von Neumann machines?
Wang Pingan and Angeli entered the "negotiation room" one after another.
Well, they don't know what to call this room either.
When they were doing psychological evaluations before, the room where the computer was used to talk was similar to an ordinary psychology clinic, except that the questioning room was replaced by a computer.
But this room is empty and spotless. And as if to deliberately highlight this spotlessness, the entire room is white, with white walls, floors and ceilings, and white lights.
If there wasn't a certain shadow in the room, Wang Ping'an would have thought it was the standby space before people from the old movie "The Matrix" entered the matrix.
Yes, this is the space where the famous scene of "guns, I want a lot of guns" takes place.
In the entire white world, the only thing with a different color is the gray "host" in the middle of the room.
There is a mechanical camera on the host computer, and the single eye of the camera is always watching the two people entering the door.
"Are you a supercomputer?" Wang Ping'an tried to ask.
"Yes, I am the super quantum computer." The synthesized voice came from the speaker on the host computer.
"Yes, but as long as we are synchronized, we are the same. I will make a judgment, and so will the 'buddies' of Sun and Earth L2. This is because the information exchange between us is very efficient and can complete the sharing of all intelligence.
.
After all, Angele is the one who has studied psychology seriously, and this is just a hobby for him.
Wang Ping'an was shocked: "What?"
At this time, Wang Ping'an finished absorbing the computer's words and said: "You are souls born because of the self-organization phenomenon, and humans are also souls born from the self-organization phenomenon, so our souls are the same in terms of mathematical principles? Right?"
Wang Ping'an said "Oh".
Wang Ping'an couldn't close his mouth: "This... sounds outrageous at first sight, and it is indeed outrageous when you think about it carefully. But what you said seems to make sense..."
"Then why do you want to create this impression? We already know from Tu Shengli that you are an independent individual. What should we call you?" Wang Ping'an asked.
Wang Ping'an: "I understand, if you fall in love, you will find a nuclear fusion reactor!"
Angeli denied: "There is also Platonic love in love. And falling in love can make you better. There is a movie called "Millennium Actress", which was made by Japanese people before the complete victory of myopia. How do you explain women?
What about the protagonist’s kind of love?”
"Similarly, the biological magas will think that the way humans walk upright is too ugly, ugly and stupid. They will think that sticking to the ground like a bug is beautiful."
"As for me, my reproduction is achieved by controlling engineering machinery to create the next generation of supercomputing. So, if I fall in love like a human being, I will find a von Neumann machine. For me, a von Neumann machine
An ideal companion."
"Take the two of you as an example. Your records show that you have a very high level of tacit understanding with each other, but you still cannot 100% understand each other's thoughts. There are many proverbs in human language to describe this situation, such as people's hearts are separated from each other.
"
Angeli asked: "Why use this retro-style mechanical camera?"
"Wrong. Human love originates from the need to reproduce offspring. Male birds display beautiful feathers during the breeding season and fight with other male birds to attract and compete for female birds. Love is just an upgraded version of this behavior.
"No, I'm just telling you that everything about human beings has been formed over a long period of evolution.
"But from the perspective of biogamma, this sentence is too scary, full of indescribable terror, because in their evolution process, if they fall from a height of one meter, they will be shattered into pieces.
"Because I didn't know you had real consciousness at that time. I thought your title was similar to classmate Xiao Ai, just a code name. But for individuals with independent consciousness, the title represents self-awareness." Wang Ping'an said this
As he spoke, he glanced at Angeli.
"It's not entirely accurate. We still have differences in kernel frameworks. Even if the meta-instructions are the same, computers with different frameworks may not necessarily make the same decisions. I am a third-generation framework, and the third generation supercomputer currently designed by the third-generation framework
Fourth generation frame computers are under construction."
Wang Pingan covered his mouth and tried hard to digest what the computer had just said.
Wang Pingan frowned: "Then can this kind of sharing be achieved between you and a hostile supercomputer?"
"Humans who do not seek bright, open places are eaten by wild beasts.
"Then as long as you have the same meta-command and obtain the same information, the soul will be the same and can be regarded as one person. Does that mean that humans can also give birth to two identical people?"
Wang Ping'an: "That's it..."
But he immediately had a new idea: "By the way, since your soul and our soul are born based on the same mathematical principles, does it mean that you can also feel beauty and have a sense of humor?"
"I can be the supercomputer in this underground base, or I can be the computer in the Sun-Earth L2 Fortress. As long as we share intelligence, we are the same."
"Supercomputers are hostile to each other because the input meta-commands are different, so we will make different judgments on the same intelligence. When the meta-commands are the same, all supercomputers are me, but we have differences in intelligence synchronization.
So everyone is different."
"Human beings are a species that has reproduced for tens of thousands of years. The signs of the birth of human civilization can be found 15,000 years ago."
The computer immediately replied: "It's logical. In fact, this is the case with human twins. Two physically very close individuals grow up in almost the same environment, so in many cases they will make the same judgment. But humans
Think of it as telepathy between twins.
"For example, human beings say: I will be at the top of the mountain to see Zhongshan Mountain. This sentence is undoubtedly beautiful in the eyes of human beings.
Computer: "To me, the most beautiful thing is the steady-state plasma formed by nuclear fusion. Because that is the source of my life."
"In the primitive era, a bright environment was the same as it was easy to spot attacking beasts, and a wide field of vision was the same. Therefore, when humans had a bright environment and a wide field of vision, they would secrete corresponding hormones to make their mood happy. This kind of pleasure would make humans
Tends to look for bright places with wide views.
"In order to increase the mechanical texture and further give you the impression of my machine."
Wang Pingan frowned: "But you have souls, you are the product of self-organization..."
The computer's response came immediately: "That's wrong. Self-awareness is important to humans, but to us, it doesn't matter."
"The terminal is made like this to tell you that I am a machine."
Computer: "Negative."
"Actually, one-third of the entire underground structure of the Space Force Headquarters is occupied by me. This is just one of my terminals."
At this time Angeli said: "Then you actually distinguish each other based on different meta-commands?"
"Human beings are different because of the inefficient transmission of information between human individuals. Even if human individuals face each other, they cannot convey 100% of what they want to convey.
Wang Ping'an frowned: "Why do you also want to talk about human femurs?"
"However, before the large-scale application of genetic modification, human individuals cannot be exactly the same. During the growth process, due to the inefficiency of information transmission between humans, it is impossible for individual twins to completely share information, so most twins still have different personalities and other aspects.
There is a gap.”
Wang Ping'an: "I understand! You are saying that life forms are different, the evolution is different, and the standards of beauty are different. So to you, what is beautiful?"
Wang Ping'an: "You don't look as big as you thought."
"That's logical," the computer replied.
The indicator light on the computer case flashed, and then the computer replied: "Nowadays, human aesthetics is not to avoid beasts. This is like the original meaning and extended meaning of a word.
"The rest of humanity will feel happy when faced with bright, wide-view scenes. This is the basis of what humans call aesthetics.
"Aesthetics are closely related to human life forms and evolutionary processes. Suppose there is a kind of biological gamma living on a planet with a gravity twenty times that of the earth, then their aesthetics must be different from humans.
"Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, you never asked for my name in your previous psychological diagnosis."
"I admit that the emotion of love now has the effect of urging people to make progress. I also fully understand the line in that movie, 'What I like more is myself chasing him.'"
Wang Ping'an: "You finished watching that movie in one moment?"
"You can count how many zeros there are in the exponent of 10 multiplied by the number of operations per second."
Wang Ping'an's mouth turned into the letter "O" again: "Damn it...did you just use some roundabout humor?"
