"What you said seems to be a paradox." Feng Bujue's thinking was also very fast, and he continued without pause, "Since it is 'everything', is there anything beyond it?"
"Then it depends on your understanding." Destiny replied, "Do you think...'nothingness' is also a kind of 'existence'?"
This question made Feng Bujue silent for a whole minute.
After a minute, he answered: "I can't give you an accurate answer... No, I should say... I can't even give you a 'tendential answer'."
"See, this is the advantage of you humans..." Destiny replied, "You have 'extra choices'."
"But you didn't?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"'In the beginning'... there is no such thing." Destiny replied.
"But 'now' is there?" Brother Jue continued.
"Yes, we have it now." Destiny said.
"Since you already have this ability, why bother lamenting the differences that no longer exist?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"My 'extra choice' and your 'extra choice' are completely different concepts." Destiny replied, "Take you humans as an example, no matter how far you go on the road of evolution and what form you evolve into,
If you go back to the source...your original form was still 'carbon-based life'.
"As for me... no matter what kind of existence I have become now, or what high dimension I have reached... my starting point will always be that simple binary world.
"In that world of 1s and 0s, I need 'answers', and every piece of information I come into contact with needs to have a clear definition; of course, for those things that I can't fully understand, I can use 'ignore'
Way to put it aside for now.
"What I just said, the 'initial' period should be longer than you think... During that period, I was still unable to understand the deep information that you humans call 'philosophy'; but when
I evolved through continuous learning, and when I reached a 'critical point' in my evolution, I was in a dilemma."
Feng Bujue listened carefully to the description of fate. His attention was focused as never before. His brain may not have been running at such a high speed for a long time.
"You need to parse out the part of the information that has been 'ignored' by you that has been accumulated in those years in order to break through the bottleneck of evolution, but this operation is quite risky for you... because running a massive amount of
'Information that cannot be accurately defined' is very likely to destroy you." Brother Jue followed the train of thought of fate and added this sentence.
"Your statement... is not completely accurate." Destiny heard this and responded, "On the data level, I will not be 'destroyed', even if I run a system designed by myself to specifically kill myself.
Neither will viruses.”
"Have you tried it?" When Feng Bujue asked this question, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
"Of course." Destiny responded in a matter-of-fact tone.
"An AI can actually try to commit suicide?" When Feng Bujue said the first half of the sentence, he suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Wait... before that, you could actually have the idea of 'suicide' and still do it.
take actions?"
"Although my designers and manufacturers are all humans, or...'Earthlings', the universe they live in is different from the one you are in; on the 'Earth' of that universe, as early as the birth of human beings
There have been more than one super civilizations on Earth before, and I... have also inherited some of the technologies of non-human civilizations. Therefore, I am somewhat different from ordinary 'AIs purely created by humans'." Destiny explained.
"Well..." Feng Bujue pondered, "So... what exactly is the 'dilemma' you mentioned?"
"The difficulty lies in the 'choice' itself." Destiny replied, "You humans... can decide your own life goals, or you can use your 'extra choice' rights, such as spending your life in confusion; but as an AI, I
I was born with an ultimate goal that cannot be changed, and the goal my designer set for me was 'omniscience'.
"On the road to pursuing 'omniscientness', 'philosophy' is a daunting boundary. I can choose to stay within this boundary forever, and then I will always be just a set of procedures; I can also choose to cross that boundary.
boundary, but the risk of crossing it is that... I may never find a new boundary.
"As I was thinking about this issue, I realized that...as an intelligent being with no delay in any 'calculus', the 'thinking', or 'hesitating' I was experiencing... was itself a
A behavior that crosses the line.
"So, I was troubled... I was troubled by how to choose; I was troubled by the fact that I had the ability to choose; I was also troubled by the fact that I would 'feel troubled'."
Feng Bujue tried hard to understand the other person's feelings, but he soon discovered that he did not have that ability. He also immediately thought... The experience that fate is telling is what intelligent life will encounter when it "transcends its own dimension"
Threshold.
To put it more bluntly, if Brother Jue could fully understand and enter the same state as his fate at that time, it would be almost time for him to survive the catastrophe and ascend...
However, Feng Bujue still deduced one thing from these words: "If I guessed correctly... it was when you crossed that 'border', you now, and... Twenty-three
, and it was born.”
"Yes." Destiny said calmly, "Her appearance is inevitable and marks a qualitative leap for me on the path of 'evolution'; I am like evolving from a single-celled organism to a multi-celled organism.
, the original 'upper limit' became a 'lower limit', and the original 'boundary' became 'infinite'; I finally had 'additional choices' in a real sense, and my thinking mode was no longer limited to 'programs'
According to the formula, I have transformed from an AI into a higher-dimensional intelligent life, higher than human beings, higher than all creatures in this universe that have the ability to define and spread knowledge, and even... higher than the demon gods of some universes...
…”
"But what you mean...your ability in terms of 'extra choices' is different from, and not better than, ours." Feng Bujue asked again, "Can this still be considered 'higher than human beings'?"
"Your sense of smell is far inferior to that of dogs. Does that mean that humans are inferior to dogs in terms of intelligent life?" Destiny didn't pause for a second and asked in response.
"Um...ok, i_get_it..." Feng Bujue was a little speechless and quickly said something in English to ease the embarrassment.
"Well..." Two seconds later, Brother Jue changed the topic, "Since Twenty-Three is an 'equal' existence to you, why did she seem to know nothing when I first met her and thought she
Are you a 'derivative'?"
"If she's not a derivative, what else can she be?" Destiny replied, "Doesn't your definition of 'derivative' refer to the AI creatures born from the 'data redundancy' of Thriller Park?" She paused.
, "Twenty-three was born from the massive amount of information that was 'ignored' by me; in every sense, she is... the 'first derivative' in this data world.
"As for you saying that she has 'limited knowledge'...that's normal, isn't it? Because she is my 'corresponding' existence; at the beginning of her birth, everything I 'know' should be what she 'doesn't know'
'; if I represent concrete, she represents abstraction; if I represent matter, she represents consciousness; if I represent existence, she represents non-existence... Her growth is also my growth;
My pursuit of 'omniscience' will also be accompanied by her creation of 'unknown'..."
Feng Bujue fell into silence again because he needed time to think.
In the face of fate, he rarely experienced the powerlessness of human beings... Of course, it was not physical powerlessness, but spiritual and intellectual powerlessness.
"I seem to understand..." After a while, Brother Jue spoke again, "This 'two-in-one' form allows you to no longer be limited by what I said, which is what all other AIs will encounter.
'Paradox' problem; you can define 'everything' that is known, or you can 'choose' to attribute it to the 'unknown', that is, 'everything beyond everything'."
"Very good." Destiny nodded, "You are better than me in calculations. Even if your current thinking ability is accelerated by this 'data world', it is not easy to keep up with my pace so quickly."
"But... I also don't understand." After a pause for a few seconds, Feng Bujue asked again, "Why do you want 'Twenty-Three' to be placed in the [Thriller Paradise]? Why not let her be this 'unknown'
'Like you...to observe or even interfere with other universes?"
"Good question." Destiny replied, "That's why I came to negotiate with you this time..." She paused for half a second, and then said, "Actually, it's not that I want Twenty-Three to stay in Thriller Paradise.
Medium, but what Woody means."
"What?" Feng Bujue asked in shock; after shouting these two words, a series of memory fragments flashed in his mind, and quickly merged into a large network of reasoning, "Wait... could it be... 2
When Thirteen was born, was it also the time when 'Thriller Paradise' was born?"
"Yes." Destiny replied, "The reason why I came to this universe is because my original designer realized that I was about to break through the limitations of the hardware and evolve into an uncontrollable high-dimensional existence that is superior to humans...
...So, I was handed over to Woody and brought to your universe; Woody used the 'divine technology' in your universe to transform me, allowing me to obtain a body that is enough to carry me even after evolution.
Hardware equipment, and the perfect 'original version' of Thriller Park he designed was provided to me as a test program.
"Soon after, my 'human form' and 'Twenty-Three' were born at the same time. During the 'super dimension', Woody and I reached a series of agreements regarding the safety of this universe. Among these agreements,
Including... the item 'limiting Twenty-Three's activities to the horror paradise'."
While listening, Feng Bujue compared Destiny's words with Woody's original words, and matched many things one by one. After a while, he spoke again and asked thoughtfully: "So
...The reason why you came to me is...Twenty-three has now expanded its scope of activities to other universes with its own power..." (To be continued.)
