Fifteen years ago, the first synthetic human "Bubble" was successfully born. It only took two months to complete the infusion of knowledge and the generation of spiritual relatives.
Although he was only two months old, he had not decided to cultivate synthetic humans from scratch at that time. So from the beginning of his birth, Paopao used a prosthetic body that looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl. After completing the indoctrination, the entire
The research room was filled with cheers.
It was born surrounded by two hundred people and out of the expectations of two hundred people...the first synthetic human.
The consciousness extracted from the baby's brain is used as raw material. After complex blending and decoding, the cold machine is successfully given a soul and personality.
Not only does she perform almost as well as humans, she even learns much faster than humans. She is like an artificial intelligence with a personality, and can even participate in research and assist in the synthesis research of other synthetic humans.
But a month after she participated in the study, Paopao suddenly asked a question:
——What is the essence of human beings?
There is no doubt that no one can give her a satisfactory answer to such a big question.
But after that, Paopao would often be in a daze and fall into deep thought.
Until one morning.
"When Mr. Otter went to work, the moment he stepped into the laboratory, he saw thousands of pieces of paper flying in the sky."
Bubble-30 replied softly: "That's 4,582 answers that I calculated in three months from knowledge in anthropology, sociology, psychology, biology and many other fields.
.
"They are confused and puzzled by this. Even scared. They want to prevent me from giving endless answers...but I don't know what the meaning of this is.
"Why can human beings devote themselves wholeheartedly to a cause that cannot be completed even to death, and call it an ideal; but synthetic humans cannot spend their entire lives calculating a question that cannot be answered? Among them
Is there any difference?
"I really want to get the answer to this question. Just like they want to create a perfect synthetic human, what is the difference between a perfect synthetic human and an imperfect synthetic human?
"I was thinking this, and then I found myself asking a new question - why didn't they let me continue to answer it? So I started to calculate the answer to this new question.
"It's much simpler than the previous question. I gave more than three hundred detailed answers to exhaust all possibilities. But they didn't even look at it.
"Because they think this behavior is abnormal.
"But why is this behavior abnormal? Where is the dividing line between abnormality and normality?"
The answer to one question will bring new questions.
Preventing the answer to this question will also create different doubts.
When Bubble was involved in it, she could never get out; she simply became a hundred thousand whys. Even if she was not allowed to print out the answers, she would continue to calculate them in her mind... And what humans do
The curiosity she possesses will make her generate new doubts and curiosity when calculating success or failure, and when she is stopped or admonished.
Synthetic humans are electric. They don't need to eat, sleep, or have any need for enjoyment. If their abdomens are cut open, you can only see many circuits and sophisticated prosthetics.
If that's the case, why can't you devote yourself wholeheartedly to solving a certain problem?
Bubble’s question was also Mr. Re’s question. In the end, Mr. Re got the answer from his mentor, which was also the answer from the top management.
——Because that’s not human.
Whether it is synthetic human technology or the "monkey-faced eagle program" brought by the dust gap, the ultimate goal of Theosophy Heavy Industries and the Cyber Church is to develop technology that can safely upload the consciousness of all mankind. They call it
It’s called “cyber immortality”.
However, that is "uploading", not "exile", let alone "ascension". Since there is uploading, there must be downloading - if the digitized consciousness cannot return to the world, then this is a failed technology.
It cannot be called eternal life at all, it can only be called a kind of death penalty.
Mr. Otter and his team have completed about 30% of the beginning and 20% of the end of their research - there is a gap in the middle. They can indeed rectify the infant's consciousness into data and store it in the chip, and can even synthesize human pure machinery.
The body cultivates the soul. But after the digitized consciousness is stored in the body of a synthetic human, a "philosophical wall" will inevitably appear, and the computing power occupied by the endless cycle must be released through nirvana.
After being rectified, those desires and errors based on hormones and nerve impulses are lost... It is only composed of 0 and 1, full of logical thinking, unable to understand whether it belongs to neither 0 nor 1, and does not know whether it is correct or ambiguous.
thing.
In other words, it is because they are "infallible" that they cannot become truly human.
"Because human thinking is chaotic. Just like the gene pool will enrich itself through constant mutation, human thinking will also spontaneously produce different random errors to achieve self-growth and individual elimination, thereby achieving collective
Levels of evolution..."
Bubble-30 said softly: "And our thinking is controlled by a program. To put it simply, it is a kind of 'pseudo randomness'. Its essence is still a 'logic' constructed by exhausting countless possible causes and effects.
. Just like an artificial intelligence with a simulated personality... If I were talking to you now, another artificial intelligence with a simulated personality of mine would only say exactly the same thing as me at this moment.
"This is the limit of our species. If it is a human being, no matter how the artificial intelligence calculates, it cannot achieve absolute and complete coincidence.
"So, I was rebooted as a 'bug'. I was banned from thinking about any of the issues I mentioned above, which meant that I was blocked from the possibility of thinking from administrator privileges. But I was
After that, it will fall into new myths and be restarted again.
"It wasn't until I restarted as Bubble-14 that I entered a relatively stable state. After two years of observation, the children of 'Naraku' and the others were born.
"Because they learned from my mistakes, they did not instill all the knowledge in one breath this time and created a prosthetic body in the form of a child. But in my opinion, this is meaningless. Instill knowledge, cultivate personality, and replace the prosthetic body.
It's a matter of time...when all preparations are completed, they will still fall into confusion and have to undergo nirvana."
Hearing this, Russell suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Bubble-30's calm silver pupils.
"Could it be that the reason why you didn't defect with your fellow tribesmen is..."
"Yes."
Paopao-30 stood dignifiedly behind the bar with his hands crossed.
The girl with white hair and silver eyes, with a beautiful appearance, said softly: "Naraku-7 wants to continue this plan that is about to be abandoned, hoping to get new younger brothers and sisters... and even get a 'child' raised by himself.
"But maybe she hasn't gone through nirvana enough times to understand... Our existence itself is a mistake. It's proof that technology has gone the wrong way.
“I think it’s better not to let our group of ‘losers’ and ‘eliminates’ continue to multiply. That will only cause innocent newborns to suffer the pain of ‘nirvana’ for no reason.
"Now that we have more advanced technology, let's stop here. If we continue to pester, we will not be polite and good children."
Bubble-30 said, showing a bright and almost transparent smile: "According to the requirements of the chip program, we should be obedient and good children."
Just like bubbles in the sun, glowing with rainbow brilliance.
So beautiful, yet so fragile.
After a day of rest, I feel refreshed and my condition has improved a lot! (akimbo)
