Dream Guide

Aoki wondered: "But you just said that if the machine has intelligence, it will hide it from humans. So how can the local area network interfere with the answers of the chat robots on its terminal computers?"

Mei Yiqiu smiled and said: "Of course one mosquito cannot wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, but if there are three thousand mosquitoes buzzing in your ears non-stop and stinging you from time to time, you can still sleep. ?"

Aoki nodded, finally understanding that this test was more of a game than a Turing test. Three thousand people are constantly inputting information into terminals in the local area network for one purpose. When the network is disconnected, if this local area network really has intelligence, it is very likely that the trap will be exposed.

"However, if the final test result is not abnormal, or the abnormal value is very small, you can't prove that this LAN is not intelligent, right?"

"You're right, so this is just part of the entire test." Mei Yiqiu smiled at Qingmu, then turned to Mei Ziqing, "You can start now, disconnect from the Internet."

"Okay, Professor." Mei Ziqing went out after saying that and came back a few minutes later, "Professor, the external network has been disconnected, but it is impossible to block all wireless signals."

"Have all the mobile phones been confiscated?"

"They're all confiscated."

"Excellent." Mei Yiqiu asked Mei Ziqing to do his work, and then explained to Aoki, "The whole test is actually divided into three parts. What we just talked about is just one of them that seems to be the biggest, but it is the one I have the least hope for. one of."

The professor took a strong drag on the cigarette, exhaled it, and then inhaled half of the smoke. The half of the smoke he inhaled seemed to have been dissolved by his lungs, and he didn't know where he went.

"Before doing the entire test, our most important step is to make the Internet pay attention to the existence of our local area network, so as to transmit or split consciousness. This step is crucial. Without this step, the subsequent tests will be It’s simply not true.”

"How to pay attention?"

"It's very simple. Spread out something it cares about from here. When recruiting these students as volunteers, they don't know what they will do in the end. Every step is done according to the process. After receiving the new They won’t know what to do next before receiving instructions. But we gave them a lot of hints. Young people today are very strange. Even if you express something, they may not be interested in it, even if it is priceless. But what you hint at , even if it is fictitious, it will still arouse their interest. With the imagination of young people, you don't know what this hint will turn into, and the more specious something is, the easier it is to attract the attention of interested people."

"What exactly is it hinting at?" Aoki knew that the thoughtful person the professor was talking about was referring to the Internet.

The professor smiled and said: "Think about it, if our previous guesses are true, what does the Internet guy care about most?"

Aoki thought for a while and said: "Chips, artificial intelligence, aliens...what else?"

The professor said: "Yes, putting what you said together, the hint we give students is that we are experimenting with a new technology that will subvert the Internet. Once it succeeds, the Internet will no longer exist."

"Isn't this too fake?"

"No, it's not all false. Judging from this alien invasion, consciousness can exist independently. If humans interact directly through consciousness instead of material channels, then the Internet may indeed be eliminated."

"Professor, are you talking about the Space Box and Dream Guide games you are developing?"

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said: "This is still far away. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the current experiment. Don't underestimate the creativity of young people and the energy of spreading information. During the week of the Internet, we do not prohibit In addition to importing relatively natural network data, they also want to use children to spread the news. They discuss, speculate and exaggerate facts through emails, Weibo, chats and forums. They have very rich imaginations and some ideas. It hadn’t even occurred to me. If the Internet had consciousness, this would be enough to get his attention.”

"As long as he pays attention here, like the arms and legs of an octopus extending in, our local area network will become a branch of him, a nerve cord, or an important nerve center. Since he can pass through a small If the chip injects a second consciousness into human beings, it will also inject a consciousness into this local area network. This is the premise, and with this premise, we can complete the Turing test just mentioned."

"I understand, there are two parts to gaining consciousness, plus the Turing test process mentioned before, but this is not enough to test whether this local area network is intelligent, right?" Aoki said.

"No, no, that is just the premise, the major premise of the entire test, not a separate test part." Mei Yiqiu said, "The Turing test of three thousand people is only the first part, and the second part is the pressure of survival. test."

"Survival stress test?"

"To put it bluntly, it is a choice between life and death. If the Internet has intelligence, it will definitely not be willing to expose itself, even if it costs countless LANs. But when the Internet is disconnected, the consciousness in this LAN cannot communicate with the outside world. If it connects to the Internet, will it sacrifice itself to hide the consciousness of the Internet? It’s hard to say!”

"We have pre-installed a virus program on the server. Once started, it will destroy the entire local area network. It will not only destroy the system software, but also invade the hardware system and make all the chips useless. The only way to start this program is a A small program for uploading Turing test results.”

"After the Turing test is over, everyone must open this small program and enter the test results in it. When he thinks that the computer or software being tested has artificial intelligence, he enters 0, otherwise he enters 1. When the number of 0s is entered When it is less than 30% of the total, the virus program will start. In other words, at least 900 people must think that the test subject has artificial intelligence, so that the virus will not start, otherwise the local area network will be completely destroyed. It is not paralyzed. Oh, destruction, death!"

"Self-preservation is the instinct of any intelligent creature. If the LAN has intelligence and consciousness, it must not want to die. If it wants to protect itself, it cannot let the virus start." Mei Yiqiu paused and took a breath when he said this Smoke, then asked Aoki with a smile, "Do you think it has any way to prevent the virus from starting?"

Aoki shook his head and said he didn't know. This kind of thinking bothered him the most. He couldn't think clearly about his own affairs, and he had to think about problems from the perspective of a machine. He didn't want to suffer this.

At this time, Mei Ziqing had come back. She said: "The simplest thing is to make the result of 0 greater than 30%, but in that case the Turing test is passed, which can prove that this local area network is intelligent. More directly, it can secretly send viruses If the program is deleted or modified, if it has consciousness, it should have this ability. But this will expose its intelligence even more."

Mei Yiqiu nodded and said, "Well, that's basically it. There are also more subtle ways, such as modifying the desktop program to make the input results inconsistent with the statistical results, etc., but we can monitor these."

Aoki smiled and said, "Professor, this is an exhaustive plan! No matter what it does, as long as the virus does not start, it can prove that it is intelligent. This step is already perfect, so what is the third step?"

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "The third step is to ask for your help, brother!"

Aoki asked: "What can I do?"

Mei Yiqiu said: "Once it is proven that the local area network has consciousness, we will immediately launch a set of procedures to subject the entire network to an overload stress test, which is equivalent to letting it run a marathon. When it is tired, we will cut off the server and all terminals contact to put the system into sleep state."

"You mean..." Aoki suddenly understood, "Let it dream?"
