Chapter 428 Conditions (5300)
The crystal ball that just spoke is called grapefruit?
Is it the same as Jarvis from Iron Man?
It’s a completely transparent crystal ball, but I can’t see where the battery is and how it’s charged?
Oh, there seems to be a hole on it... Is this the wireless charging they're talking about?
So cool.
No. 12...
Oh, right, Android 12!
Liu Feifei didn't know how, but she got Fang Yu's bad taste. Although she was very nervous just now, she burst out laughing.
Mother Liu glared at Liu Feifei in anger. Liu Feifei quickly put away her expression and looked at Fang Yu who was debugging Android No. 12 in front of the computer.
Even though Liu's mother and Liu Feifei were both blind to technology, at this moment, they could feel the wave of technology coming towards them, and the wind that blew carried the flavor of the future.
This scene from a science fiction movie appeared in reality, and even Liu's mother began to doubt herself - could her plan really succeed?
Although she had previously come into contact with some so-called "tech upstarts" who were under the banners of "Internet industrialization", "blockchain top-level design", "P2P financial innovation" and "new media operation".
As it turned out, these guys all sounded very impressive, hanging out either at the Bulgari Hotel or the IFC, but in reality they were all hooligans.
Look at number 12 again.
This is real high technology!
If No. 12, which was still in "safe mode", had not suddenly malfunctioned, it would not have been possible to tell that it was a robot.
For Liu's mother and Liu Feifei, a robot that can walk and move and looks like a real person is far more in line with their understanding of "high technology" than a large AI model whose purpose is unknown.
Liu's mother and Liu Feifei couldn't help but feel more restrained as they watched Fang Yu standing in front of the lift-able table and typing out lines of incomprehensible code on the monitor.
Most people's self-confidence will be temporarily weakened when they are in an unfamiliar environment or field.
Even people like Chuan Bao are no exception.
He just might not admit it verbally.
"It may take a long time, and it's not good to keep you two waiting too long. Let's chat first." Fang Yu put down the keyboard, reached out to take two bottles of water, and casually pulled a high stool from the workbench. He sat on it and extended his hand to Liu's mother and Liu Feifei who were sitting on two round stools.
Liu's mother quickly stood up and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Fang Yu.
Is Liu Feifei in her late fifties, almost sixty? She looks even older than Robbie Myers. Her hands look like they've been covered in Wangshu Tears lately; they don't look like the hands of a woman her age at all.
"Mr. Xiao Fang, thank you very much for giving Cici this opportunity. I..." Mother Liu gritted her teeth, "I know we don't have anything to offer in exchange, but please believe that we will definitely satisfy you."
When Liu Feifei heard what her mother said, her expression changed slightly and her body twisted unconsciously on the round stool, appearing a little uncomfortable.
Fang Yu looked at Liu's mother thoughtfully.
us?
That’s nice to think about.
Liu Feifei and her mother were both wearing DVF V-neck wrap dresses, the same style but different colors.
Liu Feifei was wearing goose yellow, while Liu Mu was wearing dark red wavy clothes.
Although the DVF brand is not very famous, many celebrities and wealthy women have been wearing it in the past two years, and it is very effective in attracting men.
The stepmother skirt that has been very popular recently is actually a copy of DVF.
"Ms. Liu, if possible, I would like to talk to Miss Liu alone first."
Fang Yu picked up the water, took a sip, and said lightly.
Mother Liu's face flushed instantly, and she looked a little embarrassed. She laughed dryly, "Of course, of course, Mr. Xiao Fang, you guys chat first. I'll go outside... No, I'll go sit in the car for a while."
After saying that, Liu's mother stood up hurriedly, almost knocking over the round stool. She tried to open the door, but the door lock was broken, with wood splinters exposed. Several splinters pierced Liu's middle finger.
"Ah!" Liu's mother exclaimed.
"Mom!" Liu Feifei stood up subconsciously and called out with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a scratch, it's okay, Feifei, have a good chat with Mr. Xiao Fang."
Mother Liu forced a smile, lowered her head, tucked her handbag under her arm, and quickly walked out of the villa gate.
As soon as Liu's mother left, Liu Feifei seemed a little uneasy, and her nervous expression was obvious.
"Mr. Xiao Fang, you misunderstood. My mother didn't mean that..."
Liu Feifei lowered her head, her nose feeling a little sore.
"She's a very good person. She's done a lot for me since I was little. It's not what you imagine..."
"Can I call you Ning Yu? Why didn't Liu Feifei show up today?" Fang Yu smiled and didn't continue the topic.
Liu Feifei raised her head, a pleading look on her face: "She's very scared to see you now. You're the only one who's seen through our secret. Since you're not interested in me, I can promise that I won't bother you again. Please don't tell anyone else about this, especially... my mom, okay?"
Liu Feifei looked at Fang Yu with a little nervousness.
It was impossible not to be nervous. This boy just tapped my forehead that day, and my "charming" personality disappeared.
Afterwards, the "Charmed State" said that she seemed to be locked in a box with four walls that kept squeezing inward. She could neither sense the existence of the "Pure State" nor perceive any information from the outside world, and was almost scared to death.
Such things were completely beyond Liu Feifei's understanding.
Even if we ignore these supernatural factors, now is her low point. The other party is not only a rising star, but also the hottest AI leader. Her previous "supporters" could not compare to him in their heyday, let alone now.
Many people believe that most of those who climb up are flatterers and bullies.
This statement is both right and wrong. Praising the powerful and criticizing the weak is actually the result, not the cause.
The real reason is that in this world, the higher the class, the more the law of the jungle applies.
But when they arrive in Heaven, the rules of society, even the law, lose their binding force on them in 99% of cases.
But at the same time, they lose the protection of these rules and laws.
Whether it is the law or the moral rules, it constrains the public and protects the public.
Liu Feifei may not be able to understand the concept of putting chickens and rabbits in the same cage, but having been in close contact with the Heavenly Palace since she was a child, she understands this principle better than 99.999% of people. She doesn't even need to think about it, it has become a natural instinct.
Because of this, even though she didn't want to face Fang Yu who saw through her secret, she had to come.
Fang Yu waved her hand: "I don't have the habit of gossiping, so you don't have to worry about me telling anyone."
The expression on Liu Feifei's face relaxed a little.
"Actually, the main reason I invited you two here this time is because I'm curious about your current situation."
Fang Yu used his mental power to detect Liu Feifei's spirit. As expected, the orange-red spirit representing the "charming state" shrank inside the light blue spirit. When the orange-red spirit heard Fang Yu's words, its reaction was obviously much greater than that of the light blue spirit.
Liu Feifei's expression, which had just relaxed, became a little unnatural again.
As a DID patient, Liu Feifei naturally understands what this disease is like better than ordinary people.
Most DID patients suffered severe psychological trauma in childhood.
So Liu Feifei doesn't want anyone to know that she has DID symptoms.
"I'd like to know if your memories are shared. When she became the dominant personality, how did you perceive the outside world? Was this perception different from when you were the dominant one?"
Fang Yu was indeed curious about the multiple personalities that could only be seen in movies, but more importantly, he needed Liu Feifei to cooperate with his research to find out why Liu Feifei's spirituality could help him grow his mental strength.
Of course he has the ability to use arcane means to make Liu Feifei cooperate, but Liu Feifei is not in the evil camp. Even in the "charm state", she is only neutral and chaotic. If he casts mind control spells on the other party when she has not made any hostile actions towards him, it will cause the camp to shift.
Even a slight deviation would be an unnecessary loss.
If you do an evil deed that is not in line with the requirements of the good camp, the spiritual deviation caused cannot be compensated by doing ten good deeds.
Otherwise, where do so many "fallen people" who believe in evil gods come from in the main plane now?
After Fang Yu asked this question, Liu Feifei's inner orange-red spirituality jumped violently, and the operating rules of the light blue spirituality also produced subtle fluctuations.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Fang, I really don't want to talk about this topic."
Liu Feifei was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Whether you look down on me, pity me, or intend to humiliate me, I don't mind. I don't think what she did is anything to be ashamed of. I have never done anything bad, nor have I ever hurt anyone. I should repay the kindness others have shown me. It's only natural."
"Whether she takes the lead or I take the lead, it all comes from my heart. It's just that there are some things that I really can't learn well, and Feifei is better at it, so I leave it to her to handle."
After hearing Liu Feifei's reply, Fang Yu was puzzled.
I'm talking to you about serious academic issues, what nonsense are you talking about?
However, her reply just now did explain why her two personalities could still retain common memories and communicate with each other.
She debuted at a very young age and has always been under the control of her mother. Her growth experience is very different from that of others. Many things that seem absurd to ordinary people have been brainwashed into being normal to her since childhood.
But even if she forced herself to believe that some things were normal, they were contrary to her own camp and stance. She was subconsciously unwilling to accept them, but her dependence on and affection for her mother forced herself to learn these things she didn't want to learn. This struggle led to the emergence of her second personality, "Liu Feifei".
There are two components to DID: trauma and fantasy.
When Liu Feifei was a child, after suffering a trauma, she must have fantasized about having a friend with great powers who could help her master the things she was not good at, and then she imagined what methods this friend would use to solve the problems.
DID patients are often highly hypnotizable. At the same time, children are quite adaptable to dissociation. When the dissociation exceeds the normal intensity and frequency, a second personality may be born that can adapt to the mother's expectations or environmental requirements.
Fang Yu touched his chin thoughtfully. "Ms. Ning Yu, I don't understand what you just said, but the reason I'm interested in you and asked you that question is because your and Liu Feifei's situation has certain value to the future research and development of Youzi Technology."
Liu Feifei was slightly startled when she heard this. Although she had been respectful yet obviously indifferent, a look of suspicion appeared on her face. She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xiao Fang, doesn't Youzi Technology do artificial intelligence?"
Is my mental illness valuable to Youzi Technology?
They're working on AI, right? Isn't AI just a computer program? What does it have to do with me?
Fang Yu said calmly, "Ms. Ning Yu, the AI model itself was created by simulating the neural structure of the human brain in the virtual world."
"DID is closely related to the neural network structure of the human brain."
"I've read a lot of research these days, and most people with similar experiences probably have more differentiated personalities than you do."
"But these personalities often don't communicate with each other in terms of feelings and memories. If they do, it means DID is in its early stages and is an unstable condition."
"In this situation, it will either continue to deteriorate, gradually becoming a complete multiple personality, with the memories and perceptions of each personality completely independent, and the main personality not even aware of the existence of the secondary personality; or the two personalities will reach a reconciliation and merge into one again."
"But your situation is quite special. Through our conversation at Bazaar that day, I discovered that your two personalities can communicate with each other. Furthermore, it seems your DID history is quite long, yet you've managed to maintain this stable state."
"This makes me very curious. Your case is very helpful to some of Yuzu Technology's research and has inspired me a lot."
"If we can understand why your two personalities can establish such stable communication, it may lead to some new breakthroughs in the architecture of our large AI models."
Similar to most female celebrities, Liu Feifei is not interested in things like IT and AI. She doesn't even know the basic concepts of many things and doesn't want to know.
But what Fang Yu said was related to her situation, and she didn't dare not listen. After listening, she found that she actually understood it.
What I mean is, my illness... well, it's not an illness, but my condition is very special?
He didn't ask me...
Liu Feifei's face couldn't help but turn red.
"So, if you can cooperate with our research, in exchange, I can help you operate CAA's Class A contract. At the same time, I can also provide you with the resource support you desire. If you have any other requirements, you can also raise them."
Fang Yu spoke in a calm tone and looked relaxed.
This really didn't require any effort on his part.
Besides, he wasn't lying to Liu Feifei.
In addition to finding out the reasons for the increase in mental power, Liu Feifei's situation is indeed worthy of study. Fang Yu combined mental power scanning with identification techniques and found that under the influence of DID, the synaptic connections in Liu Feifei's brain were obviously divided into two "dynamic core models."
This also basically verifies the "thalamus-cortex system hypothesis" of Nobel Prize winner Gerard Edelman.
But unlike Gerard Edelman's "thalamus-cortical system" hypothesis, Liu Feifei's brain has an additional layer of neural network structure near the amygdala and hippocampus compared to normal people. It is this layer of structure that allows her two personalities to share memories and synchronize perception.
If this neural network structure can be understood, it can effectively improve the training efficiency and real-time performance of the Orange model, and can greatly accelerate the realization of ASI.
I just don't know whether the growth of mental power is also related to this neural network.
I guess it doesn’t matter, spirituality, strictly speaking, is not in the brain.
The "charming state" that Fang Yu had previously restrained with his mental power was not restrained in Liu Feifei's brain.
Hearing Fang Yu's casual words, Liu Feifei couldn't help but tear her lips again.
"Mr. Fang, I would like to ask, is this research harmful to both of us? Will it be..." Liu Feifei bit her lip, and stared at Fang Yu with her lacquer-like eyes, her eyes still so pure.
Fang Yu shook his head: "Probably not, but I have to make it clear first, I may hypnotize one of you again, just like last time, but this will not have any impact on your existence."
When Liu Feifei heard that she was going to be hypnotized like last time, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Fang Yu said calmly, "Of course, you can refuse. I'm a businessman, and business is based on mutual consent. I don't like to force others, and you don't need to worry about any consequences."
Fang Yu paused and stroked the stubble on his chin: "Of course, if you want to change to other conditions, that's fine."
"For example—some trouble you've always wanted to solve but can't."
Liu Feifei's body trembled when she heard this, and the expression on her face was struggling. Through his mental power, Fang Yu could clearly see that there was a fierce struggle between Liu Feifei's two personalities.
I just don't know what I'm fighting for.
"I, I don't have any other troubles. Thank you, thank you Mr. Xiao Fang." After a full minute, Liu Feifei spoke in a trembling voice.
"I have a request. Can this research be limited to you and me, without involving other researchers? After all... I'm really afraid that others will find out about this..."
Liu Feifei took two light breaths, her expression gradually relaxed, but there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.
Fang Yu seemed to hear something from the depths of Liu Feifei's soul, and she let out a long sigh in her "charming state".
"Okay then." Fang Yu shrugged indifferently.
"It seems that both of you have agreed. Then we can arrange a time. If you are free today, we can conduct the first study today, and then twice a month, each time for half a day. We can coordinate the specific time. Is that okay?"
Twice a month? Half a day each time?
Fortunately, the conditions are much better than I imagined.
Moreover, he himself knew his own secret. I guess this kind of research would just involve sticking various electrodes on the head and lying down for half a day, which is at least easier than filming a movie.
Only now did Liu Feifei feel somewhat relaxed, and her expression was no longer so stiff: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Fang."
Fang Yu shook his head and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to thank me for. It's just a fair trade. Miss Ning Yu can talk to Ms. Liu first, then check in in the living room or find a hotel nearby and come back later."
"It will take me about an hour and a half to finish the work I have on hand, and then we'll start the first experiment."
Liu Feifei stood up and said, "No need, Mr. Xiao Fang. My mom and I will just wait in the car. You just said that each experiment will only take half a day at most. We can have the driver drive back to Xinhao overnight."
Fang Yu immediately understood.
I’m afraid that paparazzi will follow me to the hotel and take pictures secretly.
Female celebrities are so cautious.
Seeing Fang Yu busying herself at the workbench again, Liu Feifei bit the raised skin on her lip, hesitated for a moment, and still said nothing, and quietly left the studio.
