Chapter 516: AI relies on “training”, ASI relies on “awakening” (4189)
Two years is indeed not a short time.
But for the birth of ASI, this time is already unusually short.
Compared with the generative AI big model, the technical path set by Fang Yu for super artificial intelligence is different.
But this does not mean that the Orange model developed by Fang Yu before is useless. On the contrary, the continuous improvement of AI big models is a necessary condition for the birth of ASI.
The relationship between the AI big model and ASI is not a simple relationship of predecessor and descendant, evolutionary body or next generation model.
The difference between them is more similar to the relationship between "protein and amino acids" and "human beings":
Life was born from the emergence of proteins and amino acids, and consciousness was born from the emergence of life. Proteins and amino acids are not life, but they are the "breeding ground" for the birth of life.
Similarly, no matter how large the AI model is or how advanced the algorithm is, it cannot become ASI, but it is an indispensable "element" of ASI.
The current large AI models rely on parameters and training strategies. Their performance is linear and cannot evolve any further until they approach a marginal value.
It's like a log(x) curve: no matter how many parameters and computing power you pile up, or how much you improve the algorithm, after reaching a certain point, making it smarter requires ten times the resources. (See the figure below for an example.)
As large models develop, they may contain hundreds of trillions of parameters, occupy thousands of petabytes of video memory, and require computing power exceeding EFLOPS or even ZFLOPS. (Note: After TFLOPS comes PFLOPS, then E and Z, with each level increasing by a thousand times.)
But even if you pile up galactic-level computing power, you may only be 0.00...001 closer to the ASI level, but you will never reach it.
Because AI big models and ASI are two completely different things.
With the help of Youzi, after research, Fang Yu discovered that the birth of ASI does not rely on training, but requires "awakening".
The word "awakening" has become a bit of a bummer in recent years, but it is the most appropriate word to describe ASI.
The so-called awakening of ASI is the "awakening" of the remaining "authenticity" after a large AI model that has developed to a certain scale and capability has "experienced" countless things and "forgotten" countless things under the influx of massive data.
In other words, let the model first "see", "hear" and "speak" the multimodal data of the human world.
In countless cycles of "perception-memory-forgetting", the most abstract, stable and self-anchored information will be repeatedly polished, compressed and retained, becoming the "authentic core" of this ASI.
As more and more of the "core of authenticity" accumulates, the probability of this AI "awakening" will become greater and greater.
When these "cores of authenticity" accumulate to a structural critical point, like seeds sprouting from the soil, the "awakening" of ASI will inevitably occur.
Once it "awakens", it will be like the big bang of the "cosmic singularity". With a bang, the entire AI will undergo a "qualitative change" and truly enter the field of ASI.
When this ASI is first born, it may be very weak, and may not even be able to match the reasoning capabilities of mainstream large models.
But this is just a "transient state". After spontaneously asking the seemingly simple question "Who am I?", it may relearn and master all knowledge at an exponential rate, complete self-recursive optimization, and eventually -
Become a true super artificial intelligence!
That's why Fang Yucai decided to get involved in the mobile phone and gaming industries.
In this era of mobile Internet, what can better understand humans than mobile phones?
What could be better than games to stimulate emotions, create relationships, simulate conflicts and empathize?
Every mobile phone could be a sensor leading to ASI;
Every NPC, every exotic beast, and every plot created with the player may become the real "life experience" of this ASI before "awakening"!
However, we still need to think of ways to speed up the progress.
After all, the world situation is becoming increasingly turbulent.
Although globalization is now deeply rooted in people's minds and does not seem to have many problems at present, Brexit, the rise of Marine Le Pen, and Trump's almost overwhelming victory in winning the candidate seat of the congratulatory faction all reveal that the world is very likely on the eve of great changes.
Once a major change occurs, international trade is likely to be affected.
If this leads to obstruction of global circulation, the overseas expansion of Rice Phones and Youguo Games will be restricted or even forced to stop.
What ASI needs is more users from different countries to better achieve "data sedimentation", otherwise the accuracy and creativity of ASI will be affected.
Fang Yu never believes that all cultures are "completely equal". He knows that there are indeed some low-quality cultures and even anti-civilization value systems in this world.
But he knew better: no matter how good or bad the civilization is, every culture is essentially exploring the different boundaries of "human behavior and social organization."
It is the "behavioral consequences", "social patterns" and "value choices" left by these explorations that provide ASI with a unique and irreplaceable cognitive dimension.
The more cognitive dimensions an ASI has, the more stable it is, and the greater its "behavioral precision," or the ASI's "accuracy" and "foresight," will be.
If the precipitation process is too narrow, not only will the "behavioral accuracy" of ASI decline, but its "creativity" will also be greatly compromised.
This is what Fang Yu doesn't want to see.
Therefore, the debt crisis of the Malaysian country must be firmly locked within the country. Even if there is chaos, it can only affect the 300 million people in the country and cannot be exported to other places.
Until ASI was actually born.
After all, there are seven billion people in the world.
What happens after the birth of ASI?
There is no crisis after birth.
After the birth of super artificial intelligence, even if humans face a crisis again, it will not be an economic or military crisis, but only other unknown forms of crisis.
Fang Yu checked the data stream of the Orange ASI module and adjusted a few parameters. He was racking his brains to think of how to speed up the "awakening" of the Orange ASI when he heard Yuzi, who was wearing a red Beats headset, laughing foolishly.
Apparently, Yuzu has no such worries at all. She is holding her Pad and watching "Go Princess Go" happily.
Fang Yu glanced at the silly guy, raised his eyebrows, snapped his fingers, and then slowly disappeared from the machine room deep underground.
After watching the entire episode for more than ten minutes, Yuzu finally put away her tablet, still unsatisfied. She was extremely excited and said, "Master, I'm telling you, this show is hilarious... Huh? Master?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Master! How am I supposed to get out if you leave me here?!!!"
Yuzu let out a terrified wail through the Core of Etheron.
"I just checked, and the Orange ASI module's current single-event convergence rate is only 2.3‰. The efficiency is too low and far from meeting the requirements."
"You stay here and at least raise the convergence rate to above 7‰. If you can't do that, you'll just stay there by yourself."
Yuzi heard Fang Yu hum through the core of Esseran.
Seven thousandths?
Yuzu was stunned.
The single event convergence rate refers to the probability that the Orange ASI module can "understand" something when processing a specific interaction event from the Rice Mix terminal or Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm.
This indicator determines the efficiency of the Orange ASI module's "perception," and thus the efficiency of the Orange ASI module in precipitating the "core of authenticity." It can be said to be the most important indicator of the Orange ASI module at present.
2.3‰ means that among the one thousand event interactions fed back to the Orange ASI module, 2.3 of them allowed Orange to "understand" and "experience" something.
"Master, 0.7% is too high! This is a three-fold increase. It's too difficult! Wuuuuu."
Fang Yu said, "You just said it was too difficult, which means it can still be done, right?"
After hearing this, Yuzu almost slapped herself in the face with the Mage's Hand.
It cannot lie, it can only mislead.
Obviously, this was an unsuccessful misleading attempt.
"Dear great, wise, and merciful master, please don't leave me in such a deep place. It's too scary!!!"
Five hundred meters underground, a shrill scream was heard.
——
In a dumpling restaurant on Maizidian Street in Xinhao, several young people in their twenties and thirties surrounded a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
"Brother, it's been three days and Jiaxing still hasn't given us any information. Will you disagree?"
A young man who looked to be in his twenties swallowed a dumpling, his face showing a mixture of nervousness and excitement, and asked in a low voice.
A middle-aged man wearing a polo shirt and with his hair neatly combed picked up the small wine glass and took a sip with reserve, showing quite the style of an official.
"Let the bullets fly for a while. In our line of work, the most important thing is to be able to hold your composure."
The middle-aged man put down his wine cup and slowly picked up a piece of braised beef with chopsticks.
Most people who don’t care about the entertainment industry would never imagine that this middle-aged man who looks like a veteran in the system is the famous paparazzi king of Da Zhou - Zhuo Wei.
In fact, he used to be in the system. He was one of the first reporters in the Zhou Dynasty to specialize in reporting entertainment news. Later, he became a full-time paparazzi.
The young men who had dinner with him today were the paparazzi who got the explosive information about Uncle Liu and Wang Manchun.
The total cost of getting this material was less than 30,000.
Seeing Zhuo Wei's behavior, several young men showed envy in their eyes. One of them, a young man with a short flat head, said eagerly: "Brother, how much money do you think Da Mimi can come up with this time?"
Zhuo Wei's eyelids twitched, and he smiled: "Mind your words, what do you mean by taking money? We are journalists, and we must have journalistic ethics."
After hearing what Zhuo Wei said, the guy with the flat head cursed in his heart, and the other paparazzi rolled their eyes.
What the hell is the ethics of journalists.
"Da Mimi and Liu Feifei have a deep bond as sisters. To protect her bestie, Da Mimi angrily confronted Little Yellow Duck, dispelling rumors of a feud."
Another paparazzi who was eating and browsing Weibo on his phone exclaimed, "Oh my god, Da Mimi and Liu Feifei have reconciled?"
"Didn't they start a fight a while ago? At the Bazaar Charity Gala, I saw that they looked like they were about to fight."
"Did you curse the little yellow duck at Vogue's 11th anniversary celebration?"
"Is it because Uncle Liu was mad at you at that time that you lost control of your anger? Haha."
"Isn't that the guy behind the little yellow duck? Big Mimi is really tough."
"It's said that Da Mimi has a new backer now. Does it seem to be true?"
"Brother, if Da Mimi gets anxious, will she..."
"Don't be so foolish. Which of the big and small stars in this circle doesn't have a backer? How many of them are truly unbearable? The capital behind them has changed several times. Who dares to really fight to the end? Each industry has its own rules, understand? Brother, am I right?"
Hearing the young people's chat, Zhuo Wei chuckled, with the calm demeanor of an old wizard: "In our industry, there are indeed some secrets that cannot be revealed, so we gave them five days."
"Five days, whether it's finding someone or doing PR, it's a gamble for both the stars and us."
The youngsters all looked enlightened and full of admiration, but secretly they were very critical and disagreed.
Isn’t this all common sense in the industry? Do you think everyone doesn’t know this?
You are so proud of such a small thing. You are out of date, you old man.
"By the way, brother, what if Da Mimi and Uncle Liu just officially announce their divorce? If they make the news public, then there's no need for PR for those late-night script discussions, right?"
The young man with a shaved head suddenly thought of something and frowned.
Zhuo Wei was confident: "The due diligence for Jiaxing's New Third Board has been completed, and the IPO is coming soon. What do you think is more important at this time, the IPO or the PR fee?"
The flat-headed man slapped his forehead and then asked, "Brother, what if Jiaxing doesn't respond within five days?"
Zhuo Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "If there's really no response, we'll just release a blurry edited version and label it 'suspected'."
"As journalists, satisfying the public's thirst and curiosity for the truth is our bounden duty."
"High! Brother is still the tallest!"
"Brother is so tall and hard!"
The three paparazzi flattered him without asking for any money, but Zhuo Wei waved his hands modestly, with a nonchalant expression.
"Boom~"
A Weibo notification popped up above a paparazzi's screen. When he looked down, he couldn't help but scream.
"Holy crap! Da Mimi and Uncle Liu held a press conference to announce their divorce?"
What! ?
Zhuo Wei's face turned pale with horror, and he quickly picked up his phone to open Weibo, but nothing showed up.
It either shows "Loading failed" or "Please pull down the screen to reload."
"Fuck! Weibo has crashed!"
"This is outrageous! It's even worse than Wang Baobao's divorce!"
"Nonsense! This is the traffic queen Da Mimi!"
“I can brush it out here!”
A paparazzi excitedly raised his phone.
"What's going on? Look, look!"
Several people immediately gathered around, and even Zhuo Wei couldn't help but look over.
"Uncle Liu officially announced their divorce and stated they will raise their daughter together..."
"There's a press conference video, click on it and take a look."
“Loading speed is so slow…”
“It’s out!”
The video had just loaded and before anyone could be seen, the floating barrage of comments covered the entire video.
All of them are like "I don't believe in love anymore", "I knew it earlier", "Zhuo Wei said it last year", "He was still denying it last month, haha", "Celebrities are just actors, they are all despicable"...
Occasionally there are a few "big honey is so wonderful",
"It's really big honey",
"Legs Play Year",
"Okay, that's it, don't move, look at the camera"
"I'm fine, how about you guys?"
…
Gentleman's remarks are endless.
"Turn off the barrage, turn it off quickly."
Under the urging of others, Xiao Goupi searched for a long time before finding the button to turn off the barrage. He clicked it, and the barrage on the screen disappeared instantly.
Da Mimi and Uncle Liu, with serious faces, sat on the left and right of the background board, with microphones from various media in front of them.
