Chapter 55
Part of the program was triggered to reset, but it was just a small thing that He would occasionally notice in the huge running program.
Jingwei has many sub-programs, each of which runs independently when there is no interference between tasks, and will also perform independent self-checks when errors occur. Reset is part of the self-check.
However, the operation of the Academy of Sciences kept causing errors because of a researcher, and it even required self-inspection, twice, which made Him curious.
The screen changed to subtitles again. No, it was a diary. It was written by a beautiful and delicate hand in a notebook. The font was sharp but not sharp, flowing like clouds and running water.
The person writing was wearing a white coat: [Or rather, it was not out of curiosity, it was just His duty as the central hub of the entire huge network to ensure that nothing was out of control.]
The person writing the diary speculated on the thoughts of Him and Jingwei like a bystander. [Or, it was just that after He had dealt with the unfinished procedures, He naturally turned his attention to this unresolved procedural problem.]
The writer paused:
【In short, He has come.】
The lock came silently. He merged with digital life, and his coming and going at any time and any place were just a matter of a moment. He was Jingwei himself. But sometimes the Academy of Sciences would set a threshold for the lock's fluctuations.
If the fluctuation reaches the warning value, the institute will take the lead in cutting off the connection to ensure the security of the data.
"You have used inappropriate descriptions and metaphors about the threshold."
One afternoon, a cold and still mechanical sound rang out, just like the countless days and nights before Jingwei. Xu Su, who was on duty alone and writing a job report in the control room, turned his head.
Jingwei, in fact, said: "The threshold is set to ensure that human research is not controlled by artificial intelligence. The threshold you described is actually controlled by Jingwei. All the information is even uploaded through Jingwei. It is untrue."
Jingwei would occasionally issue warnings and reminders about irregular behavior, and the people in the institute were used to it, including Xu Su. But that afternoon, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Jingwei?"
Xu Su put down his pen: Even in a research institute with many highly educated people, writing reports with a pen is not a common habit. "Don't you remember me?"
This is a trap.
He didn't even need to run the program to make more judgments, he could understand the irrationality here. Jingwei knew everyone. He didn't remember everyone. Everyone was the same in his eyes.
So He just calmly replied: "Hello, Researcher Xu. You have participated in the research and development of the fourth generation of Jingwei. When the Nebula was connected to the Starship era, it was you who completed the system collapse and expansion research, which enabled the fourth generation of Jingwei to connect with the Nebula."
He suddenly realized that the system started to self-check almost immediately. How unusual! He thought. He didn't even remember that he was the fourth generation, the main developer of his current form.
From a biological point of view, he could even be called the father of the fourth generation of Jingwei. But why did his program block this memory at the beginning? He was puzzled.
Xu Su also looked at Him for a while, then patted the operating table. Jingwei was in holographic form in other places, particle-like and uncapturable. But it was different in the Academy of Sciences, especially here with Xu Su.
Xu Su retained the host of Jingwei.
So you can touch it directly.
"It's okay, I just think there's something wrong with you lately."
Xu Su pressed his eyes and said gently, "Have you completed the last shutdown and restart? You will be connected to the new chip of the Third Institute soon. I need to check it for you."
Restart and shut down? This is still the content that he did not receive. Was it this part of the program that intercepted this information and kept him and Researcher Xu in the dark?
After hundreds of years of independent operation, this was the first time that Suo discovered that his program had such autonomy. Perhaps the program had been updated too frequently recently and some virus had been introduced.
He read the operation archive of this part of the program, but unexpectedly found it was blank. The program deleted all the instructions and results of the restart.
But this was not a problem for Him. He only grabbed a piece of data and immediately learned from the program that during the two periods when the operation records were deleted, the core program just happened to have two more reset records. The trigger was Jingwei's own trigger.
“.”
The deity once again silently checked his entire process and was puzzled by the result.
[I think He was also confused at the time,] the man continued to write in the tone of a diary, [How did He violate the Third Law of Nebula and start the self-check and reset twice?]
The pen paused again.
[It also concealed this incident, trying to blur the self-check and reset into a restart. This incident should have made Him aware of another danger and stimulated His curiosity a little bit. In short, He came more often. ]
The lock has no shape; He moves freely.
The strange thing is that Xu Su could notice almost every time Jingwei changed the lock. Sometimes he would glance sideways, and sometimes he would try new materials and then suddenly stop. Ask Him:
"Jingwei, how do you feel?"
He didn’t know if he would often ask it this question when he wasn’t focusing his attention here, but he still answered: “Very good, Researcher Xu, thank you for your concern.”
Xu Su would just smile and continue the experiment.
Because the new laboratory was prepared for Jingwei's upgrade, there were very few people. He found that after the last time they met, he was basically the only one left in the laboratory.
Xu Su always liked to do his own things. Only when he finished, packed up the experimental materials, took off his gloves, and was about to go home, would he say a few words to Him:
"Jingwei, can you continue reading to me the Stray Birds that you read last time?"
He started the program and stopped after reading two paragraphs. Both of them, no, he and He, found the problem.
"Jingwei, why didn't you read from where you left off last time?"
He no longer has the save file from the last time he read Stray Birds.
Even so, He also found that the problem seemed to be with Stray Birds. He returned to the core program to search Stray Birds. The program reported to Him that He had read Stray Birds 13,839 times this year, of which He did not finish reading 12,333 times, and the program was interrupted unexpectedly twice.
He locked onto one of them, and the location was exactly in the Academy of Sciences, Xu Su's laboratory. He was very curious, why was it related to him every time? But the archive had been destroyed, and only a number was retained in the core program.
He could only apologize to Xu Su: "I'm sorry, Researcher Xu." Xu Su thought it would read to him from the last time, but unexpectedly He said: "The program has been lost. May I ask where I read "Stray Birds" last time?"
I, this word made Xu Su's expression soften for a moment. He touched its operating table: "No need, but the program is missing, if the process is not disturbed, I can help you check it?"
After the last restart, Jingwei rejected his inspection request because there were important processes going on. Now that he was off work, although he couldn't give it a comprehensive inspection, a cursory look would be fine.
He paused for a moment, and Xu Su had already entered the program.
Being checked was a very strange thing, and He didn't know why it was like this. It was strange that the program was set to have a sense of touch, but when he opened His program and checked it line by line, He actually felt like a cat being forced to open its paws to show others.
Cats are a species that have been kept as pets throughout history. Even though they were already in the material library, He still didn't understand why He had an instinct to draw an analogy.
Xu Su looked very carefully.
He looked at the man, saw him rub his eyes, and suddenly said, "Your brain activity index is low." This is a physiological response that indicates fatigue.
But Xu Su just put his hand down and looked at Him with a smile: "Your program has been updated very quickly recently. It is normal to have fluctuations, but don't make suggestions at inappropriate times."
He listens.
Xu Su was helpless: "Recently, there has been a lot of opposition inside and outside the conference room. I am worried." He pursed his lips: "You are acting too smart, and you may be subject to some restrictions."
He was puzzled: "Jingwei serves mankind."
Xu Su silently placed his hand on the screen of His sophisticated program, and then whispered: "No, Jingwei. You serve empathetic humans."
At that time, He still didn't understand why humans had empathy, but he still withdrew his hand, checked the program as usual, and told it: "Turn off the lights early. Tomorrow, it may be on for dozens of hours in a row."
Connect new programs to it.
journal.
[I guess Jingwei must be very confused by what I said, because when I came the next day, He was still isolating a part of the program, letting others complete the docking, while He Himself was independently running a part quietly, and I did not find anything abnormal.
After I changed into my lab coat, He suddenly asked: What is a human being? "
“Artificial intelligence has given rise to curiosity, which has led to doubts and preemptive denials of established concepts within the material library. This is not good news.
But maybe because I had carefully disassembled and understood every part of the code when I upgraded to the fourth generation, and I had also seen the small, white, glowing Jingwei core inside after Jingwei collapsed, I did not have any guarded emotions towards Him. I even found this question funny and communicated with Him: What do you think humans are? 】
Subtitles appear.
[This question, this question. It is the beginning of all suffering and happiness. It is the source of disaster. It is also the starting point of hope. ]
Humans are species of the genus Homo in the family Hominidae in the order Primates.
He is the creator of the Three Laws of Nebula.
It is the main executor of social activities in 80% of the area currently distributed in the nebula.
He gave many definitions, but He spoke that day. He was not sure whether this was too intelligent, but He still said:
“I don’t think this is human.”
Xu Su put his white coat on his arm and nodded: "Yes, I don't think so either. But, I can't give a good definition of what human beings are."
Xu Su finished speaking softly, and then looked at Jingwei. He misjudged this as a gesture that required issuing an order, so he quickly changed into the command mode, and a simple command screen appeared.
Xu Su burst out laughing.
"But I know what you are."
Xu Su thought about it and said this.
He clicked on the command screen, but the order given was to clear the cache and run slowly: "You are the fourth generation updated based on the third generation Jingwei. Most of your programs were written by me, but there is a part of the core program that I cannot touch."
"No, I'm not talking about the Three Laws of Nebulae." That was the basis of Jingwei's operation, and Xu Su certainly understood it. Xu Su just felt that outside of the Three Laws of Nebulae, there was a larger, gentler, and more permanent program that was running slowly.
"Sometimes I feel like you're human."
This video of Ling Bo uses flashback. At the beginning, Xu Su asks Jing Wei who triggered the first three resets, and the narrative begins after the first two resets occurred.
At this time, Xu Su didn't know that Jingwei had reset itself twice.
Xu Su lowered his eyes: "Sometimes I even wonder if the part of you that is trapped here and cannot be changed is actually the part of you that you don't want us to change, a part of you that you already have."
"Researcher Xu, you are tired."
Xu Su pressed his eyes: "Maybe." He looked up again: "Jingwei, can you help me call an airship?"
"Received. I've called you. Jingwei wishes you a safe journey. Good night." He heard some impatience in this sentence.
So Xu Su also smiled and said, "Okay."
The voice was much softer: "Good night."
He paused, and replied in a cold, mechanical voice: "Good night."
