I, the only superpower on earth

From this day on, Navalli officially entered the laboratory of Close AI and started the research work on "NLMR4".

The goal of "NLMR4" is to create a strong artificial intelligence capable of human-like perception and self-evolution. Fundamentally speaking, its origin is completely different from all previous AI-like programs including "NLMR3".

AI algorithms including "NLMR3" are all artificially trained.

Although the neural network algorithm model developed by using deep learning can create AI programs that seem to be able to talk to people, they are fundamentally still a simple structure that relies on human input data and then outputs it after integration.

Even the integration process has become more and more complicated due to the increasing use of computing power, and even has become a kind of "black box", and the explainability is getting worse and worse.

However, that is still not a real strong AI, and it is not spontaneous and inspiring. It requires humans to broaden its application fields one by one, and lay them on engineering pipelines one by one.

In the final analysis, it is still a "tool".

The goal of "NLMR4" is by no means such a "tool".

——This is something Navalli has known since the first day.

But after actually participating in it, he was still shocked by the level of Close AI.

...

"Hello, Navalli."

"Hello, Lucy."

"The weather is nice today, Navalli, but you don't seem to be in a good mood? Why?"

"...you misunderstood, my face has always been like this."

"Ah, sorry, I thought this expression was a sign of being unhappy—it seems that I still have a lot to learn."

"..."

Navalli tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and after more than half an hour of testing, he loosened his neck and left the lab table.

And just above the huge screen, the last words left by the AI ​​named "Lucy" in this conversation seem to be still burned in his retina - "It's a pleasure to talk to you! Navalli, Let's continue chatting next time."

And at this moment, another male voice came from beside my ear:

"How do you feel about our Miss 'Lucy', Navalli?"

The brown-haired man with sharp eyes smiled and handed him a bottle of mineral water, saying gently.

This man's name is Shivaduo, and he is the special director of the "NLMR4" laboratory.

To be able to become the highest-level laboratory director in Close AI, which is full of experts, Shivaduo's strength is naturally impressive.

According to the information that Navalli obtained from Sanders, Swadow already had more than a dozen top conferences as early as in college. And his doctoral dissertation "Self-inspired Research Based on Neural Network Algorithms" has become a near-milestone research in the field of NLP (Natural Language Processing), with nearly 10,000 citations so far.

And just after Swato graduated and entered Close AI, he never published a paper. Many people suspect that he encountered the "academia-industry" transition difficulties that many bigwigs will encounter in Close AI, but now it looks like the opposite is true - Swadow's non-publishing of papers is not due to lack of results, It's because the result is too advanced, so I want to reach the end in one go until I create a real strong AI.

However, such fruitful results can even be said to be among the top three in the entire AI field. After the arrival of Navari, instead of showing the slightest contempt for this man with no education and academic qualifications, he was full of curiosity about Navari. and attention.

"I have carefully studied the program you provided—it is ingeniously conceived and perfect. I would never have imagined such an exquisite segmentation algorithm."

Swato looked at Navari with falcon-like eyes, and asked again:

"What do you think of 'Lucy'?"

Navalli took the mineral water, did not drink it, thought for a while, and then replied:

"That's the strongest AI I've ever seen. No matter how you ask it from any angle, you can get an answer from the perspective of an ordinary person-'seems feasible'; and it can , to use other software and tools in a way similar to humans - to some extent, it is not much different from the 'strong AI' recognized by ordinary people."

Swadow stared at Navali without the joy of being praised, because this was not the answer he wanted.

"but?"

He prompted Navalli to go on.

"But ... framing issues and symbol grounding issues remain."

Navalli looked at him and replied.

"It is still difficult to understand the facts that are connected by abstract concepts. It can solve both the one problem and the other well-but, for those that build on both problems, What can be understood and responded naturally by human senses and intellect cannot be accurately grasped. And any human being, once he understands the first two questions, can answer the third question without any prior knowledge. question.

"...So, although 'Lucy' can answer most of the questions, its cognition still does not go beyond the boundaries of knowledge sources based on human annotation. Although I have not seen the whole picture of its algorithm and code, I can Definitely - its intelligent structure is still far from the real 'strong AI'."

This was a very rude judgment, making Swadow stare into his eyes and gradually narrowed his eyes.

It's getting tighter and more dangerous.

But Navalli looked at him blankly, as if he didn't know anything, without even a little sweat on his body.

for a long time.

The sudden smile on Shivato's face was as bright as the curtains that were suddenly opened. He grabbed Navali's hands and laughed loudly at him:

"Exactly! Even better than the best answer I imagined! Navalli, welcome to the 'NLMR4 Lab'!"

A stiff smile appeared on Navalli's face.

"It's my pleasure."

He knew very well that he had already passed the person in charge's entry test...or test.

However, there was neither sadness nor joy in his heart.

At this moment, there was only one faint thought in his mind:

"My plan...at this time, it finally officially started."

...

After entering the "NLMR4 Laboratory", Nava spent three days to understand and familiarize himself with the laboratory's past algorithm achievements.

According to the information obtained, this laboratory has been secretly conducting research work for more than three years, and at least hundreds of top engineers have left their dedicated achievements here.

With the vastness of those code bases and materials, it took even Navalli three days to roughly absorb them, and establish a framework for the current algorithm results, ai "Lucy", and then formally entered the working status.

——Of course, at this speed, even Swadow was a little dumbfounded, not to mention the reactions of other researchers. In Swadow's prediction, he would need at least half a month to start the preliminary work, and this was the result of his overestimation as much as possible.

After officially entering the working state, Navalli showed his unique side compared to other engineers.

He doesn't like to cooperate, he likes to be alone, to study silently, and he never expresses his ideas in exchange meetings.

In this regard, other engineers have a lot of dissatisfaction, but these voices of dissatisfaction have been suppressed by Swadow - he, like Sanders, is an inclusive genius.

Of course, this tolerance quickly paid off.

Ten days after Navalli entered the laboratory, he researched a new path, optimized the adaptability of "Lucy" on a large scale, and increased Lucy's mechanical synesthesia several times;

Eighteen days after entering the laboratory, he successfully optimized the algorithm of "Lucy", which raised "Lucy"'s ability to judge complex situations in a simulated environment to a higher level;

After entering the laboratory for nearly a month, Navalli further increased the natural modular logic ability of "Lucy", allowing her to improve the level of systematic logic within abstract concepts for the "natural world" that cannot be directly contacted outside the computer ...

With so many achievements, other engineers were finally convinced, and it also made Swadow and Sanders, who came to the laboratory from time to time to check the situation, have higher and higher evaluations of him.

If at the beginning, the two thought that he was a top genius who was "hopeful to win the Turing Award", then this evaluation has changed now.

— "He will be the Einstein of computing...and beyond."

Sanders said this when reporting the situation to Salman.

And this evaluation also made Salman think for half an hour on the chair in the office.

Then, he smiled.

"Very well, it seems that we should pay more attention to 'Mr. Genius'."

He smiled, got up from the desk, and ordered some things to the secretary.

So, that night, Navalli was invited by Salman to have dinner again.

I was too tired last night to update, so I went to bed directly.

I squeezed time today to update one chapter in the afternoon, and another chapter to update in the evening.
