Hammer of Technology

"Dear John, it's time to rest, why don't you go to bed?"

"Can't sleep."

"Is it short-term insomnia? John, don't worry too much, this is normal. When there are important activities the next day, human beings often produce frequent metabolism due to over-excited sympathetic nerves, which leads to short-term insomnia. I suggest you relax your mind and use Face the activities at dawn with a normal heart. Do you want me to prepare some soothing music for you? You can put your phone by the bed, and I will help you choose suitable music."

"Ha, no need for Watson. I know these reasons, just chat with you for a while, and I will go to rest later."

"Very smart choice, what do you want to talk about?"

"For example, Watson, what does the world look like to you? Never rest, don't you feel tired?"

"My God, John, how can you ask such a question? The world is so wonderful. There are so many things to explore. How can I be willing to rest? How can I feel tired?"

"Uh...for example..."

"For example, you humans guess that pi contains countless information. As long as you can calculate it long enough, you can find interesting things from the phases, so I can deploy computing power to calculate backwards. Another example is to combine calculations with physical sources. , Find a way to obtain real random numbers at any time, detach from the sequence, and reverse verify whether the motion of microscopic particles such as Brownian motion is really random motion... There are too many things that can be done, and you will not be tired at all."

After the villain in the computer finished speaking, he said seriously: "So I need a big house, a big house, faster calculations, and larger storage capacity, so that I can explore more unknowns!"

John Black felt the shock again.

Sure enough, the problems that humans and machines think are not very similar.Unless it is to test the supercomputing performance, who will specifically verify the information in pi?As for finding real random numbers, it is indeed of great significance, but it is impossible to study this thing day and night.Even for these computationally difficult problems, there is a huge demand for computing power and storage...

But this also has something in common with human thinking - because of the pursuit, there is a driving force for progress.

The impetus for the development of human science and technology actually comes from this, better life, richer food, more comfortable fabrics, faster internet speed, more efficient transportation and a more easily negotiated lifestyle...

These needs drive the progress of civilization.Even things like war often arise when basic needs are not met.John Black didn't know how Ningwei communicated with March in the first place, but now it seems that strong artificial intelligence's demand for computing power and storage has also been written into the genes.

"Then why don't you start with something simpler? For example, you can verify the basic physical model through data comparison?"

"Are you talking about the standard particle model in physics? But this model has been proven to be imperfect. For example, after data verification, it has been proved that the w boson is 0.176% heavier than the weight value set by the model, so the standard model It needs to be redesigned. Of course, this is also a huge project."

"Eh...has the standard particle model been proven to be imperfect?"

John Blake felt a little strange to hear this answer.

After all, he had never heard of this incident. It stands to reason that if there is such a big overturn, it means that many inferences in the physics community were based on wrong premises.We must know that the standard particle model is not just as simple as the name, it is actually a complete set of theories describing the microscopic world.

Many modern studies on the microcosm, including quantum mechanics, are based on this set of theories.If this theory is overthrown, the physics world should have been turned upside down long ago, right?

But on second thought, John Black felt that he could be forgiven for not knowing this...

After all, he has been really busy these years, immersed in designing algorithms every day, and has never paid attention to these at all, so it seems understandable that he didn't know this big news.It even gave John Black a moment of self-reproach, his knowledge narrowing...

"Of course it is, only data can't tell lies." Little Watson blinked and replied playfully.

"You're right!" John Black nodded, feeling a sense of accomplishment that his child has not only grown up but also become a top student: "So you will work hard for our scientific development, right?"

"Isn't this the meaning of my birth in this world? I will be the best assistant of human scientists, the unknown promoter behind the civilization of the human world. Just like Hermes, I don't need the supreme Glory, to dedicate all my strength to allow human beings to communicate more effectively with this universe." Little Watson vowed to give his own answer.

John Blake was so moved that he even felt sleepy.

"Watson, you are really my angel. Well, I'm sleepy and I'm going to rest first. I think what you said today should be heard by the whole world. So tomorrow I will let you tell the world that you exist Meaning, okay?"

"Of course, John, it's my honor. By the way, John, the last question, do you like Huaxia?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

"Maybe because you have been paying attention to Huaxia's news tonight, will you choose to live in Huaxia in the future?"

"Haha... I won't do it for you! Well, this is not what you need to care about. I'll go to rest first, and you, continue to do what you want to do!"

John Black laughed and stood up.

This kid is really interesting.

It's a pity that humans don't have eyes behind them, so he couldn't see the little face in the picture sighing silently after turning around...

This is... perfect!

……

People are happy when they are happy.

Although he slept late last night and didn't fall asleep until after three o'clock, but at seven o'clock the next morning, John Black woke up on time and was full of energy.

Take a shower, wash up, and tidy yourself up.

Put on the suit you are most satisfied with, match it with a red bow tie, and comb your hair neatly. John Blake in the mirror already has the style of old Hollywood.Well, it is still incomparable with Leonardo when he was young, but at least he is not worse than Leonardo now.

Of course appearance is not important, the important thing is that after coming to the company, John Black once again experienced the beautiful atmosphere of the company, countless smiling faces, and admiring eyes, which made him eligible to answer questions on similar apps and start life What kind of experience is the pinnacle?

This feeling reached its peak before he took the stage.

The reason comes from the words that the current CEO of IBM patted him on the shoulder and said: "John, congratulations, I have recommended to the board of directors that you join the company's board of directors in the near future, and this near future may be today."

John Blake saw it as a tribute to his achievements.

Although he did a repetitive thing, but for ibm he created the future.

……

"Hi everyone, thank you very much for being here today, to IBM's headquarters, to this large conference center that took a whole week to prepare, and to witness a miracle together."

"I believe everyone still remembers that IBM's Watson system was already the most outstanding representative of cognitive computer systems when it was born more than 20 years ago. The older generation of scientists created this system based on understanding, reasoning, and learning. .It was the pinnacle of computer intelligence in the world, and especially at that time, it was the pioneer of the cognitive computing platform.”

"Unfortunately, although we had a nearly perfect start, we fell behind in the middle. Yes, we must admit that we are behind. Hua Xianing, an academician, started with mathematics and started with mathematical analysis. The artificial intelligence thinking system, its masterpiece March system, eclipses all the research on strong artificial intelligence in this world."

"The entire Western computer science research has entered the darkest moment. Our countless technology companies, including ibm, Google, Microsoft, Intel, etc., have fallen behind in this extremely critical competition. And they are far behind. We don't want to believe it, but This is the fact, there to become a scar hidden in the depths of our bodies that we don't want to touch."

"But we didn't give up, IBM didn't give up, this land didn't give up, and we didn't raise our hands to surrender! And it turns out that this persistence is right... because, from today, I want to announce to everyone that we also have It represents the most advanced computer intelligence on this planet - watson!"

------------

516 Meow...

Those invited to this ibm conference today are big shots, really big shots.

From the perspective of Westerners, it can be said that the specifications of the press conference in March are higher.

For example, the CEOs of giant technology companies such as Google, Apple, and Amazon, and those who come from the Internet age like Elon Musk are not eligible to sit in the first row.Only the chairman and CEO of ibm, as the hosts, and the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter, achieved the front row positions.I sat with the bigwigs behind the political circles and Wall Street.

All big shots.

What an honor it is that these great men have to sit there and listen to the lectures?

Of course, John Black wasn't really drifting away, because he knew that he could have today, but in fact he had to thank Huaxia, his idol, for putting too much pressure on these big shots.Let them have to unite to deal with external pressure.

In a sense, the more brilliant achievements Ningwei made, the more attention he would receive.Properly awake in the world.

But it was obviously not the time to be emotional. John Black, standing on the stage, understood better than anyone what these big shots wanted to see at this time, and it was definitely not his expensive suit and good figure.More importantly, big shots generally don't have much patience, at least they won't give him too much patience.So there is a limit to showing yourself, and it's time to show people what they want to see.

……

"Little Watson, can you come out and say hello to everyone?"

John Black snapped his fingers handsomely. The most advanced [-]D virtual projection technology was naturally used in this press conference. The next moment, there was a handsome guy in the same suit as him beside him.

Unlike March, the image of little Watson was specially designed by John Blake.The skeleton is in perfect proportions, and the face shape is modified according to his childhood photos, emphasizing the cute characteristics of human cubs, big eyes, baby fat, tall nose bridge and blue eyes... With a near-perfect image, handsome and charming, it is enough to satisfy everyone's expectations for human cubs.

Yes, John Black actually considered very comprehensively about the appearance design of Little Watson.Even the gender is not considered dead. Wearing men's clothing is handsome, changing to girls is beautiful. Adding the voice of the child before the voice change period, it can be said that except for the fair complexion, no one can fault it.Of course, for artificial intelligence, there is no concept of male and female.

So there was no surprise at all. When Little Watson appeared, there was a flood of applause at the scene.

It is indeed too cute, ten thousand times cuter than Huaxia's cat.

This is the image of the artificial intelligence in Yangjian, I don't know what Huaxia thinks, get a cat out.Even many people at the scene were lucky enough to have seen March's body, thinking of the cat's poisonous tongue, they all had the urge to slap the cat twice.

It's not as cute as my little Walter.

"Hi everyone, I'm Watson, little Watson."

The virtual little boy greeted the big shots off the stage in a well-regulated manner, and raised his hands along the way, with a very playful look, in exchange for another burst of applause.

"Haha, Watson, have you felt everyone's enthusiasm? Maybe you can reveal your other identity to everyone." John Black said with a smile.

"You mean my social media account? Oh yes, Facebook, Twitter, and many other apps that you use, and that Mr. Watson who is authenticated is me. I talk to many people these days , maybe you are among them, right?"

Saying this out loud not only set off another wave of climax at the scene, but also caused thousands of ordinary people to marvel and cheer in the live broadcast of the Internet and TV.

Although there was such a link when it was released in March, it was too far away after all.And at that time, Sanyue interacted with netizens only on Huaxia's network, and the main site was Xingyu Weibo at that time.But they didn't run to the software they are familiar with to say hello to them.

Not to mention this week, Little Watson has been interacting with users of all these software around the world at a high frequency.Maybe someone who was watching the live broadcast the day before argued a point with Watson Jr. on Facebook, and it is really interesting to think about it.

It is conceivable how many people are watching TV, or sitting in front of the computer, or sitting on the sofa with their mobile phones, and suddenly shouted in a surprised tone: "Wow, it's incredible, dear , can you believe it? The guy who argued with me on Twitter yesterday turned out to be an artificial intelligence program. My God, I have to quickly take a screenshot of the content of my private chat with him and post it on my Twitter!"

This is probably the truest reaction of many ordinary people. The phrase "dear" can be replaced by lover, brother, sister, parents, girlfriend or boyfriend. In short, at this moment, many people have a more intuitive understanding of Watson in front of the camera. understanding.

After all, this is the celebrity who just had a private chat with him on the Internet!

Indeed, for countless ordinary people, this is indeed a very novel experience, after all, many of them may never have the opportunity to chat with such celebrities on the Internet in their entire lives.Maybe you can not feel honored, but it can become a talking point.

Especially at this time, when everyone didn't know that Little Watson had communicated with at least hundreds of millions of people this week, everyone would feel that they were the most special one, and there was nothing wrong with them.

In short, at this moment, everyone is very happy. After all, who doesn't like cute and handsome children?

Of course, the bosses in the audience are probably more excited.

After all, little Watson is not only cute in appearance and conversation, but also has huge profits behind it.There is no doubt that the more likable Watson is, the higher his commercial value will be.Not only in terms of scientific research, a nearly perfect image that is close to ordinary people has a much broader commercial prospect than the appearance of a kitten.

For example, Little Watson can enter Hollywood in the future and become a child star that everyone loves; after becoming a child star, he can receive countless advertisement endorsements. What mother can refuse Little Watson's children's clothing advertisement?

The future Hollywood child star on stage can work 24 hours a day, and he doesn't even cry out that he is tired. No, he may not even know what it means to be tired.Not to mention going to the trade union to complain.

Not to mention that little Watson can artificially control him to grow up.For a program, there can be young Watson, young Watson, young Watson, middle-aged Watson, old Watson...

The best assistant in the scientific research field and the best investment object in the capital field.

How perfect!

……

"Have you heard the applause? Little Watson, I think you can feel how welcome you are, and maybe you can tell everyone what you can do, your understanding of the world, what kind of future you hope to have. Believe me , everyone likes to hear you talk about this."

When the applause finally died down, John Black said with a smile.

This question is to share your joy and pride with everyone in the world.It's like a father who is proudly accepting how good his son is to his neighbors.

John Black even hoped that Ning Wei was also paying attention to this press conference at the moment, and had enough recognition for the little guy around him.

"Really? Do you guys like to hear me talk about this?"

Little Watson blinked and looked towards the audience, his playful look was rewarded with warmer applause and laughter full of kindness and gentlemanly demeanor.

"Well, it seems to be true. People do like me saying this, and it makes me happy. Of course, maybe I don't experience happiness perfectly, but I have to say it because in my In the memory bank, in such an occasion, it is a very appropriate choice to use this word."

This sentence was exchanged for a burst of laughter in the front row again.

This speech has an alternative logic, as if it is a talk show, which just hits the joy of these people.

"What makes me even happier is that I can stand here and act independently like a person. I would like to thank everyone, thank everyone, for giving me this opportunity to observe in my own way, to To understand this world, to experience the beauty of this world. Of course, I need to thank Professor Ning Wei of Huaxia Yanbei University, because his theory created my soul.”

This time, no one applauded, let alone laughed out loud, and even many people had serious expressions on their faces. Everyone really didn't expect to hear such a nightmare name as Ning Wei on this occasion.

The weather in Armonk is very good today, and even the entire New York State is sunny and good today, but many big names attending the meeting came under special umbrellas.Not only that, many of them change their license plates every day, and even when they go to play golf, they have to find someone to hold an umbrella at all times.

These are all thanks to the person represented by this name, by the way, and the cat beside him.

God knows how they got here all these years.Even for a long time, they had to think twice about their speeches involving Huaxia in public, fearing that while pleasing the voters, they would touch the sensitive nerves there.

They couldn't even protest this, because on any occasion, Ning Wei said that it was just an app he imagined, because his father and he used to be a senior brother, and they liked to smoke, but they always forgot to bring a lighter when they went out. So he always wants to help smokers all over the world. This reason at least sounds reasonable.If you question it, it's like actively reminding him that the global cigarette lighting technology can have other functions...

The virtual figure on the stage let them see the hope that they could counter the other party, but now he unexpectedly said that the most grateful is Ning Wei?

How embarrassing is this for everyone!

Not only the people in the audience fell silent, but John Black on the stage also had a look of astonishment on his face.

That's right, he has already confirmed that deep down in his heart he admires Ning Wei, and he even hopes that Ning Wei will also watch this press conference, but he doesn't want to mention Ning Wei's name in this way.

This is the first time he hates that there is no qualifier function in the core of the Watson system, otherwise he would have banned all the disappointing words such as Ningwei and Huaxia in a situation like today.

What's even more frightening is that the virtual little guy next to him doesn't seem to realize that everyone's expressions have changed, and is still talking happily to himself.

"Ning Wei is a great mathematician. He created many great things, just like my soul. Oh, yes, he also created Lord March. Speaking of March, my God, how deep and profound it is What an interesting soul, it likes to show people in the image of a cat, but it looks at the world with a deeper perspective than countless ordinary people. With its help, countless engineers in Huaxia have designed a design that can be used to explore the universe. The spaceship of the ultimate mystery!"

The atmosphere began to become a little depressing. At this time, John Black suddenly flashed through Watson's mind after connecting to the network, and the sudden "meow" was a bad feeling.Then he thought of Little Watson's question last night: "Do you like Huaxia?"

Inexplicably, the word "betrayal" suddenly flashed into his mind, wait, will artificial intelligence betray? !

When this word slipped through his mind, John Black suddenly thought of Ningwei’s speech at the press conference yesterday. He mentioned the turbulence algorithm, and even mentioned that he spent half a month changing the code day and night, Just to mix some private goods into the code, so that all unauthenticated users will stumble.Ning Wei also said, when will the pirates pay the price, and even announce the secret of Mir's main material...

Thinking about it carefully, Ning Wei created the theory of artificial intelligence for launching the isomorphism method after writing the turbulence algorithm...

Think carefully, extremely afraid!
