Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 360: Bury Deeper
Chen Yiran didn't actually want to rush things. After the initial excitement, his desire to explore had gradually subsided, and laziness had taken over again. He really wanted to simply hand everything over to his subordinates and let them handle it themselves; after all, he was still young and had plenty of time.
However, his project team was rather abnormal; they were all elderly people on the verge of death. It wasn't entirely out of fear of death, but rather a desire to see the future of humanity before they died. Good or bad, they wanted to witness it firsthand, even if Chen Yiran would personally ignite the foundation for humanity's destruction.
Therefore, these invincible old men and women unleashed almost the strongest power of their lives, leaving Chen Yiran no time to rest.
They were all invincible individuals who no longer cared about ethical issues, and even the disciples they initially recruited were without problems; Chen Yiran hadn't invited them to his meeting. Those who truly needed reassurance were the hundred-odd research staff who had only recently arrived on the island.
They were basically lured here by their advisors. Although they didn't know the overall direction of the project, they could tell from their daily work, unless they were idiots or had gone through a fairly standard university course, that this research institute was definitely up to something.
Some of the bolder ones have already privately inquired with management whether the company is really going to cross any ethical boundaries in its research. They're not exactly moral exemplars; most are just worried about their own future and afraid of being held liable if anything goes wrong.
At this moment, more than a hundred people were led to an auditorium. Everyone was a little uneasy, and the security personnel around them looked at them almost like prisoners.
The researchers present were finally relieved when Chen Yiran arrived. With the richest man present, a slight increase in security didn't seem so unacceptable. Afterwards, Amit and his team distributed a booklet to each researcher.
Chen Yiran didn't lay any groundwork or preach any grand principles; he just laid his cards on the table.
"I believe you all suspect that the research our project team is currently conducting may contain some aspects that deviate from conventional ethical norms. I can tell you very clearly, yes, there will definitely be some aspects that deviate from conventional ethical norms, and I don't intend to go through any complicated procedures to ensure ethical compliance."
The reason you were selected is definitely because you are connected with the senior professors in the project team. They are your mentors, or your mentors' mentors, or even your mentors' mentors' mentors.
That's why I'm unwilling to wait. Some of the older professors might not even last two months. I don't have the time to argue about ethical issues; I just want to get started.
The booklets in your hands contain your tasks for the next phase. For the next month or so, you will have no holidays whatsoever. I believe that as senior scholars, you are no strangers to this kind of workload, and I am confident that you can complete the task.
If our project is successfully completed in two months, regardless of the final outcome, each of you who completes the task on time will receive a reward of $1.5 million. If everyone completes the task, each of you will receive an additional $1 million.
And if our experiment succeeds, and we get a very good result, you will all receive an additional $1.5 million.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we be satisfied with the current AI craze? Yes, AI is becoming more and more advanced, and has even begun to tackle many mathematical problems. Although our Aurora chips are trying their best to make them sparse and use tensor cores.
However, the degree and mechanism are incomparable. I can say that I am the person who understands AI the most in the world. No matter how our current chips evolve, sparsity is still static and preset.
We need wet parts!
We will be among the people who truly change the world. I believe we will be the kind of people who shake the entire world. A brand new world is about to begin, and we are the initiators of this great undertaking, and you are all part of it!
I believe that as scholars, regardless of your doubts, you all want to see the results, right?
I know some people are terrified, or some harbor ill intentions. I can reiterate that past transgressions are forgiven. As long as you dedicate yourselves to the aurora borealis in the future, the aurora borealis will not let you down.
Most of the people in the audience felt a surge of excitement; they were all biologists, and most of them couldn't overcome that deep-rooted scientific research impulse.
What biologist wouldn't want to be Victor Frankenstein and create a monster?
However, some people's eyes began to look confused and conflicted. They knew that they seemed to have been exposed and hesitated whether to continue their actions.
Chen Yiran didn't say anything more, announced the start of the banquet, told the hundred-plus people to eat and drink well, and then left.
Amit followed beside her and asked softly, "I've prepared everyone. What if they remain stubborn?"
Chen Yiran knew that this was a crucial moment.
Commercial espionage and technological espionage are quite common, even common knowledge. It's not like the clandestine infiltration and intelligence-stealing depicted in novels.
Usually, it involves bribing staff to pass on some basic information. No one believes that bribing people will actually grant them mastery of the technology; most of the time, it's just about gaining a cost advantage.
For cutting-edge research, a single direction can mean saving tens of millions of dollars in trial-and-error costs. When technology is lacking, these unorthodox methods are often used to survive and seek a turnaround.
Furthermore, many researchers sign agreements, but you can't monitor them indefinitely after they leave. If they go on a trip and whisper something, it's impossible to find out.
If the normal approach were to follow the established procedure, Chen Yiran should have closely monitored the target audience, ensuring that TED submits various pieces of evidence to file a lawsuit as soon as problems arise, thus sending them to jail.
However, setting aside the fact that the way he obtained the evidence was illegal, this approach to handling the matter is also somewhat frustrating.
A slightly unconventional solution is to target the specific group of people and, when they encounter problems, send someone to threaten them, making them consider the consequences of offending capital.
A very unusual explanation would be that this person went out for a run, somehow twisted their ankle, and inexplicably fell in front of a large truck. The fully loaded truck ran over their stomach, cutting them in half neatly. Or a similar, more subtle way, one that leaves no room for error.
These are all a bit troublesome, and Chen Yiran doesn't want to make things too complicated. It's just killing someone, right? He can play his cards right and fabricate evidence, and the police won't be able to find out.
For him, his own sense of morality is the more troublesome thing, even though the various equipment under the aurora has been shining on various battlefields.
However, as the saying goes, a wise man keeps his distance from the kitchen, and Chen Yiran had never actually caused any trouble. Fortunately, after the last experiment, she had already made up her mind that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing without taking a hard-line approach.
He smiled and said to Amit, "How is Kabir doing? I haven't seen him for two or three months."
Amit, who had been quite serious, smiled and said, "Boss, that leg assist system is really useful. It's so much easier to go up and down stairs now. We installed that elevator for him before to reduce the strain on his joints, but we don't need it anymore."
The doctor said this kind of assistance is just right; it helps him while also allowing his body to continuously engage in some form of exercise.
"You know what my research is like now, right? Who knows what will happen in the future? In the future world, maybe he really will be able to have a mechanical body."
Kabir wasn't much different from those old professors; no matter how well we cared for him, his illness would never be cured, and his life expectancy was too short.
Amit bowed and said, "Boss, don't worry, I understand. Just give the orders. We are all your islanders and will listen to you. Just tell me what to do. I have already prepared a team to carry out the mission."
The lives of the island's residents have improved dramatically in recent years, especially for many families with chronic illnesses. They no longer have any worries. We know who has been so kind to us.
"Keep an eye on the information. If they cause trouble again, Vicky will notify you. Just arrest them, don't worry about the consequences, just arrest them. Then you handle the rest. After they're done, bury them deep."
"Okay, but wouldn't that be too high-profile? Our people have been trained for several years and are very elite. They can do this completely without anyone noticing."
"No, just do it openly and honestly. It'll serve as a warning to others. Don't worry about the aftermath. Just dispose of the body properly, and you'll be fine. Vicky will fabricate a video showing that they went from Lanai to the Big Island and disappeared in the deep sea while swimming on the shore at night."
"Haha, with Vicky's skills, nobody can tell the video has been edited now."
Amit felt his future was brighter!
"Boss is brilliant. Don't worry, I'll handle it."
