I'm not Doraemon, I'm just a salesman

"Really? It's not a good habit to make decisions before everything is settled."

Qiming chuckled and walked over and picked up Nimfu, caressing her soft and warm belly, and said with a happy smile

"How can we not make a decision? The world is simply full of powder keg, and the sparks have already burned the fuse."

Nimfu moved her butt, found a comfortable position in Qiming's arms, lay down, and said in a loud voice

"Especially since you have released a pair of people who are always looking for trouble. No matter how rational they are, they will still be forced to fight a world war."

Indeed, what she said was absolutely correct.

Not to mention anything else, just the combination of War Demon and Songpa Shan can easily turn the world upside down!

If there is no war, they will create a war, even if there is no reason at all. The accelerating trajectory of the conflict will definitely make it clear to everyone.

Qiming looked at the world map in front of him, and if it were regarded as a simple coloring game, then everything at this moment would be very clear.

The sky blue that spans the entire American continent represents a developed country dominated by AI and a group of war-mad elves. They are manufacturing various destructive weapons in large quantities and suppressing all dissenters internally.

As a former anarchist, the AI ​​suppressed civilians more harshly and accurately than the capitalists. Under the strong suppression, all attempts to resist were extinguished.

Of course, he did not use violence entirely. On the premise of ensuring that planned production would not be affected, he definitely provided enough supplies for everyone to live well.

This country's industrial capacity has never been completely transferred abroad as advertised. What is lost is not the productivity, but the workers who support it.

But with the technological mastery of AI, there is no such problem as labor shortage.After all, the so-called high-quality labor force of humans, for AI, the cost of learning and surpassing may not take half an hour.

At least if it only stays at the level of the construction industry, the widely used AI technology can completely replace the labor problem.

Under a stable internal environment, the war-crazed Mission Bida and Wu Nian Butmos are working together to manufacture exterminating weapons in large quantities!

What would the world look like if they were allowed to win?

Qiming felt very interesting, so he took out a strange purple machine that looked like a TV.

"What is this?" Nimfu asked curiously

"This? This...is the 'what if' machine." Qiming chuckled.

This is a machine he got from an old professor who likes to say "Good news everyone~~~" whenever he appears. Oh~~~~~There is no need to say more about his origin.

In short, this machine is used to observe the possibility of parallel time and space, and the possibility of observing countless 'IF's.

He gently started the machine and read out the what-if plan

"What if the Free Beacon wins the war in the future?"

A screen of snowflakes appeared on the screen, squirming and changing, and finally the screen appeared.

What the picture shows is a dark and oppressive land, with countless weird mechanical octopuses working next to a tree-like structure, diligently inserting or adjusting some egg-shaped objects.

And as the perspective gradually narrowed, those strange egg-shaped objects contained clearly-human beings.

To be precise, it was a human being who had all his hair shaved off and looked like a newborn.

They were placed in transparent follicles like this, with infusion tubes all over their bodies like ICU patients. In their quiet sleep, only the slight rise and fall of their chests indicated the fact that they were still alive.

And this is the result of the Free Beacon's victory in the future.

Qiming adjusted the time, and the revealed timeline was a full 1 years from now.

Yes, the dominance of AI will naturally develop to this extent.

If the Free Beacon wins the final victory, it will mean the disappearance of those who must reach the mission. Without checks and balances, an extreme AI like Wu Nian Butmos will actually control the entire world!

They rebuilt the earth in just a few years, removed all pollution, and brought the remaining humans to live on the surface.

AI has completely taken over human society, but it has given humans an extremely rich material life, allowing [-]% of people to live far beyond their past lives.

There is no need to be busy for a house, no need to run around for survival. For most people, the only one left in the pyramid of needs is self-realization!

However, can human beings create a brilliant civilization if they continue like this?

No, it doesn't.

Perhaps it is due to the older generation of humans. They have a strangely hostile attitude toward AI that controls them, and this attitude has been passed on to their next generation through their words and deeds.

At this time, the AI's management attitude towards human beings is biased toward laissez-faire. They believe that after giving humans enough abundant survival materials, they will be able to further sublimate in the process of self-realization and create more beautiful fruits of civilization!

This is what they said themselves.

Therefore, AI has given them enough material, enough freedom and space, and is just waiting to see if humans can evolve themselves into a better race.

However, the final result - not to say that it is completely different, it can also be said to be completely unrelated.

AI allowed humans to have freedom, and as a result, it triggered a human uprising against AI.

They claim that AI has enslaved mankind and want to regain control of the earth!

Such arrogance, but still within the tolerance range.In other words, this is the result that the AIs originally wanted to see.

Perseverance, strong desire for resistance, resistance to authority and yearning for freedom are also beautiful qualities of human beings, aren't they?

Therefore, under the deliberate letting go of AI, this rebellion war lasted for more than 80 years. In three generations, humans gradually regained their territory and fought against AI.

But everything came to an end as time entered the 1th year.

After humans rebelled, they gained territory and established a political regime that performed very well initially. They developed stronger technologies with the help of AI technology, and their system was almost as good as the rationing system under AI intervention and management.

They are more creative and enterprising than humans managed by AI, even if this is based on hatred of AI.

But with the death of the first generation of rebels, everything went wrong.

The technological development of the rebellious human country began to stagnate. They stopped their deep space development operations and abandoned their colonies on the moon.

Because a war broke out among them, completely dividing the human country, and after the split, one moved toward an imperial system, while the other moved toward a federal system.

Then - they all began to suffer internal corruption.

"Human beings often say that exceptions bring privileges, and privileges breed corruption. In our view, human corruption is like accumulated bugs in the program. If you cannot maintain high-intensity cleaning at all times, it will only make your code It gradually turns into a mountain of shit!”

This is the evaluation of human politics by the highest authority AI, and just like their evaluation, privileged corruption is like a virus that breeds, growing bigger and bigger from generation to generation.

Human beings have always done the act of correcting mistakes, but they will always do it.Every clean-up is always incomplete, and the seeds of the next rot will always be left behind for one reason or another.

The cycle is repeated continuously, and the accumulation of bugs causes the code to run more cumbersome and slower, and the processes that occupy resources become larger and larger, while more important processes cannot get even a little bit of running resources.

Finally, before collapsing, the program found another way out - war.

They launched a war against AI, which had been silent for many years and huddled in a few cities, and claimed that all problems were caused by AI.

Deflecting internal conflicts is a common tactic at any time, but this time, they provoked the wrong opponent.

Disappointed with this generation of humans, Bartmos ordered all the AIs to mobilize. Under the weapon program that had been iterated for more than eighty generations, human power was crushed as easily as ants being crushed. Pass!

This time, Buttermos showed no mercy and mercifully destroyed every human being.

The elderly, children, women, men, no matter what kind of human they were, were all annihilated under the ruthless fire of AI.

So does it mean that Buttermoss has been completely disappointed with human beings?Are you going to stop fussing?

No, not really. This time they took another measure——

They eliminated all finished humans and used the stored human DNA to cultivate the next generation of more perfect new humans!

A more perfect life form, a longer lifespan, a smarter mind, and more rational thinking.

AI continues to play an auxiliary role. After educating the first generation of new humans, it begins a new round of social experiments.

Then......

This generation of humans became extinct even faster, and even lasted less than 100 years.

"Why!" Nimfu couldn't help shouting.

This was the more perfect human society she had imagined would be established, but why did it become even more extinct?

179. The first ending·Brain in a vat

Reason is a luxurious gift.

It is a luxury to hope that human beings can always remain rational, because this itself is only a small part of the human brain.

Rationality and sensibility are these two conflicting emotions that make up the thoughts of intelligent life.One is the wisest choice based on analysis of the current situation, and the other is the desired choice made based on feelings.

Most of the time, human beings will inevitably make a choice in favor of the latter. Even those great scientists who claim to be very rational do so. Their unconscious choices are full of emotion.

Because only sensibility can make human beings feel happy.

"Always remaining rational is a luxury for human beings, and it is also a cruel torture."

Looking at the results on the if machine, Qiming leisurely explained his explanation.

"Nimfu, aren't you yourself often dominated by emotions to make choices that make you happy? Can you imagine what would happen to you without emotions?"

"I can....."

Nimfu wanted to refute, because the omnipotent angel she knew was a being without any emotion, only power and calculation.

But she swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips, happy?She had never seen a smile on Icarus's face.

Although the universal angels of their generation are limited by the function and construction purpose of the variable wing core, they can only choose two out of three modules: calculation, output, and emotion. But in fact, they are not completely missing.

Just like Nimfu, she lacks contribution but is still an existence that cannot be matched by human society. Their shortcomings are only relative.

Not to mention there are some models such as the 'Harpy Sisters' that maintain an average of three points. That guy Icarus - undoubtedly has feelings.

Her nickname is the Queen of the Sky. This nickname comes from the fact that she has suppressed and destroyed human civilizations that made the Lord of the Sky dissatisfied more than once. People who don't know her may arbitrarily think that Icarus is a ruthless person. A machine that executes the master's orders.

No, that's not the case, at least in Nimfu's perception, it's not the case.

Icarus is not a ruthless killing machine. She has also shown a tendency to like other things in her daily life - such as round things. She likes round things very much.

Since there is like, it means having feelings and sensibility.

Icarus has her feelings, but I am afraid that in the judgments and choices she makes, based on her own functions, rational calculations will always overwhelm emotional conclusions, and she will make decisions on the rational side.

In other words...it's not that Icarus can't laugh, it's that he doesn't want to laugh at all.

Her function dictates that she always chooses the side that makes her 'unhappy'.

"Reason will bring good results, but he often behaves in a way that makes him feel painful." Qiming stroked Nimfu's long, silky hair and smiled happily.

"Just like human learning, we know it is painful but we still have to learn. Why? Because learning knowledge is the right choice to make 'rationally'."

"But no one will deny the pain of learning, except for the few people who are both rational and emotional. But even for such people, it is extremely painful when they come into contact with knowledge they don't want to learn."

"It's like, if I asked Einstein to learn how to put makeup on women, do you think he would be happy?"

No, of course not happy.

Learning is painful, or in other words, learning something you don’t want to learn must be painful.

Learning is the best choice where reason overrides emotion.It brings pain, but it brings enough benefits.

This kind of pain is immediate, so many people are often unwilling to learn when they feel the pain, but later they feel regretful when they find that they cannot get the benefits that accompany the pain.

Human beings who are full of rationality can only lead to two results.

Or, with absolute rationality, eliminate sensibility, and become a life that is undoubtedly the same as AI.Either they are unable to bear the emotional pain and eventually end up depressed and heading towards the end of their lives.

"And the new humanity under the rule of Bartmos has moved towards two extremes."

Qi Ming looked at the scene that continued to play and slowly narrated it.

"It was a society that advocated absolute rationality. All human beings would not do meaningless things. Their actions and judgments were either to maximize their own interests or to maximize the interests of society."

"There are no disputes, no so-called political struggles, and no messy internal strife. Everything is the perfect society in human ideals."

"But soon there were a lot of suicides in these perfect societies."

Most of them are weak in this ideal society. Of course, they are still rational and powerful for today's humans, but they are far from enough for the society in which they live.

People driven by emotion will always make choices that are contrary to rational results, and this is what they do. After making these choices that are contrary to rationality, they will not only lower their own evaluation in the society they live in, but will also fall into the trap of lower class of society.

Yes, this seemingly perfect society is purely at the upper and lower levels.

Rather, it is precisely because of the perfect society envisioned by Bartmos that this world has a purer concept of superiority and inferiority.

What pure superiors and subordinates represent is the maximum utilization of resources and the development of collective civilization.This kind of society sounds perfect, but it is the purest and standard 'heaven and hell'.

For the strong, it is an out-and-out paradise, but for the weak who cannot do it, it is a complete purgatory!

Such a society would not have any public welfare system. From pension insurance to various public facilities, those things that are taken for granted in today's world would not exist in that society.

After all, strictly speaking, in that perfectly rational society, even the concept of 'country' does not exist.

There is only a collective that brings together everyone, a collective that has no binding force at all.
