Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 120 Lantern Festival Chapter

After taking complete control of the Mewtwo database, Bai Bing has been dedicated to building the third phase of the Mewtwo world.

The first phase of the Super Dream World was completed by Yun Tianming, whose main responsibility was to build the basic model for the database.

The second phase of the Dream World was completed by billions of people around the world, who "voluntarily" uploaded their memories to the database, enabling synchronous verification.

The third stage is the most difficult step: decentralization!

This means that the large iron box that Shi Qiang mentioned in the Red Coast Third Base will be completely dismantled, and all the data will be shared in the minds of users on the client side.

At that time, Zhizi's surveillance will be rendered ineffective.

Because humans will no longer need to use language to communicate their thoughts, they will communicate in the same way as the Trisolarans.

However, there is still a fundamental difference. Lin Xuan naturally knows what transparent thinking means, so it only provides a way of transmitting knowledge, not a way to achieve consciousness communication like the Trisolarans. Humans will still retain the ability to "deceive".

As Luo Congmin said, the Super Dream World, which is still in its second stage, absolutely cannot be applied to all of humanity, otherwise it would be a disaster.

Because in the second stage of the dream world, the interaction method is between humans and machines, and the way humans acquire knowledge is by completely downloading a ready-made consciousness and memorizing it into their brains.

This means that everyone will assume an axiom: the knowledge learned from downloaded memories is absolutely true, because human memory does not lie.

Just as the ancient church believed in God, people would never believe in the concept that God did not exist. In the end, anyone who opposed this truth would be put to death.

However, in the third stage of the dream world, there is no central host; any unit is a host, and any person can be a provider of answers.

Humans will not doubt God, but they will absolutely doubt themselves.

Let me give you a simple example.

The second phase of the Mewtwo database is more like a textbook. Few people would question whether the knowledge in the textbook is correct. Even if they do question it, they will overturn their own conjectures due to the herd effect.

Much knowledge will be defined as "common sense," just as the Earth is not "flat" or "square," a fact that few people in modern society would question.

In the third stage of the dream world, everyone will be a debater, and there is no so-called standard answer.

It's like the question of whether to eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan during the Lantern Festival.

A said: We should eat glutinous rice balls. What else should we eat on the Lantern Festival if we don't eat glutinous rice balls?

B said: We should eat glutinous rice balls; they are more in line with tradition.

C said: Aren't Yuanxiao and Tangyuan the same thing?

"If the second stage of the Super Dream Database was for quick verification and the answer given was one, then the third stage of the Super Dream World is a communication platform where everyone's thoughts converge and they verify their arguments by constantly explaining their viewpoints," Bai Bing said with a smile.

"The difference between Baidu and CNKI," Lin Xuan asked.

"It is indeed the difference between Baidu and CNKI. The answers are provided by people, so the answers are not unique. It seems that the answers of both are provided by people, but in fact, the providers and learners are equal, because learners may also become providers."

Is it difficult to do?

"It's quite difficult, especially with the sophon blocking quantum computers, making it almost impossible for artificial intelligence to emerge."

Bai Bing sighed helplessly. Sophon's blockade of science was like cutting off the lifeline of computers, completely eliminating the possibility of their development.

In this era, a large number of computer researchers are unemployed, quantum computers cannot be built, and artificial intelligence is a joke.

The principle is very simple: to explain artificial intelligence, we must first explain the principle of quantum computers.

The principle of binary code in computers has been explained a long time ago: 0 represents off and 1 represents on, which constitutes the traditional computer.

Quantum computers, on the other hand, add a state that is both 0 and 1 on top of the two states of 0 and 1.

That means computers would have three number systems.

Logically speaking, computers seem to have only improved their computing power and storage capacity to a certain extent, right? Actually, that's not the case.

This state of being both open and closed can be any kind of situation.

I can be in a 50% off state and a 50% on state.

I can be in a 0.1% off state or a 99.9% on state.

Question: If you keep cutting half of a rope, when will you be able to cut it all the way through?

A: It will never be finished.

The third state of a quantum computer is like this; it may seem like just adding one state, but in reality, it adds countless states.

So, if the hardware is sufficient, a quantum computer could theoretically achieve unlimited computing power.

Once a computer possesses unlimited computing power, it will become a "pseudo-four-dimensional" being in the three-dimensional world.

It can know everything in the three-dimensional world because it can randomly calculate everything in the three-dimensional world.

The essence of artificial intelligence technology is randomness.

Only by achieving randomness can artificial intelligence truly realize its so-called "autonomous evolution".

Therefore, the Sophon has blocked the creation of quantum computers and the upper limit of artificial intelligence, which is to say, pseudo-"artificial intelligence" like Cheng Xing.

"Come on, dinner's ready!"

Just as Lin Xuan and Zhang Xiang were chatting, Zhang Xiang came out of the kitchen with a plate of dumplings.

Lin Xuan was taken aback.

"Zhang Xiang, isn't today the Lantern Festival? Why are you cooking dumplings?"

Zhang Xiang smiled.

"Oh dear, what I made is Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls). You'll know once you take a bite."

Lin Xuan was puzzled. She took the chopsticks and took a bite, and her face immediately changed.

"Zhang Xiang, now, take your black sesame paste dumplings and get out of China!"
