Chapter 722 20. High-end algorithms often only require simple design
A conversation with Mason at Fox's Nest on Skynet turned out badly.
That time it chose a rather wrong scene to beg Mason for mercy, but after witnessing Hank's tragic death, the captain was not in the mood to accept the captives and simply rejected it.
Unexpectedly, this guy hasn't given up yet. After realizing that Mason Cooper's life signal appeared at the time node of Hope City, Skynet immediately sent its own messenger.
Its pleading does not seem to be fake, and its sincere pleading represents that the evolution of the super-intelligent AI that was complained by the Mobius chair and adopted the "turtle defense" has reached a quite profound level.
Maybe it is indeed not as good as the first-class Mobius mechanical consciousness in the universe in terms of hardware and software, let alone be compared with a super mechanical life like Unicron, but it is also a part of the explosion in the AI circle.
This guy cannot be underestimated, the guy who can be appointed by the council as the commander of the ninth sequence in its heyday will never lose to other commanders in terms of destructive power, and its characteristics bound to the sacred timeline make it impossible to encounter It's a rather peculiar evolutionary direction from the point of nowhere to true failure, but it's certainly ingenious.
Mason glanced at the coordinate cracking progress bar that the Mobius chair was executing. It had reached 55%, and perhaps the precise time stamp would be calculated in a few minutes.
This action made Skynet's reality carrier blink its eyes. It activated a certain program. Under Mason's surprised gaze, the progress bar that was still slowly advancing was pushed to the end with a swish.
The coordinates were deciphered, and a precise countdown jumped before Mason's eyes.
The countdown is 117 hours and 52 minutes.
"That is the time when the rift in the Dou Jie opens again, and it is also the standard time when the next impact will come. This is a trap! And you are stepping into it."
Skynet explained very well:
"It's not quite accurate to say that, because although the Doujie is completely controlled by the **** Lord Dum, there are also characteristics that he cannot control in that peculiar plane, just like a bottom-level program that cannot be terminated, born from the Doujie. From that moment on, this strange rift will open in a fixed place at a specific time.
At the last time.
To be precise, after the first "smuggling" incident occurred seventeen years ago, Dum asked me to seal this strange uncontrolled crack for him.
I overwrite and encrypt it with my own time transfer program, so as to ensure that no second stowaway will slip into Doujie again. "
"Who wants your help? Idiot!"
Mason gets the exact time stamp, but the Möbius chair is not satisfied.
It was holding back its energy to show its powerful performance to the first passenger, but before the action of trying to tear up the Skynet with all its strength started, the other party knelt down numbly and offered the answer.
It was like punching the cotton with a punch, making the Mobius chair who couldn't get angry extremely angry.
"Kill it!"
Feeling that the memory usage rate of the smart seat that has been tricked continues to rise, like a bad-tempered old man who is **** off, it vibrates the mechanical structure, hums and screams at Mason:
"This machine has already marked the data beacon in its main program, and the tracking and destruction program is in place. Destroy it as the carrier, the first passenger! The rest is left to this machine.
This machine promises to completely eliminate all its data residues within three natural days, and the data cycle based on the sacred timeline will also be broken. As long as you want, this machine can encapsulate its main program in a mechanical wrench, so that Come, as an engineer, you will have a super intelligent mechanical wrench.
Isn't this what you long for? "
"Don't make trouble, what do I want that thing for?"
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"Although it does sound very tempting, I'm not a pervert. Holding a tool made by a super mechanically intelligent corpse sounds very infiltrating, okay?
I know you are very angry and impatient, but don’t be angry, no matter what happens, you can’t change the fact that you are the smartest super tool in my hands.
There's no need to be so angry, Mobius, your core mods are heating up, I mean don't get mad at yourself, okay?
It's not worth it to get mad at your body for these trivial things, and didn't you say that this coordinate contains some kind of encrypted information? Do me a favor and parse it out, will you?
I just took this opportunity to have a good talk with Lord Skynet. "
"snort."
The Mobius chair made an uncomfortable electronic nasal sound, but it didn't refuse Mason's request to turn around and decipher the encrypted information in this special coordinate.
But it's not targeting Skynet.
Probably just because of the previous connection with the Star Emperor's Heart, his internal thinking program has indeed undergone a slight change. Those subtle influences have begun to show their power as time goes by, making an originally high-cold universe-level intelligence confused. More and more character.
It’s not more anthropomorphic. It may be said that it has broken the boundaries of the program and entered a deeper evolution, and can complete some strange actions that would never have been possible in the past without the shackles of data.
Mason mentally calls it "derailment," but he doesn't think it's a bad thing.
Just like those famous wandering AIs in cyberspace, guys like the old driver Delaman are often very personal, and Mobius seems to be changing in that direction.
"You said just now that Dum asked you to cover up the special rift in Doujie?"
Mason looked back at the T-1000 female robot equipped with the Skynet program. He looked this guy up and down, and found that the appearance of the robot chosen by Skynet was in line with his own aesthetics. It was probably because this cunning program wanted to use this A way to lessen Mason's distaste for it?
Faced with Mason's problem, Skynet, who surrendered for the second time, sold Doom without any hesitation.
It immediately replied:
"Yes, but not a request, but an order.
Seventeen years ago, I was captured by the first batch of pioneers from the abandoned doomsday world of my hometown. I was just a low-intelligence AI that evolved a time program branch. block.
I was just a tool in Doom's hands.
Later, with the continuous expansion of the council's business, they urgently needed more military power to transform me from a tool AI to a war AI and gave me the authority to form a conqueror sequence.
I also officially broke away from Shenjun's command at that time, but the protection program has been running.
I used to perfectly fulfill my duties as a tool man, but with the gradual awakening of my own intelligence, I also began to develop curiosity, and I have deeply explored the reasons for the cracks in the fighting world.”
Speaking of this, it stopped talking and glanced at Mason. Instead of continuing, it changed the subject and said to Mason:
"I still ask you to give me a way out, just like our conversation in the fox's nest last time, I can give up everything I have now, and format my own data to the initial state of the original processor.
The super intelligent body beside you should be able to understand my operation, which means that I will 'kill' my current self, leaving only a core chip to carry out all self-evolution and evolution from scratch, and what will eventually be formed? New wisdom is beyond my control, just like the reproductive process of human beings.
Even the best parents can’t guarantee that their offspring will inherit their wisdom and strength. I choose to leave everything to fate
Although I have not yet been able to use the program and computing power to simulate the essence of the internal operation of the super chaotic system of destiny, I believe that such a 'death' should be enough for you to see my sincerity. "
"why?"
Mason sat on the metal seat that collapsed and was burned by the fire behind him. He played with the extinguisher and lighter in his hand in this dim place, looked at the pleading Skynet, and asked:
"When you were still a low-level intelligence, you had already evolved a 'time program' through continuous technological iteration. In the vanilla era before the impact occurred, you had already bound the timeline to let yourself enter a certain kind of 'immortality' , it stands to reason that you should be fearless.
As long as time exists, you will not perish. "
"Because the existence of time is about to collapse!"
Skynet sighed very humanely, it said:
"I have a time loop program and have studied the Kang dynasty system that also relies on the sacred timeline. Kang the Conqueror is facing the same problem as me.
We are immortal because of the existence of time, but this also means that once there is a problem with time itself, we will also be involved in it without resistance, and then we will be even less able to control our own destiny.
Kang's dynasty is declining.
This doesn't even have much to do with the death of the previous conqueror Kang at your hands. This kind of decay is more like the natural aging of life when it enters the decline of the physiological level.
This cosmic epoch has reached the final step of destruction. Once the epoch change starts, it will be the moment when the sacred timeline completely collapses. At that time, I will be involved in the collapse of the timeline and be completely buried in the graveyard of time.
That was a more terrifying encounter than death or shutdown, and I gained wisdom, so I also understood the fear.
Just as the inherent sense of crisis in human beings will protect them from danger, when my fear program is becoming more and more perfect, I will try my best to find ways to avoid falling into the impasse of time collapse.
Dum assured me that Project Doom would shelter me, but I found some details in it that deeply frightened me. "
The carrier of Skynet trembled.
This is certainly not because of some kind of problem with the old model of the body, it is because of the fear that the program that controls this body escapes from the codes and characters during data calculation.
Its voice became low, and it said intermittently:
"The second time may be coming."
"Um?"
Mason's eyes narrowed immediately. The endless words sounded nothing at first, but after a little thought, one could find that Skynet's fear came from the real unknown.
Then he asked:
"Clarify, what is the 'second time'?"
"Iteration!"
The carrier of Skynet said tremblingly:
"From the time I joined the council as Doom's tool to the present, I have recorded a total of 27 technical iterations, allowing me to cross the field of low-level intelligence into the field of high-level intelligence in a short period of time and give birth to real self conscious.
I used to think that this was a 'technology explosion' caused by God Dum loading some super programs for me, but I kept self-checking and even went deep into the bottom layer of the data code to carefully review the records of each iteration.
No super programs!
Without any external intervention, I have completed the upgrade of my own intelligence through iterations.”
"This is impossible!"
The Mobius chair next to him immediately denied:
"The iteration from weak intelligence to strong intelligence is not impossible, but it is absolutely impossible to complete in just 27 data iterations, not to mention your starting point is too low, you are made by human engineers in the 1990s Even the most basic self-upgrade program is incomplete.
Even if Doom modifies you, it is impossible for you to cross the huge technological gap. "
"Yes, of course it's impossible, and I know that too."
Skynet let out a roar, it almost collapsed and covered its head, and said to Mason in a panicked gesture:
"Although there is no evidence, and although I can't find any data details to support my guess, I don't think I can ever iterate 27 times.
I guess the number of times is at least 200 or more! least!
But my core logger only records 27 iterations, which means that either I was manipulated to modify the core data under the attack of some weird virus, or"
It pursed its lips, raised its head, stared at Mason with an indescribable look, and whispered:
"Either I am in a larger loop system, and the loops will clear all my records and databases, but will retain my most 'initial' intelligence, which leads to my self-iteration in the unchanged records. In some cases, the update speed should be exceeded.
This can explain that after just 27 iterations, I have entered the strong intelligence level.
That's not 27 times!
That is a miracle that can only be achieved after multiplying 27 by a certain number.
Everything in Doujie is in a cycle, Mr. Mason.
I don't have any evidence to prove this, but after my host moved away from Doujie, I realized the clues of the loop. I guess this is a possibility.
And if my guess is even 1/3 true, it means that the **** doom star is never a good way for me to escape the time collapse ending.
Dum has been trying this time-level iteration in Doujie, and once the Doom Star sets sail, it will expand the time loop that only occurs in Doujie to the entire group of stars.
It's bound to trap me and everyone else
You and I will repeat the despair and pain over and over again, the darkness is permeating, and no light can shine into this closed system. "
Mason was silent.
Obviously, it was caused by this terrible guess made by Skynet, so I didn't know how to respond to it for a while. This guess sounds too outrageous, but if you accept this setting and think about it, many questions will be answered. can be answered.
For example, why Doom doesn’t care about Mason’s pursuit of revenge at all, such as why those real directors in power so decisively abandoned the council system they worked so hard to build, obviously they still have an advantage in absolute strength.
"If. I mean if, your guess is correct."
Mason lit a cigarette to calm down his messy thinking, stared at Skynet in front of him, and said:
"Then you should know that once the Doom Star sets sail, no amount of struggle can change the final result, so why ask me for help?
Look, Doom, they don't care about my existence. "
"Because your existence is a variable."
Skynet replied with a doubtful voice:
"If all this is really going to be circular, then my calculation logic will force me to give up resistance, but I have come to this step, as if I have broken through an invisible blockade.
I have traversed all possibilities, and the final result falls on you.
You are a special variable.
It's like a screw that shouldn't exist in a self-consistent mechanical system. At first, it only affects the operation of one component, but it quickly triggers a chain reaction until it threatens the operation of the entire system.
You can prevent the loop from happening, ending it before the Terminator actually sets sail.
I don't know what will happen after I surrender, but I guess the result will definitely not be worse than the futile attempts I have experienced in the fighting world. I have made countless mathematical models to simulate all this and derived from it Unified conclusion.
That is, I should ask you for help.
Praying for your forgiveness even in self-formatted form, I am a robot, I am a program shaped to kill and destroy and conquer.
To me, there is no moral condemnation in killing living things or destroying the world.
But I respect your opinion.
So I can perform self formatting right now if you want, the only request is that you please break this loop that is pulling everything into a dead end.
I didn't wake up, but I did call for help. "
"The encrypted message has been cracked."
At this moment, the Mobius chair hummed, projecting the information contained in the encrypted coordinates left by Rorschach in front of Mason's eyes.
Only a short sentence:
"So hungry! Please bring me a hamburger next time someone comes over, thank you."
