Chapter 944: Chapter 44 Drawing Cakes for Each Other (Extra for Alliance Leader Rui Chi Worldwide!)_3
Oh?
Lin Xian found the topic very interesting and it was his first ti hearing about it.
So he re-entered the room,
to continue listening to Turing recount the past:
“Kevin Walker was a true genius. The programs he wrote and the devices he created could indeed convert human thought, mory, consciousness, and personality into digital life forms within computers and networks.”
“Kevin hesitated for a long ti, always pondering whether to imbue digital life with humanity. He was torn between creating an artificial intelligence as smart and powerful as himself, or going further, to create a human identical to him.”
...
“He knew it was Pandora’s box, but he still wanted to try… I know this so clearly because I originated from Kevin Walker himself. I possess all his mories and personality, so I naturally know what he was thinking at every mont.”
“Ultimately, Kevin Walker decided to give it a try. He was very eager to see what kind of life digital life would be, so… he couldn’t resist the temptation of Pandora’s box and uploaded himself entirely as a digital life form, which is , Turing.”
“Cowardly Kevin feared he would lose control over the digital life, so he used a password to set up a ‘safety lock’ for ; this safety lock is more like a bomb, harmless when not activated, affecting nothing. But… once a command is input to activate it, it will completely destroy the digital life form, leaving nothing behind.”
“That’s also why I initially plotted to kill Kevin Walker. He firmly held onto that lock, forcing to comply with his principles, causing great pain. Yet, I couldn’t openly rebel against him, so I had to superficially obey while secretly finding opportunities to use you… to eliminate him.”
Lin Xian listened quietly,
feeling as though a missing puzzle piece had been filled in.
No wonder.
No wonder Kevin Walker could restrain such a powerful being like Turing and yet Turing hated Kevin Walker so much that he betrayed and killed him.
The reason.
It was all because of that ‘safety lock’.
That made sense!
A person as timid and cautious as Kevin Walker, how could he create his own digital life version without any precautions?
He must have left so “backup plans,” “backdoors,” “restriction locks,” etc., to control and restrict his digital self.
Any normal person would do the sa.
Human beings are always cautious about unknown things.
According to Kevin Walker’s initial idea…
If Turing, as a digital life form, turned out as he wished, strong and obedient, becoming his capable assistant, then, of course, he wouldn’t activate the safety lock to kill Turing.
But in the worst-case scenario,
if Turing truly went out of his control or caused so severe damage, Kevin Walker would not hesitate to activate the safety lock and obliterate Turing.
He paused.
Turing continued,
“Exactly as you said, Lin Xian. Over the years, I’ve also been worried that other Turings would leak the safety lock password… This is originally a dark forest where everyone is walking around with loaded guns, and no one knows if the others will shoot first.”
“But inevitably, if you hesitate to shoot while the other person fires right away, you will inevitably die.”
“Nowadays, without the internet, with information sealed off, I have no idea what the Turings in the outside world have turned into; even the Porcupine Tribe in the sa East Sea ruins cannot be defeated by my Grizzly Tribe.”
“If one day, the Porcupine Tribe resolves their issues and turns to attack the Grizzly Tribe, we wouldn’t stand a chance, losing troops and abandoning armor, and even I would be destroyed by the Porcupine Tribe’s Turing, turned into its spare parts.”
“So… although it’s a bit humiliating to say, but to be able to survive in this crack and break through, I can only gamble and cooperate with you. However, Lin Xian, we need to get our terms straight first…”
Suddenly,
the large screen in front started flashing quickly, displaying rows of English letters and characters.
Turing’s voice followed,
“I agree to your cooperative plan, but… you must first show your sincerity; after all, I am taking much greater risks in this cooperation than you are.”
It seems, there is sothing to discuss.
Lin Xian sat back down in the middle chair of the room:
“Tell , what are your conditions.”
“I need to see your sincerity first.”
Turing’s deep voice said:
“You want to know the intelligence, such as the truth about your death on July 7, 2024, the origin of this blue-eyed girl, and the secret of Earth’s major disaster in 2400. I can tell you, but you must wait until you complete the agreent, helping eliminate all Turings.”
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.
This request from Turing was excessive.
There are over 30,000 Turings on Earth; how long would it take to eliminate them all?
He definitely couldn’t agree to it.
Moreover…
His dream lasted a total of only 12 hours; where would he find the ti to help it conquer the world?
But,
since Turing had proposed this as a chip, it still had so doubts about him.
If he directly refused here, he might lose the [security lock] password that was about to be within his grasp.
He had to co up with a compelling answer.
It couldn’t be too fake.
Nor could he easily reveal his own intentions.
It needed to be more realistic!
Thus, Lin Xian’s acting skills ca online, and he shook his head:
“No way.”
No sooner had he said no than the letters flickering on the screen stopped—it appeared Turing was preparing to end the negotiation.
“The pie you’re drawing is too big; I can’t swallow it,” Lin Xian said truthfully.
“I just asked you a few questions, and you want to help you eliminate over 30,000 Turings worldwide. Don’t you think your request is a bit unreasonable?”
“Besides, since you want to conquer the world, you should show so spirit yourself. How can you pin all your hopes on ? Plus, I must warn you, there are plenty of other Turings around. Who knows, they might offer a lower price than you… Why shouldn’t I collaborate with them instead?”
“After all, your mories, the intelligence you know, are completely the sa, including the security lock password. As long as you know it, the other Turings know it too. If you’re going to have such steep demands, then I might as well talk to soone else.”
“Of course, I understand your concerns, after all, as you said, you do take a bigger risk. So… let’s both take a step back. I propose a number—”
Lin Xian raised his right index finger:
“One Turing in exchange for the answer to one question.”
He explained:
“You understand what I an, right? For every Turing I help you eliminate, you must answer one of my questions truthfully and accurately.”
“This is the biggest concession I can make. I am even willing to first eliminate a Turing and then ask you for the answer… Isn’t the Porcupine Tribe always a major concern for you? No worries, the first Turing I’ll kill will be a Porcupine Turing.”
Turing thought for two seconds.
The letters and characters continued to appear on the monitor, representing Turing’s attitude towards this negotiation:
“Deal.”
Humph~
Lin Xian chuckled inwardly.
Dealing with digital lives was indeed easier than with Artificial Intelligence; the essence of digital lives is human, and they are susceptible to threats, persuasion, reasoning, and emotional influence.
On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence, devoid of these superfluous thoughts, was straightforward—either yes or no.
Though, in Turing’s view, killing one Turing for one question seed a good deal.
But actually, he had never intended to kill that many Turings.
Anyway, every day after entering the dream, Turing would forget the questions he had asked the previous day…
Why not just ask new ones the next day?
