From black technology to super engineering - #480 - Chapter 479 The Principle of Life

Ye Ming knows Musk well.

As the only remaining technology leader in the old US, Musk is by no means a mediocre person. And as a shrewd engineer, entrepreneur, capitalist… this person also has a keen sense of smell and is extremely courageous. When Jizhi Technology launched the ultra-distance communication, SpaceX’s Ares directly chose the ultra-distance communication module, and then abandoned the Starlink project as a proof.

Tesla is also one of the first large-scale manufacturing companies to choose to embrace Aita, and now it is the kind that holds the pennant in the Shanghai stock market every year.

Shortly thereafter, Tesla also completely stopped the research and development of quantum computers and strong AI, and instead focused on the road of brain-computer interconnection.

Ye Ming, as the director of the Brain-Computer Center, of course knows that in the current field of brain-computer interconnection, apart from the Brain-Computer Center… I am afraid that only Musk is making the fastest progress.

Even in the words of Mo Gu, Musk’s path is quite wild…

But how it will go, no one knows.

Ye Ming frowned instantly, and then stared at Musk.

The latter also looked at him.

A few seconds later, Ye Ming exhaled slowly.

“I don’t think that human beings can and will take the path of digital life.”

Musk immediately said: “Why? Is it technology? Or ethics?”

“Although there are too many digital beings in science fiction works, they generally lack a real logic and foundation-thoughts can be converted into electromagnetic waves, but not vice versa.”

“Even if we found a device similar to the collection and processing of nerve signals in the battleships and ruins of the Canglan Star, and it seems that it can completely decipher the thinking and signals of the human brain…but it still doesn’t work.”

Musk’s eyebrows also frowned: “Quantum computers don’t work either?”

“How does digital consciousness come into being? Does it rely on memory to store signals? If quantum computers can do it, then strong artificial intelligence like Aita can evolve into digital life.”

At this time, Yang Chaoxiong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly asked, “What about Ita?”

Ye Ming glanced at Yang Chaoxiong.

Good guy… This senior brother, really does not open which pot and which pot to lift.

“Ita is the artificial intelligence I personally trained. She exists based on Aita’s logic, but her emotions are different.” Ye Ming said in a deep voice: “And…even if you take a step back, yes, have you considered it? , does that still meet the definition of human beings?”

“It doesn’t meet, but it meets the definition of life.” Musk looked at Ye Ming and said in a deep voice: “Even I think that can be defined as life in another dimension.”

Hearing this, Ye Ming was startled suddenly, and then fell into silent thinking.

Everyone looked at him together, and Musk was even more eager.

A minute later, Ye Ming raised his head: “High-dimensional life cannot adapt to the low-dimensional universe, and the form of life must be changed.”

Musk was also taken aback: “What?”

“You just said that digital life can be defined as life in another dimension, which is correct – human beings obviously cannot adapt to two-dimensional space, but we can expand three-dimensional matter in two dimensions, including circuits. If the three-dimensional universe collapses Now, if human beings want to continue their lives, or ‘self-awareness’, perhaps they can only enter the two-dimensional space and then digitize.”

At this time, Professor Tang pondered for a few seconds and said, “I don’t really understand the theory of dimensional universes—has the current mainstream dimensional universes abandoned the 11-dimensional space of superstring theory?”

“Yes, superstring theory is a pure geometric space. At present, we have completed observations in four-dimensional space, and the results are not completely consistent with superstring theory.”

“Then since detectors can enter high-dimensional space, why can’t humans enter and survive?”

“Because we can’t extract energy in high-dimensional space.” Ye Ming calculated silently: “In half a year, the detector’s fuel will be exhausted.”

“Is this determined by the spatial properties of four-dimensional space, or is it determined by the properties of three-dimensional objects?” Professor Tang continued to ask.

“Maybe both.” Ye Ming replied, and then laughed: “Teacher, you still say you don’t understand…”

Professor Tang laughed loudly: “I really don’t understand, that’s why there are so many questions.”

Yang Chaoxiong immediately flattered: “Teacher, you can’t even ask questions if you don’t understand!”

“…”

The masters and apprentices here are communicating, but Musk next to him has been thinking. Obviously, he can hear Ye Ming’s opposition to “digital life”, but he has also fallen into what Ye Ming said before according to what he said casually. In the thinking of the conclusion thrown by one sentence.

——High-dimensional life cannot adapt to the low-dimensional universe, and the form of life must be changed.

“Ye Ming, is it possible that there are lives from high-dimensional worlds in our universe?” Musk paused for a while, and immediately added with burning eyes: “If so, what form would they be in?”

Ye Ming was stunned, and then fell into long-term thinking.

…

At eight o’clock in the evening, Tang and Chen accompanied Ye Ming back to his room.

“Teacher, I really don’t care about business. You are more reliable looking for Xiaoqi than me.”

Ye Ming drank red wine tonight. Although he wasn’t very intoxicated, he was still a bit drunk. He sat on the sofa and asked the hotel’s machine butler to make tea for the three of him.

After looking at each other with Professor Chen, Professor Tang smiled slightly: “Can’t you chat with me if you don’t talk about business?”

“Um… Of course, you can, and you can sweep the couch to welcome you at any time.”

“Well, that’s called talking.” Professor Tang nodded, and seeing that Ye Ming was still distracted, he asked tentatively, “Still thinking about Musk’s question today?”

Ye Ming glanced at the two of them, and seeing the concern in the eyes of the two teachers, he exhaled lightly, then nodded.

Musk’s “bold vision” today really reminded him.

Although it is said that human beings want to achieve immortality, as far as the current technology is concerned, even Ye Ming thinks that it may not be possible in the lifetime-because there is currently no sign that electromagnetic waves can reversibly form self-awareness.

As a rigorous scientist, Ye Ming never believed that digital life could be realized easily.

Biological consciousness, especially self-consciousness, belongs to the domain of “God”.

However, if realized, then…the digital life is the life of another dimension.

If human beings can do this, then, as Musk said, is there any life that used to be four-dimensional in this three-dimensional universe?

Ye Ming even thought of Ita.

Ita, is she really just an AI?

That……

Is there… an AI that needs to be taught by itself how much 1+1 equals?

In other words, is it necessary for the system to give itself such an AI?

The answer is obvious, it’s not necessary.
