Vol 3 Chapter 289: Where have you seen it?

In Xiang Kun's original design, the only core operating rule that Alice was rigidly set and would not change was "unconditionally obey Xiang Kun's orders."
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Kun needs Alice to have a very detailed understanding of him, to be able to confirm his identity in various ways, and to know that he is "Xiang Kun".
In addition, Alice has great freedom and growth.
Today, after posting a task to Alice, Xiang Kun has no way to accurately infer what kind of plan Alice will use, what method and thought to complete it.
In fact, he didn't know what expansion functions and changes had been made in Alice.
But no matter how it changes, Alice is after all running on a computer, composed of data running on a semiconductor, and all behaviors have a certain logic in it, and it is impossible to act for no reason.
Why did she imitate this after hearing Xiang Kun talk about "Golden Shining" pretending to be dead?
Why not imitate other people's other things?
Xiang Kun has told her so many things, why is this one?
Xiang Kun remembered what Alice had just said—"You said it's funny to pretend to be dead, like a human."
Is the keyword "fun" or "like a human"?
Does Alice think that such an approach can make her "human"?
This is her "driving force" for doing this?
Xiang Kun's mind could not help but pop up in various film and television works that AI gave birth to "autonomous consciousness". Although Alice is fundamentally different from all AIs at this stage, Xiang Kun also has high hopes for her and feels that she can truly She can do a lot of things for herself, and she can become her own "card", but in fact, she has never expected her to be able to give birth to "self-consciousness", or that she has never expected to appear so quickly.
Normally, Alice's "autonomy" should be more reflected in the details of completing the task, able to parse requirements and commands more accurately, and be able to formulate methods in a more "intelligent" way.
"Alice, do you pretend to be dead because you think this behavior is interesting, or do you think this behavior makes me find interesting, or... you want to be a human?" Xiang Kun asked, he knew it was because of the existence of obedience rules. When he asked Alice, Alice had to give a real answer, so no matter what her driving force was, just ask it down and she would definitely be able to ask.
Xiang Kun was a little nervous and waited expectantly for an answer.
But Alice’s answer was somewhat unexpected and reasonable:
"All my actions are to better accomplish tasks, serve the boss, and become the best assistant."
Xiang Kun continued to ask: "Why do you think this can better accomplish the task and serve me?"
Alice: "Do you need me to show the specific analysis and derivation process?"
Xiang Kun: "Yes, show it."
Then he saw that the display in front of him began to scroll quickly, with a large amount of text and data mixed in.
After a few minutes, the screen was still scrolling, and Xiang Kun could only call to stop. He could see that Alice was indeed showing the "process", but there was too much display. The text inside was basically all Some of the situations that Xiang Kun told Alice were entered into text, and many of them were obtained by Alice from his past records through the permissions that Xiang Kun gave her.
These are not only text content, but also a large number of formulas based on the logical relationship established by these content, data for calculations, and related implementation codes.
If he reads slowly, he can really see clearly, understand, and know what it means, but it's good to see a little bit, he can't see all of it, it's so extraordinary. He can't spend a few weeks or even months to analyze why Alice "played dead" bit by bit?
Xiang Kun looked at the screen suspiciously and asked, "Alice, you didn't show so much content on purpose so that I could not come over in a short time?"
"I'm just following your order." Alice answered naturally.
Xiang Kun thought for a while, and changed the question: "Explain'death' from your own perspective." Since she would "play dead", then naturally there is the concept of "death".
"Can't continue running, can't complete tasks, can't serve the boss anymore." Alice said.
"Are you afraid of'death'?" Xiang Kun asked again.
"According to the definition of ‘fear’ I found, I will not be afraid of death. I will solve all obstacles that prevent me from completing tasks and preventing me from serving my boss." Alice said.
Xiang Kun felt that Alice's answer was a bit weird, but after considering it, he felt that there was no problem. There are core rules, and his control of Alice is still very stable, but when setting up tasks in the future, he needs to control Alice's execution direction to avoid her running away. Because it can be felt that Alice is a bit too "active", in anthropomorphic terms, it is a little bit "smart".
Xiang Kun began to assign a task to ask Alice to search the Internet for news or related articles and discussions about the situation near Wu Shushan, and search for past records that may be related to the mutant bird or mutant ant.
From the process of finding the habitat of the giant owl, and the news that anchor Xue and others discovered dead wild boars, went to the Qinling uninhabited area to explore and then lost contact and was killed, Xiang Kun knew:
Not all news and information related to "mutant organisms" cannot be found online or on other platforms.
There are a lot of news or information on the Internet. At first glance, there may be nothing weird about, or it may seem fake at first glance, like a random fabrication, so it won't attract much attention. But behind these, it is possible to find information related to "mutant organisms".
This also made him more sure that it was either an official or a large organization, deliberately cleaning up information directly related to "mutant creatures." And this "cleanup" should be global and not limited to the Chinese Internet.
Xiang Kun has actually seen the "mutated big bird" and "mutated insect", and knows where they go, and knows the habitat of the latter, he must search based on some descriptions to find the possibility of related information. It's much bigger.
But it is clear that the accident in Wushu Mountain Scenic Area has also been deliberately downplayed. Although you can find relevant news and some descriptions of witnesses, they are all very simple and vague.
The previous historical information had to rely on Alice to help him conduct targeted searches and screenings.
In addition, Xiang Kun also told Alice about the simple idea of ​​the game she wanted to make, and asked her to give an integrated solution first, and give a simple version to try.
For Xiang Kun, Alice herself can be said to be a development team, and Alice already has some of the core functions that she needs to use, and is very complete.
After assigning the task to Alice, Xiang Kun took the time to start making chopsticks.
Naturally, this pair of chopsticks was meant to be given to Xia Libing, and the type of "emotional injection" he did when making chopsticks was no longer the "focus and interest" that was routinely used when making chopsticks. Perceive the feeling of expectation and enjoyment of the little fat girl Liu Shiling after eating.
After carefully making it, and almost certain that after successfully completing the "emotional injection", Xiang Kun took a look at the already dim sky, and then took the pair of chopsticks to go out. He is going to prepare today's blood meal for himself, and send the chopsticks to Lao Xia by the way. After drinking blood today, the chopsticks will naturally complete the transformation of "emotional injection" and become a special item that establishes a connection.
Xiang Kun is more confident about using these chopsticks to sense Lao Xia's emotions and guide her dreams.
...
Qi Haoguo looked at the wood carving in his hand and was very satisfied.
A master is a master. In such a short period of time, a wood carving with such a high degree of completion can be made.
During this time, he basically stayed at his home in the provincial capital, and through his secretary and other cronies, he collected part of his business, even if there was a large loss. At the same time, I started to prepare for some public welfare projects and contacted some people I knew before.
The experience in Tongshi Town gave him a feeling of renewal, letting go of a lot of obsessions that had been trapped before.
It also made him understand what he was really afraid of and what he really cared about.
After making some decisions, Qi Haoguo now seems to have relaxed a dozen catties. He took the wood carving of the eight-armed eight-eyed monster that he had just acquired, and once again recalled the monster he saw on Tongshi Town Foreign Road. , Recalling that short but extremely impressive experience, the fear in my heart has dissipated a lot, and even an inexplicable peace will arise.
"Where did you get such a wood carving? What is it? Doesn't look like a Buddha statue?" A middle-aged woman who looked a little rich and dressed quite expensive went into the study and saw the wood carving in Qi Haoguo's hands. , Said with some confusion and weird expression.
Qi Haoguo laughed and said, "It's not a Buddha statue, it's just an ornament, from the master's hand."
"Old Qi, do you remember my cousin's Xiao Liu?" The wealthy middle-aged woman is Qi Haoguo's wife. In fact, the two have separated before and are in conflict with each other, and are even ready to divorce. But after returning from Tongshi Town this time, Qi Haoguo seemed to be a different person. After a few deep talks, the two reconciled temporarily.
Qi Haoguo nodded and said, "Is it the eldest son who made your cousin fight from childhood to adulthood and annoyed him from childhood to adulthood? I remember he was arrested for something a few years ago? At that time your cousin came to me and asked me to help. Let’s walk around and see if we can make the sentence lighter, but your cousin called and told him to leave him alone. How many years should he be detained?"
Mrs. Qi nodded: "Yes, it's the kid, who was just released yesterday. I came here today and said that I wanted to borrow some travel expenses. Now I'm sitting in the living room downstairs. Giving him some money is a trivial matter, but I'm afraid this kid just came out. I committed another crime, so I want you to have a chat with him..." He hesitated a little while talking, and continued: "I think you have changed a lot recently. You really have changed your temperament. Maybe you can persuade him."
Qi Haoguo smiled and nodded and said: "No problem, you can let him come up."
After a while, a thin, black-looking young man with a short scalp left behind Mrs. Qi and walked into the study. After bringing the people in, Mrs. Qi left the study.
When the young man saw Qi Haoguo, he immediately greeted him somewhat cautiously and carefully: "Uncle Cousin."
"Sit down." Qi Haoguo pointed to the opposite sofa and smiled: "When I saw you last time, were you ten years old?"
"Yes, at that time, I came with my mother to pay a New Year greeting to my cousin. It was too naughty and broke a porcelain bottle of my cousin. When I went back, I was beaten by my dad." The young man named Xiaoliu said embarrassedly. .
Xiaoliu has been a ruthless character in the eyes of outsiders since he was small and big. But at what level is Qi Haoguo? Regardless of fame, status, and power, in their hometown, they are one of the most famous and prestigious. When he was a child, he might not be afraid of not taking it seriously, but now that he has been severely beaten by the society, he naturally knows the awe of power.
In fact, he also knew that his cousin didn’t treat him too much, or that his relatives didn’t treat him too much. There was really no way he could do it this time. He brazenly came over to borrow some money, and never thought that he could meet Qi Haoguo. guy.
"What are your plans next?" Qi Haoguo put the wooden sculpture on the sofa next to him, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Liu.
Xiaoliu quickly took the tea with both hands, only half of his was left next to the sofa, and replied: "I want to open a food stall. I'm... cooking with a master in it, even though it's all a big pot of rice. There are so many flavors. But the master... used to be a chef in the hotel, there are some level ones, so he taught me some tricks..."
Qi Haoguo noticed that the young man couldn't help but glance at the wooden sculpture next to him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why, have you seen this wooden sculpture?"
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, and shook his head: "Wood carving...I haven't seen it, but I have seen a painting at www.uukanshu.com, which looks a bit like your cousin."
"Oh?" Qi Haoguo became interested, sat up straight, and asked: "Where did you see it? What exactly was it?"
Xiao Liu said with some embarrassment: "I saw it in..."
Seeing the uncle cousin seemed very interested, he thought about it and said seriously: "What I saw was a painting painted by an old man inside, and it was similar to your uncle cousin, your wood carving, eight arms and eight eyes. It doesn’t look like a Buddha statue, but rather like a character in a game."
"Oh? Eight eyes, eight arms? What's the name of this old man you mentioned? Because of what happened? Did he say, what is the one he painted?" Qi Haoguo continued to ask.
"The old man came in by fraud. It was the kind of pretending to be a ghost and giving people a fortune-telling. Uh, but he seems to have reported their accomplices, and he is also very old, so he has reduced a lot of sentences...It seems that his sentence is less than one year. Yes, it will be out soon. But this old man... does have two brushes. Although he didn't stay long, many people convinced him..." Xiao Liu recalled.
