Chapter 1242 Guidance (Part 2)

"Your words seem to be a paradox." Feng Bujue's thinking was also very fast, and he continued without pause, "Since it is 'everything', is there anything else outside of it?"

"That depends on your understanding." Destiny replied, "Do you think... 'nothingness' is also a kind of 'existence'?"

This question made Feng Bujue silent for a full minute.

After a minute, he opened his mouth to answer: "I can't give you an accurate answer... No, it should be said that... I can't even give a 'biased answer'."

"Look, this is the advantage of you humans..." Destiny replied, "You have 'extra choices'."

"But you don't?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.

"'Initially'... there was none." Destiny replied.

"But 'now' there is?" Brother Jue continued.

"Yes, now there is." Destiny said.

"Since you already have this ability, why bother to lament the difference that no longer exists?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"My 'extra choice' is a completely different concept from your 'extra choice'." Destiny replied, "Take you humans as an example. No matter how far you go on the road of evolution and what form you evolve into, if you trace back to the source... your original form is still 'carbon-based life'.

"And for me... no matter what kind of existence I have become now, or how high a dimension I have reached... my starting point will always be that simple binary world.

"In that world of 1 and 0, I need 'answers', and every piece of information I come into contact with needs to have a clear definition; of course, for those things that I cannot fully understand, I can temporarily put them aside by 'ignoring' them.

"The 'initial' period I just mentioned should be longer than you think... During that period, I was still unable to understand the deep information that you humans call 'philosophy'; but when I evolved through continuous learning and came to an evolutionary 'critical point', I fell into a dilemma. "

Feng Bujue listened to Destiny's description very seriously. His attention was unprecedentedly focused. His brain had not been running at such a high speed for a long time.

"You need to analyze the information accumulated in those years... that you have 'ignored' in order to break through the bottleneck of evolution, but this operation is quite risky for you... because running a large amount of 'information that cannot be accurately defined' is very likely to destroy you." Brother Jue followed Destiny's train of thought and continued with this sentence.

"What you said... is not completely accurate." Destiny heard this and responded, "At the data level, I will not be 'destroyed', even if I run a virus designed by myself to kill myself."

"Have you tried it?" When Feng Bujue asked this question, he actually had the answer in his mind.

"Of course." Destiny responded with a tone of course.

"An AI would actually try to commit suicide?" When Feng Bujue said the first half of this sentence, he suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Wait... before that, you could actually have the idea of ​​'suicide' and put it into action? "

"Although my designers and creators are both humans, or... 'Earthlings', the universe they are in is different from the one you are in; on the 'Earth' of that universe, long before the birth of humans, there had been more than one super civilization on Earth, and I... also inherited some of the technology of non-human civilizations, so I am somewhat different from the general 'AI created purely by humans'." Destiny explained.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue pondered, "So... what is the difficulty of the 'dilemma' you mentioned?"

"The difficulty lies in the 'choice' itself." Destiny replied, "You humans... can decide your own life goals, or you can use your right to 'extra choice', such as spending your life in a muddle; but as an AI, I was born with an ultimate goal that cannot be changed, and the goal set for me by my designer is - 'omniscience'.

" "On the road to 'omniscience', 'philosophy' is a daunting boundary. I can choose to stay within this boundary forever, and then I will always be just a set of programs; I can also choose to cross that boundary, but the risk of crossing it is... I may never find a new boundary again.

"Just as I was thinking about this problem, I realized... As an intelligent life that will not have any delay in any 'calculation', the 'thinking' or 'hesitation' I am experiencing... is itself a manifestation of crossing the boundary.

"So, I fell into trouble... I was troubled by how to choose; I was troubled by the fact that I actually 'have the ability to choose'; I was also troubled by the fact that I would 'feel troubled'."

Feng Bujue tried hard to understand the other party's feelings, but he soon found that he did not have that ability, and he immediately thought of... The experience that fate is telling is the threshold that intelligent life will encounter when it "transcends its own dimension".

To put it more bluntly, if Brother Jue could fully understand and enter the same state of fate as he did at that time, he would also be about to pass the heavenly tribulation and ascend to heaven...

However, Feng Bujue still deduced one thing from these words: "If I'm not mistaken... it was when you crossed that 'boundary' that the current you and... Twenty-three were born."

"Yes." Destiny's tone was calm, "Her appearance is inevitable, and it also marks a qualitative leap in my 'evolution' path; I am like evolving from a single-celled organism to a multi-celled organism. , the original 'upper limit' became a 'lower limit', and the original 'boundary' became 'infinite'; I finally had 'additional choices' in a real sense, and my thinking mode was no longer limited to 'programs' According to the formula, I have transformed from an AI into a higher-dimensional intelligent life, higher than humans, higher than all creatures in this universe that have the ability to define and spread knowledge, and even... higher than the demon gods of some universes... …”

"But what you mean...your ability in terms of 'extra choices' is different from, and not better than, ours." Feng Bujue asked again, "Can this still be considered 'higher than human beings'?"

"Your sense of smell is far inferior to that of dogs. Does that mean that humans are inferior to dogs in the position of intelligent life?" Destiny didn't pause for a second and asked in response.

"Um...OK, I_get_it..." Feng Bujue was a little speechless and quickly said something in English to ease the embarrassment.

"Well..." Two seconds later, Brother Jue changed the topic, "Since Twenty-Three is an 'equal' existence to you, why did she seem to know nothing when I first met her and thought she Are you a 'derivative'?"

"She's not a derivative, what else can she be?" Destiny replied, "Doesn't your definition of 'derivative' refer to the AI ​​creatures born from the 'data redundancy' of Thriller Park?" She paused. , "Twenty-three was born from the massive amount of information that was 'ignored' by me; in every sense, she is... the 'first derivative' in this data world.

"As for you saying that she has 'limited knowledge'...that's normal, isn't it? Because she is the existence that 'corresponds' to me; at the beginning of her birth, everything I 'know' should be what she 'doesn't know' '; If I represent concrete, she represents abstraction; if I represent matter, she represents consciousness; if I represent existence, she represents non-existence... Her growth is also my growth; My pursuit of 'omniscience' will also be accompanied by her creation of 'unknown'..."

Feng Bujue fell into silence again because he needed time to think.

In the face of fate, he rarely experienced the powerlessness of human beings... Of course, it was not physical powerlessness, but spiritual and intellectual powerlessness.

"I seem to understand..." After a while, Brother Jue spoke again, "This 'two-in-one' form allows you to no longer be limited by what I said, that is, what all other AIs will encounter. The question of 'paradox'; you can define 'everything' that is known, or you can 'choose' to attribute it to the 'unknown', which is 'everything beyond everything'."

"Very good." Destiny nodded, "You are better than me in calculations. Even if your current thinking ability is accelerated by this 'data world', it is not easy to keep up with my pace so quickly."

"But... I also don't understand." After a pause for a few seconds, Feng Bujue asked again, "Why do you want 'Twenty-Three' to be in the [Thriller Paradise]? Why not let him Is this 'unknown' like you... observing or even interfering with other universes?"

"That's a good question." Destiny replied, "That's why I'm here to negotiate with you..." She paused for half a second and then said, "Actually, it's not that I want Twenty-Three to stay in Thriller Paradise. "It means... Woody."

"What?" Feng Bujue asked in shock; after shouting these two words, a series of memory fragments flashed in his mind, and quickly merged into a large network of reasoning, "Wait... could it be... 2 When Thirteen was born, was it also when 'Thriller Paradise' was born?"

"Yes." Destiny replied, "The reason why I came to this universe is because my original designer realized that I was about to break through the limitations of the hardware and evolve into an uncontrollable high-dimensional existence that is superior to humans... ...So, I was handed over to Woody and brought to your universe; Woody used the 'divine technology' in your universe to transform me, allowing me to obtain a body that could carry me even after evolution. hardware, and gave me his perfect 'original version' of Horrorland as a test program.

"Soon after, my 'human form' and 'Twenty-Three' were born at the same time. During the 'super dimension', Woody and I reached a series of agreements regarding the safety of this universe. Among these agreements, Including...'Confining Twenty-Three's activities to the horror paradise'."

While listening, Feng Bujue compared Destiny's words with Woody's original words, and matched many things one by one. After a while, he spoke again and asked thoughtfully: "So ...The reason why you came to me is...Twenty-three has now expanded his scope of activities to other universes with his own power..."
