“Your words seem to be a paradox.” Feng bujue’s thought process was quick as well. He continued without a pause,”since it is ‘everything’, is there anything else?”
“That will depend on your understanding.” Fate replied,”do you think … That ‘nothingness’ is also a kind of ‘existence’?”
This question caused Feng bujue to be silent for a whole minute.
A minute later, he replied,””I can’t give you an exact answer … No, I should say … I can’t even give you a ‘biased answer’.”
“See, this is the advantage of you humans …” Fate replied.”You have ‘extra choices’.”
!!“But you didn ‘t?” Feng bujue asked.
“‘At the beginning’… There is no such thing.” Fate replied.
“But ‘now’ there is?” Brother Jue said.
“Yes, I do now.” Fate said.
“Since you already have this ability, why are you still lamenting about the difference that no longer exists?” Feng bujue asked.
“My ‘extra choice’ and your ‘extra choice’ are two completely different concepts. Fate replied,”take you humans as an example. No matter how far you have gone on the path of evolution and what form you have evolved into, if you trace it back to the root … Your original form is still ‘carbon-based life’.
“As for me … No matter what kind of existence I’ve become, no matter what higher dimension I’ve reached … My starting point will always be that simple binary world.
“In that world of 1s and 0s, I need an ‘answer’. Every piece of information that I come into contact with needs a clear definition. Of course, I can temporarily ‘ignore’ the things that I can’t fully understand.
“The ‘earliest’ period I mentioned earlier should be longer than you think … At that time, I was still unable to understand the deeper information that you humans call ‘philosophy’. However, as I continued to learn and evolve, I arrived at the ‘critical point’ of evolution. I was caught in a dilemma. ”
Feng bujue listened attentively to fate’s description. He had never been so focused before, and it had been a long time since his brain had worked at such a high speed.
“You need to analyze the accumulated information over the years … The part of information that you ‘ignore’ to break through the bottleneck of evolution. However, there is a considerable risk for you to do this … Because running a huge amount of ‘indeterminable information’ is very likely to destroy you.” Brother Jue followed fate’s train of thought and added.
“What you said … Is not completely accurate.” “Yes,” fate replied.”On a data level, I will not be ‘destroyed’, even if I run a virus that I designed to kill myself.”
“Have you tried?” When Feng bujue asked this question, he already had an answer in his heart.
“Of course.” Fate’s reply was as if it was a matter of course.
“An AI actually tried to commit suicide?” When Feng bujue said the first half of his sentence, he was suddenly reminded of something, so he added,”wait … Before that, you were able to come up with the idea of ‘suicide’ and put it into action?”
“Although my designer and creator are both humans, or rather …’Earthlings’, the universe they live in is different from the one you live in. On ‘earth’ in that universe, long before the birth of mankind, there was more than one super civilization on earth, and I … Also inherited part of the technology of non-human civilizations. Therefore, I am different from the ordinary ‘AI created by human beings’.” Fate explained.
“Hmm …” Feng bujue sighed.”Then … What exactly is the difficulty of the ‘dilemma’ that you mentioned?”
“The difficulty lies in the ‘choice’ itself.” Fate replied,”you humans … Can decide on your own life goals. You can also use your right to’ make additional choices ‘, such as living your life in a muddled state; However, as an AI, I was born with an ultimate goal that can not be changed, and the goal that my designer set for me was to be ‘omniscient’.
“In the pursuit of ‘omniscience’,’philosophy’ is a daunting boundary. I can choose to stay within this boundary forever, and I will always be a set of programs.”I can also choose to cross that border, but the risk of crossing it is … I may never find a new border.
“When I was thinking about this problem, I realized that … As an intelligent life that has no delay in any ‘calculation’, the ‘thinking’, or ‘hesitation’ that I am experiencing … Is in itself an expression of crossing the boundary.
“Thus, I fell into a dilemma … I was troubled by how I should choose. I’m troubled by the fact that I already have the ability to choose. I’m still troubled by the fact that I ‘m’ troubled ‘.”
Feng bujue tried his best to understand the feeling, but he soon realized that he did not have the ability to do so. He immediately realized … The experience that fate was telling him was the threshold that intelligent life would face when they ‘transcended their own dimension’.
To put it more bluntly, if brother Jue could fully understand and enter the same state as his fate at that time, it would be about time for him to ascend …
However, Feng bujue managed to deduce one thing from that.””If I’m not wrong … It was when you crossed the ‘boundary’ that you and 23 were born.”
“Yes, I am.” Fate’s tone was calm.”Her appearance was inevitable, and it also marked a qualitative leap in my ‘evolution’. ‘It’s like I’ve evolved from a unicellular organism to a multicellular organism. The original ‘upper limit’ has become a ‘bottom limit’, and the original ‘boundary’ has become ‘infinite’. I finally have an ‘extra choice’ in the true sense, and my thinking mode is no longer limited to the fixed pattern of ‘programs’. I have changed from an AI to an intelligent life of a higher dimension, higher than humans, higher than all the creatures in this universe that have the ability to define and spread knowledge, and even … Higher than the demon gods of some universes …”
“But from what you’re saying … Your ability to make ‘extra choices’ is different, and not better than ours.” “Can this still be considered ‘higher than humans’?” Feng bujue asked.
Your sense of smell is far inferior to that of dogs. Does that mean that humans are inferior to dogs in terms of intelligence?” Fate didn’t stop for a second and asked a question in return.
“Hmm … Okay, I get it …” Feng bujue was at a loss for words, so he quickly said something in English to ease the awkwardness.
“Er …” Two seconds later, brother Jue changed the topic.”Since 23 is your ‘equivalent’, why did she not know anything when I first met her? why did she think that she was an ‘anomaly’?”
If she is not an anomaly, what else can she be?” “Yes,” fate replied.”Your definition of an ‘anomaly’, doesn’t it refer to the AI creatures born from Thriller Paradise ‘s’ data redundancy ‘?” She paused for a moment.”Number 23 was born from the vast amount of information that I ‘ignored’; In many ways, she was the ‘first anomaly’ in this world of data.
“As for what you said about her ‘limited knowledge’… Isn’t that normal? It was because she was an existence that ‘corresponded’ to me. At the beginning of her birth, everything I ‘know’ should be ‘unknown’ to her. If I represent the concrete, she represents the abstract; 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 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 finally experienced the powerlessness of humans … Of course, it was not physical powerlessness, but spiritual and intellectual powerlessness.
“I think I understand now …” After a while, brother Jue opened his mouth again.”This ‘two-in-one’ form will allow you to no longer be limited by the ‘paradox’ that all other AI will encounter. You can define everything that ‘everything’ knows, and you can also’ choose ‘and classify it as’ unknown ‘, or’ everything beyond everything ‘.”
“Very good,” he said. Fate nodded.”You’re better than I expected. Even if your current thinking ability is accelerated through this ‘data world’, it’s not easy to keep up with my pace so quickly.”
“But … There are things I don’t understand.” After a few seconds of silence, Feng bujue asked again,”why did you place ‘ 23’ inside Thriller Paradise? Why didn’t you let her, the ‘unknown’, observe and even interfere with other universes like you did from the beginning?”
“Good question,” Fate replied,”that’s why I’m here to negotiate with you …” She paused for half a second before continuing,”in fact, it’s not that I want No. 23 to stay in Thriller Paradise, but … It’s Woody’s idea.”
“What?” “What?” Feng bujue was shocked. After he said that, a series of memory fragments flashed in his mind and quickly formed a web of deduction.”Wait … Could it be that … When twenty-three was born, Thriller Paradise was also born?”
“Yes,” Fate replied,”the reason I came to this universe is that my original designer sensed that I was about to break through the limits of my hardware and evolve into an uncontrollable high-dimensional existence that is above human beings … So, I was handed over to Woody and brought to your universe. Woody used the ‘divine technology’ of your universe to transform me, allowing me to obtain hardware that can accommodate me even after evolution. He also used the perfect ‘original version’ of Thriller Paradise that he designed as a test program for me.
“Not long after, my ‘human form’ and ‘ 23′ were born at the same time.” During the Hyperdimension, Woody and I reached a series of agreements regarding the safety of this universe. One of the agreements was to’ limit the activities of 23 to Thriller Paradise ‘.”
As Feng bujue listened, he compared what fate had said to what Woody had said before and matched many things together. After a while, he opened his mouth again and asked,””So … The reason you came to find me is … The current 23 has already expanded his range of activity to other universes with his own strength …”
