Start a Subspace

The trend of the times is overwhelming, sometimes it is like a slow snail, and there is not much progress for decades. Sometimes, it is like a wild wild horse, advancing by leaps and bounds at a speed that humans cannot imagine, leaving most people behind.

In the 24th year of the Kunlun Mountain calendar, tens of millions of young people personally cultivated by the Kunlun Mountain society gradually walked out of campus. Bring new social trends of thought.

Due to abundant resources and the gradual maturity of robotic technology, customizing a robot companion has become a very popular lifestyle among young people.

The personalities and appearances of these robots can all be customized, and they can even provide additional special services... Today, when the marriage rate is plummeting, it has evolved into a new social trend.

After a long and careful discussion, the Kunlun Mountain government officially passed the corresponding laws on robot companions and granted "highly anthropomorphic robots" a certain degree of human rights... Abuse of "robot companions" is strictly prohibited.

After purchasing a robot companion, you will be legally responsible for abandoning, destroying, abusing it, photographing its indescribable parts, and spreading obscene images.

Only adults over the age of twenty-four can purchase a robot companion.

Minors are not allowed to purchase.

Zhang Ran had a headache reading the large number of news reports in his hand. He has already created a generation gap with the new generation of young people!

These years have indeed brought about a technological explosion, but it is conceivable that all kinds of messy social phenomena have exploded in recent years.

Standing near his desk is a highly anthropomorphic robot.

This robot looks a bit like Zero, who is still sleeping, and has a twin-tailed sailor suit. The skin is made of a polymer material called xPL, which feels similar to a woman’s smooth skin.

"I heard that you have certain learning ability?"

"Yes, I study online and have 114 personality templates." She showed two dimples on her face. "My job is to tutor children to complete their education from first grade to ninth grade. I can also clean the room. It can help with hygiene, folding quilts, doing laundry, playing some simple games, telling stories, and reading novels. Currently, it has been authorized for 1,129 genuine novels."

"I can still..."

"Okay, okay, I probably know what you are capable of."

Thanks to the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence, robots are becoming more and more intelligent. They were originally used to raise the next generation of children in the "new human society".

But now...what could be more attractive than this guy! When this robot appeared in front of people, it caused the same sensation as the original longevity medicine.

The government even discussed it for a long time and divided it into radicals and conservatives. The conservatives couldn't understand why young people wanted this thing. But there has been controversy for a long time, and the government has not been able to ban this technology, even if its benefits to human society outweigh its disadvantages.

After all... the new generation of people no longer get married, but their need for love still exists. How can this need for love be prohibited?

For most people, having a child is not as good as having a pet, and having a pet is not as good as having a completely loyal robot companion.

It can also reduce behaviors such as hooking up.

As the marriage system collapses due to excessive lifespan, the proportion of college students with more than one sexual partner is increasing year by year. Rather than the gradual spread of sexual liberalism, it would be better to allow young people to customize robot companions.

"Qiuyue, you have given me a big problem!" Zhang Ran sighed, and then threw these troubles behind his mind. He could not solve social trends alone, so he could only let it go.

In addition, after two years of experimentation with the first-generation brain chip technology, the number of experimenters exceeded 100,000!

There were 146 cases of serious adverse reactions and 492 cases of mild cognitive impairment. However, humans will not stop eating due to choking due to these errors.

As experience matures and the success rate gradually increases, the government is preparing to further popularize this technology and increase the number of experiments to 1 million.

Choose a better self

This broad topic has become the most popular hot topic nowadays.

The most famous "Deep Space Daily" in the Kunlun Mountains even used the adjective "epoch-making" to describe this new technology in its home page report.

"...Human beings are very small, but humans are great. Technology changes the world, and technology creates the future."

"From now on, we will be able to choose our feelings calmly, control our emotions, and no longer succumb to instinct!"

"True freedom has arrived. This is the freedom that humans in the past have never enjoyed!"

Gu Tuo/span\u003e This symposium attracted the attention of almost all the people in Kunlun Mountain. Choose the life you want? Does character determine life? Appearance can be adjusted in this era, and character is naturally decisive.

The beautiful host Natasha still had a bright smile on her face: "As we all know, highly realistic robots have gradually become popular in our society. We can customize the personalities of our robot companions. So, have you ever thought about why we Why don’t you customize your own personality?”

"Do you want to be a cheerful person? Do you hate yourself for being weak and incompetent at a certain moment?"

"You see others making continuous progress, but you are lying in bed playing games, and you feel guilty; you obviously want to lose weight, but you can't resist the temptation of delicious food; you obviously want to exercise, but you can't feel the happiness that exercise brings."

"Do you want to customize your own character? We humans, in the near future...maybe we will be able to do this soon!"

Natasha's line directly aroused public opinion!

In this regard, the Kunlun Mountain government is more radical than ordinary people. Because according to the current experimental data, the vast majority of people hope that they can become better. After they are loaded with brain chips, they will become better in terms of moral character and personality.

But ordinary civilians don’t think so, especially the new generation of young people, who are only interested in playing with their robot companions. When I heard that I could customize my own personality in the future, I was filled with doubts. Who is willing to change his mind for no reason? Will he still be himself after changing it? This is a big problem!

Of course, there are also several severely obese patients who are eager to sign up on the Internet: "Without the willpower brought by the brain chip, my life will be over!"

"Not even the body shaping warehouse can remove my thick fat, because I can't help but eat late night snacks every night. After eating late night snacks, I feel deep regret! I go back and forth with this regret every day Repeatedly, I can’t even stand the temptation of late-night snacks.”

"I need a will-like feeling trait, really."

As the expert group gradually explained during the symposium, people are also becoming aware of this new epoch-making technology.

"There are many technical difficulties in brain chips. The first is the brain plug interface. Fortunately, we have solved this problem perfectly..."

"The second difficulty is to interfere with the operation of the brain through various micro-currents. The brain chip uses artificial neurons to connect more than 3,000 blocks of the brain. It is not square like a computer chip, but looks like A spider web filled with neural network structures.”

In front of the TV station, Professor Ding Yiwei, the first person to undergo brain chip surgery, was answering various doubts in the public's mind: "The surgery needs to be customized for each person. The current experiment cost is very high and requires 46 hours of precise control by artificial intelligence." It takes more than 3,000 hours to complete the connection of more than 3,000 brain blocks."

"Of course, with current artificial intelligence technology, the failure rate is less than one in a million."

He dared not say in his heart that the huge problem of the brain plug interface was solved by the "ghost body".

Even the entire brain-in-a-vat technology was brought about by the ghost body.

With human power, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years to completely solve these problems, or it may even never be possible!

Because human ethics simply cannot bear the death of so many experimental subjects. Without experimental questions, even the first step cannot be taken.

"Professor Ding, you have been using the brain chip for two years now. Do you think you have changed compared to before? I noticed that many netizens on the Internet are questioning whether I am the same as before after using the brain chip. Me? How should this problem be explained?"

The blonde beauty Natasha asked another difficult question. After so many years, thanks to the research and development of various longevity technologies, she still looks like a girl in her twenties, with eyes like sapphires and a smile like flowers.

Who would have thought that she had already given birth to two children with Comrade Lu Qiming...

A child hatched from an artificial womb, of course.

Technology changes life and also changes people's way of thinking.

As for a robot companion, she doesn't want it...

Professor Ding Yiwei smiled and told a short story: "The question you asked is a good one. I have thought about it before."

"Let's put it this way... When I was in college in my twenties, I once overestimated my capabilities and wanted to climb the peak of science. I wanted to stand on the shoulders of giants and single-handedly make human science take a step forward. "

"Many people must have had this fantasy when they were young, thinking that they are different. There are no two identical leaves in the world. This unique leaf must leave something to the world... This is a very It’s a romantic and naive idea, but I did think that way when I was younger.”

"But as I grow older and encounter some setbacks, and after I recognize my own weaknesses, I will be down-to-earth and do some basic work and make some trivial achievements."

Natasha opened her mouth but said nothing. Professor Ding was a master in the field of artificial intelligence.

The so-called trivial achievements, to others, are actually incomparable achievements!
