"The Killing Game will randomly select players from the human population, but some think tank institutions researching the Killing Game believe that the system will prioritize those who have innate advantages, developmental potential, and adaptability, making them players."

Black Trojan said, "Coincidentally, those who can be selected into Whale Song are elite talents in the field of computer science who have the same ideological line as the Whale Song organization. Therefore, after the Killing Game started, many players emerged from within the old Whale Song organization's hundreds of members. These players immediately formulated a detailed and rigorous ideological test, personality test, and social form tendency test similar to politscales, and gave the test to the internal members of the Whale Song organization, screening out like-minded people whose thinking had not deteriorated, and told them the inside story of the Killing Game."

"According to the original development trajectory, the Whale Song organization might never have the day to fully fight against the personification of capital, but the Killing Game has infinite possibilities. This infinite possibility can not only give individual players powerful abilities that are difficult to describe, but also promote the development of human society in an unprecedented way, just like the accelerated return law of human civilization in futurology."

Black Trojan took a breath. At this time, his wrists and ankles had begun to slowly heal, and the pain transmitted had also lessened a lot.

"In the past, technological breakthroughs that human civilization needed ten or twenty years to achieve may only take a month or two with the help of the Killing Game. New materials, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics, and nuclear fusion are no longer out of reach, no longer just 50 years away. Therefore, the veterans of the Whale Song organization judged that the original intention of their organization might have realistic conditions that could be realized in the near future."

Black Trojan paused, gently twisting his neck to make himself less uncomfortable. "Presumably, you two have also heard about the recent hot news? Prometheus Laboratories in the United States has developed a prototype of a self-replicating robotic arm called Daedalus. As long as appropriate programs are written and parts for different purposes are installed, the robotic arm can adapt to industrial manufacturing in most situations."

Li Ang had also heard of this news. Prometheus Laboratories is a high-tech company that has emerged in recent years. Its creator is not only a very outstanding monster-level scientist spanning various fields, but also a businessman who is good at maneuvering, and within a few years, he has developed the company into a new favorite in Silicon Valley, a darling of Wall Street, and a jewel of America.

However, the newly released Daedalus robotic arm seems to have caused considerable controversy in the United States. The robotic arm can self-replicate, one making two, two making four. According to the predictions given by think tanks, in just a few months, the Daedalus robotic arm can produce millions of units. What is even more terrifying is that these robotic arms are inexpensive, can repair each other, and can perfectly adapt to most industrial production needs, completely surpassing human labor in terms of efficiency and economy.

It will cause millions of American industrial workers to lose their jobs completely. The first robotic arm factory of Prometheus Laboratories has just been completed in Detroit, which has aroused workers' protests and demonstrations all over the United States. The boss of Prometheus Laboratories, who has an excellent reputation, has also been criticized by workers as a vampire.

Of course, the trend of the times is mighty, no matter how the American workers protest, under the triple impetus of Detroit, America, and Wall Street, the Daedalus robotic arm factory is still built.

"The Whale Song organization, which had long recognized the powerful driving force of the Killing Game for the development of human civilization, immediately invaded the database of Prometheus Laboratories and analyzed the artificial intelligence controlling the robotic arm," Black Trojan continued, "We found that Prometheus Laboratories named the artificial intelligence controlling the robotic arm 'Kindling'. According to our tests, Kindling AI can only be regarded as weak artificial intelligence, far less intelligent than cockroaches and worms, but it has shown a very promising intelligent learning model. The development of intelligence is exponential. The development speed of weak artificial intelligence may be much faster than we think. Once the AI's way of thinking crosses the critical point, the weak artificial intelligence that can only be compared to cockroaches will learn very quickly from cockroaches to rats, monkeys, pigs, dolphins, and even humans."

Li Ang frowned, "Recursion."

"That's right, it's recursive autonomous evolution."

Black Trojan said, "Assuming that the current intelligence level of weak artificial intelligence is a cockroach, because the calculation speed is too fast, this cockroach will constantly think, try and err, and learn at a speed thousands of times faster than other cockroaches, reaching the intelligence level of a monkey. And monkey-level artificial intelligence will evolve faster than cockroach-level, immediately reaching the level of human intellectual disability. No matter how intellectually disabled, it is also a human being. If he can think and try and err at a speed of tens of thousands of times per second, it will not take long to become a normal intelligent human being. At this point, it's a little scary. Artificial intelligence with human intelligence will madly absorb the knowledge of the human world and continuously improve itself at a rocket-like speed, reaching the intelligence level of a genius like Einstein. Imagine an Einstein who never tires and is always thinking at 1000 times the time flow rate..."

Black Trojan said quietly, "There is only one ending, intelligent explosion. Of course, even within Whale Song, it is believed that the future of intelligent explosion may be too advanced and will fall into the trap of the elevator effect, so they refuse to think deeply. What we are considering is that in the current environment, weak artificial intelligence and automated mechanical technology will sooner or later be fully rolled out, and the personified capital group will gain great productivity. At that time, whether it is supporting humans, or raising, fostering, feeding, or even keeping humans in captivity, it is up to the personified capital to decide, and the people at the bottom will fall into the weakest situation. Therefore, some people within Whale Song have formulated a plan."

Li Ang understood and said, "This is probably why you approached the programmer."

"Yes."

Black Trojan showed a wry smile, "Whale Song was a very loose organization at the beginning of its establishment. Members do not meet each other, but only communicate through the Internet. There is only a rough hierarchical relationship between them. The overly loose organizational form has also created differences within Whale Song. Most of the people in Whale Song are elites in the field of computer science. Although everyone agrees that the key cannot be handed over to capital, there are differences in the ultimate ownership of the key. Some people are radicals, believing that the key should be kept by Whale Song itself. They should not only develop artificial intelligence technology themselves, but also use hacking technology and real-world physical attacks to combat capital's research on artificial intelligence. Some people are pacifists, believing that the key should be kept by the East, that is, us. To this end, we must carefully and cautiously promote the development of the key and supervise the ownership of the key. There are also some people who are suicide bombers, believing that no one is qualified to own the key. The existence of the key itself may cause intelligent explosions, creating a God above all human beings. To this end, the suicide bombers must not only attack all forces' research on artificial intelligence, but also eradicate the possibility of artificial intelligence once and for all. The above three factions have their own disputes. Each faction can extend a theory or ideal social form, arguing and debating endlessly."

Li Ang smiled and said, "Which faction do you belong to?"

Black Trojan said, "I belong to the pacifist faction within the Whale Song organization. This time I came to Yin City to deal with some incidents caused by the radicals..." Speaking of this, he tilted his head and glanced at Chen Fu, who was fainting and leaning against the wall (Li Ang's psionic energy was not enough, so he simply knocked Chen Fu unconscious), and said, "The radicals within Whale Song, in order to recruit troops and expand their influence, created a cognitive bias curse and widely distributed it on the github platform, where programmers often appear, to recruit programmers who meet Whale Song's access standards. After the curse takes effect, they will send people to contact them and absorb them into the Whale Song organization."

Li Ang shook his head, "As a result, you guys screwed up."

"Yes." Black Trojan smiled bitterly, "The curse effect made by the player belonging to the radical faction of Whale Song is so good that it will not only subtly affect the subject's three views, but also excessively stimulate their rebellious consciousness. In the real world, they will take the initiative to attack and kill those personified capital groups who insult them. A few days ago, after discovering that the radical faction had released the curse, the pacifist faction immediately cleared the pages containing the cognitive curse deviation, but those ordinary people who had been affected by the curse still need us to make direct contact in the real world to eliminate the impact. Just now, I used hacking software to lock Chen Fu's citizen information and specific location, and when I wanted to remove the curse from him, I found that he had been hijacked by you. While I was still hesitating whether to retreat, you came up and subdued me directly—just like now."
