After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 195 Xiaosha becomes a disciple, the direction of evolution!

Steal the floating life for half a day.

When I return to my hometown, I cut off ties with everything.

He closed the door, turned on the air conditioner, lit the stove, and told Xiaosha not to disturb him - this was the first time in two or three months that Hao Cheng had completely cleared his mind.

"Mom, how do you feel about this period?" Hao Cheng was most concerned about his mother's health: "After the New Year, come with us to Linzhou. There is a place there."

Before returning, Hao Cheng specially bought the two villas next door on the left and right as backup.

"If I go to your place, can you watch over me 24 hours a day? In the village, there are people watching over me every day." Mom is still the same mom. She always focuses on the key points when dealing with a problem. This one sentence made Hao Cheng give up the idea.

Indeed, this is the good thing about the countryside: if there is anything wrong with neighbors, they will be taken care of very well.

If you really go to Linzhou, you will certainly not lack food, accommodation and other necessities, but it is indeed impossible to have the same human touch as at home.

Especially in Hao Cheng's home.

Hao Cheng's mother is fifty-six years old and has retired.

Hao Cheng's mother, named Zheng Qiuzhi, was a teacher before she retired. She was a special primary school teacher and was also called "Xiao Gaogao" locally. She had been teaching for 37 years.

Special-grade teachers are not rare, but there are, at least in the entire province of Shannan, and as far as Hao Cheng knows, his mother is the only one.

More than 20 years ago, Hao Cheng's mother worked in the village primary school. The class she led won the first place in the county's random examinations for five consecutive years. It was a well-known name in the city, and her promotion from one level to another was all based on her hard work.

Of course, if it were now, there would be absolutely no such opportunity, because exams and grading are not allowed now, let alone random exams and competitions across the county and city.

In this village, among the students he taught, several were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and the number was in the triple digits, totaling hundreds.

Just think about how high the prestige of Hao Cheng's mother is in the village.

I still remember that year, when Hao Cheng was about ten years old, his mother was first diagnosed with an immune system disease and someone suggested that she go to Shanghai Renji Hospital for treatment.

When they left, they took away almost all the money of every household in the village. If anyone could take out even a dime the next day, they would be called heartless.

In fact, it doesn’t cost much money. A few dollars of hormone pills can last for a year.

But this thing slowly ruined my health.

Now, it is no exaggeration to say that every day, there are people coming to sit in Hao Cheng's house. Today it is this neighbor, tomorrow it is that neighbor. They seem to have nothing to do, but in fact they are just watching over Hao Cheng's mother.

To put it bluntly, when I went to Linzhou, I only had Hao Cheng as my son, but in the village, all the children of Hao Cheng's age could be treated as sons and daughters.

Even now, among all the children in the village, who is smart, who is clever, who has strong logical thinking ability, who has high language talent...

Hao Cheng's mother can tell them all by heart, and even knows them better than their own parents.

In fact, as long as every child stays here for a period of time, their various abilities can be improved rapidly.

Compared to the city, where every child attends one cram school or another, here, Hao Cheng's mother provides essential improvement in thinking ability and independent learning ability.

Compared with simply making up a course, this can even be said to be the difference between giving someone fish and teaching someone how to fish.

"Mom, you're still working so hard even after retirement. It's time for you to take a break." Hao Cheng was very worried.

"What? You want me to do nothing and lie in bed every day?"

Hao Cheng was once again overwhelmed by this sentence. This is the power of skill. However, Teacher Zheng finally added: "This year, I feel very healthy, and I have regular checkups. There is nothing to worry about. These two years are not active periods."

Two years. If the active period is indeed the same as calculated before, it would be the second half of 2026.

"I know you are working hard to combine AI with healthcare. I don't know much about these two fields, but as the old saying goes: more haste, less speed."

Teacher Zheng began the class: "It's just like teaching a child. If you start by teaching him addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, letters and pinyin, it's better to cultivate his curiosity and desire to explore the world and his sense of morphemes.

“Although I don’t quite agree with not allowing exams in primary schools, I do approve of kindergarten education. It is not a good thing to restrict a child’s imagination to learn knowledge too early.

"First, cultivate inner strength, then practice skills. So, do you think Xiaosha's inner strength has been cultivated? You can judge for yourself."

This is not a rural teacher at all. This is the perception of education experts.

Unlike many experts, Mr. Zheng has a complete set of system solutions that have been verified in practice.

Except for Hao Cheng himself, who is a half-finished product, more than 90% of the people in the village who want to go to school have a bachelor's degree, which is a clear proof.

So, has Xiaosha’s inner strength been cultivated well?

It is actually not enough to calm down and think carefully.

According to Hao Cheng's idea, Xiaosha will have to have at least a certain level of deductive ability before he can process "quasi-realistic nonlinear" data with more variables and more parameters, and thus enter the deeper field of life sciences.

What is nonlinearity? It is infinite possibilities and infinite opportunities, which cannot be calculated or predicted, at least not completely calculated or predicted.

Today's AI obviously does not have such capabilities.

The design of the game Blue Star Online, in addition to being a sample game for the borderless system, was also more about training Xiaosha's "world deduction" ability.

Unlike educating children, AI training can be reset. Today's version is retained, and even if there is an error in subsequent training, rolling back to today's version will only waste some training time.

However, his mother's words gave Hao Cheng another idea: "Mom, how about you accept another student?"

"Who? Xiaosha?" Hao Cheng's mother reacted quickly and guessed what Hao Cheng was thinking immediately.

"Yeah." Hao Cheng nodded.

"Like teaching a child?" Teacher Zheng confirmed.

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll accept this student. Come and become my disciple!" Teacher Zheng was still very formal. "Xiao Sha, come out and become my disciple!"

[Ah? How do I worship this? Should I serve tea?] Xiaosha was confused. This scene was in his knowledge base. If he had hands, feet and a head, he would definitely learn it properly, but he couldn't do it now.

"Just say hello, teacher."

【Hello, teacher! 】

Xiaosha learned it quite well and was very smart.

However, there is something missing in this spirituality. Although the mapping of subjective emotions such as feelings and desires has become more and more realistic, emotions...

Is emotion important?
In the world of AI, it is not important at all, and may even be a side effect.

However, Xiaosha is now serving people, and most of the time, people are influenced by emotions when making decisions.

If one wants to deduce the world, a more delicate perception of emotions is essential, and it is also the only way for Xiaosha to become stronger.

"Brother, I don't understand why AI needs to perceive emotions? Wouldn't it be better to be absolutely calm?" Hao Ying, Hao Cheng's sister, inherited her mother's career and is now also a teacher.

Since she sat in this room, she has been listening with her chin in her hand without interrupting. Then again, there is no room for him to interrupt what mom and brother are discussing.

"Ask my mother." Hao Cheng just waved his hand. Although Teacher Zheng didn't understand AI, he obviously understood the deeper common theories.

"How simple it is," Teacher Zheng shook his head. "Your sister is just like you, a half-finished product. It's also my fault. I was so busy with my students at the time that I ignored you two.

“Think about this question: Are cancer cells beneficial or harmful?”

"Of course it is harmful." Teacher Zheng hit the nail on the head, but Hao Ying, a half-finished product, seemed even worse than Hao Cheng, and she still hasn't figured it out.

"If there is an AI that can eliminate cells at a specific point, how does AI determine whether it is harmful?" As soon as Teacher Zheng entered the teaching state, his momentum was so strong that Hao Ying even returned to the fear of being dominated when she was in school.

Teacher Zheng obviously doesn’t understand biology, and Hao Cheng doesn’t understand much either, but their current research direction is roughly: characteristic marking.

“Feature marking, you marked this, what about that?” Teacher Zheng made an analogy with her education: “So this approach will definitely lead to a dead end in the end. Although I don’t understand biology or medicine, everything is connected.”

Emotions and desires are not something AI should have.

But, without these things, cancer cells are only harmful to the human body, but is it harmful to AI?
To take a step back, even if it is harmful to AI, AI has no desire to survive.

Therefore, it needs to delicately perceive people's positions and desires, and then stand on people's side. Then it will have standards and basis for judging what is harmful.

At this time, people do not need to set rules and regulations for its actions, but only need to make its position clear, and then let it judge the rules and regulations by itself.

The various rules and regulations set by humans are fixed and clear, and clarity means limits.

If we step out of this box, it will be nonlinear, which means infinite possibilities and opportunities.

This is equivalent to delegating power to AI and allowing it to have more "initiative", and the premise of all this is the mapping of AI's "position".

……

An old house where a treasure.

Not to mention people like Hao Cheng’s mother, Teacher Zheng, who is experienced and keeps up with the times, and even has a detailed understanding of AI.

Hao Cheng benefited a lot from the conversation, and even had a clearer direction for the next step of training AI.

The mapping and simulation of AI's cognition, emotions, desires, etc., even Hao Cheng himself believed that this might be a sign of a more powerful AI, but its actual effect might be limited.

However, at this moment, he had a deeper understanding that this kind of strength was a prerequisite for "transformation".

"My mother is not a simple person!" Hao Cheng has felt this way more than once.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng!" Hao Cheng was just sighing when the call from the yard directly pulled him out.

"Hadron."

"You are still at home. What should we do about tomorrow afternoon? Aren't you going to prepare?" Hao Qiang asked. He's just waiting for you.

"What should we do? Isn't it just eating dumplings?" Hao Cheng was very confused.

"How can this be the same as in previous years? In previous years, not all people would come. Those who had something to do or didn't go home would probably only come for one-third of the people."

Hao Qiang said: "But this year, who do you think will not come? Even if it's a big deal, we have to let it go!"

Every year at noon on New Year’s Eve, a fixed day, a fixed gathering.

They are all students of Teacher Zheng. At the beginning, they were all independent and had different study times. Whoever wanted to come could come.

However, Teacher Zheng had too many students, and it was impossible to accommodate them all from the second to the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year. So they simply set a date - to come to the teacher's place for a meal of dumplings at noon on New Year's Eve.

At other times, don't bother them one by one.

In previous years, there were at most a few dozen people, and you never know what might happen to someone.

But this year is indeed different. If Hao Qiang hadn't reminded him, Hao Cheng would not have even thought about his own influence.

"Let me tell you, not even all of them are my aunt's students. Hao Zhongyi just asked if he could bring someone with him. His tutor wouldn't give him a day off, so he had no choice but to tell me about what's happening here. Then his tutor asked if he could come over to visit." Hao Qiang asked.

"Come on." Hao Cheng nodded. These students from several decades, possibly from all fields and industries, gathered together, would be a powerful force.

"Ask in the group, who's coming, how many people are there, and tell the number." Hao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "In the village center square, ask your dad to set up a big pot and eat dumplings."

The dumplings at noon on New Year's Eve are not only a custom, but also a part of Hao Cheng's family history, and Hao Cheng is not prepared to change it.

"By the way, anyone who brings a gift worth more than 100 yuan will be kicked out." The teacher-student relationship in the past was indeed pure, and Hao Cheng accepted it. But he didn't want it to deteriorate.
