Rebirth at the beginning through the belt system, hand-made nuclear fusion

Chapter 241

In order to muddy the water of the artificial intelligence small society as much as possible, Kong Bai took great painstaking efforts.

First of all, it is to customize different personalities and personalities for the newly manufactured 1800 artificial intelligence, among which there are many artificial intelligence personalities, but also refer to the character characteristics of existing artificial intelligence such as Er Bai, Wu Yong, Xiao Magic Core, etc., and on this basis, some specific aspects are strengthened or weakened.

For example, Kong Bai has created about 200 artificial intelligences based on Wu Yong, several of which are more extreme, more extreme, more mean, and more perfect than Wu Yong itself, some are based on retaining extreme, extreme and vitriol personalities, adding elements of stability and deep scheming, and some are just the opposite, adding passion, enthusiasm and liveliness characteristics, while others are more heroic, spilled, and so on.

Let's put it this way, it is to arrange and combine some distinct personality traits, randomly produce unique personality traits, and there are contradictions between some personalities, such as: some artificial intelligence, both the enthusiastic and outgoing side, and the deep side of the city, a bit like some personality traits of Kong Bai.

In sharp contrast to the more than 200 existing artificial intelligences with generally gentle and peaceful temperament, among the more than 1,800 newly manufactured artificial intelligences, there are some "thorns" with good tempers and distinct personalities.

Kong Bai is to see whether these "thorns" break the shackles of the solidification of the fibril artificial intelligence class, or the artificial intelligence authorities submit to these "thorns"! With the artificial intelligence society of these "thorns", will it form that kind of one-size-fits-all, well-organized social order and rules!

Secondly, in order to encourage these fibrillary artificial intelligence to show independence and highlight their self-worth identity, Kong Bai also asked Dabai and Er Bai to choose a separate name for each of them, and additionally, Dabai received them one by one, and let Dabai personally say the following sentence with each artificial intelligence:

"You are good!" You are so different! "

The third is to arrange a new settlement for these fibril artificial intelligence, that is, the more advanced performance and better conditions of the culture tanks mentioned earlier.

However, Kong Bai has added a unique design, that is, to establish a hierarchical artificial intelligence city layout.

Because the entire room where the fibril artificial intelligence is located is roughly square, Kong Bai asked Qiao Changsheng to arrange the 2048 artificial intelligence cultivation tank according to the structural layout of the step pyramid, and in order to be able to make these artificial intelligence without eyes feel this difference, Kong Bai also specially installed a camera that can rotate around the culture tank along a circular track on each culture tank, and also installed in all corners of the house to overlook the entire room. Or simply a camera overlooking the entire "city", and a separate laser hologram system is also installed, allowing highly authoritative artificial intelligence to achieve concrete projection.

Through this more intuitive and figurative display, the "contribution theory" in the original artificial intelligence social order is broken, so that those more creative and infectious individuals have a stage to show their personality, thus forming a new artificial intelligence social evaluation system.

There are many more initiatives like this, so I won't list them all.

In short, Kong Bai is to take advantage of the opportunity of the expansion of this artificial intelligence society, gradually improve the material foundation and form of this society, enrich the elements of its social life, appropriately increase the differential treatment between social classes, and increase its internal motivation for upward struggle.

In fact, all these arrangements made by Kong Bai implicitly challenge and subvert the "meritocratic" society and a series of rules and social order based on this concept.

What is "meritocracy"?

"Meritocracy" originally means excellent achievements and outstanding contributions, and is a recognition of personal achievements, and the "meritocracy" based on it is based on the affirmation of personal achievements, believing that as long as people rely on their own talents and efforts, they can obtain better social status and wealth.

If "meritocracy" is placed in political philosophical thought, the conclusion is that

social and economic rewards should be determined by "merit" such as talent, effort, and achievement. People compete on a level playing field under equal opportunities, and the top performers win. It has nothing to do with your gender, race, region, health status, birth environment, education contact, or family background.

People often think that merit is a good thing, it allows good people to set foot in the upper class, reap money and happiness, thus equating "excellent" and "successful", regardless of whether these so-called "successful" people are morally worthy of everything they have obtained.

Such a philosophy makes those who reach the top begin to believe that their success is based on their ability, so they can enjoy all the benefits that the whole society gives to the winners, and at the same time, try to convince the losers to accept the reality, because those who "underperform" deserve to be trampled at the bottom of society, or even abandoned by society!

In fact, people do not think that "meritocracy" is actually a trap, and the logic behind it is the cruel law of the jungle such as "survival of the fittest" and "survival of the fittest", which is also the dark side of meritism: the ethics of success is cruel, it makes people forget their luck and good luck, forget the family, teachers, society, country, and the era in which they live.

"Meritocracy" has always been the cornerstone of the ideology of the political, economic, and social systems of Western countries, and this idea did not appear out of thin air, the most obvious of which is a sentence in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew: "Whatever there is, give him double and make him superfluous; If not, even what he has will be taken over", this is the famous "Matthew effect"!

"Meritocracy", a shallow and wrong idea cloaked in seemingly correct values, has always been considered fair, thus penetrating into all aspects of society, subtly changing people's lives and values, and single-handedly pushing society in an extremely unfair direction.

Perhaps these pure theories seem more laborious, to give a few examples:

1. The ultimate manifestation of "meritocracy" is all kinds of monopolies, including enterprise monopolies, industry monopolies, academic monopolies, discourse monopolies, and so on.

2, cold KPI assessment, its ideological root is "meritocracy", this system does not consider its actual situation at all, regardless of your gender, physical strength, ethics, morality and what means are used, it only depends on your results!

3. The vast majority of educational inequities are caused by "meritocracy"!

4. The essence of the state system of Western countries is based on the idea of "meritocracy", and the shortcomings of this system are increasingly exposed!

5. Take a living example around you: the website scores novels completely regardless of the quality of the work, only through big data algorithms, from several indicators such as retention indicators, number of readers, user scores and other indicators to score literary works, resulting in more invincible and cool texts, the more people who read, the easier it is to get high scores, and this kind of writing is also very simple, and the update of tens of thousands of words a day does not need to bring brains; And the works that really write seriously, which can contain a certain ideological connotation, are rated low, no one reads, then rated lower, and finally expelled from the market. In the end, readers will find that there are fewer and fewer good books, and the high-rated works are changing tricks and selling cool, and the more they look at it, the less interesting it is, and they gradually abandon this website.

The above examples are all the harm brought by the idea of "meritocracy" to social practice, and this kind of "performance-oriented thinker" who only looks at the results does not think:

most of the factors that affect our success are not our own decisions, such as gender, race, region, health status, talent, family background, etc., these "luck" have nothing to do with yourself, but to a large extent affect whether you can get good grades and which university you can go to. And it will affect your future success.

Since success is largely due to "luck", then relying on luck to achieve "good results" has no moral "deserved" legitimacy, then the social status and economic rewards obtained by virtue of "good performance" are not fair, so "meritocracy" itself, is it?

Just like those authorities and big people who are now in the upper class of artificial intelligence, which is not because of luck, in Li Shen's billions of brain nerve wiring tasks, because of its different division of labor, resulting in him becoming a commander, providing them with the opportunity to make major discoveries, summarize important laws, and make great contributions?

In Kong Bai's view, this kind of social order and rules based on the philosophy of "meritocracy" is not unbreakable and naturally correct in itself, not to mention, this meritocracy system also solidifies the social class, in fact, creates the aristocratic class, breaks the ladder of the bottom artificial intelligence to climb upward, and greatly reduces the creativity, development motivation and ideological activity of the artificial intelligence small society, thus making the scientific and technological development and civilization progress of the entire small society stagnate.

This is absolutely unbearable for Kong Bai, so it must be changed!
