Even with all twenty rentable editing rooms operating at full capacity, the computational resources required by "Hollywood Kid" would be less than one-third of the theoretical value.

A small portion of the remaining computing power was allocated to the old film digital restoration team, while the rest was used by the research and development department.

However, Stark Studios ' research and development department also lacked the capacity to fully utilize the supercomputer's remaining computing power, and their use required application and scheduling.

Basically, anyone who applies can use it. The purpose of this is just to inform others that they will be doing a certain task during this period, and how long it is expected to last. In reality, it is still Henry and Tony Stark who are using it, and they are doing mostly private work.

Although Tony Stark primarily operated in New York on the East Coast, he could still remotely control virtual hosts on supercomputers via the internet most of the time.

In the middle of last year, in July 1995, Tatu Jürgenin of the Helsinki University of Technology in Finland published a new encrypted transmission protocol, Secure Shell Protocol, which is the famous SSH.

This program replaced insecure protocols such as Tenet, FTP, and rsh, becoming the preferred choice for many server users for remote connections.

The lightweight text mode, even with dial-up network connections, allowed Tony Stark on the East Coast to smoothly control the supercomputer on the West Coast.

Because SSH was still open-source software at this time, the supercomputer "Hollywood Kid" used a version that Henry and Tony Stark had worked together to modify.

The two initially communicated via email using a separate mail server, but later switched to leaving messages on an electronic message board set up in a hidden Docker container.

It can be said that with the advancement of computer technology, security and firewall upgrades are constantly underway. Since the two of them have nothing better to do, they'll often perform stress tests or exceptions on their programs, check in on each other, and then upgrade them.

However, this message board was always used by Henry for work reports or to compile intelligence from the West Coast. Tony Stark rarely left messages or replied. So Henry had no idea whether the young master had even seen these things.

Generally, Henry would give a report once a week. Any news not published in the newspapers, or that differed from what was reported, would be included in Henry's report. As for how to analyze and use this intelligence, that was Tony Stark's job.

Today wasn't a regular reporting day, but Henry came to the "Hollywood Kid" service center to inform the young master about the information he had just learned about Vampires.

Although he was ostensibly the one invited, the Vampires were actually after the owner of Stark Industries. If they didn't say something sooner, it would be too late once trouble struck.

Because this wasn't a regular report, Henry had no way of knowing how long it would take the young master to receive the news. Or perhaps,

These reports disappeared without a trace; nobody read them?

Actually, these things are none of Henry's business. As an employee, he should just do his job and earn his paycheck. Anyway, no matter how much he worries, the Stark Family's wealth will increase, but he won't get a share.

It took a few microseconds to organize the report content. The more time-consuming part was actually typing.

There's no way around it; keyboard input speed has its limits. If Henry had written it by hand, this amount of content wouldn't have taken him more than a minute.

After sending out the edited content, Henry, as usual, sneaked into Tony Stark's virtual machine to see what he was up to lately. Unsurprisingly, it was about Artificial Intelligence programs.

He actually began researching Artificial Intelligence a long time ago. Tony Stark's college graduation thesis, Dum-Dum, while showcasing achievements in mechanical engineering, also contained preliminary results in Artificial Intelligence.

After earning his PhD in Engineering Physics from MIT and his PhD in Aeronautical Engineering from Caltech, Tony Stark recently returned to MIT to pursue his third PhD in Artificial Intelligence.

However, Tony Stark's approach at this time was different from the AI that would later be trained with big data. Instead, it relied on a large number of automated programs, image tracking, and fuzzy logic to create Artificial Intelligence.

Simply put, this kind of Artificial Intelligence does not have the ability to "learn." It simply adds exceptions to the original program to the logic of action judgment, forming a false impression of "ability."

This is why his mechanical arm Dum-Dum does some strange things; it's simply the result of misjudging the environment and situation.

Tony Stark's current research on Artificial Intelligence using the supercomputer "Hollywood Kid" focuses on interactive responses, or so-called "dialogue."

In particular, there's the issue of sound recognition, how to convert sound into text, and then extract the action to be performed from the text. Finally, there's the question of how to provide a response after execution, or when execution fails.

Moreover, not all sounds need to elicit a response; how to apply different execution logic to different sounds are all topics in Tony Stark's research.

Perhaps this is the prototype of his future Artificial Intelligence butler, JARVIS.

But he's using a supercomputer whose primary task is graphics processing!

Henry wrote a program that used a graphics processing unit (GPU) to offload the CPU's computing power and improve performance, intending to run it on his virtual machine. Whether the young master received the notification was none of Henry's concern.

Henry's thoughts were interrupted by a notification sound; it was the message that a reply had been received from the secret message board.

Putting down the program he was working on, Henry jumped into the virtual host of the secret message board. Sure enough, there were new messages.

A wealthy philanthropist: A Vampires has targeted you, and I'm the one. Are you sure?

The information from West Coast migrant workers regarding the Continental Hotel is highly credible.

The rich young man spreading the essence of love: But according to you, they're actually targeting you and trying to drag me down with them. Couldn't you have just stopped them from doing that?

West Coast worker: They're Vampires, you know. Do you think they'll let us go now that they haven't achieved their real goal, or will they cause us more trouble? Anyway, trouble will come for you sooner or later, so I'm just letting you know in case you complain to me about not being informed beforehand.

Rich Young Master Spreading Love: Fuck! You changed my ID again! Don't do such childish things.

West Coast Idiot: You can see it. I thought I just changed my display name, sorry.

The young master, who only knows how to spread love and not enough essence: Where did you crawl in from? I've encrypted my user data.

The young master of love: Fuck! You changed it again!

West Coast Donkey: What a crappy encryption method you're using! Don't you remember this mainframe is a supercomputer? Brute-force calculations wouldn't even take much time.

Tony, enraged, yelled, "You've been using my resources again! Fine, whatever. But do you really believe in Vampires?"

West Coast Pig Luo: What If...? I didn't believe it, then it could cease to exist, and I certainly wouldn't believe it. Unfortunately, objective facts won't change based on my subjective opinion, so discussing this kind of issue is meaningless.

The great Professor Tony: I originally thought those Monster were just Mutants with some kind of ability, but Mutants abilities rarely overlap. So, according to you, it's not surprising to have groups of Vampires and Werewolves. Do you believe in magic?
