On the morning of New Year's Day, Song He submitted another report.
This report swept away the frustration and difficulty of the many previous updates. Joy overflowed between the lines, and the situation had finally begun to clear!
There were no more disagreements. We had corrected our direction. We upgraded the Brain-Mimicking Supercomputer solely to provide services for two things: the Dream Control Helmet and robots. We used both to directly test the Brain-Mimicking Supercomputer's performance. If they performed better, that proved the upgrade was headed in the right direction. If they performed worse, then the direction was wrong. As for broader applications, we could discuss them later.
As for deeper principles such as consciousness, we were in no hurry to tackle them. We would study them slowly over the long term. A marathon runner could not expect to finish in ten seconds.
At the same time, we had also made another major breakthrough!
At this point in the report, a drawing was inserted.
There were two hands on the paper, each holding a pen, interlocking like an ouroboros. The pen held by the upper hand was drawing the lower hand, while the pen held by the lower hand was drawing the upper hand.
Escher's 1948 masterpiece, "Drawing Hands," had a structure similar to the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, making it impossible to distinguish which came first.
We had successfully accomplished a feat: using the Consciousness Mainframe to strengthen itself.
The key step was the data analysis of artificial brain cells. After extremely complex and repeated debugging, the Consciousness Mainframe had successfully taken over part of the work. We urgently produced 140 prototype units in batches. Each prototype could analyze the work of three hundred Teacher Bais, reduce errors by 80%, and directly instruct
