Xiaoming Raises Birds
Xiang Kun sat at the now-cleared dining table, facing a plate of rabbit meat, recalling Tang Baona's emotions during the meal earlier.
Xiang Kun had previously envisioned how to transform the emotions of others, collected through "Emotional Injection" items, into his own emotions that could be used through "Emotional Assimilation."
His idea is to perceive the emotions of others, and then "imagine" and "reconstruct" those emotions in reality, making them his own.
But now, sitting at the table, looking at the plate of rabbit meat, he could recall the joy, delight, and excitement Tang Baona felt when she ate the dishes that had been slightly modified to suit her taste. He could also feel the pleasure of having her appetite satisfied after tasting the delicious food.
However, Xiang Kun discovered that while it was relatively easy for him to "imagine" and "reconstruct" Tang Baona's emotions in real time through her chopsticks during meals, it was now becoming somewhat difficult.
After all, although his sense of taste is still there, and even more developed now, he has no appetite for ordinary food. It is indeed very difficult for him to construct and enter that situation of being obsessed with food through the emotions in his memories.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If recalling Tang Baona's emotions were useful, then he could just recall his own emotions when he tasted delicious food in the past.
However, when dining with multiple people, if he were to directly "reconstruct" himself, he was afraid that he might actually "hypnotize" himself, enter the emotional state, and start eating heartily. If he ate too much, the two pebbles in his stomach wouldn't be able to "hold" him down, and he would vomit them out right there on the table. That scene would be... tsk tsk.
However, the chopsticks have now been given to Tang Baona. In the future, when it's mealtime, she can sense the chopsticks and then prepare some food for herself, to "imagine" and "experience" the meal.
But even if Tang Baona ate food cooked by others, even in upscale restaurants, she probably wouldn't have a better experience than eating his cooking now.
Moreover, Xiang Kun always felt that although Tang Baona was very excited when eating, this excitement was like her own personality, with a hint of restraint, and not "explosive" enough.
If the emotions could have been a bit more "outburst" and more powerful, perhaps it would have been easier to empathize with Xiang Kun during the interaction?
But Tang Baona was already the person he had the most refined taste for besides his parents, and his parents' emotions were probably even more reserved than Tang Baona's.
Who around us would be a suitable subject for this kind of appetite assessment?
Xiang Kun suddenly thought of his former neighbor, the Little Chubby Girl Liu Shiling. When that girl ate something delicious, she really wanted to eat the bowl and even her tongue.
Thinking of the Little Chubby Girl, Xiang Kun subconsciously checked the Coin and A4 paper he had given her, and then froze.
The sensitivity of the Coin decreased significantly again! The decrease was less noticeable with the A4 paper, but the difference was still perceptible.
It seems that after I finish dealing with Director Lin and Zhang Qian's project, I'll have to find time to make another trip to Star City and try to see that Little Chubby Girl again.
What's so special about this girl?
Why did the sensitivity of all the other things that had established a "Super-Sensory Link" with Xiang Kun not decrease, but only the two items in her possession decreased so much?
During this next period of intense work, Xiang Kun continued to "seclude himself" to work on projects.
In this project alone, which he collaborated on with Director Lin and Zhang Qian's company, Xiang Kun is now essentially a half-product manager, half-project manager, architect, chief engineer, interaction designer...
Based on the previous requirements, he designed the framework of the entire project and personally handled the coding of several core modules. For other modules, he either provided implementation methods or solutions based on different needs, or designed different strategies and created unified specifications.
Wireframes of all interfaces were created, and the UI elements and layouts of all key interfaces were determined.
Then, based on the work he had done and arranged, he would tell his "old buddy" Ma Hongguo, who was currently recruiting in Pengcheng, via QQ, the direction for building the team, the criteria for recruitment, the positions to be filled, the type of people to be recruited, and the necessary skills, etc.
After completing this project, Xiang Kun did not intend to continue making money from them. Instead, he hoped that the subsequent maintenance, expansion, and iteration could be handled by the team assembled by Ma Hongguo, and he would gradually fade out of the picture—after all, he was communicating with them remotely and only had five days a week.
However, Xiang Kun did not hand over the specifics of what he had created to Ma Hongguo or Director Lin, because such a speed was too unbelievable for them. Moreover, Ma Hongguo's team had not yet been assembled, so even if he gave these things to him, it would not improve the speed of project completion.
He can use the funding provided there to research and experiment with his own "AI assistant project".
After signing the contract, Director Lin transferred 200,000 yuan as an advance payment to Xiang Kun, and said that if he purchased equipment for the project, he could apply for reimbursement by presenting the invoices.
Actually, this project has nothing to do with Xiang Kun's "AI Assistant Plan". But just like many NBA players hire coaches to practice boxing and other sports during the offseason to improve their reaction and other abilities, Xiang Kun also wants to make money through this project while finding inspiration through actual work and seeing if he can come up with any new ideas.
Therefore, when implementing several core functional modules, Xiang Kun even used inline assembly in the core code area.
CPUs can only recognize binary instructions of 0s and 1s, while assembly language is the lowest-level language closest to machine language. In the early days when hardware performance was relatively poor, assembly language was used during development to improve program performance and responsiveness. However, hardware devices have developed rapidly, and compiler optimizations are now very good. Hand-written assembly is not necessarily more efficient. On the contrary, the difficulty in reading, complexity, and large amount of data makes the subsequent maintenance difficulties far outweigh the negligible performance improvement it brings.
In most cases, if performance is a priority, C++ is sufficient, and C is rarely used anymore. Apart from a few scenarios such as embedded development, most developers do not need to use assembly language directly for development.
However, Xiang Kun was deliberately "creating trouble" for himself because his purpose in undertaking this project was to find inspiration for his "AI assistant plan".
Since assembly language is closest to machine language and easier for the CPU to understand, Xiang Kun wanted to "introduce" the computer's way of thinking through writing and thinking about this small part of the code, wondering if there was any way to break through the current implementation methods of artificial intelligence.
Moreover, assembly language offers greater flexibility than other high-level languages in certain situations.
After completing the assembly code for that small core module under ARM, he even masochistically wrote the x86 version of that code by hand.
But despite the rapid progress of the project, Xiang Kun still had no clue about his inspiration for the "AI assistant".
Xiang Kun is now a bit ambitious and greedy. He really doesn't want to create a simple "silly AI"; he wants to create a "super AI."
To use a simple analogy:
A young man named Xiaoming raised a flock of birds, which were very obedient under his training.
Mr. Wang was very dissatisfied with his neighbor, Ms. Yang, so he went to find Xiao Ming, a young man who kept birds.
Mr. Wang: "Help me get revenge on her." -- This is the request made by the client.
Xiao Ming: "How about I have these birds fly over Ms. Yang's house, sometimes forming an S, sometimes a B?" -- This is a communication plan.
Boss Wang: "Okay, let's do it that way."
If we consider these birds as "computers," then Xiaoming is the "programmer" or "developer."
This training process is the programming process.
The only "machine language" the flock of birds understands is: give them food, or don't give them food.
As for the other content, it is all trained based on this foundation.
"Let these birds fly over Ms. Yang's house, sometimes forming an S, sometimes a B." -- This is the specific requirement.
"Xiao Ming thought: I first guide the positions of a few lead birds, and then the other birds will naturally follow. By repeating this process, I can make them form the shape I want." -- This is an algorithm.
"I won't feed the bird until it's in the right spot; otherwise, I will." -- This is a function.
No matter how well Xiaoming trains the bird, how perfectly it obeys his commands, or how easily he can make it do specific things with just a shout, or how it can fly into the sky and form an S or B shape, seemingly possessing human-like intelligence, in reality, what they truly understand is still:
They give you food, or they don't.
Therefore, the existence of a super AI is equivalent to making the flock of birds directly understand. "I want you to fly over Ms. Yang's house, sometimes in an S shape, sometimes in a B shape."
It can even be interpreted more directly as. "Help me get revenge on her."
By then, Boss Wang will have direct access to the birds, and Xiao Ming can either retire or focus on feeding, watering, and cleaning up after the birds, ensuring they live comfortably.
What Xiang Kun needs to do now is to train a bird from the very beginning, give it the power of a bird king, and then make it understand his words—truly understand them!
When the time comes, just tell the Bird King what needs to be done, and the Bird King will lead a group of working birds to complete the task on their own. As for how to complete it, Xiang Kun doesn't need to care or know.
If trained properly, let alone getting them to strike an S or B pose, you could even get the king bird to lead the flock in a dance to Paradise. It might even be able to read your mind and sing a majestic song for you.
You said, "I want to get revenge on Ms. Yang."
It would proactively reply, "Then should I lead my underlings to poop together over Ms. Yang's house? Still not satisfied? How about we peck at her windows in the middle of the night? Or should we team up and fly over her house, making an 'S' shape here and a 'B' shape there?"
Of course, more likely it will take the birdseed you gave it and share it with other working birds, then lie there sunbathing, doing absolutely nothing. It might even poop on your head, implying that it's not targeting anyone in particular, you were just randomly chosen.
