"Electronic brains, prosthetics, nanomachines, neural chips..." Duran said: "There are also capital, media, network, artificial intelligence, biological science... it's this flavor, cyberpunk."
In 1998, the growable neural chip was invented, laying the foundation for artificial intelligence. Then various technologies developed rapidly, and technology companies that mastered the technology formed chaebols, and the entire island country became a collection of companies.
But the parliament did not disappear completely at this time. After all, the company and the parliament were members of the old forces. Politicians and businessmen had a party together, and guess who was not invited? Of course it was the Self-Defense Forces.
With the development of science and technology, high-tech crimes have also been born, and various new technologies and technologies have been applied to crimes. In addition to individual crimes, business competition between companies and international disputes between countries,
Various new technologies have also been adopted.
The same is true on the battlefield, with smart tanks, new types of prosthetics, and even nuclear bombs...
This is an era in which the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, conflicts between companies are fierce, and geographical relations are becoming increasingly chaotic.
"The island nation staged "Ghost in the Shell" and the United States staged "Cyberpunk", which are all in line with the characteristics." Duran smiled happily: "In the future, there will be another "Matrix", or "Gunsma" or "Blame!"
"It's even more perfect."
"You seem to already know what to do."
Dulan smiled and said: "In the world of cyberpunk, it seems good to engage in technology, such as steel suits, Mars 133, etc. Of course, you can also engage in some biotechnology, such as Mars cockroaches, magnetic field maniacs and other technologies.
You can also be a thinker, thinking about what the human soul is, whether artificial intelligence is a human being, whether the country, a necessary evil, should be changed, the boundaries between group and individual rights, and the relationship between man and the universe. Of course, there are various
Religious behavior...can do so many things that it is impossible to do them all.”
"There is indeed a lot to do, so what are you going to do?"
"If you want to make things happen, religion is very good. Of course, hackers can do it, and engineers are good. Maybe you can try them all. The characteristic of cyberpunk is that the top management pays more and more attention to making money, and there is less and less management of the grassroots. Capital channels
It is exhausted and lacks the ability to solve social problems. In the end, each company is allowed to recruit its own troops. If the company has money and troops, the world will be in chaos."
Dinisha nodded and said: "The essence has not changed. In the final analysis, it is the same as the previous noble rebellion. It's just that the previous feudal nobles used land to divide their territory, but now capital companies rely on patents to ensure their capital territory.
.But if the company wants the patent to be valid, it needs the opportunity for arbitration.
If there is no structure, a court is needed. If there is no such third party, companies can only fight head-on and use physics to break the opponent's production capacity. Just like the first and second world wars, only in this way,
The company needs to be divided based on land again, rather than based on patents."
"Indeed, because there is no third-party protection for patents, opponents can just copy it. If a company wants to maintain its advantage, it is more effective to control the territory and refuse to communicate with its opponents. It is called a company, but it is actually a feudal lord." Duran also said: "
In the final analysis, what is the hereditary and irreplaceable thing? It is land.
, or a patent? Land is a piece of land in geography, and a patent is a piece of land in capital. To protect land, you can train the army. But it is difficult to protect patents. After all, patents are intangible, and land cannot be transferred, but patents can
It can be stolen. If a company wants to protect its patents, it is best to do so in the courts, not the military."
Dinisha said: "But if we want to maintain the courts, the parliament will not disappear. At most, it will be restored to the Senate, with the bosses of various companies forming a presidential organization. Or there will be no courts and direct reliance on force, but this will be feudalization.
, the company’s capital advantage cannot be brought into full play. After all, capital has no borders, but the container of capital has national borders.”
A multinational company can transport capital to any country, and every country will definitely welcome it. But once the capital is turned into factories and production lines, it will be difficult to leave.
It is always easy to throw away money, but it is too difficult for capital to collect money. This is that capital has no borders, but the container of capital has national borders.
Therefore, the world view of cyberpunk is usually a time of chaos, usually there are no patents anymore, and companies are the lords of the territory.
Once the land is occupied, it returns to the era of feudal lords. The company relies on technology to manage the land, but due to the need for profit, the grassroots on the land cannot get enough public facilities, so evil forces, religions, swindlers and other evil forces
breed.
Once you become a feudal lord, you cannot transfer it at will, and the subsequent war will be simple. It will destroy the opponent's production capacity, just like World War I and World War II.
In order to prevent the company from being overwhelmed by its production capacity, it is best to have a global layout and distribute factories all over the world. But once it is distributed all over the world, there will be enemies among you and you among us, and you will be under great pressure when encountering vicious competition.
. It seems that centralized management and isolation from the enemy are the best options. But if you are isolated from the enemy, you can clearly distinguish them, and it is very easy to fight...
This is the company's dilemma. The two sets of games, Fiefdom and Patent, are incompatible. Both have advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult for the company to choose.
But in the end, companies will choose fiefdoms, because fiefdoms are tangible and easier to control. Patents are intangible. Even if they are protected at all levels, they may be stolen or sold.
After all, there are many people within the company who want to make a fortune, so selling the company's confidential patents to rival companies is a good way to make a fortune. Stealing and using public tools for private use, there is no moral restriction for those who desire to make a fortune.
Companies can never promote selflessness. If employees are selfless, why should they be loyal to the company instead of the country? How to solve this problem? Be smart, eliminate selfish people, and replace them with artificial intelligence.
This is just like when the feudal nobles had a need for large-scale navigation, so they spent money on sailing, and finally created a technological tree. Now companies also have the need to control fiefdoms and patents, so they spend money to upgrade intelligence. In the end, there may be a world where human beings are destroyed by intelligence.
Timeline. Of course, it may also be the result of the happy reunion between intelligence and humans. After all, artificial intelligence is also written using human logic.
"Let's go, let's visit various factories first," Dulan said.
Companies in this world are still chaebols, which is also a Renaissance model. A large company has a number of supporting small factories under it, forming a chaebol.
"This Hanhua Precision Machinery Company is a small, late-developing company with poor technical capabilities and has never been able to write manual programs well. So it directly smuggled children, stripped the girl's soul, injected it into the robot, and designed an adult robot.
It’s really very thoughtful.”
What should we do if our technology is not good? How to improve the competitiveness of our products? Take advantage of legal loopholes and commit fraud.
"It's not a big problem. If you're caught, just bow down. It's not a big deal." Dulan said that it is very common for island countries' companies to commit fraud. Just bow down and that's it. Is it true that chaebols are really outlawed?
Chaebols are the cornerstone of society. If chaebols are eliminated, a large number of social problems will arise. The reason why island society is stable is that zombie companies are stable.
Companies cheat in order to maintain their own market. They cheat because they no longer have the ability to continue to improve. Just like a student who scored 80% in the exam, it will be difficult for him to get 90% in the next exam, not to mention the market's negative attitude toward them.
The requirements are getting higher and higher.
Just like everyone's requirements for fruit phones, they all hope that fruit phones will be innovative. But the problem is that it is too difficult. If an innovation fails and fruit stocks plummet, consumers will not sympathize with fruit phones and will only switch to another product.
The same goes for robot companies. Their technical capabilities are limited and they cannot produce robots that meet the market, so they have to fake them. They use imperfect soul-stripping technology and pretend to be intelligent programs.
This kind of robot equipped with fake intelligence became very popular once it was launched. Many people believe that this is the most realistic artificial intelligence and its performance in all aspects is excellent.
"Let's take another look. I estimate that nine out of ten chaebols in the island country will commit fraud, because they will not expose it from top to bottom and will acquiesce. Because every employee is a vested interest of the chaebol. I remember a bodyguard said
Past: Blind resistance is worthless. The company’s millions of employees are innocent. But they are not innocent, because in order to protect their own interests, millions of employees will choose to acquiesce even if they know that the company is cheating and that the company is doing nothing.
, and even cheated together because they took the company’s dividends.”
