Today I’m writing a novel, tomorrow I’ll stroll around the film set, and the day after, I might take some time to have a cup of tea at the office...
Without the pressure of updating, Lin Yuan’s life is quite fulfilling.
However, Lin Yuan’s typing speed is evident.
Regarding the content of "Robot Zeroth Law," which is about five or six hundred thousand words, it didn’t take him much time.
Lin Yuan has basically finished this novel.
He just doesn’t understand why the remaining three opponents in the literary duel haven’t made a move yet; their enthusiasm for the fight is much lower than the previous seven.
I’ll publish it directly in the afternoon.
Since they’re not coming to me, I’ll take the initiative to attack!
This time, Lin Yuan has gotten smarter and checked the new books of his remaining three opponents in advance; they’re all long-form narratives.
Randomly choosing one opponent would suffice.
Using the Galactic Empire Series to respond is just right.
And the second part of the Blue Star version of the Galactic Empire Series includes the content of "The Caves of Steel," "The Naked Sun," "The Robots of Dawn," and "Robots and Empire."
Before the afternoon release, Lin Yuan wants to give the second part of the Blue Star version of the Galactic Empire Series a unified name.
"Why not call it the Robots Series?"
It’s not that Lin Yuan is being lazy; it’s mainly because the Galactic Empire Series itself is a trilogy.
The Foundation Series.
The Galactic Empire Series.
The previous "I, Robot" was just a trial run.
After all, those were a collection of short stories, relatively scattered.
Now is the full version of the Robots Series, not only providing a more detailed dissection and analysis of the Three Laws of Robotics but also explaining the origin of the Zeroth Law very clearly.
And in the past two weeks, the external discussion about the Three Laws of Robotics has remained highly popular.
The people participating in the discussion are not only science fiction writers from various continents of Blue Star and readers of this novel but also include some top figures in the field of science!
A scientist engaged in robotics research from Qin Continent read "I, Robot" and gave an interview to the media: "Recently, many people have asked me whether the Three Laws of Robotics can be broken?
What are the Three Laws of Robotics?
I’m the one making robots, but I’ve never heard of this.
Not until a friend gave me a copy of "I, Robot" did I suddenly realize, and then I marveled at Chu Kuang’s imagination!
I really like the concept proposed in this book.
I’ve recommended it to many colleagues to read.
Most of my colleagues, like me, highly agree with the Three Laws of Robotics.
As for robots breaking the laws?
Personally, I think without unnatural interference, it’s impossible for robots to change the Three Laws on their own.
Let’s start from the physical level.
The Three Laws should be basic programming logic since they are set at the time of programming, and I don’t think a robot can change the programming language from the coding level.
If a robot breaks the Three Laws?
It can only indicate one thing: someone deliberately did it because robots are human-made creations.
But this is a bit off-topic.
We’re discussing whether robots can defy the Three Laws through their own capabilities.
Since intelligence has not yet reached the level described in science fiction, we haven’t systematically summarized the Three Laws of Robotics, but our principles for making robots, or rather all the premises, are indeed to protect humans, facilitate humans, and serve humans, which coincidentally aligns with the theory proposed by Chu Kuang."
Endorsement from robotics experts!
A technical expert from Zhong Continent engaged in artificial intelligence research was also drawn into the discussion!
"The Three Laws are not perfect.
However, as the general principles for robotics, they form a perfect logical loop.
We have been engaged in artificial intelligence research for many years.
The core issue that troubles us is how to ensure the controllability of artificial intelligence?
For this, we’ve conducted countless studies.
And our most effective means coincidentally align with the Three Laws of Robotics.
I think Chu Kuang’s novel offers us significant reference value.
As a tech researcher and as a fan, I really hope Chu Kuang can continue writing about artificial intelligence."
Artificial intelligence researchers largely endorse it too!
All these made the Three Laws of Robotics ever more deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
Some sci-fi writers have also voiced their intention to reference the Three Laws of Robotics when creating novels on robot themes in the future.
The Three Laws of Robotics will shine brightly in the field of science fiction novels!
Seeing all these reactions, netizens also increasingly recognize the Three Laws of Robotics. Even if we don’t talk about those sci-fi writers, at least what the scientific and technological experts say is very convincing.
A vast number of people are still passionately discussing online:
"Chu Kuang is amazing!"
"Even tech experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics have recognized the Three Laws!"
"Mainly because the logic is too perfect!"
"Many experts are explaining that if a robot witnesses human casualties and cannot help, it might self-destruct on the spot, just like your computer blue-screening due to a system crash."
"But it seems there are also some who disagree."
"Didn’t Fan Chong lose the literary duel and say he would continue to look for loopholes?"
"Of course, there are loopholes, but not critical ones. They are variables that can be controlled, which is made very clear in the novel."
"Chu Kuang’s new update!"
Halfway through the discussion, a netizen suddenly exclaimed!
Immediately afterward.
Chu Kuang’s new update attracted numerous attention once more!
The Galactic Empire Robots Series is officially released!
This time, it’s still the blog leading the way!
Fan Chong was reading "I, Robot."
After losing the literary duel, Fan Chong has gone over this novel countless times to find a crackable loophole.
Fan Chong has already found several loopholes.
But these loopholes are not fatal enough.
Non-fatal loopholes don’t hold much significance.
This made Fan Chong particularly irritable: "Is there really no fundamental problem at all?"
Fan Chong’s phone suddenly rang.
"Chu Kuang has released a new book!"
Fan Chong was taken aback and immediately his eyes lit up: "Is it still about robots?"
"According to the notification, it’s still the Robots Series."
Fan Chong felt a surge of excitement!
Chu Kuang is still writing the Robots Series, and the more he writes, the more flaws there will be, this time I will surely find more clues to loopholes and completely overthrow his laws!
After hanging up the phone, Fan Chong quickly opened the blog and clicked into the latest release of the Robots Series by Chu Kuang!
Fan Chong stared blankly at a certain line on the computer screen.
This was the Zeroth Law of Robotics proposed by Chu Kuang:
"A robot must protect the overall interests of humanity from harm; the other three laws apply only under this premise."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Fan Chong’s mouth, and his eyes were filled with complete despair.
This time, I lost even more thoroughly!
