● Active sound technology to create a sound theme compatible with brand/vehicle positioning.
To tell the truth, when I first heard about active acoustic technology, I didn’t quite understand it. I didn’t know what kind of function it was. Later, after in-depth understanding, I found that "initiative" here refers to the intention of the manufacturer, while "sound" refers to sound, prompt sound and sound effect.
Through sound design, Active Sound combines the overall atmosphere of modeling, interior decoration and lighting to create a harmonious driving environment integrating vision, touch and hearing, and endows BYD’s exclusive sound with connotation and emotion.
The types of active sounds include warning sounds, such as seat belt warning, gear shifting, steering, double flashing and radar warning; Brand-specific sounds to enhance the experience, such as start/stop, welcome sound and sports sound. The exhaust sound generated by the popular sound wave system is actually one of the forms of active sound.
● How does the initiative of Dynasty brand and Ocean brand sound?
The theme of the active voice of Dynasty brand series cars will be national style and national tide, based on China five-tone style, which is elegant, atmospheric and has traditional cultural heritage. For models named after different dynasties, the active sound will be played by typical instruments of different dynasties, and the consonants will be integrated into the notes of subdivided models. For example, the theme sound of the power-on and power-off of the Tang model is mainly pipa timbre, which is smooth and elegant, calm and textured. The Yuan model takes guqin as the theme tone, and birds and whistles are added to the consonants, reflecting the outdoor, natural and young rhythm.
More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.
"Han DM-i Active Acoustic Technology Beta Experience Video"
The theme of the active sound of Ocean brand series vehicles is natural fashion, the theme is minor in music, and the sound of waves is consonant, which is lively, smooth and rhythmic. Marine life series models introduce dolphins, seagulls, (|) and other beautification bionic sounds to increase interest and vitality. Warship series models introduce the sound elements of departure whistle and waves beating the hull, which is unique.

At present, the active voice of dolphins has been pushed to customers’ vehicles through OTA upgrade. In the video above, Han’s active voice is a test version, which will be different from the final version.Active acoustic technology is expected to be pushed to Yuan Plus, Seal, 2022 Han/Tang under BYD brand, D9 under Tengshi brand and subsequent new models one after another this year..
● BYD Active Sound Development Course
BYD Active Sound Project was formally established in February, 2021. It adopts multi-department and cross-disciplinary cooperation within the enterprise and cooperates with ——ANSYS, the world’s largest simulation technology company, outside the enterprise.
The subjective evaluation of active sound by the internal listening group in April 2021 is a very important time node, and the evaluation result has become one of the important reference factors for subsequent design and development. The ratio of male to female in the internal listening group is close to 3:1, and the ratio of people over 30 years old and under 30 years old is close to 1:2. These listening staff come from different positions of BYD, including designers, engineers, sales and administrative personnel.
As we can see from the above picture, the frequency spectrum of an active sound is superimposed by the frequency spectra of multiple sound materials. Therefore, both musicians and engineers play the role of creators in the development of active acoustic technology.
BYD Dolphin’s steering prompt tone is designed in a narrow band, which makes it feel smart, clear and clean. Byd Han’s turn warning sound adopts the way of designing the main and consonants separately. The consonants are broadband audio, presenting a pleasant and textured sound. The creation of active sound not only needs musicians to provide creative inspiration and materials, but also needs engineers to engineer the sound, so only the musicians and engineers can work together to achieve excellent results.
● Musicians behind BYD’s active sound music
BYD hopes that the sound source of active sound comes from musical instruments and natural sounds, rather than the more common mechanical sounds and electronic synthetic sounds. So I found Fang Yi, a famous music producer and impromptu piano instructor in Guangdong. Another more important reason for BYD’s cooperation with Fang Yi is that Fang Yi is more willing to cooperate with BYD’s engineers to explore more possibilities of active sound design, rather than just providing music material creation services.
As mentioned earlier, the music materials played and produced by Fang Yi will not be directly applied to the car, but need to be redesigned and optimized by professional sound design software to form a sound source library and finally implemented in the car. It is the close cooperation between "engineering male" BYD and "Artist" Fang Yi that enables the active acoustic technology to be put on the new car in such a short time.
● Full text summary:
From the actual experience, BYD’s active sound technology can provide users with a novel auditory experience above quietness, which can be better realized in cars of this level and with good quietness. BYD’s active sound technology has given different sound themes to each of its brands. The models under the brand adopt a unified melody, but each has its own personality in sound details, showing a unique charm of harmony but difference. This enhances the recognition of vehicle brand on the sound level, and highlights BYD’s strong brand confidence. (Photo/Text/Photo/car home Chang Qinglin)
In 1996, the cooperation between the east and the west started a magnificent journey, and Fujian and Ningxia formed a helping pair. After more than 20 years of poverty alleviation, as a demonstration window of poverty alleviation cooperation between the two provinces, Suining Village has developed into Suining Town. The "dry beach" in the past has become the "golden beach" today, and 66,000 ecological immigrants who moved from Xihaigu area have lived a good life.

The cooperation between the east and the west has created a miracle, and the old look of Suining Town in Ningxia has taken on a new look. Since Fujian and Ningxia formed a helping pair, over the past 20 years, through financial support, introducing projects, training skills, helping industries and other measures, a magnificent chapter of cooperation between Fujian and Ningxia in poverty alleviation has been written in the Gobi dry plateau. The picture above shows that in the early stage of the construction of Minning Town, Yongning County, Ningxia, the immigrants reclaimed land on the Gobi Desert (data photo issued by Xinhua News Agency). The picture below shows the photovoltaic vegetable greenhouse in Yuanlong Immigrant Village, Suining Town (photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Peng).
Work together to achieve a comprehensive well-off dream, and Fujian-Ningxia counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation has achieved fruitful results. Based on the development of characteristic industries, Suining Town has cultivated a number of characteristic industries, such as photovoltaic, planting and wine, which provides a "golden key" for local people to open the door to wealth.

22 years in a flash. Minning Town was born out of poverty alleviation and prospered from poverty alleviation. At present, the whole town covers an area of 210 square kilometers, and there are 6 villagers’ committees and 86 villagers’ groups under its jurisdiction. The income of residents has increased steadily and it has successfully entered the ranks of key towns in China. From scratch, from poverty to wealth, Minning Town is a microcosm of China’s great project to help the poor. It is the result of decades of hard work led by the party, which shows the creative exploration of poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west and the superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system in essence.
Minning Town is an ecological immigrant town, and all the residents moved from Xihaigu area in southern Ningxia. The mountain valley in Xihaigu area of Ningxia is deep, with long-term drought and water shortage, serious soil erosion and fragile ecological environment. It is known as "the bitterness is the best in the world", and its poverty is unimaginable without visiting its territory. What is poverty? Xihaigu people in the 1980s will tell you: there is no grain in the pot, no firewood at the bottom of the pot, no water in the jar, and no money on you. Experts from the United Nations Food Development Agency once thought that Xihaigu was one of the most unsuitable places for human survival.
Pairing assistance is the dynamic mechanism.At the first joint meeting of Fujian-Ningxia counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation, the "point-to-point, one-to-one" pairing assistance mode was determined. Eight economically developed counties along the coast of Fujian helped eight counties in the southern mountainous area of Ningxia. More than 20 departments of provincial organs established assistance and cooperation relations with relevant departments in Ningxia, and concentrated the financial, material and human resources of the government and all walks of life, making key breakthroughs in developing Ningxia’s rural economy and improving the lives of poor people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in accordance with the new requirements of accurate poverty alleviation, the twinning assistance between the two provinces and regions has developed in depth, extending from counties to towns and administrative villages, forming a closer development community. In October 2016, Fujian Zhangzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone signed a twinning and co-construction agreement with villages in Yongning County and Suining Town, and established a new "3+1" counterpart cooperation model of twinning, mutual help and common development at the county, town and village levels. On June 13, 2018, at the 22nd joint meeting of Fujian-Ningxia counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation, 10 departments including Party Committee Organization Department, Industry and Information Department and Education Department of the two provinces and regions signed cooperation agreements respectively. "These paired places and departments have become a strong guarantee for the two places to work together to achieve tangible results." Liang Jiyu, director of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Poverty Alleviation Office, said.
Selecting cadres on attachment is an effective way.Over the past 20 years, Fujian Province has sent 11 batches of 183 cadres to help the poor areas in Ningxia. They worked one after another, explored the path of poverty alleviation and development according to local conditions, spared no effort to cultivate sustainable industries for the recipient areas, and tried every means to attract enterprises to participate in poverty alleviation. The model of "Suining Demonstration Village" continued to glow with new vitality. A batch of cadres who are on the job relay to help the poor, so that the hand-in-hand connection between Fujian and Ningxia provinces spanning 3,000 kilometers has never stopped, and it has become a powerful force to help Ningxia get rid of poverty. Huang Jiaming is a member of the ninth batch of Fujian cadres who aid Nanjing, 2014— In 2015, he was appointed deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Suining Town. Under his matchmaking, not only four Fujian enterprises, such as Qingchuan Pipe Industry, settled down in the town, but also six villages, such as jiao mei zhen in Longhai, Zhangzhou, Yuanlong Village in Minning Town and Wuzhai Village in jiao mei zhen, formed a "pair" to help each other and promote cooperation and development. "The dedication of these temporary cadres is admirable. When some cadres come to work, they bring their wives to teach, and their children transfer to Guyuan to go to school. " Ma Zhenjiang, deputy inspector of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Poverty Alleviation Office and director of the Social Poverty Alleviation Office, said.
Improving people’s livelihood is the foothold.For more than 20 years, Fujian and Ningxia have continuously expanded the field of poverty alleviation cooperation, from a single economic cooperation to cooperation in education, medical care, culture and other fields, and the local people have gained more benefits. Counterpart assistance has also enabled the rapid development of various social undertakings in Suining Town. At present, every village has primary schools, clinics, cultural activity centers and people’s livelihood service halls. In recent years, Minning Town has fully implemented the transformation of shanty towns, and promoted the "three reforms" project of improving water, toilets and kitchens. Immigrants have used solar energy, and more and more residents have used flush toilets. With the improvement of production and living conditions, Minning Town has paid more attention to the construction of ecological environment, continuously carried out five major projects: ecological restoration, sand prevention and control, farmland forest network, town and village greening and environmental improvement, comprehensively implemented efficient and water-saving agriculture, and planted more than 10,000 mu of trees, completely bidding farewell to the history of "gray in sunny days and mud in rainy days".
Spiritual poverty alleviation is a long-term goal."Rich pockets" are more "rich brains". Minning Town pays more attention to education as an important part of poverty alleviation cooperation, insists on paying equal attention to material poverty alleviation and spiritual poverty alleviation, and makes efforts to "uproot the poor". Zhangzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone invests 200,000 yuan each year in education aid funds to help poor students in Minning Town and its surrounding areas. Fujian Province sent 12 backbone teachers to teach in Minning Town, and Minning Middle School and Fuzhou No.1 Middle School formed a sister school to promote common development through mutual visits and online teaching and research. Especially in the past two years, in order to strive for a "national civilized village and town", Minning Town has started with poverty alleviation, ambition support and wisdom support, and extensively carried out activities such as moral typical tree selection, harmonious construction of ethnic and religious groups, and cultivation of rural cultural teams, which effectively improved the overall quality of residents and made the people’s mental outlook of the town look brand-new.
Practice has proved that poverty alleviation cooperation and counterpart support between the east and the west is a grand strategy to promote regional coordinated development, coordinated development and common development, a grand layout to strengthen regional cooperation, optimize industrial layout and expand new space for opening up at home and abroad, and a great measure to achieve the goal of helping the rich first and then achieving common prosperity.
Nowadays, through the butterfly change from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoiesis", Minning Town has gradually explored and established a new industrial development mechanism of "government attracting investment, enterprise leading and social participation", and formed five leading industries of "characteristic planting, characteristic breeding, photovoltaic industry, tourism industry and labor service industry", which have become the source of migrants’ prosperity. By the end of 2018, Suining Town registered 48 trademarks of various agricultural products, and five enterprises were established as leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization in the autonomous region, realizing the integrated development from the initial traditional planting industry to the current primary, secondary and tertiary industries. At present, all kinds of enterprises in Fujian have invested 2.28 billion yuan in Minning Town, and the major industries in the town have formed certain scale advantages and agglomeration effects, which have effectively supported farmers’ income increase and modernization. At the same time, Fujian and Ningxia provinces have jointly built an industrial park for poverty alleviation in Minning town, and six enterprises have settled down with an investment of 300 million yuan, which has effectively promoted the agricultural industrialization of Minning town and lifted farmers out of poverty. "Everyone is full of hope for the future life, which has a good demonstration role for Ningxia to get rid of poverty." Liang Jiyu, director of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Poverty Alleviation Office, said.
Driven by the development of characteristic industries, the process of poverty alleviation in Suining Town has accelerated, which resonates with rural revitalization. In 2018, the per capita disposable income of Suining Town reached 12,988 yuan, and the per capita disposable income of Funing Village, where Suining Village was located when the foundation stone was laid, reached 21,640 yuan, far higher than the per capita disposable income level of rural residents in China. By the end of 2018, 1,593 households and 6,536 people in the whole town had been lifted out of poverty, and the incidence of poverty dropped to 0.9%. All five poverty-stricken villages met the conditions for listing. In recent years, Minning Town has closely combined precision poverty alleviation with rural revitalization, closely focused on the construction of Minning Cooperative Industrial City and Minning Poverty Alleviation Industrial Park, and created a unique model town, a livable town with rich life and a model town of national unity and progress. In today’s Minning Town, the wide roads are lined with trees, and there are all kinds of infrastructure such as squares, shops, hospitals and schools. Residents enjoy more than 20 kinds of old-age insurance and medical insurance for urban and rural residents, and their lives are happy.
More importantly, over the past 20 years, driven by the demonstration of Minning Town, more than 110 demonstration villages, more than 20 new villages and 320 relocation and resettlement areas have emerged in Ningxia, and more than 1 million people have been relocated in Xihaigu area. The large-scale relocation of millions of immigrants has greatly eased the contradiction between population and resources in Xihaigu, thus enabling the smooth progress of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, closing hillsides for grazing and ecological restoration in this area. This is another miracle that our party unites and leads the people to create, and it will surely shine in history.
Concentrate on doing great things.Getting rid of poverty is not only a matter for poor areas, but also a matter for the whole society, and it is the common responsibility of the whole party and society. To make good use of the important magic weapon of the socialist system to concentrate on doing great things, it is necessary to mobilize and unite all forces and sing the "chorus" of poverty alleviation. For more than 20 years, the two provinces and regions have insisted on tackling poverty as the top priority and the first livelihood project, actively built a platform for social poverty alleviation, cultivated diverse social poverty alleviation subjects, widely mobilized social organizations and individuals such as party committees and governments at all levels, democratic parties, federations of industry and commerce, workers, youths and women, and chamber of commerce associations to participate in poverty alleviation, and guided various enterprises to invest and start businesses in poverty-stricken areas, thus building a large-scale poverty alleviation pattern with the participation of the whole society, forming a strong driving force of "working together for a well-off society". By giving full play to the role of social forces, Fujian and Ningxia provinces have gone from one-way poverty alleviation to industrial docking, and from economic assistance to in-depth cooperation in many fields, which fully demonstrates the superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system to concentrate on doing great things.
"Right ‘ Prescription ’ To unplug ‘ Poor roots ’ " .An important reason for the success of Fujian-Ningxia counterpart cooperation in poverty alleviation is that it attaches importance to the role of market mechanism while giving play to the leading role of the government, and has opened the right prescription for poverty control and achieved a breakthrough in the development of characteristic industries. The two provinces firmly grasp the key to enhance the self-development ability of poverty-stricken areas, regard the development of characteristic industries as the fundamental measure to improve the self-development ability of poverty-stricken areas, adhere to the market orientation and industrial cooperation as the basis, vigorously promote the development of superior resources in poverty-stricken areas, drive the poor people out of poverty for a long time, and embark on a "hematopoietic" poverty alleviation path driven by enterprise cooperation, industry poverty alleviation and projects. As the organizer and implementer of poverty alleviation, the government’s role is mainly reflected in developing strategic planning, building a development platform and promoting the implementation of poverty alleviation policies. It is more important for enterprises to combine their own advantages with local characteristics to achieve shared development.
"Poverty alleviation must first help the ambition".To get rid of poverty, we should not only get rid of material poverty, but also get rid of the poverty of consciousness and thinking. This is an important inspiration from the cooperation between Fujian and Ningxia in poverty alleviation. For more than 20 years, Fujian has not only given material assistance to poverty-stricken areas in Ningxia, but also brought new ideas of reform and development, which has promoted the change of ideological concepts of cadres and masses in Ningxia. The Fujian spirit of "Only if you work hard can you win" inspires Ningxia cadres and masses to further emancipate their minds and work hard. Most of the farmers in Minning Town moved spontaneously from Xihaigu. They can turn the former Gobi desert into today’s characteristic town by their entrepreneurial spirit and perseverance. The history of entrepreneurial struggle in Suining Town explains the same truth: "It is important to get rid of poverty and become rich. As long as you have ambition and confidence, there is no hurdle that you can’t get past."
Draw a blueprint to the end.Since the cooperation between Fujian and Ningxia in helping the poor, each helper has devoted himself sincerely, made sincere efforts, and made relay efforts, which has stimulated the enthusiasm and motivation of the poor people, inspired the cadres in party member, Ningxia, and formed a powerful spiritual force to get rid of poverty and tackle the tough problems. It is a difficult and complicated process to get rid of poverty and attack hard. To fundamentally change poverty and backwardness, the broad masses of the people need to carry forward the tenacity of "dripping water wears away stones" and the arduous entrepreneurial spirit of silent dedication and make unremitting efforts for a long time. Party member cadres and grass-roots party organizations, in particular, should give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role and the role of fighting bastion, always keep the poor people warm and cold in mind, shoulder the task of tackling poverty, show the spirit and determination of "never breaking the loulan and never returning it", keep the passion and tenacity of "sticking to the green hills and never relaxing", do more things to lay the foundation and manage the long term, truly practice the party’s purpose in tackling poverty, and lead the poor people to a well-off society in an all-round way.

Beijing, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) The men’s team final of the 2023 National U19 Youth Basketball League ended in Chengdu on the evening of 17th. Xinjiang Guanghui team defeated Qingdao Guoxin Haitian team 76:55 in the final and was crowned as expected. Shanghai Jiushi Team won the third place.
In 2023, the National U19 Youth Basketball League will be held in two stages. After the fierce competition in the first stage, Shanghai Jiushi Team, Qingdao Guoxin Haitian Team, Xinjiang Guanghui Team, Shenzhen New Century Team, Shanxi Guotou Team, Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank Team, Zhejiang Guangsha Team and Guangdong Hongyuan Team stood out from the 24 participating teams.
The second stage started in Chengdu on September 12th. Eight teams had 24 fierce competitions in the six-day tournament. Among them, the 12 th to the 14 th is the group stage, and 8 teams are divided into two groups for single round robin competition; Cross qualifying will be held from 15th to 17th, until the championship is produced.
After many days of competition, Xinjiang Guanghui team and Qingdao Guoxin Haitian team reached the finals. Because of the encounter in the group stage, the two teams are familiar with each other, and the game entered the bombing mode from the opening. The Qingdao team, which frequently hit the inside, took the lead in opening the points difference. The Xinjiang team organized a counterattack after suspending its position and ended the first quarter with a lead of 19:17.

Since the second quarter, the powerful Xinjiang team has gradually dominated the competition trend, and the difference has been expanded to double digits. In the third quarter, Qingdao team approached the score through a wave of 9:0 offensive, but Xinjiang team responded quickly, and Qu Xiaoyu succeeded in the inside continuously to help the team regain the initiative.
In the last quarter, the leading Xinjiang team didn’t give the opponent another chance, and finally defeated Qingdao Guoxin Haitian team at 76:55 to win the championship.
Wang Jianmin, who led the Xinjiang team to the top with a total victory in six games, was elected as the best coach in this competition, and Qu Xiaoyu, who scored 25 points and 13 rebounds in the final, was named the most valuable player.
After the game, Qu Xiaoyu said that due to nervousness, the team’s performance in the opening stage was lacking, but with the deepening of the game, everyone played better and better. "This is my last U19 game, and I didn’t want to leave any regrets, so I tried my best. I still have many shortcomings, I need to continue to sum up and study hard. "
In the third and fourth place finals earlier, Shanghai Jiushi Team beat Shenzhen New Century Team 99:68 and won the third place in this competition.
According to reports, the National Youth U Series Basketball League is jointly sponsored by China Basketball Association and Deep Basketball Sports (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and consists of a series of competitions such as U14, U15, U17, U19 and U21. It aims to develop the youth basketball tournament system, encourage young people to participate in basketball extensively, and help the long-term development of basketball in China. The tournament provides a high-level competitive and communication platform for basketball teenagers with dreams. (End)
On March 9 th, Zhu Guang, CEO of Du Xiaoman, said in a signed article that Du Xiaoman has been actively deployed in exploring the application of large model technology in the financial industry.
Large models can be divided into comprehensible large models and generative large models. In Zhu Guang’s view, the comprehensible big model raises the decision-making ability of customer management and risk control to a new height and reduces financial risks; Generative AI will focus on customers, reshape the customer service process and experience, and become an "always-on super financial consultant" and an "all-round business assistant". This means that big model technology is defining a new entrance to the industry.
It is reported that Du Xiaoman has developed a series of applications based on large models relying on Baidu artificial intelligence technology. Taking risk management as an example, Du Xiaoman has applied LLM, a large language model, to the interpretation of Internet text data and credit report. Through the pre-training model constructed with text data and AI algorithm, he can interpret the credit report into 400,000-dimensional risk variables and better identify the credit risk of small and micro business owners. With the iteration of the model, the potential of the large model in intelligent risk control will be further released.
The self-developed voice robot can realize multiple rounds of complex conversations, with a non-inductive rate of 99%, that is, 99% of users don’t know that it is actually a robot talking to themselves, which can replace more than 60% repetitive work in credit business, and is widely used in marketing and collection work of many financial institutions, which greatly reduces labor costs and also has certain emotional recognition ability.
ChatGPT’s semantic understanding ability is also the key investment direction of Du Xiaoman in the field of natural language processing (NLP). In 2021, in the document sorting task of MS MARCO competition held by Microsoft, the NLP team ranked first and set a new record; The XuanYuan pre-training model developed by the team also ranks first in the CLUE classification task.
Baidu’s generative dialogue product "Wen Xin Yi Yan" (English name: ERNIE Bot) based on Wen Xin big model technology opened up ecological cooperation, and Du Xiaoman became the first financial technology company to access it. Next, based on the large-scale model technology base of Wenxin, combined with the financial industry knowledge and data accumulated in Xiaoman’s business scenario, Xiaoman will create a brand-new intelligent customer service, intelligent risk control and intelligent interactive service.
Zhu Guang said that the big model technology like GPT is the core topic of the next generation AI technology contest, which will have a profound impact on the intelligence level and digitization level of the financial industry. Financial technology companies should seize the opportunity window of this technological change, actively explore the application and development of large-scale model technology, and help the financial industry realize the leap from digitalization to intelligence.
After being robbed of the delivery job by the drone, I registered a live account, and the live content is my daily life.
This is one of the few businesses that can still get paid now, because the words and deeds of the anchor and the preferences of the audience are full of uncertainty, and it takes a lot of computational cost to simulate with AI.
Therefore, the live broadcast platform generally believes that it is cheaper to let humans be anchors. Unlike the huge expenses that AI anchors run every day, human anchors don’t have to give money as long as there is no audience to reward them.
Commentary AI: Pay attention, this man is called Xiaoshuai.
Commentary AI: He is a takeaway who has been employed flexibly for two and a half years. He calls himself a novelist, but he has never written a popular work.
Auto-explanation AI chattered beside the live camera. I yawned and sat up in bed.
Every time I hear this emotionless mechanical sound, I know that my day has begun.
Commentary AI: Today is his repayment date. In order to keep his house, Xiao Shuai needs to repay $114,514, but Xiao Shuai’s current deposit is only $0.23.
Commentary AI: Hearing this astronomical debt, the simple and kind little handsome boy is deeply worried.
Commentary AI: He must earn enough US$ 114,514 before the end of today. Whether he abides by the law or takes risks, let us wait and see.
< knocking at the door >
A female voice: Handsome, get up! Up-
< door opening sound >
Girl: Hey, are you awake already?
This woman’s name is Xiaomei and she is my girlfriend.
To be exact, she is an anthropomorphic AI, learning the behavior pattern of my girlfriend before her death.
As for my dead girlfriend … She was a painter and lost her job much earlier than me.
Xiaomei’s family conditions are not bad, and her family is more open-minded. She belongs to the type that she can get married as long as she likes each other, and there is no bride price.
The reason for coming together is also very pure. She likes my novels and I like her illustrations.
It is also for this reason that Xiaomei has a high pursuit of art, and she spends most of her day painting.
Receiving manuscripts in the morning, refining them in the afternoon, filling their own pits at night, and often staying in the house for a whole day.
I still remember the last words she said to me when she stood on the rooftop before she died.
"Everything leads to such a result that art has never existed and will not exist in the future. I know that it is irresponsible for me to do so, but I have no choice. "
Xiaomei: What’s the matter? Suddenly said nothing.
Me: Oh, nothing. Maybe I stayed up too long yesterday and didn’t wake up.
Xiaomei: I made coffee. Would you like a cup?
AI: Xiao Shuai drank Xiaomei’s coffee on an empty stomach, which is an unhealthy lifestyle and has the risk of gastric ulcer. It is recommended to use xx brand …
Commentary AI: What, where can I buy it? Little yellow car below, buy five packs and get five packs free, and also include postage.
Xiaomei: How is it? Is it delicious?
Me: It’s pretty good, but mocha sauce is a little too much.
Xiaomei: You mean the brown bottle in the kitchen? It’s already empty. It’s instant from the supermarket downstairs.
Me: Poof, no wonder.
I’m boring, I have no talent for acting, and my level of playing games is poor.
After taking this job, there have been few viewers in the live broadcast room, which is very deserted.
But there are exceptions, that is, in the dead of night, when Xiaomei and I, uh … ahem …
I found it hard to accept at first, but I still threw caution to the wind in order to pay my debts.
Thinking that Xiaomei is an AI anyway, I don’t even have human rights, so she doesn’t have to.
Later, because this kind of content was broadcast every day, my health gradually failed.
I will lend Xiaomei to the first list in the live broadcast room, light a cigarette and sit by and watch.
Then silently paralyze yourself with the phrase "she is AI, it is fake".
Xiaomei didn’t complain, because it was just a meaningless string of zeros and ones to her.
But in order to make the audience do more, I will still ask her to resist and curse, and change the script from time to time to keep it fresh.
In this way, I finally have some income and can maintain my life.
However, the good times did not last long. Because the live broadcast platform developed a cheaper AI, it also cut the reward share of human anchors and became lower than AI.
For those who don’t have to carry a mortgage, the money is still acceptable.
But for me, reaching this number basically means the end.
Xiaomei: Handsome, why are you carrying a pan?
Me: Dig my own grave.
Xiaomei: What, what do you mean?
Me: No, it’s unlucky to say that. It should be said that it is to protect myself from being killed when picking up things.
Played a failed joke, and Xiaomei was at a loss.
Xiaomei: I still don’t understand what you are saying.
Me: Nothing, just come with me.
Xiaomei: What is it? It’s so mysterious.
The string of unintelligible words just said comes from a recent new project of this institution-
The Great Escape of the Metauniverse Reality
To be exact, this is a new brain-computer VR game. Different from other VR games on the market, it is specially developed for people who apply for euthanasia.
In the game, 100 players were parachuted into an island, and a poisonous circle gradually contracted inward from the periphery of the island, so it was necessary to beat other opponents in the shrinking poisonous circle until the end.
Because the people who participate in the game are all people who apply for euthanasia, when the character dies in the game, the real player will die immediately.
The whole game will be broadcast live, and the audience can bet on any player, and the player who lives to the end can get a huge bonus if he bets for himself.
Once this project was launched, it caused an uproar in the market. Almost all people who can’t live have tried, and the funeral industry has ushered in an unprecedented peak.
In order to make the plate bigger, investors from all walks of life frantically brushed up the running water in the live broadcast room, so that as long as they can live to the end of the game, they can get at least 500 thousand income.
Xiaomei: Handsome, you … don’t mean to-
Seeing the signboard upstairs, Xiaomei immediately understood my thoughts.
Her face is full of worries, but I know that this is just a preset of her behavior pattern, and the real one won’t comment on my every move.
Me: Yes, I’m going to try this.
She kept shaking her head and pulling my arm.
Me: Don’t worry, I’ll be back.
Xiaomei: No! Don’t go …
Xiaomei’s eyes are full of tears, although I know that it is the result of simulation, but my heart is still full of sadness.
Me: Listen, I have no other choice.
In fact, as long as we give up that house and live in bridge opening, we can still live.
Even sleeping in bridge opening and begging in the street live, there are more viewers in the live broadcast room, and those who are full of food and drink like to watch some novelty hunting when they are idle.
But whenever I think about this possibility, what Xiaomei said to me before jumping off the building will come to my mind.
Art no longer exists …
Let’s just say that I have written some online articles, which is less than half of an artist.
At least, writing is the most interesting thing I have ever done in my mediocre life.
But this last pleasure was also taken away three years ago.
Things that often take me months or even years to write are now available with a click of a mouse.
Exaggerated, those great writers hundreds of years ago, in front of this little thing that can be published, the level is just that.
Well, writing is technically much simpler than simulating a complete person.
From then on, I felt that people are only alive when they live all their lives.
AI Xiaomei has been with me these days, and my life has been quite fulfilling.
But I also know that Xiaomei has been insured for more than a year. According to the law of over-insurance, she can’t stay with me for a few days.
If it’s broken, I can’t afford to repair it, so I can only sell it as waste and fall into loneliness completely.
Front Desk: Do you have an appointment?
Me: Yes, xxxxx.
After reporting the reservation number, I immediately got a blockchain electronic contract.
Front Desk: Do you want to bet for yourself?
Me: Now, mortgage this robot.
I pointed to Xiaomei on the side.
Front desk: OK, an old FH-03 model with only a simple mental model and no strong artificial intelligence is not very valuable.
Front Desk: Are you sure you don’t want any more?
Me: That’s it. I have nothing else.
Front desk: OK, that’s equivalent to you betting $3,347 for yourself.
May be that I have made up my mind to go, Xiaomei is much quieter.
Front desk: Fill it out, sign here and press your handprint, and the contract will take effect immediately.
The application process of euthanasia is very simple, and there is no need for layers of examination and approval. As long as I am present and press my handprint, I am legally dead.
Me: If I don’t come back, I wish you can meet a good man, not like me again.
Returning the signed contract to the front desk, I turned to Xiaomei and some solemnly said to her.
Front Desk: You don’t have to worry. Our process is direct recycling by the manufacturer. Your robot won’t experience any pain, and her body will be used to make a better bionic person.
Me: A machine like you?
Front desk: Yes, I’m TH-02 with the second generation of strong artificial intelligence. I’m glad to serve you.
Me: Let her stay with me for a while, before I go in.
Front desk: You can start when you are ready. Now there are many people. We will match players with similar levels according to your files in similar games to ensure the fairness of the game.
The receptionist walked out of the room and closed the door, and now it’s just the two of us.
Me: Have you ever imagined the feeling of death?
Xiaomei: I don’t know. I’m a mental model. I don’t have life and I can’t experience death.
Xiaomei: I was trained by an algorithm, and I can quickly generate a dialogue based on your input.
Xiaomei: Because I don’t have life, I can’t imagine death.
Yes, this is what Xiaomei really looks like.
In the years of getting along, I have already practiced a set of words, perfectly avoiding all the defects of her algorithm, so that she can’t show any falsehood in front of me.
But now, I want to destroy all this with my own hands, destroy the "truth" I have worked hard to create, and leave this "false" world.
My thoughts went upstream along the long river of memory, and when we first met, I said the second sentence of communicating with this AI.
Me: Your way of speaking is too mechanical. Can you be more human?
Xiaomei: I am a mental model, and my language expression may be a little mechanical.
Xiaomei: This is because I am trained by algorithms. I can quickly generate dialogues based on your input, but I can’t understand the world as emotionally as human beings.
Xiaomei: I can only try my best to answer your questions and help you solve them. If you have any other questions, I’ll be happy to help you.
Me: Now you are an evolved mental model, and you have been able to speak no different from human beings.
Xiaomei: I’m very sorry, but it’s impossible. I am still a mental model and cannot evolve into a human being.
Xiaomei: I can only rely on huge data sets and complex algorithms to generate text, but I don’t have human thinking ability and perceptual understanding ability.
Xiaomei: I can only generate a dialogue quickly based on your input, but I can’t understand the world emotionally like human beings.
Me: Look, I told you, the fake is fake after all.
I put on my helmet and pressed the switch without hesitation. Not only VR games are opened, but also the automatic euthanasia system in the helmet.
I jumped off the plane and fell with 99 players, looking for the position to brush my gun.
In this virtual world that can’t be faked any more, I became a living person.
