So the boss has some doubts about Ryan.

October 27, 1959

An unpleasant night with Lun. After dinner, everything started. He appeared in my room, shook his fingers on me, and said: "Oli, you have been avoiding me. It is painful. Thinking we are good friends, thin and thin, Until debt and death break us up."

I immediately saw him drunk-he always confuses him when he was drunk-I tried to appease him by explaining what it was not; I was very busy

He said: "If we are good friends, then come and drink beer with me."

I didn't get rid of him, so I followed him to his car, and we drove to the dirty little bar in the black part of the town. As soon as we sat in the booth, Lun borrowed all of my nickel, put them on the jukebox, and pressed the lever to save many old Louis Armstrong records.

"I'm sorry, boy," he said. "I know you hate this kind of real jazz, but you can't reunite without music, and there is no polka, cowboy ballad, or hillbilly in the box. They lack folklore on this side of the track." I have always been interested in folk music. mean.

I asked him what he was doing during the day.

"Tidy it up," he said. "It stinks when you drink." He still likes to use the most gorgeous language. I think this is an infant form of protest against what he considers to be the "humility" attitude of academic staff. "I was a little restless this morning, so I avoided the game, beat it to New York, and lifted my friend Steve Lundy in the village. After the afternoon, we liquidated our joint assets. We liquidated us. Assets in the union."

What I want to know is, is he upset?

"It's been three years now." His face became solemn, as if he was thinking carefully. "I will revise the statement. Speak **** in Aesop's language. I have been lush and green for three consecutive years. Since then-"

If this is a personal problem, I suggest.

"This is not a personal matter," he imitated me. "Guess I can tell an old cybernetics expert. Because I was afraid of three years, I became lush. Because three years ago, I was afraid of three years because I saw a machine defeating a person when playing chess. "

Is it a chess machine? I said it was fun.

"I didn't tell you the whole truth that day," Lun murmured. "Of course, I do work on a computer, but I didn't participate directly from there. During this time, I worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories for two years. Claude Shannon-or, first of all, Norbert Wei Na returned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it was very complicated.

"Look," I said, "are you sure you want to talk about it?"

"Don't wear loyal vows on your sleeves anymore," he said belligerently. "Of course, I want to talk. The greatest subject I know. From the very beginning. The whole thing started in the 1930s. The two refugee mathematicians were the advanced institutes where Einstein was around. Von Morgan and, no, and. Do you remember that they did a mathematical analysis of all possible games, poker, toss, chess, bridge, etc., and wrote their numbers in quantities you know for sure Discovery, game theory.

"Well, this started Wiener. You may remember that when he established the science of cybernetics, he announced that based on game theory, it is feasible to design a robot computer that can play better than normal games. After that, Bell Claude Shannon of the laboratory dates back to the 49s, maybe the 50s. He said that Wiener was not just talking, but also proving that he was going to build robotic chess players. Sometime in 53 years, I left- Project and assigned to work with him."

I interrupted and said, "Maybe we should start over. I have a lot of work to do."

He said: "The night is very young, you really do your job. Where am I? Bell, oh. At first, our electronic pawnshop fader was not very hot. It can beat a bad player in pants, but experts make it look very good. Stupid, but we have been improving it, seeing it, and adding more and more electronic expectations and game secrets to it, and finally, one day in 55 years, we think we have solved all the problems and are ready to go big Scale test. Of course, by then, Washington has stepped in and taken over the entire project.

"Well, we caught the world champion chess player, let him sit down, and put the robot on him. For four consecutive hours, we followed the game, the big brass delegation from Washington, for four consecutive hours, the machine was in every game Everyone hits during the game. That's the day I started to feel scared.

What is he afraid of? In my opinion, he should be happy.

He said, "Listen, Ollie, for Christ's sake, stop talking like a boy scout."

If he wants to insult me,

"No intentional insults. Just listen. I am a terrible chess player. Any five-year-old boy can tie his head with his head and become my companion. But the machine I made and helped make is chess. Champion In other words, my brain has given birth to a brain that can do things my brain can’t do. Don’t you think it’s scary?”

"Not at all," I said. "You make machines, don't you? So no matter what it does, it is just an extension of you. You should be proud of designing powerful new tools."

"Some tools." He sneered. Now that he is drunk, I can hardly understand what he is talking about. "The boys of the General Staff in Washington were all taken aback by this gadget, and for good reason-they understood that mechanized warfare was just the most complicated game ever invented by mankind, a complicated form of chess. They saw, When a war game becomes so complicated, the task of controlling and guiding it becomes extremely cumbersome for any number of human brains, anyway, agile.

"In other words, for my crazy Boy Scouts, modern warfare only needs this strategic tool; the General Staff must be mechanized with everything else. Therefore, the boys at the Pentagon established and handed over the most important cybernetic project Up to us: to build super super chess players who can supervise complex military operations, maybe later on the entire battle, or even finally a global war.

"Our goal is a military strategic machine, which can extract reports from various departments from time to time on the basis of a stable information flow, formulate a flexible overall strategy, and formulate specific tactical instructions. Wiener Warning, this may happen, he is right, a very beautiful tool, don't mind how far we have come to this matter, but I will tell you: today I am more scared than before three years ago."

So this is the secret! The most outstanding machine in the history of the human mind! Even as a relative outsider, it is difficult to conceal the thrill of excitement.

"Why are you all upset?" I said. "This may be the most exciting tool ever. It may completely eliminate war."

Quiet for a while, took a sip of beer, and then looked out into space. Then he turned to me.

He said: "Steve Lundy has a lovely idea." "He told me about it this afternoon. You see, he is a gangster, but he has a good mind and read a lot of books. Among other things, he Very clever, I know at a glance that after the game is formulated, there is at least a logical possibility to convert yours into what he calls a strategic integrator and computer, and he just guessed from the Pentagon’s confidentiality policy, this is where we are Therefore, he insisted on the theme of Esiak, I listened."

"What's his idea?" I asked.
