Chapter 774 Earthshaking Changes

Just as the people who drifted in Yanjing were called Beijing drifters.

If a person lives in New York, he is a New Yorker.

Some people say that New York is the capital of the world!

It is like a melting pot of culture, where you can see all kinds of people.

Any skin color, ethnic group, or any faith can find a place to settle down here.

The Big Apple City is full of people, inclusive and complex environments make the New Yorker unique!

If you ask a New Yorker what best represents the spirit of the city of New York, the answer may be this magazine that grew up with New York.

High-quality content and a solid reader base make it still free and willful in the current cold winter of print media.

The rest of the media have reduced their tolerance and shortened the reporting cycle because of the decrease in readers.

However, "The New Yorker" still adheres to the tradition. Important authors only publish a manuscript every two or three months, and each article with about 10,000 words takes one or two weeks to proofread.

So their style is not caused by strong winds, but due to strict control of weekly content!

Just look at the current editorial team of the New Yorker: 11 people have three types of literary and artistic critics, 15 people in the art design department, 16 people in the copyright department, 18 people in the fact verification department, 8 people in the editorial assistant, 21 people in the production, library, and public relations department.

There are also 70 special contributors, 24 comic illustrators, and 5 photographers.

The lineup is very luxurious!

The number of contracted employees is no less than that of the New York Times.

But it is just a weekly magazine, the latter is a daily newspaper.

Susie Foster is just one of these more than a hundred employees!

She thought it was a prank call, but she didn't expect that the fax machine would start to run and kept calling out more than ten A4 sheets, with the address of Random Bookstore behind it.

"This Zhang Chu really wrote a science fiction short story?"

This is the impact of information asymmetry. Susie does not have this article called "ai" in her impression.

But in order to verify the information, she Googled these keywords.

The powerful search software instantly brought the results to her, and many readers have already asked about it online!

"God, it's almost ten days. Why can't we see the English version of artificial intelligence?"

"Who goes to China's social media to remind him that many of us are still waiting."

"Actually, I have quietly used Google Translate to look at the artificial intelligence, but this translation does need to be a little more intelligent, and it is very uncomfortable to read!"

"I hate you."

"Take the artificial intelligence!"

"Artificial intelligence, Norwegian forests can't be seen, I want to say the words starting with f!"

"Why do you do this to us?"

"Heart is broken."

It turns out that this article is really there, and it has been published in Chinese in China!

Susie did search for the Chinese version of "Artificial Intelligence". She took out the results after Google translation and compared them with the version she received by fax.

"As a matter of fact, my translation is better. Google Translation needs to be strengthened!"

After confirming Zhang Chu's work, Su Xi focused on the work.

"The New Yorker" itself is very popular and does not need to take advantage of Zhang Chu's popularity.

The magazine's short articles have always been in a state of surplus. Only one article is published a week, and 99% of the works will be eliminated!

I would not say that this is a short story written by a well-known writer and that it is particularly taken care of, but that it will be more strict.

In fact, an unfavorable factor is now in front of you.

That's too many words!

Magazine has relatively strict requirements on word count. Normally, eight thousand words are the limit, and a small number of extremely excellent works can be relaxed to 10,000 words.

But in the document statistics that came from fax, more than 30,000 words were written directly, which was too much more than it!

If you are cruel to delete it, there will definitely be a lot of content to delete it, which will look fragmented and even completely change the original meaning.

Susie didn't like this article from the bottom of her heart, and she had already placed a death notice in her heart.

No chance!

However, curiosity drove her to find out what the works that could trigger complaints from netizens in Twitter, reddit, instagram and other places would look like.

It is one thing to push it or not, and it is another thing to watch it or not.

I was idle, and Susie put the printed documents in front of her desk. She habitually held the pen in her hand to prepare to comment!

As time passed, she read very slowly. Many of the habitual terms and written expressions were modified and reminded, and even some of the words were used and grammar.

Even though Shen Yunhua has lived in the United States for many years, he is still far from being an authentic American.

It may not matter in normal times, but it becomes particularly prominent at this time.

Susie wasn't ready to change the plot when she first read it, at least she had to feel that it was worth modifying it!

Nowadays, society is a fast-paced society. If Artificial Intelligence is not valued on "The New Yorker", then she is unwilling to waste time helping Zhang Chu to modify it.

A weak robot boy was given love, but it was this deep feeling that made the weak and persistent and futile pursuit of a dream that could never be realized.

This film explores the problems of human evolution, which may be a problem that society will face in the future.

With this thinking, the next question is the ethical issue of artificial intelligence.

What is the difference between humans and artificial intelligence?

The answer Zhang Chu found in this article is actually very simple. People have an independent consciousness, while artificial intelligence does not have an autonomous consciousness, and obedience is the only one. They will do whatever it takes to do for this purpose!

The ending expresses an extreme evolutionary theory idea: existence is eternal, but human existence is not eternal!

Susie pushed the glasses on her nose upwards. It was not difficult for her to see that there was a kind of thinking about the prospects of human beings and a kind of care for the lives of people and life.

These thoughts and kind thoughts transcend the story itself, and use the name of the story to sublimate it!

"These sentences seem to be Yeats's poem in "The Stolen Child", and I didn't expect it to be so appropriate in it."

After reading the first time, Susie's psychology changed drastically!

I really underestimated Zhang Chu's works. If the words are shorter, I am indeed qualified to appear in "The New Yorker"!

She is also a mother, and she can understand her mother Monica's mood.

But understanding does not mean agreeing.

Since you have adopted the robot boy, you must be responsible for him!

"It's a bit troublesome now. Do you really want to submit it as a topic for this issue?"
