Genius Club-Chapter 506 - 84 Drama Queen_2
"The second piece of bad news,"
The secretary looked down at the paper clipped inside the folder:
"Wall Street has downgraded all our ratings. Recently, the Starlink System has been repeatedly breached, used for pranks or sabotage, which has greatly affected our reputation and investor attitudes. It has even impacted Tesla shares, causing a collapse in their value. The board is preparing to impeach you."
Jask straightened his back, unfazed:
"Now that’s what I call significant bad news! What’s next?"
"The third piece of bad news,"
The secretary raised her head:
"Apart from our Tesla factory in China, nearly all our factories, server rooms, and data centers have come under attack from Kevin Walker."
"Exactly, no investigation needed—it was Kevin Walker, he seemed to be infuriated, almost as if he wanted to kill you, so he made it very obvious. Moreover... he never seemed to bother disguising his attacks; they were all so brazen."
"But compared to the first two pieces of bad news, this doesn’t count for much. For some unknown reason, Kevin Walker’s attacks this time were weaker and slower, causing us less damage, damage that’s still within an acceptable range...of course, that’s relative to the earlier two pieces of bad news."
...
Jask chuckled:
"Of course, what else do you think my ’virus’ is for?"

The secretary cocked her head.
Not quite understanding:
"Your virus... wasn’t it designed for Artificial Intelligence? Kevin Walker is a person, are you saying your virus can make him sick?"
Jask shook his head.
His palm brushed over the seam of his trousers, touching the thumb drive in his pocket that emitted an unscientific blue glow, as if it contained flowing glass:
"Like I just told you, this virus is ’far beyond the current era’; indeed, it targets super Artificial Intelligence. That’s true."
"However, you can’t possibly think that Kevin Walker doesn’t use Artificial Intelligence, can you? It’s impossible... No matter how strong or genius the hacker, it’s absolutely impossible to breach hundreds of vulnerabilities and control hundreds of devices at the same time. Unless he’s a centipede with 800 hands, but obviously, no such alien exists in this world."
"Anyone with insight can see that Kevin Walker must also possess Artificial Intelligence, AI that’s far more powerful than the current ChatGPT on the market. Personally, I believe it’s very close to the ’baseline’ of super Artificial Intelligence."
"Kevin Walker’s skills are indeed formidable, but he’s just one person and cannot face an army alone unless he too has an army. That’s the purpose of training his Artificial Intelligence; he wants to have countless assistants, and each one is as formidable and intelligent as Kevin Walker."
At this point,
The secretary had an epiphany:
"I see... using your virus, you killed Kevin Walker’s Artificial Intelligence! You took away his army, and since the virus will forever exist in the cyber world, Kevin Walker’s strength is greatly weakened, and he will never again be able to create powerful Artificial Intelligence."
"Indeed, the trigger baseline of the virus is set based on Kevin Walker’s Artificial Intelligence. Any Artificial Intelligence AI smarter than this baseline is immediately destroyed by the virus; and any Artificial Intelligence AI stupider or less ’inspired’ than the baseline is allowed to exist. In other words... your so-called futuristic virus has capped Kevin Walker’s potential!"
"That’s also why the attack he launched against us was so weak because his current strength has significantly diminished. Even the fall of the Starlink Satellite and manual operation of NASA’s X-37B Spaceplane were done by him in person."
"It goes without saying that an individual’s mental and operational speed is limited, so our rocket was able to hit the spaceplane he had hijacked. If his Artificial Intelligence AI were still around, he could delegate other tasks to it and focus on controlling the X-37B Spaceplane himself, which would have greatly increased the likelihood of evasive maneuvers to avoid our rocket..."
"So, this was your goal, your plan, wasn’t it, Mr. Jask?"
...
Jask didn’t speak.
He smiled meaningfully:
"Not quite right, but not quite wrong, either."
"The trigger baseline of this virus was indeed set based on Kevin Walker’s Artificial Intelligence. But the target of the virus was not Kevin Walker. His AI can’t yet be considered super Artificial Intelligence; it’s still far behind a true super Artificial Intelligence."
"Even without touching Kevin Walker’s Artificial Intelligence, he can’t do much except some hacker sabotage, and poses no threat to me. I’m not afraid of his Artificial Intelligence."
"His Artificial Intelligence doesn’t think or truly create; it’s just his commands and logic replicated hundreds or thousands of times. At the end of the day, it’s still an emotionless puppet that acts on Kevin’s orders—a puppet army."
"Of course, the virus was delivered to me as it is, and I can’t comprehend this technology. Honestly, if I had the power to set the erasure baseline, I would probably use ChatGPT or even a dumber form of Artificial Intelligence as the benchmark."
When mentioning AI, Jask scoffed lightly:
