I was originallySuper Fans, I watched it yesterdayIn addition, I received the "A Brief History of Intelligence" sent to Dangdang this morning, and suddenly felt that many things seem to be far away, but they have been approached in secret, but we didn't realize it.
The theme of the story of intelligent robots and humans has long been different. New things are new, and just N movies have been made. These stories revolve around a similar debate about whether to develop such a self-aware supercomputer. I watched it for the first timeIt should be around 1991. It may be a good action movie in the eyes of many people, but that's it. I watched it 30 times in total.I also collected the script. Of course it is a rare good action movie with first-class special effects and big scenes at the time. But it is so successful in my mind because it leaves too much worth thinking about Things.
In fact, in my opinion, intelligent machines that are tens of millions of times higher than human intelligence will appear sooner or later, and it does not need to be too far in the future. is also expounding the same point of view, the author is artificial The forerunner in the field of intelligence that advocates the theory of hardware evolution. In his view, humans in the future will be destroyed by intelligent machines. It is not due to competition for survival resources or ideological differences, but because the gap between the two parties is already extremely large.The story here is different. The ability level of the two parties will not be comparable in the future. You will not discriminate against moss, because your level is so different. When you kill a mosquito, you don’t feel that you need to think more, even though the mosquito is After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, complex organisms that have a much longer history than humans. believes that in the future, intelligent machines will also destroy humans, because humans are too stupid in comparison and too lack of existence Necessary.
Thanks James Cameron forInfused soul. The freedom of life is often like air. It is easy to be ignored because it is readily available. But when you need to do your best to fight for it, you will find that every time you have experienced in your life Sun rises and sunsets are so precious.
Sometimes I am lucky that I was born in such an era of intense human evolution. The changes that a person hundreds of years ago can experience in 80 years of life may be far away in a few years today. Beyond. It is possible to search for a solution for an hour on google. It used to take several months to search and read the books in the National Library. Too many new technologies are developing at a speed far beyond imagination like entering a particle accelerator. Today we When discussing the use of FPGA to implement evolvable artificial intelligence hardware, how long will we talk about reversible three-dimensional circuits, or quantum computing? The predictions in the field of computer science often risk being laughed at by later people. "640k memory is good for anyone Enough", "The world only needs 5 computers" These ridiculous assertions today are all made by the elite. In the past few decades, the development of computers has made amazing achievements. But they are developing at an exponential rate. In the field of computer science, the next few decades will only make people more surprised.
But engineers and scientists who are in a period of intense technological change will occasionally think about the same question: Where will these technological advances bring us?
There is a description in "A Brief History of Intelligence" that resonates with me. When I look at the starry sky, I feel that I am infinitely small. Most of the scientific achievements of mankind have been achieved in the past 100 years. 100 years to the universe What kind of concept is it? I can’t talk about it for a moment. And we’ve just been at the singularity of the explosion of this civilization. If there is another civilization that develops at this exponentially increasing rate of development for 10,000 years, what will it be like The situation? Unimaginable. Single-celled cyanobacteria are so primitive to us. What is the difference between other civilizations?
Sometimes I think about it, the evolution of organisms is too slow. Once a human life is produced, even if it is not an individual worthy of evolution on this basis, it will take nearly 3/4 of a century to be eliminated. And the next generation It takes more than 20 years to produce and accept the natural survival of the fittest. And the hardware evolution at this stage can complete tens of millions of combinations and selections in an instant, although the scale is still in its infancy. With the cooperation of quantum computing and other technologies, computing The ability is increased by another 10 orders of magnitude, and the speed of evolution cannot be imagined by human thinking. What kind of combination will be produced? Who knows.
Due to the promotion of military needs and commercial interests, such things will happen sooner or later: Machines can't completely by themselves The speed and method of understanding are internally optimized for the evolution and testing of various parts, upgrade yourself, or communicate with other individuals to obtain the best solution to apply in your own circuit. It seems that this method of random evolution to obtain structure seems very Stupid, but don't forget that humans have also developed in this way. Coupled with the immortality of machines and indescribable high-speed computing capabilities, the most terrifying thing is that this development is not linear, it is superimposed on the original basis.
Going to that extreme situation, I feel that humans are safer. In the time humans say a word, intelligent machines have already understood the history of human development and have begun to think about how to travel in time and space through wormholes. It is like a rock that needs tens of thousands of years to weather. Tell humans: "I'm changing". The humans in front of the rocks are already impatient after observing the rocks for 10 minutes. Similarly, when humans try to communicate with super intelligent machines, the intelligent machines just allocate a nanosecond to the task Then the task was cancelled due to the timeout. Humans look like rocks to the machine. During the time the machine is interested, it does not get any response, so humans are basically static dead objects.
Maybe then the intelligent machine will also feel that it is a mystery about the origin of its own. Humans have not figured out exactly how they were produced. People don't believe that things that are much inferior to us have constructed us. And once we build a A self-evolving machine, he completed the process of self-improvement and development that the organism takes tens of thousands of years to achieve in a few hours. The machine also cannot know its origin. Because evolutionary engineering cannot predict evolution with certainty. And the direction of development, after countless selections of branches, the following combination has lost the original information. Machines will not try to communicate with humans whose intelligence is dozens of orders of magnitude lower than their own, just like humans never expected cyanobacteria to tell The history of our human development. There shouldn’t be much communication between agents with differences spanning several orders of magnitude. Imagine that humans and dogs can still greet each other, and it is difficult for humans and earthworms to be friends. Earthworms don’t understand that we are here. What to do, even not aware of the existence of advanced organisms like ours. By analogy, we will not be able to overcome this large number of intellectual differences and realize the existence of advanced intelligent machines. There is no intention and impulse to communicate .
What role will humans play in the future? Maybe humans are likeWhat Sarah Connor said at the end: The future is not yet doomed, everything cares about ourselves.
