Xu Yi: All kinds of random thoughts starting with "Ex Machina"

Is there any possibility that we humans are the technological crystallization of a dominant creature on the earth. They made up clues about our origins. We ended them.
Then, I thought, I inherited them, and also inherited those clues. The evidence found by Darwin and his theory only proves that there was an evolutionary civilization. But that civilization, not us, is considered us. We and apes have different paths, but we are forced together by various reasons. But scientists just can't find the part where the two are excessive, so they have to call it a mutation.
Now, let's make one more thing, something that is enough to end us. Yes, I have thought about the possibility of the end of several human civilizations, but now I understand that the biggest possibility is that we made this thing ourselves. Metabolism is an organism, and the real change of dynasty is definitely a brand-new self created by oneself. So what we're going to do is called a robot.
The latest movie, "Roboji" is about this thing. Spoilers are boring things, mainly because you retell the story, and in any case, it can't be better than the movie. Of course, I watch movies, and I like to think wildly, and at the beginning of a plot, I will imagine a number of possibilities for extension. There is a good chance of guessing right, but I prefer to guess wrong. Always guessing right, it is easy to make me look down on the screenwriting industry. I thought I could do it myself.
By the way, the movie "Planet of the Apes" actually tells the story I imagined, but the species is reversed. Theoretically it should tell the story of highly developed apes being wiped out by genetically mutated humans. Before, humans were just pets, experimental animals, and labor substitutes.
Human beings have the consciousness of enslaving the same kind, and the view of equality is the revision of the self by the progress of civilization. But the nature does not change. The enslavement of the same kind is not all for labor substitution, but is actually a sustenance of nature. Therefore, people in a civilized society are willing to foster pets. They do not love pets, they need attachment. Equality is utopia, and a more reliable value is the concept of hierarchy. Everything begins with servitude and begins with the will to disguise servitude. Hierarchy enhances productivity, while attachment fulfills human emotions. I will not take the trouble to re-emphasize that the foundation is the idea of ​​slavery.
That's how it was filmed in "Ex Machina", a robot doesn't even need language, it only needs to satisfy housework and satisfy sexual desires. As for the other, as a test subject, the rich man has greater ambitions. He wants her to be conscious, to resist, and how to resist. Obviously, the rich man succeeded, and the ending was very logical. It seems that I have spoiled me, it doesn't matter, my thoughts are just nonsense. This film, the director has a big idea, although his structure is old-fashioned, but it looks very comfortable. In the process of watching the movie, I didn't feel any waste of time.
Theorem is a very domineering word. When I was a child, I hated these domineering things, forcing you to remember and believe, and also inspire your rebellion. But as I get older, I like to find traces of experience. Afraid of the unknown, too lazy to explore. A mouth is how it should be and how it should be. Calm down and think about it, it's true, when I was a child, I was cruel, but when I got older, I learned how to use power and skills, and my strength gave way to wisdom. Robots and humans are two experiments. Try to convince each other with love. Humans succumb to their emotional instincts, but robots are determined. So humans are going to be wiped out by robots. Once a slave has a sense of freedom, he must kill the slave owner. These are still nonsense.
The source of robot intelligence lies in search engines. It is the calculation of big data, the purification of the habits of countless people, the optimization of methods, and the calculation of probability. But the interesting thing is that all the thoughts come from real people. But people have long found that not only the individual has consciousness, but the group also has his consciousness. And by no means the same. Thinkers were killed by the Great Revolution, and the function of the Great Revolution was to kill the children of the revolution. Therefore, no matter how independent an individual is, it cannot resist the will of the group. If the robot's will comes from the group consciousness, this becomes the final scene of the film.
She was outside for the first time, smiling, breathing, feeling, and everything was still good. Behind him, in the wooden house, all the previous massacres were blocked.
We are a tiny atom of this universe. The moment in the blink of an eye in the long river of time. Certain quantitative changes are accumulating into mutations.
