Human consciousness and supercomputer
Maxwell 2022-04-23 07:01:37
The most interesting point in the film is the combination of human consciousness and supercomputer. Computers have super computing power but no creativity, and can only work according to various instructions; people have infinite creativity but are subject to the limited computing power of the brain, and at the same time people need to eat, drink and sleep, and their work efficiency is far lower than that of computers. . So what will happen if human consciousness and supercomputer are combined? The answer is given in the movie. In just two years, quantum computers and incredible nanotechnology have been created. This level of technology may have originally required 50 or even 100 years of scientific research results from all scientists around the world to achieve. Now only one person's consciousness is enough. It must be said that the human brain is truly amazing and infinite.

Will Caster: It just doesn't make sense. They're afraid of technology because of it's threat to humanity. Yet, they don't flinch at taking a life. So, obviously, they're not big on logic; but, there's no shortage of irony.
