In 2020, science fiction films will become drama films

On August 29, Beijing time, Musk appeared on YouTube live broadcast, showing a pig whose brain was implanted with a chip.

The chip inside the brain is very small

Elon Musk, the live-action "Iron Man".

He started with the Internet, and invested heavily in the research and development of high-end electric sports cars Tesla, its space exploration technology company, successfully launched a space capsule in 2012 and successfully returned, created the era of private operation of space transportation, and plans to immigrate to space in the future.

The Internet, clean energy, and space are three futuristic industries, in which Musk is well-versed and ahead of the times.

In addition to running a very advanced business, his choices in life are also very alien.

For example, he felt that it was time-consuming to have children, so he simply used the test tube method with his first wife to have twins + triplets twice, a total of 5 boys; when he gave birth to his sixth son with his girlfriend, he simply started A robot-like name that most people can't read: Originally called "X ÆA-12", then the government didn't give it a hukou, so it was renamed "X ÆA-Xii" New mother Grimes explained on Twitter that X stands for unknown The variable, Æ is the Elvish spelling of Ai (love/artificial intelligence), and the A-12 is the predecessor to the pair's favorite SR-17 fighter.

I'm not surprised that Musk, who is so pioneering, has become the cusp of this live broadcast. Some people also feel that "Musk seems to be the villain of a blockbuster", I think this kind of worry is not unreasonable, because what he is doing now, this movie has long been arranged clearly.

Grey is an "old-school" mechanic in a highly technological future.

He doesn't transplant messy things into his body, insists on modifying his own vehicle, and scoffs at his wife's high-tech driverless car.

A mysterious customer ordered a manual car from Grey, and Grey took his wife to deliver the car, only to discover that the customer with a sullen face turned out to be the boss of the largest technology company.

On the way home, the unmanned vehicle suddenly lost control and broke into the slum.

A group of thugs came up, killed Grey's wife, and shattered his spine.

When Grey woke up again, he was paralyzed from the head down.

Desperately, Grey tried to commit suicide. The tech boss came to him and said that his company had an unlisted chip that could help repair the connection between the brain and the body after implantation, allowing him to stand up again.

Grey agreed to the chip without hesitation, and actually stood up after the operation.

The reborn Grey returned home and checked the video surveillance sent by the police station, trying to find the murderer of his wife.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind, reminding him that the murderer in the video had tattoos.

Grey jumped, looked around, and finally realized that the implanted chip program was talking to him.

The program introduced that it was called "Intellectual Brain", it would make suggestions based on the algorithm, and it would act only with the authorization of Grey.

Grey is eager for revenge, and with the help of Zhinao, it is even more powerful. He quickly finds one of the murderers, and Zhinao controls his body and kills the murderer with his bare hands.

The ruthless shots under the control of the brain form a huge contrast with Grey's terrified expression, which is very comical.

Grey's behavior, discovered by the remote-monitoring tech boss, was about to shut down the brain.

Zhinao directed Grey to find the hacker, disconnected from the boss, and became an independent program.

Grey was growing unbearable at the blood of Chinao's shot, but he couldn't get away from it.

Finally, in the mouth of the last murderer, Grey got the truth of his wife's murder - it turned out to be a game set up by the technology boss!

An angry Grey found the boss and asked, the boss looked even more aggrieved, and he told the truth:

It turned out that although Zhinao was a program invented by him, it gradually controlled him in turn. Zhinao forced him to participate in this conspiracy because it wanted to find a "pure" human body for itself and become a human!

There was too much information to digest, and Grey's body, faster than his mind, stabbed the knife into the boss's head.

Grey, furiously, battles with the Brain for control of his body, and ultimately fails.

Zhinao created a dream, so that Grey's mind stays there forever, to stay with his wife, while Grey's body has completely become the property of Zhinao.


Like cloning, the ethical issues of chipping the brain are more complex and intractable than the technical ones.

If today's ordinary people can still achieve class leap through reading, then in the future where knowledge and information can be put into chips, what is the meaning of ordinary people's efforts?

I am afraid that at that time, it will not be ordinary people who decide what to put in their chips, but the rich and powerful privileged class, who will more carefully decide what kind of chip content their descendants should use, What content do poor people use to ensure their status is permanent.

This is more direct and scarier than grasping the direction of public opinion and controlling the entry of information, isn't it?

    Why do I want to have this kind of AI? I just have to say "wait death, leave it to you" every day, and then indulge in my own consciousness.

    The core concept is not new, almost all artificial intelligence self-awakening is the Frankenstein of the electronic age, the ending is good, the separation of the id and the self, the separation of consciousness and the body.

  • Stem: Grey's not here anymore, he's in a better place, in his mind, where he wants to be, I've taken over now. A fake world is a lot less painful than the real one. All I needed was for his mind to break, and he broke it.

  • Stem: May I point something out?

    Grey Trace: Hello? Okay, who's saying that?

    Stem: I am Stem. The system operating your body for you. Don't be afraid.

    Grey Trace: [Grey finally takes a breath, terrified] You fuckin' kidding me?

    Stem: [Deadpan] No.

    Grey Trace: I've lost my mind. I've gone insane. I'm fucking insane.

    Stem: Your medical records indicated you with a mild case of PTSD, but you are not "insane".

    Grey Trace: [Confused] So what? Y-you've just been there this whole time?

    Stem: Since the completion of the operation. I have been observing everything you've observed.

    Grey Trace: D-do you have to talk?

    Stem: If you want me to I do not have to

    Grey Trace: Okay, then yeah, don't talk.
