Before watching this movie, I had already read the movie commentary on the short video platform. However, due to the short and flat form of the short video, which leads to the neglect of a lot of details and foreshadowing, I have not been too impressed with this movie.
For a movie lover like me who loves suspense and cool movies with reversal endings, the reversal of the ending was predicted on the way to watching the movie, but the deep meaning of the film is worth thinking and discussing.
The entire film is based on a futuristic technology - consciousness extraction technology, which transcodes consciousness into a piece of artificial intelligence code. This technique embodies the pure technological fantasy of literary lovers. Essentially it is another question, when people have no body and only have a period of consciousness? Can a man still be called a man?
The famous test of artificial intelligence, the Turing test, is opposed by a conjecture called the "Chinese Room Paradox".
Input a string of Chinese, there is a person in the room who does not understand Chinese at all, and output the corresponding Chinese according to the codebook, so from the outside, the room seems to understand Chinese, but in fact it is only based on the input-output rules of the code run. Without physical artificial intelligence, the underlying logic is still input-output arithmetic logic, which is fundamentally different from the biological nature of the human brain. If this technology can be completed, then human beings will at least be in a highly developed state of biological civilization, rather than the continuation point of scientific and technological civilization.
Although there are themes such as derailment, love, and shielding rights in the film, the "initiator" behind these themes is the technological progress that seems to be unstoppable at present? Based on this technology, the hope is to trigger a phobia of a series of technologies such as artificial intelligence and consciousness extraction.
The author believes that this is the topic of discussion in this article and even in many episodes of the Black Mirror series of American TV series: Should we be too acclaimed, or should we be wary of technology?
For the Chinese, the right to interpret life for thousands of years is in the hands of the elders. With the industrial revolution, technology has changed and shaped human society. The elders who lived the longest in rural society originally had the most thorough understanding of life and society and could be relied on by young people, but now they have become the tail of the crane who cannot keep up with social progress. Young people have become the fastest group in society to embrace technology and best keep up with technological progress.
In the past, the living state of human beings should have been to survive until old age in a piece of land. Confucius could have said that fifty no doubts. Nowadays, the development of science and technology, marketing and globalization make people feel that the world is new every day and never ends. While science and technology science and technology break through imagination, the media and marketing in the hands of liberal arts students will be broken in order to compete for attention resources. The upper layer of force casts a layer of mimetic environment. Make the future more elusive and make individuals feel smaller. But now, who is not a slightly passive monk, who can say the phrase "Fifty Not Confused?"
Theodore J. Kaczynski's paper, "On Industrial Society and Its Future," dissects this issue. Oh, maybe you haven't heard of him? But you may know by the wind and shadows that there was a story about a genius university professor who turned into a parcel bomber in the United States, and finally negotiated with the American police to publish an article in the newspaper, and that article was this paper. He took an extremely negative attitude towards technology. However, the logic of the text is clear, and the historical analysis, pros and cons analysis of human society is incisive. The final conclusion is to throw the entire industrial society and technology into the trash can and bear the consequences bravely.
All in all, we think that human technology will develop in an overall linear fashion without an upper limit like our imagination (many people will say that technology is a step-by-step development, accompanied by a certain technology. The improvement of technology has brought a round of technological "blowout" to form a platform, the simplest example is 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G, but in a more ambitious coordinate system, human technology has shown a linear upward trend so far).
Human abilities are limited. Human technology will not develop endlessly.
Rationally speaking: the essence of all science is measurement science. Cognitive science welcomes its own measurement unit, just as life science welcomes its own measurement unit "gene". The black box of brain and cognitive science will be opened. Compared with today's cognitive science today, we only see the spatial and temporal changes in the movement of electrons in the brain plasma. It is completely unknown why this group of electrons represents fear, love, and some subjective feelings and thoughts.
Fear of technology is an extreme behavior and emotion, an extreme tendency to simplify thinking and abandon rationality. Giving up choices and refusing to maintain a moderate and calm thinking and labor seems to bring polarized and willful freedom. Of course, this world is not only the extreme of "fear of technology", but also totalitarian ideology, totalitarian religion, drugs , authority worship, mass-market advertising, TV addiction, pornography, and more.
The choice of giving up thinking is what the public will follow. Their emotions fluctuate, and their brain physiology desires calm, so expressing emotions is the best way to calm them down. As a result, such extreme expressions have deepened the spiral of silence on the Internet.
Does it matter? No. Technology, technology, media have given the rabble the right to express, but the train as a human species is still moving forward. It doesn't matter what the last few cars said after dinner, the power comes from the front of the car. Of course, the speed of the car is not as fast as the last few cars imagined.
