First of all, I would like to advise POI fans (me too): Screenwriting is like giving birth to a daughter, and production and distribution is like marrying a daughter. How to get married and how long the marriage can last is not entirely determined by the mother-in-law. It has to be decided by her in-laws, especially in the TV industry in the United States. There is really no permanent banquet. Nolan, a mother with excellent genes, decided to have another one. That is a great thing. Your behavior of splashing dung at the wedding banquet can be reduced. Why not happily drink wedding wine and make a bridal chamber? I saw the first episode about 1 and a half minutes and knew I would give it 5 stars. The modeling of sex and movement, the rough revolver and the fine artificial iris are also realized with 3D micro-engraving, perforated with automatic piano (one of the most primitive automata, which is the most primitive rough embryo of artificial intelligence) and artificial manipulator The super complex sports coexist in harmony. Although this title is an obvious tribute to (copy) the title of (attack) the Ghost Shell 1 and the Ghost Shell 2, its sophisticated production, information content and ideological height determine the lower limit of the film is higher than a large number of contemporary "sci-fi" movies. The upper limit. The next hour did not disappoint my expectations. The story, performance, and world structure are all excellent works of the HBO standard, so I won't say much here. What I feel most deeply is from POI to Westworld. Nolan, who is obsessed with artificial intelligence, has shaped two fathers of artificial intelligence with creator complex: POI's Finch (house director) and WW's Ford (Hopkins). However, the ideas represented by the two have undergone essential evolution. Vinci is the personification of reason. His artificial intelligence is based on network distributed computing, information learning and pattern recognition (this is also the most promising path considered by current real artificial intelligence research). From the beginning, he was worried about the loss of control and anti-human potential of artificial intelligence, so he set up various technical means to limit its ability and development, including clearing memory, limiting communication methods, and singularizing tasks, and so on. Ford is the incarnation of the exaggerated and philosopher king. His artificial intelligence is based on the digitization of brain consciousness and the deep simulation of human behavior. This is the traditional direction of artificial intelligence research before the 21st century, and suffered serious setbacks and stagnation in the second half of the 20th century. As a screenwriter, this setting cannot be avoided, because WW itself comes from the adaptation of the 1973 film. The wonderful thing is that Nolan was not restrained by this. He added a new key element: the application of evolutionary mechanisms. And this element, judging from the current actual research, is likely to be the confluence of the two research directions of artificial intelligence. The addition of this thought made Ford a mad genius who placed himself in the position of the creator, overlooked all living beings, and played with his evolutionary destiny. It’s just the depth and power of this genius, more than Starting from the evil bosses in Marvel movies, I don’t know how many orders of magnitude are terrifying! It took POI about two seasons to explain Vinci's thoughts to the audience. In WW, it only took an hour, and it was basically done in the first episode. The level of Nolan's screenplay and screenplay is truly a step up. In the first episode, there are two extremely important dialogues. In one paragraph, Bernard, the black program director, went to Ford to discuss the bug. The other part is the father of Ford's test heroine. One of these two dialogues fully clarified Ford's thoughts, and the other proved the imminent tragedy of WW. The root cause is that Ford deliberately opened the Pandora's Box because this is the "evolutionary event" in his plan. The various bugs that occurred during the upgrade of the robot, to that bitch supervisor Ms. Cullen, and even Bernard himself, were just nasty technical mistakes at first. But Bernard went to Ford to discuss. In just a few minutes of dialogue, although restrained and vague, Ford’s overall ideas and logic have been explained clearly: 1. The driving force of human evolution is the effect of environmental pressure on various evolutionary errors (mutations). Choose, weed out the unsuitable mistakes, and leave the adaptive "mistakes". 2. Modern technology is developed, and the lowest among human beings will be guaranteed by technology to survive. It may even be immortal, so the evolutionary power has failed. 3. Because of the failure of evolutionary power, humans can only develop to this level. To that bitch supervisor, Ms. Cullen, and even Bernard himself, it seemed to be just a nasty technical error at first. But Bernard went to Ford to discuss. In just a few minutes of dialogue, although restrained and vague, Ford’s overall ideas and logic have been explained clearly: 1. The driving force of human evolution is the effect of environmental pressure on various evolutionary errors (mutations). Choose, weed out the unsuitable mistakes, and leave the adaptive "mistakes". 2. The modern technology is advanced, and the lowest among human beings will also be ensured by technology to survive. It may even be immortal, so the evolutionary power has failed. 3. Because of the failure of evolutionary power, humans can only develop to this level. To that bitch supervisor, Ms. Cullen, and even Bernard himself, it seemed to be just a nasty technical error at first. But Bernard went to Ford to discuss.

4. So what should I do? Wait a minute, we still have robots/artificial intelligence. The original robot moved towards "perfection", but now I deliberately add various random error mechanisms to secretly retain its evolutionary memory and let the evolutionary iron wheel continue to rotate. The tide of human evolutionary history will be continued by its machine incarnation. What is the "environmental pressure", the power of choice? The old madman didn't say it clearly, but it was also obvious: the chaos and catastrophe that followed would eliminate the unsuitable individuals and leave the strong. As for whether it is a human or a robot, it doesn't matter. 5. Moreover, you have to cooperate with me.
Of course the blacks understood. The significance of this gameplay, the subsequent uncontrollability and risks are obvious. But what about this faithful disciple. . . With a grin, I know my heart, and go away lightly.
In the second dialogue, the self-consciousness, deviation from the original design framework and rebellious spirit shown by the heroine's father are already very obvious, although it is hidden in a large number of Shakespeare quotes:
However, in front of other people, especially the chief executive Cullen, Ford still pretended to be deaf and dumb, underlining the robot's changes:
As a result, the old man who was too obvious was recovered, but the real disaster: other upgraded robots, especially the heroine with complete evolutionary memory, were released:
So far, Ford's own evil intentions are clearly revealed. As for the black Bernard, he is a more confused minion, but the identity of the accomplice is already very clear. The moment the recovered father entered the cold storage, he was still whispering in his ear, secretly communicating the song. This is a mystery left in the first episode, it is difficult to guess what to say:
Ford and Bernard are already the leaders and high priests of Cult. As for another member of the R&D department, Elsie, he has devoted himself to the super sexy evolutionary project of the integration of humans and artificial intelligence:
Coupled with Elsie's warmth to the heroine, it is foreseeable that in future man-machine wars, Elsie will definitely be the generation of Quisling, Merkel, and Cheng. Therefore, I want to shout out to the Larry Pages, Bezos, and Musks in the world: Beware of the old people, black people and women in the R&D department of your company! Who is a reliable human pinch? Of course, it is a literati, middle-aged white man, and workplace messenger who lack technical thinking and imagination, and are full of clichés. His insight has already seen through the essence of the crazy creator:
************************************************** ****************************************** E2 is the legendary anti-climax . Within the scope of this play, I can only give 3 stars. E2 is a bit dragged on the plot, basically continuing to describe the environment and the atmosphere. Technological disharmony has increased (for example, repairs are as troublesome as performing surgery, people in black shooting and shooting birds indiscriminately for 1 minute, and the labor costs behind the "medical" team at US prices are all up to 100,000! Let's confirm it again! The real-time monitoring of the host in the park is only a video from God’s perspective. There is no very important real-time data and dialogue transmission monitoring. This is really forced by the plot logic, but it seems very LowB, and the current technology can do it), each All branches are progressing, but none of them have substantial nodes and appear to be scattered. Especially the old madman Ford wandering in the desert, talking nonsense to the children, is more pretentious, and doesn't know what he is doing. However, E2 clarified an important technical setting: how the big robot bug secretly buried by Ford works. To summarize: 1. Different configurations of the robot (that is, the memory version) can be switched under pressure. 2. Big bugs can be transmitted horizontally through robot communication (possibly initiated by a code word). The first point, to put it simply, is that the robot is present configuration (the current version) in the awake state, but can remember the past configuration (the past version) in the unconscious state, such as having a nightmare or being in a trance during the day. Mother Sang kept flashing back to this state. In extreme pain, the survival instinct of robots to survive and avoid pain allows them to actively switch to another version. For example, mother Sang was able to wake up to the current version by hypnotizing herself with 321 in a nightmare, and unfortunately, she woke up during the operation and gained another painful memory. Not only from the past version to the current version, but also the other way around. The little girl was abused by the man in black to the Jedi in the current version, suddenly switched away, returned to a version that did not know how long ago, and calmly answered his question. And one of the questions in the previous episode was also answered: The man in black stripped Kissy's scalp, not for perverting, but not knowing how to understand this doorway, forcing him to switch, and digging into the dark history. The second point is that the only one who can switch freely without pressure is the heroine, which is the second host and main spreader of the bug after inheriting the old man. Mother Sang's abnormality happened after the female lead said the incision to her. Moreover, Mama Sang is not an upgraded robot, because in the small town massacre in the previous episode, the gangsters let her go without incident. This proves that Shakespeare's code word is the key to spreading the bug, and it is effective regardless of whether it is upgraded or not. Who can bury the memory switching program first, and then specify the code word to activate it? It can only be the original author Ford. Just like "deep and dreamless slumber=shut down" is also his work, a truth.
