[Most of

what I wrote has nothing to do with the show] What is God? [Creator: Maker]
What is a human being?
What is a robot?
what is the meaning of life?
What is the meaning of evolution?

After watching the first episode of WestWorld, I subconsciously thought of the world’s best MMORPG [Massive (or Massively) Multiplayer Online Role-PlayingGame]-World Of Warcraft, At the peak of the world, there are more than 15 million paying users; there are thousands of NPCs in this game [Non-Player-Controlled Character] There are more than tens of thousands of game plot missions, and players can experience them The plot in the game, creating professions and equipment, interacting and sharing experiences, etc.

With the development of VR, AI, AR, network technology, biochemical technology, and 3D printing technology, I have no doubt about the possibility of WestWorld's realization in the future. As long as you pay the corresponding fee, I will give you a chance to experience a different life firsthand. You can be whatever you want to be, good people, bad people, etc., with abilities that are impossible in reality, Neo, Superman, or Monkey King. The background of the times can also be changed, Roman times, Sui and Tang Dynasties, World War II. Isn't this exciting and attractive enough?

Going deeper, World of Warcraft can be said to be a two-dimensional manifestation of games like "Western World". Our staff set up the game's role, background, script, script, and logic program of NPC behavior. Upgrade the version from time to time to improve players' experience and fix bugs. For the rest, let it develop freely within the framework we set. For those robots (NPC), we are gods and we are the masters, just like the gods once stood in a higher dimension, and they are all to us humans. Do the same [if God really exists].

However, friends who have engaged in program programming know that because of various factors [entropy], program programming bugs are always inevitable. On the surface, it is because of the "error" Mistake of the upgrade "Update" that caused the awakening of the robot's "free consciousness" [Note here: talents can meditate]. The robot realizes the truth and falsity, realizes that all these are "programs programmed beforehand", and all these are tools to satisfy human desires.

For organisms, the mutation [errors] that deviate from the program is the beginning of evolution, just as there is a small chance of genetic mutations when DNA is copied, and for trillions of genetic organisms, this is The inevitable result after natural selection/survival of the fittest is an unstoppable trend that develops exponentially. The version is being updated and the program is being upgraded. From the moment of accumulation of quantitative changes to qualitative changes, it is nothing more than so many computer giants [Bill Gates, Mark Zach Burke] are wary of humans to be careful about the development of AI.

In ancient times, why are there such totems as dragons and gods in the mythology of so many races in the world, far apart, and it was Prometheus who enlightened the first monkey to transform into a human? Is the development of mankind in God's plan?

We created robots, and gods created us. Isn’t it so similar?

And can I understand it this way:

human beings are just biochemical robots controlled by DNA genes. We have two instincts: survival and reproduction, and have a useful life (life span) and emotions (happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy). Biologically speaking, we are not fundamentally different from other creatures on earth.

So why can't robots become a new species? Is it just because they are not a conscious body made of carbon? What if the concept of "soul" exists in robots?

As we all know, the reason why mankind can rise on this blue planet lies in the tremendous increase in productivity. Compared with our creations, our most unique feature is that we have an independent soul and consciousness. We can create from 0 to 1. Human development and evolution are unpredictable and unstoppable. We use trial and error to Improve the physical projection of our ideas in reality.

So what if AI robots are smarter and more efficient than us, and have the potential for independent consciousness and evolution at the same time? !

If the purpose of life is survival and evolution, what is the ultimate significance of evolution? Isn't he the omniscient and omnipotent God who possesses the top power to transform everything in the universe? !

Isn’t the history of human history a "history of killing gods"? !

The true brave men of mankind have chosen a path that few people have walked. They are not only in the superiority of wisdom and courage, they have the courage to abandon the self-deception in the population, fight alone in the unknown nihility, fight against the established shackles of fate, and seek the truth and truth in the world.

The loneliness of the soul is the freedom of the soul.

And from this freedom and loneliness, only love is eternal.



In the end we return to an extremely essential question:

who are we, where are we from, and where are we going?

Looking forward to the follow-up of this drama.

  • Dolores Abernathy: [to Stubbs] Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world, the disarray. I choose to see the Beauty. To believe there is an order to our days. A purpose. I know things will work out the way they're meant to.
