What intelligent data thinking cannot replace are human thoughts and traditional things. For example: love. "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not jealous, is not arrogant, is not rude, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, does not consider wrongdoing, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things believe all things, hope all things, endure all things; love never fails.”
1. The node at which Gray ceded his rights
After Gray installed the stem, his disabled body began to move. The first time he granted the stem permission was to watch the video of his wife's death:
"If you agree, I can draw it for you."
The second key use node is: when Gray went to investigate Sark, and was found by Sark and attacked and was about to be killed on the ground: Gray gave stem permission to act alone. The stem brutally killed Sark.
The third key node is: after killing a man in a bar, Stem finds a hacker and proposes to subvert the original operating system in order to prevent it from being "shut down" by Allen. After the system restarts, stem gains full autonomy over Gray's body.
These rights belonging to one's own body are being ceded bit by bit, in fact, this is very similar in daily life.
When installing the app it will appear: "Allow access to location?" "Allow access and edit photos?" "Allow microphone access?" "Allow camera access?" "Allow notifications?" and so on. Most people will choose to turn on most access rights for the convenience of using the software.
It has changed part of the way of life easily, free and conveniently. In fact, human beings are not used as a movable commodity. A large amount of private information and actively produced content are placed in the software by commodity humans, and the software uses these privacy and initiative. The content of production is treated as a commodity.
In contrast, rights are also ceded bit by bit. Today's government is testing citizens' resistance to a certain policy, isn't it? Just change to a slightly more peaceful one, paving the way for the next drastic policy, and harvesting the last bit of value as a citizen.
Domestic women are faced with the following problems: 1. Encourage women to give birth to create a population base (without giving any real benefits) 2. Continue to publicize the dross of traditional culture in various colleges and universities 3. "People's Daily: Do women need annual leave for childbirth?" ?" Undoubtedly, it is to "send carbon in the snow" to women's discrimination in the workplace. The purpose is to serve a certain group and gradually withdraw from their due rights. (Under a non-constitutional democratic system, feminism is difficult.)
2. Is self-private information exchanged for security?
Densely populated flight monitors in the city:
The city where Gray lives is littered with flying surveillance cameras that scan people's information directly.
Among them, the privacy of most ordinary people was monitored, but it was the key time to solve the case: the flight monitor could not identify it. Do you think the plot seems to be similar?
Our life is full of surveillance cameras, and even when I type the following words, the surveillance camera is right in front of my head. (Library cameras) It is undeniable that the absence of these cameras brings people to order, but their privacy is exposed. Too dense cameras in public spaces allow people to live under the recorded data. So, when the real crime happened, did the cameras monitoring our security play a protective role?
Can privacy be sacrificed for absolute security?
The perpetrators always have means to escape the sight of surveillance, but ordinary residents and information are exposed to flying cameras for a lifetime.
3. Emancipation of self-action in exchange for convenience
"There is much less pain in the fake world than in the real world."
Concerns about the development of virtual reality technology are also projected in "Upgrade".
In the movie, a group of people are playing virtual reality games with life-sustaining bottles. Those people are so immersed in happiness that they can't get out of it. Highly developed and autonomous technological equipment can completely become the right arm of people's lives: fully automated cars, fully automated homes, fully automated food production...
In life, there are also many intelligent solutions that cannot be replaced. The most basic and complex human emotional thinking, the lock of a wooden door, the writing of an article... The intelligent solution method is more data-based and direct, it can accurately predict the result, but it also reduces the subjective initiative of human beings.
The question considered in "Upgrade" is how human beings are replaced by intelligence step by step.
The pain in the virtual world is indeed much less. You can choose what kind of person you become in the virtual world, which is much easier than creating a person in real life. Reality needs continuous polishing, thinking and experience, and in the virtual world, it seems that as long as you choose the corresponding copy and picture, you can be called "the person you want to be".
The examples around me are my roommates, objective description: they like to play games, they play games until late at night, they start playing games soon after opening their eyes in the morning, they uninstall the game after losing too much, and reinstall it after another season , and so on. Now that I'm in my third year, I'm thinking about the future. They don't seem to be worried about the future. The future they think about is "they will find a job very hard for a while" and that's it. Here, I do not mean to criticize the lives of others, but I will feel sad. It seems that in the virtual world, they can obtain more happiness.
The girl who retouched the picture to a great distance from herself has received a lot of praise in the virtual world, but after returning to reality, she is an ordinary self again. It is good to pursue beauty, but it is deformed to distort one's self because of the set beauty.
4. Love cannot be created through data
Grey's love for Elsa kept him alive, and his whole core was revenge. Gray's successful escape from the danger in the final stem's prediction of "certain death" was also because of love, because he took advantage of the other party's weak human nature to escape successfully. The stem finally ruled Gray's body because: Gray was defeated by love, he wanted to see Elsa, he wanted to go back to the past, so he chose to live in a virtual world.
Is it right or wrong? Humans still lose to intelligence, or because of "proud" love created by themselves.
This is also a kind of irony to human beings. There are various factors in love, and there is no heterogeneity. Some people can become weak and worried because of love, and some people can become brave because of love. Gray belongs to the indecisive and weak former, so his love and kindness were finally used, and Elsa died in vain.
"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not jealous, is not arrogant, is not rude, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, does not consider wrongdoing, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things believe all things, hope all things, endure all things; love never fails.”
As an ordinary human being, I would probably choose to hide in my fantasy at the end, and would not choose to shoot myself to save the world.
The discussion of human nature in "Upgrade" is relatively simple and popular, and there are some strange places in the editing, but the flaws are not concealed, and the discussion and fantasy of the future world is still very imaginative. Fortunately, he is narrating one thing, and if it is placed in a super epic setting, the film will not be detailed enough. For example: Why did Gray never suspect a little genius? Didn't he crash when he came out of the genius home? Is it possible to plan every few days without rushing in? If there is no injustice and no enmity, there must be someone behind it, and you will understand what those people are instructed to do.
In many film and television works, we are also thinking about the proposition of virtual and reality: if human thoughts can be stored in U disk? If the copied self serves the self, is the copied self still the self? What happens when a person's soul is trapped in one place? Will people's ratings be quantified into virtual scores to make the world a better place? etc
These commonalities are: to see how human beings use technology rationally. Technology is not used to transfer people's self-consciousness. Technology is a tool to assist human life. Although technology has been quantifying human beings (big data), human beings are divided into batches of hierarchical commodities.
What intelligent data thinking cannot replace are human thoughts and traditional things. For example: love.
"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not jealous, is not arrogant, is not rude, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, does not consider wrongdoing, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things believe all things, hope all things, endure all things; love never fails.”
How to lose yourself step by step? (attached)
1. The attraction of the source of temptation makes people addicted to sensuality
2. Give up self-thinking, self-thinking is too tiring, it is better to lie down and wait for a solution
3. Remain obedient to the surrounding environment without thinking about right or wrong
4. Follow the flow: do the so-called "right" thing without thinking about cause and effect
5. There is no core in the heart
