For young people, the storyline is not complicated, but maybe the parents' generation can't understand it at all. Shielding, copy extraction (artificial intelligence), registration (everyone shields you from you) and other future high-tech with negative energy.
In fact, I think the imagination of artificial intelligence is very interesting. If you have money, you can copy your thoughts. This cookie will be the stranger you are most familiar with. If you arrange your cooking properly, it is a computer. Accelerator, one G to two Gs. Imagine there are two of you in your life, then all the admins can be handed over to one of them. This is very unfair to copy. Two wild tigers, how can one be able to run wild in the field, and the other must be locked in the zoo. Just because you are a cloned tiger, I am the original. In Black Mirror and the movies about cloning, your sister paid for you to make you, so you have to be obedient. For example, there are movies that say that a group of clones live together in groups. They are like humans, but they are kept in captivity like animals without freedom, and they are created with a purpose. They were specially created by wealthy people for organ transplants. It sounds cruel that a clone can be transplanted two or three times until death if it is not a vital organ. Because of the biological characteristics of the created things, it is impossible for people to define, so this is a very difficult problem, and it also limits the development of cloning technology, which has been presented in movies and novels. All technological development will eventually encounter the bottleneck of humanistic morality.
This idea of the screenwriter has also been realized in my mind. One day I happened to discuss this issue with a friend who is a researcher of artificial intelligence, let’s call him a scientist for now. At that time, the scientist needed to realize that the robot could move like a human. As far as a simple human reaction is realized in a robot, I don’t know how many algorithms are needed, let alone continuous actions and reactions. For me, it is too difficult and too complicated to simulate human consciousness. For a lazy liberal arts student like me, my suggestion is, why not clone a human brain and put it in the culture medium, so that there is obviously a human brain. Thinking and reaction and learning ability, the function is not bad at all. The next thing to solve is the management problem, help him find a body, only need nutrient solution, completely different from human, so why does he think he is human. There will also be a new creature entry in the wiki. Just imagine that you have the same brain as everyone else, with a completely different shape, and no one thought you were human since you were a child, so do you think you will be human? The little girl who thought she was a wolf when she lived with wolves did not think she was a human until she was brought back to human society and taught. The clones are born to learn the work of these admins in a short period of time, cooking rice and coffee, etc. At the end of the 20th century, we have been able to clone ears, organs, etc., but after that, the practical application of cloning was limited for ethical reasons, and basically there was no practical application and I don't know what the current development trend is. However, the high cost of cloning is also reflected in Black Mirror. She is conscious.
Of course, I think it is a bit impractical to clone the brain. This is a biological way to solve the purpose of "artificial intelligence", rather than using algorithms. Of course, the biological cost is high, and the algorithm cost is low, once and for all. The pain of the copy in Black Mirror is that she has all the memories of this world, and she thinks of her as a person, a free person, and not something else. I give five stars to the cruelty of this high-tech.
Of course, our gods have also imposed this cruel method on us. I also want to talk about the greatest novel in ancient China, Journey to the West. Sun Wukong made a big havoc in the Tiangong, and the Tathagata made him lie under the Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years with one palm. It's not good to let it out, so I'll put a headband on you. Isn't that the same cruel method used in Black Mirror? One day in heaven, the world has become a vicissitudes of life. So the creator has the same relationship with the copy as we have with the X who created us. But when we look at Journey to the West, we don't think Tathagata Buddha is cruel, nor does he sympathize with Sun Wukong. People don't want to go to the west to learn scriptures. If you don't go, they will hold you down and let you have nothing to do. Not to mention Sun Monkey is a monkey with ADHD! It's horrific now that I think about it.
So Black Mirror can be said to be an outstanding "contemporary myth". The worries and fears of contemporary people are presented in a different way. In fact, you know that those ghost technologies cannot be realized for hundreds of years. Because the times have changed, human beings have partially conquered nature, sea gods, thunder gods, and the power of nature can no longer scare us. But where does your sense of security, insecurity come from? Everyone is in danger, afraid that a word will be blocked. Then it took a few years to clear up the misunderstanding, but in the end, I learned the cruel truth, and I was afraid to think about it.
High technology is the god of modern times.
Anyway it's a great Christmas gift from Charlie Brooker.
