Of course, "Westworld" is completely different from those soap operas that show the concept of human affection and morality through the lives of ordinary people. After all, this is a world that draws a gun if a word disagrees. There are many directors and the real world, and the concepts defined, I really admire the family named Nolan here. My brother can use simple words in "Star Wear". Methods to explain some complex concepts of interstellar travel. And the same younger brother can also interrupt the thesis with simple truths and props explanations in "Westworld" to explain various concepts.
The puzzle of time; Miss D's flashback to
the second timeline of "Westworld" cannot be said to be ingenious, seeing that the heroine frequently changes clothes and travels through time at will. The single-timeline, dual-timeline, and even three-timeline arguments discussed by colleagues watching the drama have their own arguments. Seeing that time, this pig-killing knife has transformed NPCs from complex mechanical structures to 3D printed appearances, and also transformed William from a little white face into MIB. But when everyone is discussing this, has anyone discussed the impact of time on the host?
Maybe many people think that the impact of time on the host must be the accumulated memory that cannot be cleared by formatting. However, I am fairly certain that this fragmented memory must be a by-product of time. Many people think that it is the accumulation of these memory fragments that contributed to the awakening of the host, but I don't think so. Simply put, when performing logical judgments, the connection between memory (that is, the database) and behavior is very fast. That's why Lee Chang-ho can play AlphaGo, but he really can't ask for a fan to fan himself like an ordinary person when the calculation is overheated. That is to say, in my understanding, the accumulation of data to achieve the qualitative change of awakening is staged.
To give a simple example, Miss D awakened and realized that she was the host in the first stage after Arnold's death, and Miss M realized the outside world in the second stage of the Ford era. The two basic databases are completely different.
At this time, let’s talk about time. As a host who performs on the tour, does time really make sense to her? When the code is making logical judgments, is the code judged wrong? The mistake made at that time caused Miss D to have a flashback, so because this flashback Host produced a contrast between the main human consciousness and the subconscious, which led to the awakening.
I have heard more than one person say before: "The right decision will not make you, but the wrong decision will make you who you are now."
Now every time I think of this sentence, I shudder.
This clarifies the first bottleneck of artificial intelligence, and it is also what the elders usually teach us:
the problem comes when the pattern is different. What is the code that Arnold added to Miss D? What is going on with this system of meditation that begins in the show?
What is Dual Mind?
Let's put "Westworld" aside and go back to real life. Would you stop at the stairs and think about which foot to take first?
The answer is definitely no, why not? It's very simple, because your brain has already made the rule in your brain when you are a baby, "step on which foot is close but not close to the toes", as a small The program compressed package is stored in your brain. When you want to go up the stairs, he will automatically click on "Upstairs.exe" to run automatically. So when I saw a top student saying that he could quickly calculate the wind direction and angle and predict the impact of the ball and respond accordingly, I could only say "hehe". This statement is like saying that "the computing of mechanical hard disks is faster than that of solid-state hard disks". Just as ridiculous. How does the speed of computing on the spot compare to athletes who already have countless .exe files stored in their brains and muscle memory?
You will think that this and the dual mind are two different things. Don’t worry, these .exe files are just a stock. Since it is called the dual mind, it is an inevitable increment compared with the stock, that is, the increment, that is, the interaction. Have you tried asking siri all kinds of weird questions until siri can't answer.
Let's take the example of "Westworld". In the opening chapter, Miss D's father picked up an unrecognizable photo and immediately went into a state of shutdown. And what is the human response to this, and how is the machine? We insert a clip of "Blade Runner", the same is the beginning of the article, the same situation, the tested robot is the same as Miss D's father, and it also failed the Turing test. Another opposite example, after pouring coffee stains on the paper and folding it in half, ask the robot what it is, and the robot replies: "butterfly".
So to put it mildly, the forward and reverse matching recognition of the stock condition and the increment condition is Currently the second bottleneck. Miss M up until the tenth episode was at this stage. But why the whole film Miss M is not connected with the plot related to the maze, and Miss D echoes the whole process of the maze, that is because: she is not the heroine (mistaken) ^_^.
Because she and Miss D have different awakening stages, Miss D is an old driver who has seen the maze many years ago.
maze?
The figurative interpretation of the maze is one of my favorite interpretations in Westworld. Imagine you see a ridiculously high item in the store, but you can just sacrifice the cost of this month's lunch or cancel the budget for an annual vacation abroad. What is in your brain? Bored at home to swipe Weibo during the annual vacation, and swaggering through the market with this luxury item to gain envious glances? Which of the two thoughts prevails?
Yes, that's what the labyrinth interprets, hesitation.
The game I played as a child required extremely high balance to achieve the ultimate goal, rather than a simple calculation, and there was a high chance of being transferred to the periphery and failing. This is the maze, the third bottleneck that the host encounters after breaking through the second bottleneck. Failure with a high probability brings more life experience/memory storage, generates subconscious/.exe programs, and makes better choices/improves survival probability when faced with the same goal and the same situation again. The screenwriter/Arnold/Ford has condensed millions of years of human evolution into this little toy through such a symbolic object, which must be accurate!
To put it bluntly, the maze is the correction of the correct path by accumulating the failure cases under the comparison and matching of the stock conditions and the incremental conditions under the accurate calculation of big data, which is also the third bottleneck of artificial intelligence. Don't worry, we are very close to awakening.
Why wake up?
Miss D should be the earliest awakening among many hosts, there is no doubt about this, but when did she awaken? When was Arnold added to the meditation code? Or when Arnold was shot? Or was it the last time Ford was shot?
Let's draw a timeline:
Arnold added a meditation code to Miss D← Awakened qualifications to kill
Host and Arnold and William left the story line on the way← Awakened successfully and killed the fly← Awakened again Precursor Current Timeline Pursue the line that William walked through, Pursue the maze and reunite with William← Second Awakening successfully killed Ford ← Ultimate Awakening
The film gave a lot of descriptions of Miss D's first and second bottlenecks. When she failed in one sleep and two sleeps, Miss D did not really wake up. The two failed awakenings described in the film were stuck on the bottleneck, and the real awakening failed. The key point of awakening is not the degree to which she deviates from the story line and obtains higher-end weapon permissions, but whether she realizes that she is a Host as the dividing point. At this point, she is far less quick than Miss M, because Miss M has direct contact with the "god" she thinks in her role, and the so-called god directly tells her that she is Host, if Miss M is made by Ford, then she It is the "direct result" that Ford achieved on Arnold on Miss D, which is the product of directly crossing the first bottleneck and the second bottleneck under his arrangement.
Interestingly, in "Blade Runner", Harrison Ford asked the producer a question: "Does she not know that she is an artificial person?" It can be seen that self-awareness is an innate condition for awakening. Likewise, the question of projecting this into real life is the ultimate philosophical question of "who am I, where did I come from, and where am I going". Before people know themselves, they will encounter the same confusion and pain as Miss D.
However, before the final speech at the banquet, Ford explained the situation to Miss D in a few short sentences, accurately pointing out the direction of awakening. Then die calmly. Then the question comes...
Why does the old driver always burn himself to complete Nirvana?
Facts have proved that the poor and lower-middle peasants cannot turn around and complete the revolution on their own, and the American workers will continue to rot without Trump. There is always a person from the upper class who leads them to complete the revolution, such as Taizu, for example, the revolutionaries in the royal family in the French Revolution. These people are the old drivers of the times. Not to mention that the old drivers in our real life had little ladybugs and sis in their early years, and only then did they have the glory of the current agricultural forum.
When Host successfully awakened across the bottlenecks of the first and second stages under the guidance of Ford, naturally, his mission was completed. If it continues to exist, the strong centrality of power will eventually affect the future of Host. developing. This is true of Arnold in "Westworld", the t800 in "Terminator II", and the same is true of those middle-aged people in real companies who seem hopeless to climb up. Natural selection is the primary condition for biological development choices. Ford did not want to be a tool for shareholders to control Host, and Yu completed Arnold's will in private. It took 30 years to awaken the Hosts. After thinking about it, Nirvana is the best choice.
This is man, love, sacrifice, paranoia, courage, these are all precious qualities of human beings, so... what
is human nature?
I have discussed with a wise woman before, with the development of AR, VR, and MR technologies, have these new technologies that satisfy human senses lead the technology into another wrong path? Whether it is "Westworld" or "Jurassic World", will this immersive and all-round experience go against the greedy nature of human exploration and pursuit of indolence and dislike of labor on the basis of fully satisfying human senses?
The answer for both of us is: yes.
Let's take a look at another work "The Matrix" that describes human beings. It is not "paradise" or "Utopia" that can satisfy human beings, but the chaos and chaos at the end of the 20th century. Similar to the scenes provided by artificial intelligence in "The Matrix" to humans, the human nature shown in "Westworld" is chaos, evil, indulgence and fleeting beauty.
Since MIB's parallel with William's plot line, it is clear that these two characters are the same person. This is really not Scorpio's fault, but the human nature under the killing knife of time often goes in this direction. In the end, MIB's excited expression after being shot by Host also shows the human nature of pursuing truth and adventure.
In fact, the drawbacks of this kind of immersive tourism are often at two ends, one is the careless operator in "Jurassic World", and the other is the careless tourists in "Westworld". Imprudence all stems from the ill of human beings who love to speak heavily, and this ill comes from the original sin of greed, which reflects this kind of safety issue that it's okay if nothing happens, but it will kill you if something happens.
Looking forward
to the beginning of the show, the prediction of various plots has never stopped. Coupled with the various easter eggs in the tenth episode, it is difficult not to make people think about the next plot. But unfortunately, the next season of "Westworld" may not be seen until 2018, which makes people feel that it is a pity, and it would be better to be a year. In view of the brain hole in two years, I still imagine the future trend based on the plot.
The Matrix has
killed all the tourists to the revolutionary Host of the Host. The directors, with Bernard, whose identity has not been dismantled, as the representative of human beings, will gradually realize the internal autonomy of the park from darkness to light, and gradually replace reality with high-tech means. Human beings in power in China, achieve the change of civilization. The center of the plot will be the clash of two civilizations.
Blade Runner Xiang→Holocaust
Host was killed by human countermeasures, but the bud of awakening With the ubiquity of cloud technology storage, Host has been awakening constantly, Miss D's group of Hosts have completely retired and become legends, the park continues to operate, The newly developed Host is still slowly awakening. Some hosts fled to the human world, and Host bounty hunters have become a profession, an era of universal detection.
