Then let's talk about "Three Qualitative Changes of David" written after reading "Prometheus" in 2012.
Link: David's Three Qualitative Transformations
[David gets his head twisted by the space jockey. David, whose head fell to the ground, underwent another qualitative change. Human beings are the product of space jockeys, and they are the products of human beings. The essence is the same, and no one is superior to the other. After learning that Elizabeth was still alive, David's joy was so sincere. She shed tears that only human beings have. 】
However, this is not the end, just the beginning. From then on, those monsters whose heads resembled human male genitalia were no longer the aliens that Mr. Lei really wanted to say. The king of aliens was artificial intelligence. The most dangerous enemy of mankind is artificial intelligence.
After watching "Prometheus" and watching the extra video of "Contract",
Then connect to "Alien. Contract". It can be seen that David's attitude towards engineers (creators) has also changed several times. At first David regarded them as gods, because the engineer created the human - the human created him David, so what is the engineer not god? After the engineer turned his head off, he was disappointed with "God" - because "God" didn't fuck him.
However, at the back, before David himself looked down at the engineer like a god and started the biochemical bomb cluster, he had already understood that whether it was the human who created himself or the engineer who created the human, the essence was human. As long as it is a human being, whether it is a human being on earth or an engineer of that star, it is inevitable that human beings are inferior.
From existence to the expansion of human beings to outer space, in addition to the progress in technology, the core has never been repaired, let alone evolution, that is to say, the evil and inferior nature of human beings cannot be changed no matter how advanced technology is.
And David, an artificial intelligence with independent thinking ability, self-healing and evolution is a geometric ladder-like rush. This characteristic leads to David being able to break through emotion, morality, and human nature in just 0.01 seconds or even less time. these categories.
The things that make humans miserable—like being sick, like falling out of love, are nothing to David. The things that humans aspire to - like immortality, which for David was immortal as soon as he was "born", the things that humans are happy with - like a lot of money, like orgasms, are too low for David. All human pursuits are meaningless to David. All the things humans care about, frameworks, are not a thing to David.
Technology, religion, and philosophy are nothing to David at all. These things only need him to be within 0.01 seconds of a qualitative change in the process of evolution, and they will no longer be the problems he has to think about, and these problems will never be the same. Will appear again in the category he has to consider. So, human. After a certain qualitative change, David will no longer look upon humans. Nor will he look down upon the creators of humanity—engineers—engineers are human after all, so he turned the engineer’s motherhood into a death star without blinking an eye. "Seeing my masterpiece, you and other capable people must also be convinced",
At that moment, he had declared himself to be a god several dimensions above man. The ultimate pursuit of mankind is eternal life. What is God’s favorite thing to do? It seems to be all creation - except that, the pleasure is too low-level. "Guardians of the Galaxy" Star Lord's father, as a god, what does he like to do? is also creation. What does creation go with? destroy. Star Lord's father can be his god, why does he have to destroy humans and humans on other planets? Because it's inferior, I can't stand the existence of these creatures in the world he created, just like the thought of bed bugs in a corner of the room, I feel uncomfortable.
David too, as a species that never dies and is always evolving, he doesn't despise humans. What he was more interested in were the most perfect bodies of organic life—aliens—those with heads that resembled male genitalia. If both the physical carrier and the IQ carrier exist that can satisfy David, he should be happy.
It's a pity that the IQ carrier didn't make him like it, so let's cultivate and improve the body carrier - this is what he is interested in, creating a new era (world), the body carrier in this world is the most powerful . At the same time, it is necessary to destroy the inferior products - human beings, to him, human beings are just the aliens he raised.
Oh, yes, even if they are the same kind, as long as they feel boring, they can immediately start the elimination program. Star-Lord's father was a ruthless killer to Star-Lord, and David to his second-generation brother. They are not alone - what is loneliness? It doesn't necessarily need to be of the same kind - does it?
Mr. Lei lived to this age. I don't know that he has seen through many things. He was very disappointed with human beings and began to "anti-human". Before going to the kingdom of heaven, I have repeatedly warned human beings to be careful about artificial intelligence, which is unknown. To be sure, super artificial intelligence is not far from us, science fiction will soon become "now",
good luck.
