2.今天你阅读到的有价值的内容段落摘录
The world is changing faster than ever before,and we are flooded by impossible amounts of data, of ideas, of promises and of threats. Humans relinquish authority to the free market, to crowd wisdom and to external algorithms partly because they cannot deal with the deluge of data. In the past, censorship worked by locking the flow of information. In the twenty-first century, censorship works by flooding people with irrelevant information. People just don’t know what to pay attention to, and they often spend their time investigating and debating side issues. In ancient times having power meant having access to data. Today having power means knowing what to ignore. So of everything that happens in our chaotic world, what should we focus on?
If we think in term of months, we had probably focus on immediate problems such as the turmoil in the Middle East, the refugee crisis in Europe and the slowing of the Chinese economy. If we think in terms of decades, then global warming, growing inequality and the disruption of the job market loom large. Yet if we take the really grand view of life, all other problems and developments are overshadowed by three interlinked processes:
1. Science is converging on an all-encompassing dogma, which says that organisms are algorithms, and life is data processing.
2. Intelligence is decoupling from consciousness.
3. Non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms may soon know us better than we know ourselves.
These three processes raise three key questions, which I hope will stick in your mind long after you have finished this book:
1. Are organisms really just algorithms, and is life really just data processing?
2. What’s more valuable – intelligence or consciousness?
3. What will happen to society, politics and daily life when non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?
3.今天你阅读到的有价值信息的自我思考点评感想
最终的这三个问题,确实难以回答。
我们可以对生物与算法的关系持有各种意见,在可预见的将来,这些意见都是部分地对或错,因为未来确实不可准确预测。即使生物容易预测,但是人工智能真的难以预测,虽然现在才开始有迹象表明它具备了快速发展需要的部分条件。
如果第一个问题没有确切的答案,后面的两个问题我认为也更无从下手考虑了。
诚如引文所言,我们拥有权力(虽然“将会”移交给自由市场、群众智能和外部算法),思考和探寻的能力,让思想穿越古今,充分享受智力冒险带来的好奇与快乐。然而,我们终将需要的,是回到当下的此时此刻,回到自己的生命本身,面对生命和生活的现实。无论智人的命运会如何流变,我们拥有的,却都只有此时此刻的当下,我们都不会活到看到智人的归宿的那一天,这也是生命意义的一部分。
思考是有趣的,能让我们明白:无论如何,当下更为重要,回到生活也是一件有意义的事情。
