The revolution of robots will come?

I have a friend, the cover of the micro-letter circle of friends with the robot Marvin, to express his heart that lingering melancholy. Some say we love the big-head robot Marvin in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because it's our own miniature. Maybe it's true ... Anyway, if you came to the 2014 Chinese Sci-Fi Nebula Awards last weekend, it's hard to see that real-world version of Marvin.

Blue Robot Marvin Sucks Eyeball

The theme of the two-day event is "Back to the Future", and the organizer is always trying to create a sense of crossing at the same time in the modern sense, but if you can feel that you are not in the present, that is the best. If you are on the ground traffic all the way to the West, this is not now feeling will be more and more strong, I once thought that I came to the urban and rural Junction, the middle theater of this modern architecture so suddenly revealed, and the surrounding environment is really not a tune, quite a surreal feeling. The theater is still very beautiful, although it is said that once a staff received express telephone, annoyed Road "apricot stone mouth Road in the middle of where?" Left or right? How could it be in the middle of the road? ”

The main forum of the entrance, the organizers produced a large background card because the clarity is not enough, the lower part of a blur, fortunately, robot Marvin appeared to make up for this little flaw, he is here to hang around and waiting for everyone. This guy hangs his head, and if you're close to trying to lift his big head, a female voice from Marvin's body sends out "Don't lift my head!" "Marvin's clothes are actually very shabby, and many of them are made out of stapler," he said. Marvin is not happy again, "don't drag ..." Of course, the scene of the eruption is definitely not just Marvin, friend Jellyfish In the nutshell market called "Duck" Duck doll, became her good partner in life.

into the main forum of the venue, the organizers of the speeches are always stressed that they travel through time and space characteristics, such as they set up a unit called the Future Affairs authority, the secretary Xiao Ji think that everyone has a unique future, this infinite attractive, and as a management department, Hope that through the activities of the guests on the analysis and Judgment, the human Guide to a better future.

Then, is full of modern sense of the "scientists" of the appearance of each of the speakers were asked to wear a suit of white shirt (the individual did not dress correctly, also let the stage, moral and moral?) , everyone is wearing a headset microphone, holding a remote control like the size of a car remote control (although often ineffective), standing in front of the big screen, sideways back to the audience to show their ppt. If you particularly like which Guy's speech, do not skimp on their own fluorescent color of the paper plane, mercilessly drop to the stage throw is! Though the plane is often directed at the head of an innocent listener in the front row ...

Robots have been able to compose and develop recipes

Since the mascot Marvin all mercilessly out to sell Meng, this time and space travel forum certainly will not be less and the robot related discussion, in the future, the robot will play what kind of role? The question is Liu Yukunlai, who has just published a new book, The shape of thought, in his new book that discusses ethical puzzles related to robotics. The words Liu Yukun on the stage for him to win the main forum most of the paper plane.

Liu Yukun majored in Computer science at university, he did a lot of research on artificial intelligence, so he has been interested in the topic of robot. Of course, there is a gap between robots in real life and those in sci-fi. In science fiction, robots are powerful and intelligent, but today's robots are still much simpler to do housework, and the distance between them looks hundreds of millions of light-years away.

But Liu Yukun to tell, is a robot called Baxter, he is an intelligent robots, two years factory, only need to spend 22,000 of dollars can have one. What is the concept of this price? In the United States, the minimum wage to hire a worker is about the same as the price of a year. Baxter in the factory mainly to do the work is a simple line work, matching, packing and so on. But why should the robot be taken out alone? Because the traditional robot will work, is through the program, but Baxter is not, but like Master apprentice, as long as his hand to lift up gestures, press some display button on it, in other words, he just know the principle of work can start work.

Baxter's inventor, Rodney, wants to make AI like zoology, not invent an artificial intelligence. The Baxter is much smarter than it was two years ago, and every software upgrade will make him smarter. According to Liu Yukun, a lot of work can be done by robots, even if many people think they have to be done by humans, Liu Yukun think that robots are not necessarily incompetent, such as work related to creativity.

In addition to Baxter, Liu Yukun also cited the example of Watson, today's robot Watson has been able to develop a new recipe, although this is because it through the process of a new combination of food, but from the wisdom of the predecessors to learn from experience, Liu Yukun think that all art is so. At the scene Liu Yukun also played a section of classical music, he said that although the music is not great, but it sounds very good, this is the hand of the robot.

Although per capita IQ in developed countries is still growing every year, according to Moore's law, robots are rising more rapidly than humans, and robots can make themselves smarter. Liu Yukun concludes that robots are ultimately more powerful than humans, and that most of the work in the world will eventually be done by robots. "Is this a good future or a bad future?" What should we think of it? "Then we'll rest," cried the man. "Liu Yukun smiled no more speech, said to thank then stepped down, he stood in the small circle ushered in more paper airplanes."

Miao: Are there any aliens? My point of view is that there is no such point, which may disappoint many people. According to the formula, there may be at least 500 billion civilizations in the Milky Way, but why is it only happening on Earth? My answer is, when the facts happen don't ask me why, haze in Beijing, you don't ask me why not in Greece, because this thing has happened. I think we are both lonely and the center of the universe.

Cixin: I think the future of mankind is likely to be two, extroverted and introverted. It technology development, so that we now have a considerable time to indulge in the virtual world of cyberspace, the equivalent of the evolution of the Earth, the future evolution is very long. Its ultimate plan is likely to take us more and more into the network, in the future, it is possible to connect with the network of devices, and the virtual world of interconnected devices implanted into our brains, eyes, all people live in the virtual world. At that time if you come to Earth, you will find that all the skyscrapers on earth have collapsed, all traces of human beings have disappeared, the nature of the animals, the extinction of the emerging. But there is a mainframe running the program, all tens of billions of of our descendants are living there, this is the inward future. And the outward future can transform our way of thinking, we take the human footsteps, traced to the most primitive of life, we expand to Mars, Jupiter, extended to the star space, such a future.

The inward future is of an extreme nature. Because it is certainly a world of bliss to spread consciousness to the virtual world, virtual world what you want, but if we are really in an outward world, there is a problem, all the wars in human history, some revolutions, have to be on the larger scale again. You say I am inclined to which future, I am more inclined to the outward future, the outward future can show the human dignity more.
