Isaac Arthur 

Aliens vs AI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoQetQgp-QQ


Imagination suppresses our imagination.


When I first saw the title and clicked on the video, I kind of looked forward to it. Because one of my favorite things is a virtual confrontation between two forces, or characters. But rather than focusing on the AI-alien confrontation, the videos are talking about their characteristics and the behaviors they're going to deal with us.
Isaac first told three reasons why AI cannot harm humans. 1. Not all AIs agree, 2. AIs say they will develop paranoia that the world they live in is a lie, and 3. When they go extinct, they don't know if another civilization or the same human race will come to wipe them out. I think this is possible because of AI's fatal problems, like the match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo. After the match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo, drivers in sports like Go and Chess have more cases against AI, and they practice to beat AI. The way they targeted AI was that it was the best and best shot in any situation. They purposely induced the AI to take a number of off-guard action and then beat it in a critical number after dozens (the number I heard was about 26). Perhaps AIs are so smart that they think about tens of thousands of ways they can extinction humans. Ironically, however, humans also think about tens of thousands of ways to control themselves.

What's unique about this video is that the boundary between aliens and AI is blurry. Aliens we usually think of are big eyes, short stature, and colorful skin. However, it refers to various AI + alien civilizations, including one that lives in virtual reality and controls robots, one that controls AI, one that does not use AI, and one that does not use AI. It would be difficult to talk about AI without considering the technology that would come to distant interstellar space.

Their behavior is diverse and unusual. They have a wide variety of everyday lives and behaviors -- virtual reality civilizations, space-ditching civilizations, war and looting, terraforming, imperial civilizations, interstellar civilizations, and coming back to reclaim their homeland. And there are space life civilizations that we haven't talked about, but we often talk about. There's space, where those billion civilizations go to war. He said, the universe is too big and diverse for AI and aliens to mean a lot. The beings we imagine in that faraway universe, however, may be very similar or identical to us. But we think of only limited aspects, different in skin and very different in appearance. That imagination keeps us stagnant and not allowing us to go any further.

Because of our imagination, AI is unable to attack humans, I have separated AI from aliens in a dichotomous way, and I have regarded the image of aliens as just big-eyed dwarfs with heterogeneous skin colors. We can only imagine when we stop imagining.

 Watch What if we release books episodically? Report after video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdqQyw49SIk After watching What if we release books episodically? After this TEDx talk, I became very interested in new ways of publishing books. Speaker Elle Griffin brought up the innovative idea of releasing books in collections, rather than publishing complete books all at once. This approach is similar to that of a TV series, allowing readers to look forward to the release of a new chapter every once in a while and maintain their interest and enthusiasm for the story. Through this video, I discovered that publishing books by collection is a novel way of publishing, which allows readers to continue to follow and look forward to the development of the story. This model is not only applicable to fiction, but can also be extended to non-fiction books, engaging readers by gradually revealing the content. This mode allows readers to interact with the author and other readers during the r...

A short story about Goffman's theory   In the  bookstore in the city center, the clerk Xiao Liu is the "informant" here. His job is to pay attention to the customers who come to the store and get valuable information from their conversations. Xiao Liu always looks busy but friendly, and he skillfully organizes the bookshelves to help customers find the books they want. One day, a regular customer, Professor Li, came to the bookstore and started chatting with Xiao Liu. Professor Li is a "service expert" who knows the book market very well and is particularly good at analyzing the popular trends of books. Xiao Liu took the opportunity to ask about the future trends of several best-selling books and gained a lot of useful insights from Professor Li. At the same time, another customer, Xiao Zhang, was also wandering in the bookstore. Xiao Zhang is actually an "informant" who likes to find out all kinds of gossip everywhere and then sell it to those who nee...

The psychology of self-motivation | Scott Geller | TED talks x VirginiaTech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxpKhIbr0E Scott Geller is a Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech and a member of the American Psychological Association. Scott focuses on the "psychology of self-motivation" and how to have the motivation to find it in life. Self-motivation is an important skill that we all need to master. Being able to motivate yourself and others at work will make things better. When you are presented with a huge and daunting task, you should be able to motivate yourself instead of procrastinating; it will only make it harder to overcome inertia. Self-motivation is also important in your personal life. Think about the countless times when you lacked the motivation to go to the gym or save money. How did you feel? Maybe it was a feeling of defeat and frustration. You often don't feel good. But if you can motivate yourself and achieve, you feel proud and happy. Find out what m...
