Sentence/Microcosm
Have you ever fantasized about what the future world would look like?
Is it good or evil?
Perhaps because our development of science and technology has reached a stage where we can begin to show all kinds of unimaginable things, we will always imagine what the future development of artificial intelligence in the world will be.
Some people are not very fond of artificial intelligence, they think that "if the robot is too realistic to humans, it will make people disgusted."
Today I want to recommend a high-scoring science fiction short film - "Uncanny Valley"
It is about the fall of human beings in the future world, but it will never be technology that will destroy human beings, but the endless desires of human beings.
The story is set in a highly technologically advanced future world, where a group of people are heavily addicted to virtual reality VR games.
The opening footage is in the form of a pseudo-documentary interview, asking some people how they feel about real-world and virtual VR games.
These people are people from the slums of the marginalized, they don't go out all day, they don't work, they can't handle their relationships, they live in an abandoned building, where all the food and drink Lasa is solved.
They think that in virtual reality this life will never be boring again, they escape from reality, in the game can express anger, can indulge themselves, get up every day only to pay attention to rankings and killing numbers, immersed in the hunting game can not extricate themselves, live a dozen hours a day to play VR games.
Until one day, there is a person's equipment failure, he found a bug in the game, the monster he had shot before became a real human, an old woman holding the body of a dead man, looking at him nervously and scared.
He found that he was shooting real humans in the real world in the game, and his consciousness was attached to the robots, looking at everything around him, and the robots continued to shoot innocent humans, originally thinking that it was just an ordinary hunting game, but in fact, they were used as war machines.
Realizing the truth, he dropped his VR device in horror and returned to the real world, crouching in a corner in panic. At this time, a robot rushed in, and in the robot's point of view, he transformed into a monster little by little.
In the end, he is also shot as an "enemy" by others in the game.
The setting of the short film is very similar to one of the episodes in "Black Mirror", and it is also very similar to the movie "Ender's Game", making you feel that you are in control, you think that this is just a game, but in fact, your enemy is yourself.
The plot twist of this short film is amazing, it makes people feel panic, if it can be adapted into a movie, it will feel like a good subject, very ironic.
Do you know if the place you're in is the real world or the unreal world? Sometimes, do what we do have an impact on certain things...
Could life be a virtual game for a creature?
