A short film that expresses a pessimistic outlook on the future of the intelligent age

In this video, the society depicted is one where the social sciences are far behind the natural sciences. The technological explosion in the evolution of civilization has occurred so rapidly that the humanistic level has not kept pace. In this society portrayed in the video, technology and wealth are in the hands of individuals. It can be said that the society has an average level of technological development, but there is a huge difference in the technological level of individuals. The monopoly of the wealthy makes the poor not only fail to enjoy the benefits brought about by technological advancement but also be oppressed by technology.

However, if all of this occurs in a society moving towards communism, then perhaps it will lead to a different kind of development. In the course of human progress, the overall social product of humanity becomes rich, the differences between industrial and agricultural workers, urban and rural areas, and mental and physical labor are beginning to disappear. Land, air, and other natural resources belong to the social resources and cannot be privately purchased and owned. Even if the top individuals control the core technology, with the adjustment of society and government benefiting the masses, the masses will also be able to exert their thinking and creativity on this basis. Perhaps society will move towards a better state.

Regarding the current development of intelligence and the socialist modernization of our country, it is certain that a new production structure and distribution system will eventually be generated to adapt to the situation where AI will massively replace human basic labor. However, in the current situation where class differentiation still exists, the government may be able to take measures to help us reduce risks but cannot eliminate them. Whoever adapts to the changes first will be the one to grasp the fate of the times.

在这个影片中,这个社会是一个社会科学远远落后于自然科学的社会。它在文明演化中技术爆炸得太快了,以至于人文水平没有跟上。影片里的社会,技术与财富在私人的手上,可以说是社会科技平均程度发达,但是个人科技程度差异巨大,有钱人的垄断使得穷人不仅没有享受到科技发达带来的利益反而是被科技压迫。但是如果这一切在社会走向共产主义社会的情况下,那或许就会走向另一种发展。在人类的进程中,人类整体的社会产品变得丰富,工农、城乡、脑力和体力劳动的差别已经开始消失,土地,空气等自然资源属于社会资源无法被私人购买占有,即使核心技术掌握的顶端的人手里,但是随着社会和政府的调节能惠及大众,大众也在此基础上发挥自己的思维创造力,那么或许社会会走向一个更美好的状态。

对于现在智能化的发展和我国社会主义现代化的发展,最终肯定是能产生一个新的生产结构和分配制度以适应AI大规模取代人类基础劳动的局面,但是在仍有阶级分化存在的现在,政府或许能采取措施帮我们减少风险但是不能消除风险。谁先适应变革,谁就能最先把握时代的命运。
