Although it is still some way from the engineer's dream of a universal AI, GPT-2 is excellent at this stage, whether it's generating fake news or writing spam. It is conceivable that the proliferation of robot accounts on social networks will only become more illegible in the future. Algorithm can not only tell stories, but also may tell better than human beings in the future......

Now many psychologists, or successful scientists, successful people, in the face of difficulties or difficulties, will tell a person, do not panic, listen to their own inner voice. But if modern technology tells him that this is a false proposition, how will he react? ......

Since I changed my program, I often get caught up in roller coaster mood swings. Today, it suddenly occurred to me that we can actually think of mood swings as a kind of 「underfitting-overfitting problem」 in machine learning. From a 「Bias-variance tradoff」 point of view, you may be able to better control your emotions......

(I) Consumer Society and Spectacle Symbols: Production and consumption, work and sleep, the most basic way of existence of human society, has long been aggregated from the economic behavior of material practice in the individual sense to the collective action of social interaction in the group sense. At the very least, spending power has become the basic yardstick for the positioning of social relationships between people. The Spectacle symbols also constitute the entire content of modern society's imagination about a better life.

In modern society, people's control over their information is becoming more and more unbalanced. There are surveillance cameras on every street in the city. Every time people swipe a credit card, make a phone call, visit a web page, and take a picture, they will be recorded......

Artificial intelligence may have cracked the "code" of certain tasks that usually require human intelligence to complete, but in order to learn, these algorithms require a large amount of data generated in human life. They connect this information, search for commonalities and relevance, and then provide a classification or prediction (such as whether the lesion is cancerous and whether you will default on the loan) based on the mode of operation they detect. However, their wisdom comes only from their training data, which means that our limitations-our prejudices, our blind spots, our ignorance-are also endowed with them......

When I read the VR article, I was thinking that if virtual reality is divided into virtual objects and virtual experiences, the former refers to the objective material basis of virtual reality, while the latter is the perception based on virtual matter. Virtual object is a substitute for the corresponding things in the real world, as far as it is concerned, it is objective and real, and it is material (some kind of electronic image or signal), but in terms of the meaning it wants to express, it is false and unreal......

When talking about interaction, it is sometimes difficult to avoid its opposite at the narrative level: immersion. However, you will find that interaction and immersion can be put into the glass jar of time, thus becoming the obscure commoditized object of the new media era. The commodity attribute of time can be simply reduced to being obscured: people watch movies, play games, ostensibly buy cinema services and game programs, but what they really consume or enjoy is this period of time watching movies or playing games. The emergence of webcast does not completely remove the cover; on the contrary, the storability of live streaming immediately gives it a new coat-data......

Tricholoma matsutake, insects, snails, thinking forests, and pigeons, which at first glance are very different from classical anthropological themes, how do they help us understand the urban environment, technology and technology, and human interaction with nonhuman beings? As a species, what is the wrong and complicated relationship between man and other species, which shapes the process of "why man becomes a human being"? In recent years, anthropologists have been interested in writing ethnographic books of many species, hoping to respond to these questions.
