Lex Fridman 与 Elon Musk 的对话

Grok翻译: https://lexfridman.com/elon-musk-4-transcript 战争与人性 我最近一直在思考罗马帝国,就像人们常做的那样。 有一个梗说所有男人都至少每天想一次罗马帝国。 一半人对此感到困惑,不知道这是不是真的。但更严肃地说,考虑到当今世界正在发生的战争,以及你所知道的,战争和军事征服一直是罗马社会和文化的重要组成部分,我想这也是人类历史中大多数帝国和王朝的重要部分。 是的,它们通常是通过征服建立的。不过也有一些例外,比如哈布斯堡帝国,他们通过许多聪明的联姻策略扩张。 但从根本上看,征服是一种动力,他们崇尚战争中的卓越,许多领导者都是杰出的将军之类的人物。所以我想问一个宏观的问题,经过Grok认可的…… 经过测试,Grok认可了。是的。 至少在娱乐模式下是如此。你认为战争在多大程度上是人性的一部分,还是人类社会结构的结果?我之所以问这个问题,是因为你似乎在某种程度上颇具争议地成为和平的倡导者。 我通常是和平的倡导者。在我看来,无知可能是真正的敌人,需要去对抗。这才是真正困难的部分,而不是与其他人作战。但所有生物都会争斗。人们可能认为自然是某种和平的事物,但事实并非如此。Werner Herzog有段很有趣的描述,他在丛林中说,那里基本上是四处充满谋杀和死亡。丛林里的植物和动物每时每刻都在试图杀死对方。所以在这方面我们并不特殊。 这里有一个相关的问题:随着智慧的增长,是否会对这些暴力的基本本能有更大的控制? 是的。相比黑猩猩,我们对控制暴力的本能有更多的能力。实际上,如果你观察黑猩猩社会,它并不友好。Bonobo是个例外,但黑猩猩社会充满了暴力,坦白说相当可怕。那是我们本能系统在起作用。你不会想站在黑猩猩的错误一方,它会把你的脸吃掉,把你的睾丸扯下来。 是的。基本上在黑猩猩社会里没有限制、伦理,或者几乎是纯粹的战争。黑猩猩社会里没有所谓的正义战争。战争和不择手段的支配地位? 是的。黑猩猩社会是人类社会的一个极端版本。它们基本上完全不爱好和平。暴力极强,偶尔会有人因为看了太多迪士尼电影,决定养一只黑猩猩当宠物,结果那只黑猩猩吃了他们的脸,或者扯掉他们的睾丸,或者咬掉他们的手指,这种事发生过好几次。 扯掉你的睾丸是一种有趣的互动策略。 确实有人遇到过这种情况。真不幸。我猜这是一种确保对方无法继续贡献基因库的方式。 从武术的角度来看...

Legitimate ways to work remotely for overseas companies as a Chinese citizen

Image
As I have investigated so far, there are at least two ways in which a Chinese citizen can legally work remotely for overseas companies: Independent Contractor : One of the most common ways is to work as an independent contractor or freelancer. In this case, I am not an employee of the company, but I provide services based on a contract. I will be responsible for managing my own taxes in China. It's essential to have a well-defined contract that specifies the terms of the working relationship. Outsourcing work to China : The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China provides a channel to allow Chinese companies to become international service providers, you can check the procedures by  clicking this link .  My friend’s software development company  is legitimate to work as an international service provider from China, I can work for the international clients on behalf of the company. As for ta...

Some applaud on writing expository Calculus essays

Image
This post is mainly used as a reply to xAI's tweet, it is excerpted from my self-introduction letter. We are hiring creators, teachers, and curators to help improve our models! If you are extremely good at writing and an expert in your field, pls DM us evidence of your most exceptional work — xAI (@xai) August 26, 2023 I think there are few good textbooks on calculus written in Chinese for beginning students, most of the textbooks put too much emphasis on rigor, while the rigorous presentation is difficult to grasp and obscures the understanding, so many students struggled with the course. I suffered the same difficulty when I started learning calculus on my own, and I failed the self-learning at least three times until I found good books suitable for self-study and developed the method for self-learning. Although I have found my way to go on my calculus learning, many students still struggle with the course, thus I feel a sense of mission to help ease the learning of calculus for...

xAI needs a better logo

Image
I mainly want to contribute a better logo for xAI The letter ‘I’ in the current logo of xAI is not noticeable, in order to stand out the ‘I’, I provide the following design. Another brand new design is as follows. Since the goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe, to explore the unknown, I recall the following diagram To relate the name ‘xAI’ with the diagram, I replace ‘What we don’t know - Unknown’ with ‘x’, then it becames Of course, AI is developed based on what we know, so the diagram can evolve to So plain, huh? I tried a few fusions and then I found the satisfying one – enclosed by the red rectangle. I tried to produce it with PS and got the following: And its skeleton is as follows The design of the ‘x’ might remind you of the ‘x’ in the SpaceX logo, you may think it was inspired by the latter - what a good coincidence! As you can see, one flaw in my design is that the curve transition near the left bottom of the letter ‘A’ is not smooth, I a...
