According to news reports, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Major General Roman Kutuzov, commander of the Russian 5th Army, was killed in action and was suspected of being accurately shot by Musk's Starlink system satellite positioning + artificial intelligence facial recognition technology + drone kill.
These three things combined are very scary. Elon Musk, CEO of the American Space Exploration Technology Company, said in an interview that "Starlink" will be composed of 42,000 satellites. Since the launch of the Starlink program in February 2015, SpaceX has launched 2,091 Starlink satellites. If the 42,000 satellites of the Starlink project are completely deployed and controlled, it will be equivalent to the entire low-altitude orbit of the earth being filled with killer weapons that can be called at any time. And we know that artificial intelligence face recognition technology is now very mature. As long as your photo has appeared in public (such as the Internet), it may be recognized. There is even technology that can predict your adult age based on your photo when you were 7 years old. appearance, with an accuracy rate of up to 90%. Are there any of us who haven’t posted photos on the Internet? There should be some, but you can imagine who they are. If a drone is equipped with stealth technology, it will be difficult to prevent it, because it is impossible to install a radar system in every corner you walk. Moreover, even if you spot a drone flying by, if you are attending some event, it will be difficult to bring weapons to shoot it down in time.
This dragnet can only be resisted by time and space technology and teleportation. Could it be that we have already mastered the black technology of extraterrestrial civilization?
Many people have already questioned Musk’s right to go to outer space to deploy satellites. In fact, the author also has the same question. According to this, Erma, Huawei , Chinese Academy of Sciences ... can also go to outer space to deploy satellites. Britain, France and Germany will certainly demand this right, and North Korea will naturally not be willing to take a backseat. So, with these densely packed satellites, do you want to play with bumper cars from time to time?
We know that Musk had a bumper car with our "Tiangong" before, but he didn't hit it. Is this just an accidental act?
Between July and October 2021, two satellites in the U.S. Starlink project approached our country’s space station without warning. In order to avoid collision, our country’s space station adopted “emergency collision avoidance”. Although it was successful It avoided the collision of the two satellites, but it also consumed expensive fuel to change orbits.
If we have to launch "bumper cars" into the sky intensively, who will be responsible if they fall and hit someone? It's not good to hit flowers and plants. If this matter continues to be deduced, it is very likely that someone in any corner of the world will be hit on the head by a piece of space junk falling from the sky anytime, anywhere. We don’t need COVID-19, and we have a high-sounding reason to stay home.
Similarly, flying cars are also a very unsafe black technology, because you can regard them as manned drones. If autonomous driving technology is adopted, it will become a drone. And we have discovered that all companies can use civilian guise to carry out military operations.
Now these technologies do not threaten our national and personal security, just because we are not handing over and the Warring States Period , and we still have nuclear weapons on standby. Once a country unilaterally designates you as a belligerent, it can instantly change civilian use to military use. But can you easily use to nuke ?
The United States has declared to the world that it threatens the security of all countries and human beings in the world by using Starlink + facial recognition + drones in military operations in the Russia-Ukraine war. It is just a matter of whether it wants to use it or not.
Artificial intelligence There are also some technical applications that many people yelled "Wow" after reading them. For example, a company called "Silicon Metaverse" recently used authorized images to generate a live video of this person. You can search it online and watch it. Most people cannot tell the difference between a real person and this virtual digital person ("digital clone"). This principle is actually not complicated at all, and our technical team can complete it within a week.Many people don't know how to do it. In fact, they just take some standardized animation materials and combine them with the 3D virtual human generated by AI using human faces. Any animator can find dozens of such "body animation material series" at any time, such as "nod your head every 2.3 seconds and give a smile at the same time" and so on. The only difficulty with something like this is the grid. Current animation technology relies on putting a grid on the 3D model to load actions and expressions. As long as the grid points and positions of the two faces match up, the action + expression animation can be perfectly copied. Everyone's face is different in width, the position of the facial features is also different, and the number of grid points generated when each model is manufactured is also different. But as long as you use artificial intelligence technology, batch generation and alignment of grids is not a problem at all. Even if manual operation is used, it will take at most half a day to align the meshes of the two faces.
The simplest operation, I can use your face to generate a confession video, and then send it to your fiancée, and you will be unable to argue. Most people will use it for live broadcasting. I just lay down and eat melon seeds and let the digital clone live broadcast to make money. The most dangerous thing is to use your relatives to generate a video of being kidnapped to extort money. Even if you are just an Internet celebrity and the real person has not appeared in the eyes of most people, it is not impossible for me to kill you in reality and replace you on the Internet.
Therefore, the technology of digital clones is very good when used on cultural relics, but it is not so pleasant when used on human beings, especially when you authorize images and use your voice or even your "mantra" ” and language habits are also authorized.
Someone has warned about this kind of problem before, but I don’t know why this kind of technology has made a comeback. Others cheered for this: Wow, technology changes life, and technology benefits mankind.
When the law cannot keep up with the pace of technology, every technology may be used by criminals to do bad things.
And many black technologies are being produced secretly without us knowing.
The author has also thought that maybe we can do some processing on the photos and voice lines to form a de facto protection without affecting your daily use. For example, I put the eyebrows, nose, and mouth of your photos in certain places. I can lighten or eliminate specific points, or I can slightly adjust the curve of the corners of your mouth. With this combination of punches, most people will still see you, but artificial intelligence may not be able to recognize you. This idea is feasible, but it is difficult to achieve at the specific implementation level, mainly because human scientists have no idea what parts and features it recognizes when artificial intelligence performs face recognition. Of course you can add some code to track its recognition trajectory, but we don’t know to what extent it can be done, and we don’t know how to change these features and to what extent, AI will not be able to recognize them. What's more, the industry will continue to improve models. If you have encryption experts here, there will always be decryption experts over there. If in the end my facial features have to be changed beyond recognition in order to be protected, is there any point in this kind of protection? And even if you find an excellent encryption method, once the quantum computer is used in this field, your encryption method will be broken in seconds.
Should we each wear a mask when going out in the future?
Therefore, what is now competing for technology is no longer economic development prospects, but which country and its citizens are safer.
artificial intelligence autonomous driving technology is also a huge pitfall. First of all, it is difficult to achieve 100% accuracy based on the algorithm. As long as the accuracy is 99%, it means that there may be an accident in 100 trips. Although the change rate is far lower than that of human drivers, the ethical issues are indeed unacceptable to everyone. People think it's my own fault if my car flips over on the road, but if there's a problem with the machine, it's a disaster. In addition, self-driving technology cannot solve problems such as a plastic bag flying over and covering your camera. Although driving yourself may also have such problems, we still have a human being sitting in the co-pilot and watching.So now autonomous driving technology is basically not mentioned, only assisted driving is mentioned. Since it is assisted driving, it cannot be separated from humans, so you can't relax and read a book or watch a movie. However, this assisted driving system needs to install a lot of cameras, and they must be installed on key parts of the front and rear of the car. If it wants to access real-time traffic, it will be uploaded to the cloud in real time. It's like there are many cameras monitoring your every move at any time, and they can be viewed in the cloud at any time. Not to mention, if you are waiting for a traffic light and a self-driving car passes by, its camera will also capture you. You pat me, I pat you, and just like that, the whereabouts and whereabouts of each of us can be seen at a glance. If the camera is still a 360-degree panoramic camera , you can see what you say and do in the car at a glance. Although GPS positioning also exposes our whereabouts in the cloud, the additional camera in the upgraded version has such an eye-catching feature that it seems that it cannot be done by just one GPS. In the future, maybe your friends will call you and say, "Hey, I just saw you in Sanlitun . You were dressed like that, and there was an 18th-tier star with the surname x standing next to you. Why did you tell me that?" You don't have time to see me in the afternoon, and you said you have a very important phone meeting. By the way, why is the supermodel still driving a and a Mercedes-Benz ? Didn't she just say that she sold the car after paying the tax... By the way, your mother just took your car to be washed, but doesn’t your mother have a driver’s license? "
Let’s talk about blockchain. Now when we send and receive express delivery, the address is exposed. But the good thing is that no one in the express delivery company wants to save so many of your orders, and the Internet server will regularly clear out expired document information, otherwise it will be a waste of money. If you don't shop online for 3 years, there is a high probability that your address will be effectively protected. But blockchain, NFT, metaverse are different. Once you are on the chain, it cannot be tampered with or disappear. I can guarantee that when someone’s body is lying in the morgue, his digital body on the blockchain still exists, and no one will collect the body, and it is impossible to collect the body according to existing technology. Moreover, thanks to distributed accounting technology, this corpse can theoretically be accessed on any terminal around the world, instead of being stored only on a certain cloud server of a certain company.
Then I just want to protect a copyright, sell a piece of art, or just play a game, or even just go to the metaverse to show my face, why do all my secrets have to be "strictly protected" by the blockchain? Woolen cloth? When protecting copyrights and trading artworks, can I prevent my other privacy besides trading items from being exposed on the chain and connected in series? For example, what does my mother look like? Did my sister send me a package? In the past, if someone wanted to maliciously expose this information about me, it would require sophisticated human flesh technology, but now it is no longer necessary.
At that time, will we miss the world without blockchain?
Let’s talk about big data. Big data has long exposed our privacy, but we just pretend not to know because it brings too many conveniences. At least it brings too much convenience to merchants. They can recommend books, jewelry, headlines that are not headlines, and cosmetics... My big data seems to belong to the whole world, and they can still communicate with each other. By joining forces, we can trade, and when we meet shameless people, we can drag out the database, but these big data do not belong to me.
However, is it possible for us not to develop these high technologies? Impossible, if you fall behind you will be beaten. But how to develop and avoid the endless traps is indeed a big problem. It is likely that the levels of Internet protection technology in the future will be far more than the levels of use. For example, if I open an APP, 50 sets of protective shield technologies may be turned on by default at the same time, including hardware and software. Only then did people discover, oh, it turns out that I can’t live without the service of an artificial intelligence assistant, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to access the Internet!
