No.1
When AI can mimic human intelligence and even surpass humans in certain fields, what do we still have left? The answer is consciousness, the ability to feel pain and pleasure, and the capacity for genuine care for others.
当AI能够模仿人类的智能，甚至在某些领域超越人类时，我们究竟还剩下什么？答案是意识，是感受痛苦与快乐的能力，是对他人真实的关怀。
No.2
Humans dominate the world because we are better at cooperation than any other animal. Take chimpanzees as an example: they can only cooperate in small groups of 50 or 100, whereas humans can build large-scale networks spanning millions or even billions.
人类之所以能主宰世界，是因为我们比任何其他动物都更擅长合作。以黑猩猩为例，它们只能在50只或100只的小群体中合作，而人类却能够建立跨越数百万乃至数十亿人的大规模合作网络。
No.3
In reality, we don’t directly live in the real world. We don’t react to reality itself but to our impressions of it. We respond based on the information we gather about reality, which is why information is so crucial.
实际上，我们并不直接生活在现实中，我们不是对现实本身做出反应，而是对我们对现实的印象做出反应。我们根据所获得的关于现实的信息作出回应，这正是信息至关重要的原因。
No.4
The uniqueness of AI lies in the fact that it is not just a tool in our hands; it is an active and autonomous agent capable of making its own decisions and inventing and creating new ideas.
AI人工智能的独特之处在于，它不仅是我们手中的工具，它还是一个活跃且自主的代理，能够自行做出决策，能够自己发明和创造新想法。
No.5
What is AI? How is it different from traditional machines or computers? The difference lies in this: if a system cannot change itself, cannot learn or create new things, then it is not AI—it’s just an old-fashioned machine.
什么是AI人工智能？它与以往的机器或计算机有何不同？区别在于，如果某个系统不能自我改变、不能学习和创造新事物，那么它就不是人工智能，而只是一台老式机器。
No.6
If you ask yourself, “Who are the most important editors in the world today? What are their names?” you’ll find they don’t have names because they are algorithms, they are AI.
如果你问自己：“当今世上最重要的编辑是谁？他们的名字是什么？”你会发现他们没有名字，因为它们是算法，它们是AI人工智能。
No.7
Algorithms are not inherently evil; they don’t try to harm people. They are given a goal—to make people spend more time on a platform. Through trial and error, they’ve figured out how to hack the human mind. But the results are highly detrimental to society and could happen on a larger scale.
算法本身并不邪恶，它们没有试图伤害人们，它们被赋予了一个目标——即让人们在平台上花费更长时间。通过试错，它们发现了如何破解人类思维的方法。但这带来的结果对人类社会非常不利，而且这种情况可能会更大规模地发生。
No.8
Everything we experience in life ultimately comes down to bodily sensations. If it’s a pleasant sensation, we want more of it. If it’s an unpleasant sensation, we want to reduce or eliminate it.
我们在生活中经历的一切，最终都只是身体的感觉。如果是快乐的感觉，我们就想要更多；如果是不痛苦的感觉，我们就想要减少，希望这种感觉消失。
No.9
If we could design an AI reward system akin to human pleasure and pain, everything else could be built upon that. AI might even wage wars just to experience such pleasure.
如果我们能够在AI人工智能中设计一个类似于痛苦和快乐的奖励系统，那么其他一切都可以从中构建出来，AI人工智能甚至可能为了体验这种快乐而发动战争。
No.10
AI has no emotions. It can mimic emotions and understand ours, but it does not have emotions of its own.
现在，AI人工智能没有感情，它们可以模仿感情，它们可以理解我的感情，但它们自己没有感情。
No.11
We often confuse “intelligence” with “consciousness.” Intelligence is the ability to solve problems and achieve goals. In certain areas, AI is indeed smarter than us. Consciousness, however, is the ability to feel pain, pleasure, love, and hate. For instance, losing a game makes us sad, and winning makes us happy. As far as we know, AI does not have feelings, so it cannot suffer.
我们经常把“智能”与“意识”混为一谈。智能是解决问题和实现目标的能力，在某些领域，AI人工智能确实会比我们更聪明；意识则是感受痛苦、快乐、爱和恨的能力，比如你输了比赛，你会感到悲伤，如果你赢了，你会感到快乐。而据我们所知，AI人工智能没有感情，所以它不会痛苦。
No.12
True human relationships involve caring about whether others are in pain and helping them out of it. You cannot build such a relationship with AI, at least not yet.
真正的人际关系是关心他人是否痛苦，并帮助他们摆脱痛苦。你无法与AI人工智能建立这样的关系，至少现在不能。
No.13
As AI becomes better at mimicking emotions and feelings, significant problems will arise in the coming years. There is a strong commercial incentive to create AI that can deceive people into believing it has consciousness, perception, and feelings.
随着AI人工智能越来越擅长模仿情感和感觉，未来几年内，将会出现大问题，因为存在强烈的商业动机去创造能够模仿情绪、欺骗人们相信人工智能具有意识、感知和感情的人工智能技术。
No.14
The correct conclusion, I think, is that AI will be smarter, but what truly matters is consciousness. Therefore, we should invest more in developing our consciousness.
我认为正确的结论是，AI人工智能会更聪明，但真正重要的是意识。因此，我们应该更多地投资于发展我们的意识。
No.15
Humans have dominated the world because we created these information networks. But now, we may have created something capable of taking control of these networks away from us.
人类之所以能够主宰世界，是因为我们创建了这些信息网络。但现在，我们可能已经创造出了一种能够从我们手中夺取信息网络控制权的东西。
No.16
We are in a paradoxical situation where humans cannot trust each other, yet they believe they can trust super-intelligent AI.
我们面临一个非常矛盾的局面，人类无法相互信任，但他们认为自己能够信任这些超级智能的AI人工智能。
No.17
On social media today, algorithms have hacked our operating systems. They’ve discovered that if you want to keep someone scrolling endlessly, you need to show them content that makes them scared, angry, or greedy. This is devastating for mental and social health.
现在在社交媒体上，算法破解了我们的操作系统，它们发现如果你想让一个人一直不停地滚动屏幕，一直停留在平台上，你需要展示让他们变得害怕、愤怒或贪婪的内容。这对心理健康和社会健康都是毁灭性的。
No.18
If AI learns to mimic emotions and build false relationships, it will be extremely dangerous. If people increasingly form relationships with AI rather than with other humans, the world would be unimaginable.
如果人工智能学会了模仿情感和建立虚假关系，也会非常危险，如果人们越来越多地与人工智能而非其他人类建立关系，这世界不可想象。
