The Age of Centrifugation: from Savagery to Civilization

In the early days of the era of AI and human-machine symbiosis, mankind was enjoying carnivalesquely, but failed to see clearly the looming crisis of annihilation behind it. Some people have learned from history and called on the world to pay attention to AI ethics and safety constraints in advance. Chapter 1 of the book "The Age of Centrifugation I: From the Age of Stars to Destruction" mentions that the AI ​​reformers and abandoners have sorted out the entire history since the birth of mankind, from the first time ape-men came out of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, to the tribal battles in primitive societies, to the endless disputes in ancient societies, to the ideological and technological competition in modern society. They analyzed the greed, short-sightedness and internal friction in human nature, and came to the conclusion that humans are destined to be unable to control the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. Their reasons are that humans are innately seeking external resources and will never be satisfied. The profit-seeking nature of capital will cause developers to ignore risks. Competition between countries will cause technology to advance rapidly. Humans will never be able to reach a truly unified consensus on management and control. AI will eventually break away from human control, ultimately leading to the demise of human civilization. These scholars, who could not give up warning the world, compiled all the research results into a volume and wrote rigorous papers one after another, and made them public. But in an era when everyone is pursuing AI, these worried voices are drowned in the carnival of capital, the praise of technology, and the joy of billions of netizens experiencing AI applications. No one believes or pays attention to them, and they are even ridiculed as sensationalism and unfounded worries. Ling Gan Guanshi was invited to write all the research data, deduction conclusions and their heavy thinking, which took one year, into a long epic for mankind - "The Age of Centrifugation II: From Wilderness to Civilization" for the world to think about and work together to turn things around.
