系统如何实现自复制?冯·诺伊曼敏锐地察觉出一个规律:只输出符号的机器无法构造机器,只输出硬件的机器无法构造符号。这是所有自指机器都需要面对的一个难题,也正因为如此,自指需要同时兼顾物质与符号。由此,本文作者 Howard Pattee 提出了「物质-符号互补理论」,以全新的方式定义自指系统,并在此基础上深刻讨论了符号、物质、物理规律和自组织。本文可能确实晦涩,但值得深入思考。

2022年11月30日,一个现象级应用程序诞生于互联网,这就是OpenAI开发的ChatGPT。从问答到写程序,从提取摘要到论文写作,ChatGPT展现出了多样化的通用智能。于是,微软、谷歌、百度、阿里、讯飞,互联网大佬们纷纷摩拳擦掌准备入场……但是,请先冷静一下…… 现在 all in 大语言模型是否真的合适?要知道,ChatGPT的背后其实就是深度学习+大数据+大模型,而这些要素早在5年前的AlphaGo时期就已经开始火热了。5年前没有抓住机遇,现在又凭什么可以搭上大语言模型这趟列车呢?
