Reminds me of the library trek in Asimov's Bicentennial Man. Asimov had a great perspective on the various ways humans would react to robots. His robot series is a really enjoyable read (and once you finish those, there's a good chance you'll want to read the…
…viewer probably thought he was and recognized the difference between him and the computer and Holodeck[1]. Though my favorite version of that question is in Asimov's The Positronic Man (basis of the movie Bicentennial Man and yes, Asimov is why Data has a Positronic brain). These are fiction, but I find this so interesting. I feel like our LLMs look much more like the computer from Star Trek than the Holograms let alone…
For fiction: it's a hard tossup between Snow Crash and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, though Ender's Game, The Bicentennial Man, Rendezvous with Rama series, and Atlas Shrugged also would be contenders for me. For nonfiction: some current contenders would be Democracy: The God that Failed, The Physics of Immortality (very thought-provoking…
……彻底因为与其说是阿西莫夫的故事，它更像是一部买了阿西莫夫 IP 来套皮的动作片。倒也不至于让我反感，因为我觉得两者根本没啥关系，但片子也确实谈不上多好。《双百人》更贴近他的一些小说，不过我觉得在某些地方被好莱坞搞得有点过于煽情了。那种把 AI 机器人和忒修斯之船悖论混搭在一起的感觉，绝对更接近……
…completely as it's more of an action movie that licensed some Asimov IP to reskin itself than an Asimov story. It's not offensive to me as I don't see the two being that connected, but it's not great either. Bicentennial Man is closer to some of his stories though I feel like it got a bit of the sappy Hollywood treatment in some places. The sort of mashup between AI robots and the Ship of Theseus paradox is definitely closer…
> He realised that what made a composer properly understandable, properly "affecting", was in part the fact of mortality. Impressive how Asimov has figured this out a while ago (in the Bicentennial Man) ! Otherwise, why isn't he using a pseudonym ?!?

让我想起了阿西莫夫《双百人》里去图书馆的那段长途跋涉。阿西莫夫对于人类会对机器人产生各种各样反应的视角非常棒。他的机器人系列读起来真的很过瘾（一旦你读完了那些，大概率会想继续读……

……观众可能也觉得他是，并能分清他和计算机以及全息甲板（Holodeck）[1]的区别。不过关于这个议题，我最喜欢的版本出自阿西莫夫的《正子人》（电影《机器管家/双百人》的原型，没错，Data 会有正子脑就是拜阿西莫夫所赐）。这些虽然是科幻，但我觉得太有意思了。我总觉得现在的 LLM 看起来更像《星际迷航》里的飞船电脑，而不是全息影像，更别说……

虚构类的话：在《雪崩》和《严厉的月亮》之间真的很难抉择，不过《安德的游戏》、《双百人》、《与拉玛相会》系列还有《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》对我来说也都是强有力的竞争者。非虚构类：目前有力的竞争者包括《民主：失败的神》、《永生的物理学》（非常发人深省……

> 他意识到，让一位作曲家真正被理解、真正“打动人心”的部分原因，在于死亡这一事实。令人赞叹的是，阿西莫夫很久以前（在《双百人》中）就已经想通了这一点！要不然，他为什么不用假名呢？！
