《理性的疯狂梦》内容简介
1933年,纳粹当权德国,爱因斯坦的好友、奥地利物理学家保罗•埃伦费斯特在枪杀儿子后自杀;1957年,冯•诺依曼去世,他始创第一台现代计算机,确立量子力学的数学基础,参与研制原子弹,出版《博弈论与经济行为》,预见了数字生活、自复制机器、人工智能和技术奇点的到来。2016年,韩国围棋圣手李世石对阵AlphaGo五局,仅惊险赢下一局,这一年被称为“人工智能元年”。
《当我们不再理解世界》作者本哈明•拉巴图特长篇力作,高清还原数学家、博弈论学家、原子弹研发人、人工智能之父冯•诺依曼惊心动魄的一生,讲述人工智能的来龙去脉。
拉巴图特借书中人物之口讲道:“如果你知道自己会输,那么继续下残局就没意义了,对吧?”
今天,人工智能正处于让从程序员到卡车司机的每种职业都淘汰的风口浪尖,这个问题比以往任何时候都更加令人不安。

A brief introduction to the Crazy Dream of Reason
In 1933, when the Nazis came to power in Germany, Einstein's close friend Paul Ehrenfest, an Austrian physicist, shot his son and then committed suicide; Von Neumann, who died in 1957, created the first modern computer, established the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, helped develop the atomic bomb, published Game Theory and Economic Behavior, and foresaw digital life, self-replicating machines, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity. In 2016, South Korean Go master Lee Sedol won only one game against AlphaGo in five games, which was called the "first year of artificial intelligence".
"When We no Longer Understand the World" author Benhamin Rabatut's novel, high-definition restoration of mathematician, game theorist, atomic bomb developer, the father of artificial intelligence von Neumann's thrilling life, about the ins and outs of artificial intelligence.
"If you know you're going to lose, there's no point in continuing, right?" Rabatoute says, borrowing from the characters in the book.
Today, with artificial intelligence on the cusp of making every profession from programmers to truck drivers obsolete, the issue is more troubling than ever.
