后场 Back of House与建筑师再讨论 AI：从机械马车到自动驾驶。本期节目是与 08 期 —— 在顶级效果图公司 Luxigon 工作：AI 时代的美学逻辑博弈。—— 嘉宾 jin 关于 AI 的延展讨论。-当 Alphabet 旗下的 Waymo 用计算机生成整个虚拟城市来训练自动驾驶 AI 时，真实世界 1 分钟的模拟相当于 AI 在数字环境里积累了 53 天的驾驶经验。这种突破物理限制的训练方法，让 AI 在两年内完成了人类司机需要 20 万年才能积累的驾驶里程——我们以为在训练 AI 识别红绿灯，实际上它可能在重构我们对物理规则的理解。而当人类试图预测 AI 的未来时，却暴露了根深蒂固的认知局限。就像汽车刚发明时人们还用「机械马车」来想象交通工具，现在我们仍用「绘画」「设计」等人类概念框架去评判 AI 的创造。也许真正的颠覆在于：当 AI 开始用完全不同于人类视觉规律的方式生成图像（比如抛弃文艺复兴以来的透视法则）、信息和抉择，艺术评判标准和科技权力结构都将面临根本性质疑。--【嘉宾】jin【主播】que、kaiho【视觉、声音设计】刘璐【音乐】The Raveonettes - Last Dance、Kraftwerk - The Robots【文中提及】机械马车（科幻想象力困境的经典隐喻）、僵尸透视图（耶鲁大学提出的 AI 图像本质论）、Waymo 虚拟训练宇宙、DeepSeek 反框架训练实验、《最后的问题》（阿西莫夫 1960 年神预言）、碳基思维枷锁、巴别塔困境、AI 降临派宣言-Waymo 在菲尼克斯城自动驾驶（图：CNBC）耶鲁大学杂志 Perspecta 56: Not Found | The Yale Architectural Journal：“Zombie Perspective”阿西莫夫所著《最后的问题》-后场 Back of House 是不同领域的幕后视角与声音，我们尝试摒弃常规的正面叙事，从非正面的视角出发，关注建筑、艺术、体验与生活方式。2025-04-2722 min

Talk DesignApril Clark & Ed RichardsonThe Daniel Residence is a modern re-interpretation of the shotgun typology responding to both the owner’s Louisiana roots and the long narrow nature of her property. Visitors enter past the formal sitting room into a central vestibule which flows in an enfilade procession between kitchen / dining and the sitting. In section, 11’ and 13’ ceilings and extensive glazed openings offset the compact planimetric constraints of the site. Beyond the public spaces, a u-shaped stepped retaining system receives the intertwined forms of the principal suite and pool with the principal bedroom occupying a special place of prospect, looking out to the waterl...2024-09-2447 min

Although the setting of a television show or movie may appear seamless to the audience, we have learned in this conversation - that is actually an extreme, coordinated effort - that even requires a bit of luck! So many moving pieces have to work in concert in order to present the atmosphere we all admire; especially in a mid-century period piece like Mad Men, or Catch Me if you Can.
