The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions. 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡： * 打赏平台：www.patreon.com/universuspod * 商务合作邮箱：[email protected] If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: * 打赏平台: www.patreon.com/universuspod * Business Inquiries Email: [email protected]

【聊了什么 The What】 这是一场纽约Same Room华语播客节线下录制的节目！ 来自行星酒馆的东尼，新新人类的一闻，残言片语的八如和选修课自己的老赵一起聊了聊：在AI浪潮席卷全球的当下，内容创造者的边界正在模糊。AI时代，创造者的“护城河”究竟在哪里？从硅谷大厂的AI从业者到在特教领域手搓视频的电影导演，从文字记者的身份认同困境到物理学博士的科普实验，我们不只谈论技术效率，更深挖技术背后的审美规训与语言不平等。AI能模仿哈姆雷特，但它懂那背后的历史与痛苦吗？本期节目将打破“AI杀死创作者”的二元对立，探讨如何在这个“万物皆可替代”的时代，守住人类最核心的决策力与注意力。 This is a live recording from the Same Room Chinese-Language Podcast Festival in New York! Tony from Planet Speakeasy 行星酒馆, Yiwen from New New Humans 新新人类, Baru from Fragments 残言片语, and Universus's own Lao Zhao got together to talk about how, as the AI wave sweeps the globe, the boundaries of content creation are blurring. In the age of AI, where exactly is a creator's "moat"? From an AI practitioner at a Silicon Valley tech giant to a film director hand-crafting videos in special education, from a print journalist's identity crisis to a physics PhD's experiments in science communication — we go beyond technological efficiency to dig into the aesthetic conformity and linguistic inequality behind the technology. AI can imitate Hamlet, but does it understand the history and pain behind it? This episode breaks free of the "AI is killing creators" binary and explores how, in an era where "everything can be replaced," we can hold on to humanity's most essential powers: decision-making and attention. 【时间轴 The When】 * 00:37 - 跨界对话：科技从业者与传统媒体背景创作者的 AI 初始体验 * 08:00 - 坦白局：创作者使用 AI 生成初稿时的心理负担与 Stigma * 12:56 - 实践中的摩擦点：AI 在手语翻译和特定文化场景中的“无能为力” * 18:20 - 算法不平等：少数语言用户在 AI 时代的资源挤占现状 * 24:47 - 创作的“蒸馏”：AI 能否通过学习顶尖创作者实现高质量产出？ * 35:31 - 中美差异：为何好莱坞激烈抵制 AI 而国内创作者态度开放？ * 40:40 - Vibe Coding 警告：失去“把手弄脏”的积累，会削弱底层创造力吗？ * 47:29 - 护城河之争：辨别力、阐释权与保护注意力的重要性 * 52:18 - Q&A：AI 驱动的短剧 与内容创作的本质意义 * 69:35 - 护城河或许并不存在，享受创作过程本身即是价值 * 00:37 – Crossing Lines: First encounters with AI, from tech workers to traditional media creators * 08:00 – Confession Time: The psychological burden and stigma of using AI for first drafts * 12:56 – Friction in Practice: Where AI falls short — sign language translation and culturally specific contexts * 18:20 – Algorithmic Inequality: How speakers of minority languages get squeezed out of resources in the AI era * 24:47 – The "Distillation" of Creativity: Can AI produce top-tier work just by learning from top-tier creators? * 35:31 – US vs. China: Why Hollywood is fighting AI so hard while creators back home stay open to it * 40:40 – Vibe Coding Warning: Does skipping the "getting your hands dirty" phase erode foundational creativity? * 47:29 – The Moat Debate: Discernment, the right to interpret, and why protecting attention matters * 52:18 – Q&A: The AI-driven micro-dramas and what content creation is really for * 69:35 – Maybe there is no moat — the value is in enjoying the act of creating itself 【我们是谁 The Who】 选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。 选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013.

【聊了什么 The What】 海德格尔在 1938 年说过一句话：世界进入了一个"图像化的时代"——它不再和我们一起存在，而是变成了一个被观察、被研究、被掌握的对象。 这期是《选修课》在狂喜播客节攒的一个四方连线，每人填一个半命题：世界是一个 ______。 物理学家老赵填的是钟表，传播学者方可成填的是洞穴，残障研究者仁慈填的是巨大的楼梯，律师 Lokin 填的是草台班子。 四张图像并置起来，照见了现代性的一些隐秘脉络——为什么我们这么依赖量化？为什么"客观"成了一个越来越站不住脚的承诺？神死之后我们靠什么获得确定性？以及，AI 时代，我们是该悲观还是乐观？ In 1938, Heidegger wrote that the world had entered "the age of the world picture" — no longer something we inhabit alongside, but something to be observed, st…In 1938, Heidegger wrote that the world had entered "the age of the world picture" — no longer something we inhabit alongside, but something to be observed, studied, and mastered as an object. This episode is a four-way crossover recorded for the Kuangxi Podcast Festival, hosted by Elective Course. Each guest was asked to fill in a blank: The world is a ______. Physicist Lao Zhao filled in a clockwork. Communications scholar Fang Kecheng filled in a cave. Disability studies scholar Mercy filled in a giant staircase. Lawyer Lokin filled in a slapdash operation. Placed side by side, the four images expose some of the hidden grain of modernity — why we've grown so dependent on quantification, why "objectivity" has become an increasingly untenable promise, what we turn to for certainty after the death of God, and whether, in the age of AI, we should be pessimistic or optimistic. 【时间轴 The When 】 * 02:44 为何我们需要拆解世界的"复数图像"？ * 10:48 钟表宇宙图景：上帝作为第一推动力与永恒运行的规则 * 13:13 主客体二分法：当自然成为被征服的对象 * 20:55 还原论的代价：从"第一性原理"到互联网的"可扩展性"神话 * 26:53 李普曼的《公众舆论》：揭秘我们脑海中的"伪环境" * 30:34 柏拉图洞穴寓言：当影像取代真实，人们为何拒绝走出洞穴？ * 38:39 空间感知：为何纽约对不同身体来说既是天堂又是地狱？ * 45:31 视觉中心主义批判：图像比喻背后的感官局限 * 49:56 《阿凡达》的政治隐喻：前现代神圣秩序与现代性治理的对比 * 58:59 为何我们突然觉得世界是个"草台班子"？ * 1:08:43 美国宪政如何通过模糊性运行250年 * 1:12:30 法律界暴论：法官、律师的利益博弈与AI对法律文书的挑战 * 1:18:32 AI认识论：材料与观点的二分法是否依然有效？ * 1:23:00 算法的"进步"：科技公司如何在AI中人为矫正偏见 * 02:44 Why do we need to break the world into "plural images"? * 10:48 The clockwork universe: God as the prime mover and the eternal rules of motion * 13:13 The subject-object split: when nature becomes something to be conquered * 20:55 The cost of reductionism: from "first principles" to the myth of internet "scalability" * 26:53 Lippmann's Public Opinion: unpacking the "pseudo-environment" in our heads * 30:34 Plato's allegory of the cave: when shadows replace the real, why do we refuse to step out? * 38:39 Spatial perception: why is New York both heaven and hell, depending on the body? * 45:31 Against ocularcentrism: the sensory limits hidden in the metaphor of "image" * 49:56 The politics of Avatar: pre-modern sacred order vs. modern governance * 58:59 Why does the world suddenly feel like a "slapdash operation"? * 1:08:43 How America's constitutional system has run for 250 years on ambiguity * 1:12:30 A hot take on law: judges, lawyers, conflicts of interest, and the AI challenge to legal writing * 1:18:32 AI and epistemology: does the split between sources and viewpoints still hold? * 1:23:00 The "progress" baked into algorithms: how tech companies manually correct AI's biases 【我们是谁 The Who】 选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。 选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013.
