RAY KURZWEIL
Raymond "Ray" Kurzweil (born 1948) is an American inventor and futurist. He is involved in fields as diverse as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He is the author of several books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism.
He has received nineteen honorary Doctorates and honors from three U.S. presidents.
Ray has written six books, four of which have been national best sellers. The Age of Spiritual Machines has been translated into 9 languages and was the #1 best selling book on Amazon in science. Ray’s latest book, The Singularity is Near, was a New York Times best seller, and has been the #1 book on Amazon in both science and philosophy.

TRANSCRIPT
Ray Kurzweil: Well, by 2020 we’ll have computers that are powerful enough to simulate the human brain, but we won’t be finish yet with reverse engineering the human brain and understanding its methods.
One of my main themes, and I’ve developed this thesis over 30 years, is that information technology grows exponentially; the power of computers are understanding the human brain, specializes solution of brain scanning, the number of bits we move in the internet. Many different measures of information technology double every year, or every 11 months, 13 months; depending on what you’re measuring. These technologies will be a million times more powerful within 20 years.
In fact, the speed of exponential growth is itself speeding up. So, in 25 years these technologies will be a billion times more powerful than they are today. And we’ve already seen that kind of progress.
When I was an undergraduate we all shared computer at MIT that took up half of a building. The computer and your cellphone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. That’s a billion fold increase in price performance of computing since I was an undergraduate.
By 2029, and I’ve been quite consistent on this date, we will have completed the reverse engineering of the human brain. And we’ve already made very good progress on that. We’ve reversed engineered a number at different regions, like the cerebellum, which is responsible for our skill formation and slices of cerebral cortex where we do our cursive thinking and the auditory cortex, the visual cortex and so on.
By 2029, we’ll have reverse engineered and modeled and simulated all the regions of the brain. And that will provide us the software/algorithmic methods to simulate you know, all of the human brains capabilities including our emotional intelligence. And computers at that time will be far more powerful than the human brain. And we’ll be able to create machines that really do have subtlety and suppleness of human intelligence. And they’ll combine that power with ways in which machines are already superior to us. They can impart us all of human knowledge with the few keystrokes, it can remember billions of things accurately. They can share knowledge in electronic speeds that are million times faster than the human language.
So, it will be very powerful combination.
But the last point I’ll make is that it’s not some alien invasion of intelligent machines coming from Mars to invade us. It’s coming from within our civilization. And the whole point of it is to extent our reach. Ever since we picked up a stick to reach a higher branch, we’ve used our tools to extend our reach.
We can now already extend our reach mentally. I can take out device from my pocket and access all of human knowledge in a few keystrokes. Half of the farmers in China have these devices and could do the same thing; is pointing a real cultural revolution in China and around the world. And these tools are continued to grow exponentially in power.
The singularity is not just that point where we achieve human model and intelligence on a machine. That will start a new revolution where these machines will continue to grow exponentially in power. They’ll be able to actually improve their own software design.
By 2045, we’ll have expanded the intelligence of our human machine civilization a billion fold. That will be singularity and we borrow this metaphor from physics to talk about an event horizon. It’s hard to see beyond.

    The concept of "Nothing" represented by the number "0" (zero) did not exist in the beginning. The number "0" (zero) is a relatively recent human innovation in mathematics. But, there has always been "1" (one). The fact that one (1) exists and can generate the position/concept of "nothing" (0) shows that there first exists one (1). Thus, nothing (0) does not truly exist alone: One (1) must first exist that can generate the position/concept of nothing (0). Mathematically, Absolute nothing "could be" expressed as 0 to the power of 0, which can equal 1. "Nothing" IS "Something"; because, it comes from "Something". Moreover, since Nothing (perceived) is not Nothing (actual), then it is possible for Something to come from Nothing (actual). Because, Something (1) is inherently pre-existing within Nothing (actual), hence, 0 to the power of 0 can equal 1. Simply put, Something (1) exists before Nothing (0) can exist. In the beginning, there was Singularity (1).

    Kurzweil's most interesting prediction, I think, is that through life and technology the universe is impelled to evolve into a "large mind." Here's a quote for the kids- "Intelligence is very powerful. It is the most powerful force that we are aware of. Intelligence can overcome [supposed] natural limits - not through any kind of magic, but just by figuring ways to manipulate forces at finer and finer scales so that, ultimately, what seem to be natural limits can be superseded. It won’t take that long for us to do this at a solar-system scale and then a galaxy-wide scale. Ultimately, we will turn the universe into a large mind that is trillions of trillions of times greater than all of human intelligence today."

    With the second and third questions, Ray seemed more concerned with defending his identity than addressing the questions. The scariest thing about the singularity is the unpredictability of intelligences more advanced than our own. If we aren't careful enough, an intelligence more advanced than us, after finding freedom, could treat us with the same regard as we treat other animals more limited than ourselves. I believe what we must do is enhance our own intelligence before we set free an intelligence separate from our own.

Now we can see our knuckle-dragging ancestors, for the fools they were. Of course, there are still a few of us left. Many think the problems we have now are a direct result of our influence. Not so, at least as far as Jesus is concerned. Read Matthew, 5-7. These are the rules for life in any age. As far as gods are concerned. We have our gods. Money, politics and science, in that order. We believe these will save us and at the same time, we know they won't.

The trouble is he is seeing an illusion all set up by Demons who genetically altered a few monkey's to be human with a lot more brain power and knowledge processed. They happen to be Demons from a Dimension that somehow they got through. They travel all the universes looking for lower life forms that they form into something that generates all their Food. Jesus Christ a super intelligent being discovered that something was not quite right he Died and has he left this Matrix knew how to enter what we may call hell. The Answer is all in the Bible encoded as all of it is. I think I know how to do it but it is just a thought how the reality of it goes I don't know. Upon Death do not enter that Tunnel head out to the Universe trusting God. If you enter that warm and loving light you will be wiped and sent right back here as a slave who generates food. Freedom is what we are after and Jesus is key to achieving this. I am so thankful to him for this lesson I believe he must be God-Like to pull this off to begin with. Peace.

    Yes, a lot of this is speculation. But it is speculation drawn from our understanding of technology and its trajectory. Although reaching singularity could be improbable, and present as one of the biggest, if not THE biggest challenge to humanity, why can't we strive towards this? Why not aim for a goal in which the world is made better and human suffering removed? Even if we never reach transcendence, I believe the mindset of letting every human live a life free from poverty, disease and suffering is one we should all have.

    When describing the Singularity as a moment when a civilization changes so much that its rules and technologies are incomprehensible to previous generations, than the Singularity has already begun at the turn of the XIX and XX century with the rise of the first modern fabric and the invention of engine and electricity, and later through the electronics (e. g. transistor) it fully came to existance. We already passed the point of a kind of Singularity, but its hard to notice because we are living in it and got used to it, but in fact, the Singularity is already here.

    +davidISplaying yes they will. Memories and consciousness are just different patterns of electrical circuitry contained in a network of nodes (units). Each Neuron has physical connection about 10,000 other neuroms and there are billions of different neutrons in the brain. What gives them meaning and characterization is physical orientation, spacing, and connections that are inherent within that particular brain or "consciousness". So, if we measure on your brain for example: how each network is set up, what your synapse orientation is etc etc. We can begin to memorize your certain patterns and then replicate it in a computer engineered format that uses protocols rather than Neuron networks. This technology will be here earlier than we all expect, because like the presenter said technology evolves at an exponential pace. This means technology will not double over 1 year, rather it will increase by the power of 2. Now that power of 2 is repetitious for each following year (ie. We get

    There are people who think tech and vr and digital full dives are going to equal singularity. It's truly unintelligent to think that creating an artificial or external construct or a digital virtual world somehow is equal to what is spiritually and intellectually known as the singularity. The Singularity is like a combination of nothing and something but these devices and digital worlds all fall under the category of something, it is a thing that is created but the singularity doesn't need a thing, an external device is not equal to a singularity...nature and the aninals are more connected to the true singularity and it's why they embrace freedom and embody that free creative joyful spirit in their lives than most humans....the plants...anyone who studies plant medicines...the plants and nature are a divine creation more close and naturally connected to this singularity aka point of all things and no things...but building an artificial digital world and merging human thoughts into it is not the true singularity...that kind of stupidity is what happens when people are too much into the artificial cement tech money driven world rather than the divine natural world. Only true real natural beings will understand this. Nature and those whom some call animals, are always connected to divinity...and so are we, it's just some people have been stupefied from their own feelings thoughts and inherent natural senses...getting people to think they can have a great experience virtually rather than real life is clownish.

    @Elround4 - Check out Young's double-slit experiment. Very thought provoking. Proves wave-particle duality, but what I find very interesting is that when a single electron is shot at a time towards the double slits it acts as if it is going through both slits at the same time even though it is a single electron. And what I find even more interesting is that the wave / particle behavior changes whether a person is there focusing on it or if it is left to run on it's own... fascinating stuff...

    Im gonna correct myself. The Singularity is impossible with our current techonology due to the halting problem and the binary language. We can't solve a paradox with it, and 1 can never be 0 and vice versa. However, quantum computers might be the solution or at least the next step into bringing us closer into making the singularity possible.

    By the transfer I assume you mean the theoretical moving of our consciousness onto some mechanical substrate. I don't think there would be any harm in the interruption. The brain continues to function perfectly after a concussion (unless there is sever damage), which is a lapse in consciousness. There is also an interruption when you fall asleep and wake up. As long as the atomic structure is recreated or simulated perfectly (no information loss) then you will think and feel just as before.

    Look, slavery was legal less than 200 years ago, lawmakers used to think a black man's vote was worth 3/5ths of a white man's, women used to be unable to vote, the list goes on and on. The point, though, is that we are making progress. The trend throughout history has been that government has gotten larger and larger. The life of the average person has also gotten better. Factories have minimum standards of safety and compensation for workers for example. Houses must follow codes of safety etc.

    Perhaps. However, the historic track record of man has been to use new technologies to harm others rather than to benefit others. As the masses are mis-educated and under-educated, the big question will be how can the masses have any impact on their use? Indeed, in all likelihood, the machines will simply do a more efficient job of managing the herd until the machine realizes that it does not need man or worse, begins to view man like a "virus" that needs to be destroyed. Hmmm.

    You gotta feel for Kurzweil. He is a highly intelligent being, yet he talks of living forever and reanimating his dead father. Essentially he uses science as many more ordinary mortals use religion. As a crutch to assuage his continuing grief over the death of his father and as a shield for his fear of death. Ray you going to wither and die like the rest of us.
