We regret to inform you that Ray Kurzweil is back on his bullshit
(www.theguardian.com)
Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
Posts or links discussing our very good friends should have "NSFW" ticked (Nice Sneers For Winners).
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from our very good friends.
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
Kurzweil has been right on tons of his predictions.
What a shitty, ignorant title.
@Varyk
Name ten.
Easy peasy:
Computers would beat humans at chess(happened in 1998)
Digital information explosion(The information on the internet rapidly becoming too much for the entire world to read)
Medicine becoming information technology(genomic, sequencing and crispr)
The inevitability of direct human computer interfacing (neuralink)
Life extension(cryonics/neuralink)
AI becoming a major industry(AI)
Computers built into eyeglasses(google glass)
Cpu processing speed explosion(Moore's law)
PCs would be able to answer questions wirelessly (search engines and the internet)
Exoskeletons render the disabled able (3d printable prosthetic limbs)
There are many, many more correct predictions by this guy
If you think those are impressive, you’re very very stupid
I think this has been satisfactorily established by now
