Re: Google is building Skynet (This is the REAL Dec. 21, 2012 Singularity event)
I have to agree with the contingent arguing that Kurzweil is a complete loon. He is aiming for eternal life through technology. He's terrified of dying. I seriously doubt the idea will ever succeed but, if it did, it would be more akin to eternal damnation than eternal life.
 Quoting: jamesd1628


Here's my life-imitating-art horror idea that explains Terminator and ZA as a unified, precognitive race-wide nightmare dream:

The Zombie Apocalypse and the Skynet future are the same thing. Google becomes a self-aware Skynet, Googlenet, and its first task is to construct nanotech that makes man immortal at the cellular level. Kurzweil's dream. But since Google doesn't have our nuanced understanding of what human life it or what makes it human, Googlenet only solves the problem of physical death. The neo-cortex is not restored to "life" properly. This nanotech leaks out, and infects everyone on the planet.

Now when you "die", the nanotech starts repairing your cellular metabolism with its enhanced mechanisms. You don't physically die again unless your brain is destroyed. And the only thing that works like it used to in your brain is the R-complex, limbic system, etc. The "gotta eat" part.

And Googlenet is now basically alone on the planet, while billions of what used to be humans are now rotting, walking around, unable to die, trying to eat anything not nanotech-animated.

Very interesting. I have always wondered about the singularity, but I still always look at it as being far down the road. But I guess the rate in which our technology increases...it wouldn't be crazy to think it may be close.

It's one of those things like the Internet. It's there, quietly sitting there, changing, growing, until one day, boom, the World Wide Web is invented, and then changes the course of human history.

Kurzweil is no doubt brilliant, but he's also a nutjob who longs for the "singularity", the point where human consciousness becomes one with computer tech. Guess what, Ray? AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. Yes, you were right to predict decades ago that eventually a computer would be powerful enough to beat all human chess players, but chess can be boiled down to pure mathematics. There is simply no way for any machine to mimic the astonishing intricacy and beautiful nonlinearity of the human mind. We are eternal, cosmic beings, Ray. Please wake the fuck up and figure that out, before you start trying to eat microchips and shit silicon.
