Re: Singularity near as Ray Kurzwell gets prestigious "Director of Engineering" at Google. BORG IT!
I look forward to becoming transhuman. Fairly sure I have enough money to let the OP rot in his meatbag as I become immortal. Some people embrace technology, some people are scared by it (Mostly, people who don't want to understand it or are incapable of understanding it). I'll let you figure out which one is more fit for survival in a modern world where machines and algorithms are the largest driving force for unemployment and economic growth. (That's right kiddies, the economy is BOOMING. People aren't getting their jobs back because I'm busy coding their replacements. China is about ten years away from the same problem.)

This isn't some NWO goal. This is the natural consequence of a free market economy cyclically pushing technological limits every five years or so. Within 40 years, most of you won't recognize the world you live in and will wind up with two options: Become smarter and more capable via technological upgrades, or fade into obscurity with small communities of like-minded luddites. I promise I won't subjugate you too much.

You quite effectively demonstrated your ignorance by building your argument on a faulty premise. You believe you live under a free market economy. You have no idea what that is, unless you're maybe 150 years old and lived in the U.S. prior to 1913 (the year the U.S. government was overthrown in a silent coup and the world's financial system put on its present, terminal course).

I think you are overestimating the value of paid research reports, which main aim is to impress to get more funds. Read those reports again with critique.

and that is kurzweil's biggest secret in earning a living and staying relevant for last several decades, selling these dreams to rich assholes whose time is almost up.

Not sure what the prob is, Rays book is great, and although I don't agree with everything he has stated, you need to remember that almost all the things he has predicted have come to pass. I see no problem if I can live forever. But people like yourself will always exist that promote F.U.D. and thats a shame because you've created a knee-jerk reaction to something you probably haven't researched properly.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30243755


Oh really Ass Munch?

Enjoy licking the metallic boots of your transhuman masters?

i've been researching the singularity for years and have forgotten more about the subject than you have probably even learned. So you can kiss my ass with your knee jerk reaction bull shit. Maybe you haven't researched it properly pig.

Being bound forever in your meat sack combined with a robotic machine is living? You can have that

Go suck off your borg masters!

You will NOT assimilate me.

Kurzwell is one of the leading figures pushing for the singularity aka Post Human era...

Do you look forward to waking up inside a vessel with a feeding tube hooked up to your face? Aren't you thrilled for the future, so you can have smart dust aka nano sized microchips lodged into your brain for fuel to the BEAST system Borg Hive?

First its the Smartphone, next its gonna be augmented glasses and shortly after that the integration takes effect. Combination of man and machine, merged into one jeroboam. If you've seen some of the recent technologies within the realms of Nanotech and Supercomputers, you wouldn't laugh.

Recent articles of Nanobots merged with Rat Heart Cells allow these nanogoblins to walk. Scientists are uncovering new delivery mechanisms everyday with viruses, bacteria and other nature made movers. HP "Hewlett Packard" has been working on a program since at least 2008 called "CNeSE" Central Nervous System of the Earth, which tracks the entire planet and everything on it via real time 24/7 with over a TRILLION nano sized sensors aka nodes, tracking movements at the micro level.

Kurzwell is HELL bent on turning the world into a POST HUMAN MATRIX, just read his book "The Singularity" and call me a conspiracy theorist....

Today, he starts his new job as Director of Engineering at Google. It's unclear what he'll be doing but anyone who has heard of Google's X Lab might be able to put two and two together. The X Lab is a secret facility where technologists are working on 100 projects pertaining to future technologies. Surely Kurzweil will get a peak inside.

Don't knock a Hive mind until you've tried it. The majority of citizens would certainly have their IQs raised considerably in a hive mind.

Why?

Because I want a better life filled with more abundance health and memory?

I think you are the sick one.

Go then, denounce all technology and run through the forest naked chasing animals then...

Clothes are technology, so is fire, so is glasses for people who can't see, without technology we would all be dead and miserable.

Refrigeration, soap, running clean water, hell even the fricken PC that you are using to damn me to hell...

Who are you to decide when is enough for all of us?

Most likely there will be several offerings for assimilation into virtual worlds, immortality treatments and cyborg brains.

Choose wisely.
