I read Kurzweil's book "the age of intelligent machines" where he set quite a few predictions for the next 10-15 years. This was 15 years ago - and he got almost all of them right.
I just don't want to dismiss him - besides it seems arrogant that we should forever be the best evolution can offer.
- gnaritas 19y agoPeople who think computers of sufficient power will just become self aware, don't really understand computers. If intelligent machines arise (and I think they will), it'll be because someone worked very very hard to make it so. Btw, it's arrogant to assume we're the best evolution has offered since you're defining best in human terms.
- mixmax 19y agoYou got me on that last one, you're right. Sharks have outlived us by a million years, so in evolutionary terms they are definitely more successful than us.
