I'm sorry, what? Is this saying what I think it is?

Yeah no. We won't be "aging in reverse" thanks to ChatGPT. And this prediction is supported with a graph of CPU speeds over time? Has the whole world gone mad?

- Terr_ 2y agoKurzweil's predictions always seem to be: "Miraculous advances will arrive just in time for me to live forever." So the world might not be mad, but I suspect a 66-year-old is grappling with one inevitability, while some other folks are grappling with the inevitability that stock prices can't always go up.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoPeople have been in search for immortality since the dawn of humanity. Kurzweil's claim - made by extrapolating graphs using trends - will be appended to the list in no longer than 30 years. It's not even a cool one like the fountain of youth or prostrating himself to the gods. Waiting on the inevitability of modernism in a post-post-modern age is depressingly archaic.
- deepfriedchokes 2y agoAll of Kurzweil’s predictions stem from his own personal fear of death.
