"[Kurzweil] says computers will have human consciousness in 25 years."
Wait is this one of those 1980s AI-in-25-years predictions or is this a new 2009 We're Really Serious This Time, Guys prediction?
- ivankirigin 18y agoActually, he's said the year 2029 for a long time now.
- discojesus 18y agoI think Kurzweil should be more explicit in step two.
- mixmax 18y agoPersonally I think it's one of those predictions. I explain why here: http://www.maximise.dk/blog/2008/11/why-singularity-may-never-arrive.html http://www.maximise.dk/blog/2008/11/why-singularity-may-neve...
- sgk284 18y agoKurzweil is one of the few guys whose predictions I take serious, simply because his track record is solid... in fact quite a few of is predictions he's directly made happen. If you look at the claims made in "The Age of Intelligent Machines", and the follow up a decade later in "The Age of Spiritual Machines", you realize the guy is pretty on the ball. Not 100% of the time, but even when he's wrong he usually got some part of it right.
