I don't know Kurzweil's real position, but I believe in one of his books he expected singularity by 2045. A lot of people don't protest the idea itself, but the optimistic schedule.

- strlen 12y agoVernor Vinge (who wrote one of the first essays on singularity) recently stated that we can tell the singularity has happened when a robot can clean an un-prepped bachelor's pad (robots can currently clean a prepared room, but they can't clean a room in an "as-is" state).
- Reedx 12y agoYep, Kurzweil was actually just interviewed by CNN (on their new show Inside Man) about singularity and that's still around the time he predicts it'll happen.
