AGI in sight: our look at the game board

Posted by in categories: Ray Kurzweil, robotics/AI

Im still w/ Kurzweil at 2029, but:


+1. While I will also respect the request to not state them in the comments, I would bet that you could sample 10 ICML/NeurIPS/ICLR/AISTATS authors and learn about 10 well-defined, not entirely overlapping obstacles of this sort.

We don’t have any obstacle left in mind that we don’t expect to get overcome in more than 6 months after efforts are invested to take it down.

Our doggie Kaia just had some organs removed (spayed) and I was surprised that she didn’t get the standard cone of shame

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, Ray Kurzweil, robotics/AI

It turns out that it is now pretty standard to have no external stitches for spaying, and in fact, if I had to do it over again, I would have picked one port keyhole surgery which would have been even easier to heal from. (That would have required switching vets.) So for only $400, Kaia not only had advanced surgery with no outside stitches, but she was made into a cyborg with a microchip being implanted. Pretty impressive!

This is just one example of us rushing headlong into a science fiction-type future. The biggest such example being ChatGPT which feels way more intelligent than previous chatbots. It used to be that Ray Kurzweil would say that we would have AGI in 2029 and everyone else predicted dates such as 2070 or never. Now many people pick 2029 and I could definitely see the tech behind ChatGPT being part of the recipe for AGI. For me, the first example that AGI was coming, was Content-Aware Fill being added to Photoshop. That feature allows you to erase a person from a beach scene in one quick step. Very impressive!

One more example of tech advancing is that a few years ago my right eye’s retina partially detached. My doctor did surgery with cryotherapy in his office, and inserted a sulfur hexafluoride bubble to stabilize everything. He followed up the next day with laser therapy, again in his office. No hospital needed. Eye fixed!

Transcendent Man: The Law of Accelerating Returns

Posted by in categories: Ray Kurzweil, robotics/AI, singularity, virtual reality

Ray Kurzweil on the Law of accelerating returns:


Ray Kurzweil: Acceleration of technology is the implication of what I call the law of accelerating returns. The nature of technological progress is exponential. If I count linearly 30 steps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… I get to 30. If I count exponentially: 2, 4, 8, 16… 30 steps later I’m at a billion. It makes a dramatic difference.

God, Human, Animal, & Machine | Meghan O’Gieblyn, Feedback Loop ep 54

Posted by in categories: media & arts, particle physics, Ray Kurzweil, singularity, transhumanism

This week our guest is Meghan O’Gieblyn, who has written regularly for entities such as Wired, The New York Times, and The Guardian, in addition to authoring books such as Interior States and her latest book: God, Human, Animal, Machine: Technology, Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning.

Interestingly, much of Meghan’s work pulls on her experience losing her faith in religion while simultaneously being drawn into transhumanism from reading the Age of Spiritual Machines by Singularity’s very own Ray Kurzweil. This exploration of Meghan’s background and her latest book takes us on a journey through the ways in which technology and spirituality have historically woven together, the current ways in which they are conflicting, and the future philosophical questions we’re going to be forced to reconcile. For those of you interested in this subject, I highly recommend going and listening to episode 52 with Micah Redding, which lays a lot of the foundation that we build on her in this episode.

Ray Kurzweil Thoughts on Immortality — A Kabbalist’s Response

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, Ray Kurzweil

Ray Kurzweil, an American Jewish inventor and futurist, claims that within ten years, man will be able to defeat old age and death thanks to the accelerated development of technology.

My question in relation to Kurzweil’s statement is: What is so good about us constantly living all the time? Why live at all if we are never to die?

Robots and AI Taking Over Jobs: What to Know About the Future of Jobs

Posted by in categories: employment, Ray Kurzweil, robotics/AI

I believe that full automation of jobs will create an utopia so we can all have universal basic income giving a reprieve for all humans from hard labor or hard mental labor as well kinda like the Jetsons where very few will need to work. Essentially allowing us to dream just like Ray Kurzweil has proposed.


AI taking over jobs may happen in some industries more than others. Learn how AI and robots will impact the future of work.
