Portuguese and Spanish language translations for SXSW 2024 Keynotes and Featured Sessions presented by ItaĂş

Twenty-five years ago, Ray Kurzweil predicted computers would reach human-level intelligence by 2029, unlocking solutions to the world’s grandest challenges. Today we are right on track to reach this milestone. During the 2030s, AI will become superintelligent, vastly outstripping our capabilities and enabling dramatic medical breakthroughs to overcome aging. This is not an alien invasion. AI is evolving from within us and will reflect our humanity. By 2045, we will connect our brains directly to the cloud, enhancing our intelligence a millionfold and expanding our consciousness in ways we can barely imagine. This is the Singularity.

Interview was antagonistic; very bizarre. Ray is getting older but he’s a brilliant mind. He deserves deep respect.

The interviewer is Nick Thompson, CEO of the Atlantic and former editor of Wired. Not sure if this is his usual interview style, but I agree with everyone here that he could be more respectful.

Was the interviewer under the impression that people were there to hear from him?

Ray Kurzweil is a gentleman. He's low key, he's patient and he's amazingly polite in the face of the interviewer who was arrogant, disrespectful, glib, and dismissive of many of Mr. Kurzweil's ideas. In fact, it was Kurweil's sense of dignity that made the interviewer look like a jerk. The Atlantic magazine should fire that guy. He make The Atlantic look like a masthead for the worst kind techie nerd know it all with no moral compass. It was difficult for me to watch this interview because of the interviewer. I wanted to listen to Ray Kurzweil and the interviewer made is a very unpleasant experience. The Atlantic should fire that guy. He's a disaster.

Ray Kurzweil is a god. So sorry to see him interviewed by Mandark from Dexters Lab.

Why’s the audio so low? Shouldn’t we be past these issues in 2024?

Interviewer was pretty bad. I like Ray’s optimism, I hope he’s right. I want to continue experiencing the world, even if it’s in digital form, so I’m looking forward to brain upload (eventually).

very disrespectful to the guest and the audience when you don't care the guest is heard. what is the audience supposed to do? twiddle their thumbs?

This was great information from Ray. On a sidenote, I’ve never seen such universal agreement about the dislike of an interviewer.

I have listened to several discussions/interviews with Anthropic's Claude and I have to say I would have no idea I was talking with an AI, except that Claude seems more erudite than most people. I think we have already passed the Turing Test. As William Gibson said "The future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed yet”.

the thing is you can create a digital twin (or will eventually be able to) but the subjective experience of being alive will still end for the organic original. having a computer twin doesn't mean YOU live forever (or even 500 years). It means the computer twin lives forever. you still die when your brain dies. you don't experience the subjective internal consciousness of that digital twin. as far as medical advancements that are able to combat the currently inevitable genetic "clock running down" that results in death...there's potential there. If AI aided science is able to "talk" to the DNA and modify/preserve it and thus prevent it from "running down"/aging then that will extend human life.

Apparently, Ray Kurzweil is only 76. But his Dad died young. I wish his treatments worked better. He is a brilliant man.

The audience told you the balance of microphones was wrong, but you didn't listen. The sound production could have been better

The interviewer makes this difficult to watch. His personality and hand gestures seem obtrusively contrived. His demeanor is gnawing and abrasive, and most of his questions are phrased in a way that sound like he is challenging Kurzweil. He sounds impatient, patronizing and self-important, like his questions are more important that Kurzweil's response.

everything is getting faster and faster, and Ray is getting slower and slower. It's lovely

I understand they may have had some technical difficulties on location but there's no reason they couldn't have cranked the volume up a bit for the YouTube video. I've got my iPhone maxed out and I'm having trouble hearing in a quiet room.
