Twenty-five years ago, Ray Kurzweil predicted computers would reach human-level intelligence by 2029, unlocking solutions to the worldâs 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.

I would like to introduce to the SXSW video team the concept of â¨editingâ¨

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

I couldnât stomach the way he interviewed one of the greatest minds

This was great information from Ray. On a sidenote, Iâve never seen such universal agreement about the dislike of an interviewer.
39 |
Was the interviewer under the impression that people were there to hear from him?

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

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.

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?

Interviewer was pretty bad. I like Rayâs optimism, I hope heâs right. I want to continue experiencing the world, even if itâs in digital form, so Iâm looking forward to brain upload (eventually).

Whyâs the audio so low? Shouldnât we be past these issues in 2024?

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 yetâ.

Ray just rocks. Always.

Ray is 18 yrs my senior, a hero and along with Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry, the last living Father of Futurism in the Late 20thC. Everyone else has been influenced by one of these four, regarding last century and how I believe we all want a very similar idea of the future to come to fruition.
Basically, it's a version of Star Trek - not exactly like but based upon the ideals of maximising human potential that all four held as a centralising tenet; though in some works is the maypole around which utopia and dystopia dance.
We are only 4 key technologies away from that ideal; warp drive, replicator manufacturing, transporter, tricorder/health treatment and the only thing needed is compute power to realize the science.
OF COURSE I'm aware of the impossibilities where the laws of either Relativity or QFT are transgressed currently and within any current paradigm. These are hopes, dreams and goals to be striven for no matter how improbable the outcome I want.
I could care less what/where/why the interviewer gets cred, he ain't gotr none wit' me because like most journalists, there's an agenda.

I love Ray kurzweil

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.

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.
107 |
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.

The singularity is quieter

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

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.
