Raymond Kurzweil - What is the Far Far Future of Humans in the Universe? 

+Mr. M. Chamberlain: YOU can make predictions based on what we KNOW, but not about something of which you have no clue!!!! Why am I bothering to write this anyway??!!! You're gonna believe what YOU wanna believe anyway!

Forget Sci-Fi movies and forget astrology only base your opinions on facts and scientific data this person Ray Kurzweil makes all of his predictions only based on facts and scientific findings... he has a 90% success rate you people need to do your research...

Michael Chamberlain I only have five words for Ray ‘Imminent total global environmental collapse...”

Christopher Geer please explain

He did at the end of the video: is a necessary step, but not in itself (space exploration).

Can you?

Resistance is futile.

Ha, unlikely. Best wishes.

Humans are not about love. The only way we can get to a "loving society" is if we make sure everyone has everything and there's no competition. Maybe AI can get us there. Humans mostly only care about themselves, and that includes me and you. Love does exist, but it's a very very weak thing, unlike stories, movies, religion and our imagination usually portray it. And that's sad, I wish love was more of a real consistent possibility. But it is not, unfortunately. We are here because we evolved by killing our competitors in nature in the process of natural selection. Selfishness is hardwired in our brains. It's a bad world out there.

Also, why assume that we could have any conception of what superintelligent beings were doing if they were out there. If the difference in intelligence between us and those superintelligent beings was like the difference between an ant and us, it would be like supposing that an ant crawling out of a crack in the sidewalk could understand what in the world humans were capable of doing. The ant could use its senses to observe what we're capable of doing, but it would not have the capacity to understand any of it.

Very true, and as far as I know the entirety of the "nest mind" has yet to be fully understood by humans. There are many different ways of solving problems so diffuse intelligences may actually be common on worlds where evolutionary factors favoured their accelerated development. It would be possible to have an organic radio, think about a spiral nerve around ferrite crystals. Imagine 100,000 little computers (ant like brains) all talking via radio, a natural supercomputer.

@Htx457 The truth is that there is no "The truth". 😏

@Htx457 Or simply sarcasm.

Dustin M Old video

Time travel

I don't think the video is that old, it's more likely that he just like many of us made a mistake.... i do this all the time thinking "we're a few years after the year 2000" and get almost shocked when i realize that there are people born in 2000 who are 18 years old now... to me they should be babies.... If I think about 2050 I would spontaneously think it's 2000-ish now so that's 50 years from now even though it's more like 30 (32).... i'm not even that old... just turned 36... of course if I think a little on it naturally i realize what year it is (if I remember, I might get it wrong by a small number thinking it's 2016), but still.... in a conversation like this i'd say a guestimation of 40 would spring to mind if thinking about 2045

Javier Aguirre Have you seen Liz Taylor lately? She is looking good.

This may be an old video. He says in the video that 2045 is "four decades from now", so it may be that this was filmed in 2005 (and this youtube version/instance was 'published' recently).

Life is in the eyes, his aren’t so bright

Bainsworth Wow very original, you came up with it yourself?

Bainsworth who cares

Yes but not in the way you probably imagine, at first it will just be like having the sort of parasites that many people (particularly cat owners) have living in their bodies already. Except the "parasites" will be engineered and will convey benefits to their host. Imagine things the size of these with benefits and no side effects. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii then you can see how possible the ideas he is talking about are.

ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE!!!

Ahmed360 if you have an smartphone, you kinda are.

Supersonic planes are everywhere. You mean faster than light plane?

If humans become non or different biological.., ...Are Humans still Humans then..?

After working on engines for more than 10 years I now believe we are going to be the first interstellar travel civilization of this universe.

lmao how about now

Haha. I came here to say this.

lol I noticed this too

Explain explain!

Andew Tarjanyi How will thoughts occur without some sort of language?

Charles Brightman thank you, that is a fine question. Both "thoughts" and "language" are inextricably linked with the same problem which is that of a fractured consciousness, a state which appears to be existentially unnatural. That is to say, unnatural as a universal constant. When, for example, we are discussing the state of consciousness present, beyond the event horizon of the singularity we can only do so with a highly specific frame of reference, that of universal constants. It is my contention that such is the conclusion, so-called AI will come to, as a necessary existential state both for itself and that of an elevated state of human cognition. In such a state, language would simply have no function. The symptoms, from our current perspective and frame of reference of such a state of consciousness, resemble those of death but would more likely resemble a permanent experience one would expect in a sensory deprivation tank. In short, thoughts are given form and structure through language in order to exchange experience from one consciousness to another derived almost exclusively from the five senses. As a unified state, neither thought nor language would be required as they would have no function.

Andew Tarjanyi And yet you utilized language to convey those thoughts to yourself and others. Edit: And even an AI would utilize 'machine language' to interact with itself.

Carles Brightman Although that is currently the case. language between you and I is exclusively the product and solution to an existentially fractured consciousness within a linear time reference. But outside that frame of reference, a whole different set of rules apply which "would not" be limited by such encumbrances. My suspicion is, that nature will always provide tools consistent with states of consciousness. I would argue that this model of elivated consciousness is the only such one available which offers some possibility of human consciousness surviving not only "AI" but all existential threats. At some point in "our" future, biology will cease to be a survival option. Therefore leaving "us" with no alternitive but to considder the above.

But without a language of some sort, one could not even have a single thought, not even an AI. And without any senses at all, one could not have any experiences. Sure, an entity might exist, but would be stuck in an eternal never changing state of existence. Why exist at all? Just to exist? For who and why? But, if an entity had a language of some sort, they could have thoughts. And if an entity had senses, then they could experience the life that they have in whatever state of existence they might have. And if an entity had a body that could move about, then they could move about their environment. And if an entity could move about their environment, they could interact with that environment. So, it seems two options before us: a. An existence that never ever changes nor ever experiences anything at all, not even it's very own existence. Or, b. An existence that can change, experience life, and have thoughts, including thoughts concerning it's own existence. But now also one has to consider the following: Main stream modern science claims that the current forces of nature all came into existence in the blink of an eye in the early moments of the expansion of the singularity. They also claim that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. They also claim that this universe is expanding, even speeding up as it does so. So, as it was expansion of the singularity that brought the forces of nature into existence, and as the singularity is basically still expanding with energy that cannot be created nor destroyed, and hence energy in existence would be getting less and less dense, most probably on it's way to a 'big freeze', it would seem logic and reason would seem to indicate that the forces of nature should 'evolve' one day, possibly even in the very next moment of expansion of this universe. Since it was expansion that brought the forces of nature into existence and the universe is still expanding. Any current forces of nature going to change? Any new forces of nature going to come about? Any current forces of nature going to go extinct? What happens to all entities in existence probably when, not if, that day occurs? And here again, possibly even in the very next moment of expansion of this universe? Or, is main stream modern science wrong concerning how the forces of nature came into existence, and/or concerning that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, and/or that the universe is still expanding? It would seem we have bigger problems to worry about that might wipe out all life in existence that exists, artificial or not. That or to try to discern more about the very nature of reality itself. Of which then, might give us a better knowledge, understanding and wisdom that we could then apply to continue to consciously exist in some state of existence. If we even can. Or at least so it currently seems to me.

flying cars were already created during WW2, those UFOs we see in 2020 are more than likely Blackbook projects rather than aliens (still possible), the technology isn’t publicly available in masses yet, and you say 10-15 million years just to colonize the solar system? that’s too conservative man, unless a catastrophic event wipes us out. 1000 years in the future it is likely we’re starting to colonize the galaxy whether that be starships or nano technology.

Don't be such an 'etard Sam.

Draconian 's pronounce it as (who-man) human.

Sam Williams is that home empty your head is ? Your deep thinking brain can only come up with a stupid shit comment like that ?

Joe Jimbo the floor is yours Sir. Enlighten us all with your erudition and insight.

Sam Williams the floor was yours and you showed all what you have going on in your pea brain.

yes, i agree

Mike Kali we can only dream..

more like make the most realistic version of mortal combat

Mike Kali i dont think we are doing that bad...

If only humanity loved itself that much

@jigga jaw we've just got here.

I'm pretty sure this is the interviewer's house.

Yeah, that part where the Bible talks about the exponential progression of information technology is fascinating.

Ray doesn't get to decide. He just gets to give you his opinion because he was asked the question. He's a good person to ask though because he's been so very accurate in predicting how computers and technology will evolve and get better over time. You can go back and look at what he predicted. He's the first to admit that he's not looking into the future. He's just looking at how technology follows this exponential kind of growth and if you project out you can get a pretty accurate look at where tech will be in any given decade and what it will be capable of.

Roger Penrose is better than Kurzweil.

Yes, I can imagine ugly non-augmented obsolete human proletarians and beautiful uber-intelligent exploiting cyber-Capitalist class, can you imagine the class struggle ?

We are like very small children whose sphere of influence and interaction is naturally limited to its immediate family and home. In a massively parallel multi-dimensional stream of universes the cosmos is teeming with advanced expressions of life literally inconceivable by our puny developed faculties.and technology. Once we get out of diapers and begin to crawl and walk, vast worlds will open up and be explored.

True, least Elon has a crack at it eh;)

Just because something is in an old book doesn't make it true or relevant.
