The Singularity Is Near changed my life. Terrific book. Really jogged my imagination, and got me thinking on all the useful, valuable information inside that book.
An excerpt from that book changed mine as well. On the other hand I found the whole book difficult to read in more than short stints. It felt like I was drudging through cruft to find those few moments of brilliance.
@@SamBourneOfficial The Singularity is Near was his "response" book, responding to critics of his first 2 books -- it's definitely the driest and hardest to get through of the trilogy, as it goes to great lengths to look at things logically like a philosophy paper. His other two books in the series (The Age of Intelligent Machines and The Age of Spiritual Machines) while definitely dated, still hold up and are much more interesting and easy to read.
@@pugpugpugs5382 Not only does he want to extend his life indefinitely, ie. escape death, he's on record as saying he thinks he can re-animate his Dead Dad using A.I. He's obviously a genius, but also a bit of a kook.
Thank you for the production, editing and posting of this video. Ray Kurzweil has more useful information to provide than most any person, living or not. And to have that information shared to anyone with UA-cam access, at no cost, is yet another valid metric that supports the FACT that our species has succeeded beyond any expectation of prior generations. How incredibly fortunate we are. THAT is reality.
Thank you Lex Fridman for sharing this wonderful presentation by Ray Kurzweil; I thoroughly enjoy listening to him. His focus in his pursuit of his many profound missions is inspiring, and his well of knowledge of the evolution of the growth of reasoning in the mammal brain using real everyday simple examples during his talk is scientifically valid and unquestionable, and his optimism for his predicted results and the time-line of those results are breathtaking in what this all means for the human race in just a few years from now in 2018. I would say that given his indisputable record for accurate predictions in so many technological/health/biological fields, we are in for an enormous paradigm shift that I am certain large majorities of peoples will not be able to fathom/accept the ramifications of. Imagine how religious fundamentalists of all religious belief systems will react to backing up one's mind to the cloud. If one feels things are out of control now with religious nuttery, wait till this becomes a real-time option.
This video is amazing for being free of charge, his knowledge is really outstanding, so much things are going on in the background of media which we arent aware of, I believe the first outcome of AI will be the autonomous transportation age
Lex I am a big fan of your channel. My personal favorite youtube channel in fact out of 400 something that I follow. However, you need to do a long interview (3 hours) with Ray Kurzweil. We are many who awaits that anxiously. Please ;-)
When you find yourself in a world predominantly occupied by capital drive, and a complete negligence for the omnipotence of the human mind, it is spectacularly inspiring to see a far reaching nerd so eloquently revisit the path of human history into artificial intelligence; especially with the paucity of political agenda, hypeist product pushing. This is a great utilisation of the internet, thank you for sharing.
Lmao he is a beast that's why :) btw guys if you haven't heard about SENS foundation check their new program called Project 21 at sensproject21.org and if this project get a lot of support in 2021 the first human trials will be available so please support or at least try and as always thank you very much
RE comparison with Edison in the introduction: Edison is overrated and Kurzweil deserves a better comparison. Edison was a narrow-minded businessman more than a thinker or innovator. His legacy reminds me of Columbus as far as misplaced reverence. Nikola Tesla deserves more attention.
It's incredible how he doesn't get tired of giving the EXACT same conference over again throughout the decades and doesn't say *ANYTHING NEW!!!!* Please Ray, *SAY SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T SAID A MILLION TIMES FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS!*
Hey Lex, thanks for sharing all your dedicated work and fun. Could you please sit with Ray and talk about longevity a bit? I am getting old and I want to live forever.
Inventing jobs... (facepalm) is so damn obsolete thinking. “We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller

Ray's assistant asked that I read that intro. I respected that request and did it. I usually prefer to keep the intro brief, to the point, and get to the actual talk as quickly as possible.

27:10 Having a hierachicly structured AI, i guess makes it better for us to understand it, but it doesn't have to be a better AI because of it. Sure we are hierachicly structured in our social systems and how we built up logic, right? Yet when he talks about the alien ways how Alpha Go made a move unknown to us or how the queen and bishop was sacrificed to win the game, it is about the categories we have and cant apply to a logic we were not able to follow. I think we should start defining what rights an AI could or should have, even more so if it would have or develop conscioussness. So if it comes to that, the AI itself may see us as equalls or at least well meaning and therefore it would approach us in kind.
kinn grimm dude even the Creator's of the AI admit they don't even know how it works or can predict what it will do, let alone 'us' understand it. This is straight out of the Terminator movie's, nothing good will come of this. shoebat.com/2018/01/22/new-ai-robots-are-being-used-to-predict-when-you-die-with-90-accuracy-but-that-is-not-the-scariest-part/
From that article "If a man can derive all the pleasure he wants from a machine or machines made to his liking, the incentive to reproduce with a woman no longer exists" The rich who could actually afford at some point models of lifelike robots which could trick someone into believing it would be a real woman, those would die out first i guess ^^. The singlemindedness of that statement i quoted from that article is quite astounding. As if people don't feel longing for a close relationship to a partner or childreen. If at anypoint that would be duplicated with machines, maybe we are done for it, but my guess we will off us before that happens some different way as such a meaningless and empty existance would be unbareable. Then this article has a dead baby in it, how fucked up are you that you spread such shit? Do you know if some child or teenager is reading our comments? Get some perspective.
kinn grimm the statement is accurate, your stupid response to that statement is quite astounding. How fucked up are you to be mad at the people shedding light on the killing of babies and not caring who actually kills them? Anyway if that's all you got from that whole article then you're actually too stupid to even converse with and deserve what is coming to you.
valar, I don't know. Senolytics look like they are going to provide a significant boost to lifespan, and they are effective when taken late in life. (They kill senescent cells, and senescent cells are very harmful to organisms.) That's one example of a technology that is getting close. There are a number of other technologies that we have today (stem cells, rapamycin, c60, nicotinamide riboside...) that are of varying degrees of helpfulness. Ray just turned 70 four days ago though. (Feb 12) His odds depend on how healthy he is, how fast life extension technologies are developed, and how much extra time we get from each of them. I guess if I were to place a bet on Ray's demise, I'd agree with you that he's probably not going to "make it", but his odds are not zero. Cryonics has improved so much that it now represents a plausible backup plan, and he is an Alcor client.
He actually wrote a book on this called "Transcend" that features his 9 steps to living long enough to live forever. It including recipes and workouts - www.rayandterry.com/transcend/
How can the Singularity happen if our deteriorating environment causes civilization collapse? {This is also being documented - we need 7 Earths to maintain our levels of materialism. I wish someone would have asked about this]
Unfortunately my son was intentionally (not homoside) hit by a bus (sometbing similar). How to stop that action without having the input as death occured. Optimism (internal) is not enough, we need hope (external)!
Life evolved by itself through evolution after infinite numbers of tries and errors if we believe in that assumption that theoretically, it is possible to create a program that emulates the development of life in the virtual world.
What year was this? I haven't seen Ray speak since the pandemic started but I assume dying of COVID would interfere with his long-term plans. I ordered his new book "The Singularity is Nearer" but it's been delayed a few times. I believe the release date is now set for June 2023. I very much look forward to reading it.
Mental Representation has as much to do with thinking processes as module architecture. Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind could be based entirely on Representational Thinking. Theory of Mind is an Agent Based System, just a Mental Representation of the actual Agent Based System of which we all exist. Thus is it only natural we evolved a module architecture that increases our ability of Symbolic Thinking.
I love Ray but the talks he gives and the introductions to his talks by presenters need to drop all the preliminary stuff about his past accomplishments. The exponential growth charts vs. Lateral growth and the 65million year history of man from a rodent like mammal through primates to modern man is a bucket of cold water on my interest levels. I am always excited to see a new video about Ray so that he can amaze me again and again but it seems like every hour long talk of his is a repeat of the exact same first fifty minutes of his first hour long talk.....I'm scared to open the cover of any book about or by him because of this.....it's an anti climax to what such an interesting man could be talking about.
I meant that fifty minutes of every hour he talks is a repeat which is the same in every talk.....it was brow raising the first time but maybe the cure for this would be a little note saying where in the video to begin if you're already familiar with his biography and explanations about exponential vs lineal growth.
yeah I agree, even the answer to the questions are all exact same phrases of previous lectures. This time they did not even answer the questions. But I also believe that with age you slowly replace generation of new ideas with your experience and it seems like his age 70 reflects that.
True because you are "subscribed" to him. I bet he was the same (giving lots of lectures on same subject) before, you just didn't have so much access (and in such a short timeframe) to his projections. Of course it gets boring this way.
Maybe this is the right place for this question: I would really like to be in the AGI field. I feel like I've found something meaningful to do with my life. The question is: what are the prerequisites for engaging in a course like this? I don't have a strong mathematical background, but it's been six month now that I'm in data science and machine learning. I'm learning python and builted a basic on linear algebra and calculus. I've approached Tensorflow and Neural Networks. Where do I do now? Where do I go? What do you suggest I could look for as a job, to be able to work and learn at the same time? Thank you very much for you answer; deeply appreciated
I am not sure what he means when he is saying that the world is hierarchical. can someone explain this in laimans terms? I would love to have solid evidence for this, as some of the social sciences seem to disagree.
39:00 "...a consensus on how we should be governed." There is no democracy under a sovereign currency, a sovereign state. End the banker wars. #EndGlobalApartheid
I could really get on board with this under one condition.....if it coincides with the end of government as we know it.....I do not and will never trust governments to be wise in such matters. If everyone is super-intelligent, there should be no need for them. The world will become a place I want my grandkids to grow up in, when it is free of coercion. Government is coercion, police are coercion, war is coercion.
47:24 yup. and you can add all religious people and wasted could-be science research centers (CHURCHES) to the list of guilty parties responsible. the list goes on.
Ray is a true genius yet remains with his feet firmly on the ground, what an inspiration.
It is important to listen to Ray Kurzweil often, at the very least, to keep up one's optimism.
Hahaha
yeemott W Because they’re less intelligent.
and he is usually and consistently......... right.
Most people have a hard time with those who are waaaaaay smarter than they are.
If you loose optimism, you just need to sleep it off ;)
