Ray Kurzweil Featured on The News in 1989

[@arhgentumm]

This is how young he'll look 200 years from now.

[@abptlm123]

His voice sounds exactly the same as it does now!

[@Electronic424]

haha I noticed that too, he always does the lurch thing as well.

[@gucker07]

Actually, and unsurprisingly, it sounds younger.

[@LEFT11HAND11LEAD]

yeah was thinking the same

[@utubekullanicisi]

He sounds a little bit likew Ben Shapiro here

[@LeighChristie]

Cat dog pattern recognition problem solved.

[@roodborstkalf9664]

It took 25 years

[@CandidDate]

wow! Utopia is just a few years away!

[@lucioleepileptique9195]

Roodborst Kalf it took Nature the age of the universe to come this far. . Althought what She produced is of incompatable complexity for sure

[@roodborstkalf9664]

@ Frank Heuser : true: 25 years is nothing in comparison with 13 billion years.

we need more Ray Kurzweil for our civilization!

Uma Pemmaraju is now on Fox News, and still smoking hot despite being born in 1958.

[@squamish4244]

Before he became obsessed with mind-uploading. Probably because he was 40 here, not 70.

[@DarthSenorQueso]

If you read his books at the time, he was still pretty obsessed with it, just less so during interviews.

[@squamish4244]

Damn. Well, it probably wasn't weighing so heavily on his mind, because now it's the inevitable climax of most of his solo presentations. I wonder when the obsession started.

[@MASTERCHIEF2434]

@@squamish4244I think when his father passed away

[@squamish4244]

@@MASTERCHIEF2434Yeah. I got that from his documentary - it seems like the turning point of his life.

Dare I say realistically we haven't made any substantial progress since '89? Yes, a few inventions here and there, but as a species have we really improved?

[@MikeOceanMusic]

We're more in the early stages of what will change our species, although these inventions here and there that we've already had are a bit more extreme that you think... the internet for example is much more powerful than people give it credit for, and in terms of operations per second, the new Titan V graphics card (worth $3,000) is 55,000 times more powerful than the most powerful supercomputer in the world of the time of this video... so the numbers of operations per second a computer can do are now huge and catching up to the human brain, so going forward from here, if we continue this exponential trend for just another decade or so, things will start to get interesting and noticeable real fast, and work will start to be automated by AI at a speed and scale that'll dwarf the first industrial revolution... basically a doubling of several million calculations per second every 18 months isn't really that noticeable, but we're now in the trillions so this curve of progress is starting to get pretty damn steep and will become more and more noticeable.

[@CandidDate]

I guess when we get enough computing speed we will inevitably simulate our own baby Universes. What else is there to do with our time on Earth?

[@NiekKuijpers]

Hahaha what? The progress we've made these last 30 years are unlike something we have ever experienced before. How fucking dumb are you kid

[@lill1557]

Depends on your idea of progress

[@squamish4244]

We haven't really made inroads on the 'happiness' front. People are as miserable now as they were then. That would be the real breakthrough.

[@fringedweller9058]

Hmmm he didn't twitch his nose then like he does now

[@USAtoElsewhere]

Fringe....., probably from the aging process now. Luckily, aging rejuvenation is in the experimental and early stages of usage.

[@fringedweller9058]

Ahhh maybe nerves? Nahhhhh

[@squamish4244]

And his hair was real.

When she talked about ideas that sound like science fiction but that they now have (in 1989) I was thinking, "you ain't seen nothing yet."
