The Future Of Humanity 2045 (Ray Kurzweil)

discord.com/invite/dXkSYT8jea
Super Nova Conference Antwerp (Belgium) 2018
Kurzweil is one of the world's leading minds on artificial intelligence, technology and futurism. He is the author of five national best-selling books, including "The Singularity is Near" and "How to Create a Mind."
Raymond "Ray" Kurzweil is an American author, computer scientist, inventor and futurist. Aside from futurology, he is involved in fields such as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He has written books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism. Kurzweil is a public advocate for the futurist and transhumanist movements, and gives public talks to share his optimistic outlook on life extension technologies and the future of nanotechnology, robotics, and biotechnology.
Kurzweil admits that he cared little for his health until age 35, when he was found to suffer from a glucose intolerance, an early form of type II diabetes (a major risk factor for heart disease). Kurzweil then found a doctor (Terry Grossman, M.D.) who shares his non-conventional beliefs to develop an extreme regimen involving hundreds of pills, chemical intravenous treatments, red wine, and various other methods to attempt to live longer. Kurzweil was ingesting "250 supplements, eight to 10 glasses of alkaline water and 10 cups of green tea" every day and drinking several glasses of red wine a week in an effort to "reprogram" his biochemistry. Lately, he has cut down the number of supplement pills to 90.

@@chetubetcha8090 Well it is _a little_ outdated in that this talk happened before Covid. Kurzweil predicted in this talk that AI would be able to produce vaccines in days instead of years, and he was right - in 2020, AI was used to produce the Moderna vaccine. The system sifted through billions of potential treatments and found one with a 99% efficacy rate in just 2 days. It would've taken years of trial and error on real patients to do that without AI.

"Life expectancy was 19 a thousand years ago." Yes, because about half of people died in infancy. Those who made it to adulthood had a reasonable chance of living to old age. Emperor Augustus died at 76 and Pharaoh Ramses II lived to 90.

[@marble4533]

[@jamesgravil9162]

@@marble4533 True, there are exceptions in every age. Until the 1800s, life expectancy in Europe was around 30-40. Walk around any graveyard and you'll see plenty of tombstones from that period of people who lived into their 60s and 70s, and not all of them were well-off (although I suppose they were sufficiently affluent not to end up in a ditch.)

[@frojojo5717]

The same was true of hunter gatherers during prehistory. Low life expectancy is largely due to infant mortality.

Exceptions are not the rule. Both people were leaders of their respective civilizations and lived in the lap of luxury. It's easy to live to 76 when you aren't slaving away in a field or exchanging sword blows with an enemy soldier.

For example AI is fulfilling an inexpensive labor shortage. Even printed food may become mainstream before clothing. 3D printed clothing does exist there's just no demand for it because it doesn't fulfill a core need better than what we have.

As "non-biological intelligence" accelerates, what is the risk of the biological atrophying? Around 50 minutes into this the speaker compares the increased capacity we will supposedly have (our capacity or the machine's to which we're linked?) to the increased capacity that came with the evolution of the neocortex. The neocortex made us "smarter," in an intrinsic biological way, i.e., to be smarter our brains were working at it, doing something, developing capacity in themselves. Yes, sure, to get "smarter," our IT somewhat analogically "evolved," you might say (with a bit of help from Humanity) the "cloud" that exponentially increased their capacity. Like with like. Physical brains growing as brains, and technology also "growing" as technology. But when you insert technology into the biological, technology that feeds information to the biological with no effort by the biological required, then what is the biological doing? What is it learning? How is it developing? What is it finally producing, in terms of both sheer physical development and authentic human innovation? When our creations are finally creating us, do we ever create anything again? And if and when the Machine fails, do we ever know how to DO anything again? By the way, while "humanity" (all of it?) is luxuriating in this IT-AI-Shangri-La of realized virtuality, with food, housing, clothing, arts, everything apparently provided at the press of a button...who's manufacturing the buttons? The wires? The goop that fills the 3-D printers? Who's going down the mine shafts to get the raw materials? Who's planting and picking the cotton and flax and corn and wheat and brussels sprouts? Who's disposing of the waste and garbage? Even if a lot of this is somehow likewise "technologized," who's pushing the buttons that make the buttons, and who knows how to fix them--never mind "fix them," start from scratch, if the Machine fizzles out? In what way is humanity evolving when it no longer knows how to do anything independently of its "toys"? In a world where everybody can tell their "AI guide" to produce something better than a Da Vinci, will there ever be another Da Vinci? Someone might say, "Why do you need another human Da Vinci if your virtual brain can always outdo him anyway? Why not just enjoy your transcendent power now that you've evolved into the New Techno-Human? Why waste time on nostalgia for more primitive stages of evolution? We never pined, in the 1960s, for the good old days before there were cars, television or for that matter pennicilin." Ah, but that is simply to beg the question, indeed to expose wildly unexamined assumptions. What is my "virtual brain"? Clearly it's not MY brain but an artifact attached to my brain, it's NOT "my power," so on what basis can you call this an evolution at all? So the whole premise that I'm pining after some "earlier stage" of evolution is specious. Telling my AI guide to produce something better than a Da Vinci is no more a matter of 'my' transcendent capacity than it is to watch a football game on television and cheer wildly when "We won!" I wasn't on the playing field, I didn't actually win anything. I was a mere spectator. Does turning us all into life's spectators rather than genuine players "evolve" us into "couch potatoes" at a catastrophically existential level in comparison with which the traditional, chips-munching, channel-surfing couch potato will turn out to have been a paragon of human drive and initiative? And, of course it need hardly be said, the most blood-chilling note is struck even in the verbalization of a question like "Why do you need another human Da Vinci?" with its implicit assumption that...we don't. When authentic human greatness is rendered either impossible or, quite darkly, antagonist to the Machine, concepts like "evolution" may continue to mean something but not to us.

[@dotails]

Interesting perspective. I developed an idea, Preemptive Ethics, It would be unacceptable to allow for the chance that starvation to happen, so it is best to prepare assets for rainy days, for example storing enough food for every human that none would starve long enough to rebuild food sources. And keep humans educated and physically fit, enough to rebuild technology. This could be an interesting third example, keep humans locally rewarded for improoving their mental softweare including creativity. When cameras came out the demand for paintings went down, but creativity didn't. In fact it increased, there is a flow state that is only possible if teh try and try again loop is fast enough. After the first 2 months of using midjourney my creativity exponentially increased, It was like a fish that only grew to the size of the tank, I was holding myself back because it took so long to realize my creative sparks that I dismissed many of them before trying them. Humans will be exploring and creating a virtual space, as they explore the AI can sharpen us by what it adds to the world.

What about climate change and politics and the Gaza and Ukraine wars? This talk is incredibly short-sighted and dated, taking old information and playing around with it. In my opinion, it’s the duty of Kurzwell and others to use their intelligence to find solutions to these problems that are affecting most people who live here on our planet. For example, the climate crisis is bringing an energy crisis and there will be blackouts and not enough energy to power the supercomputers who do the hard work of operationalizing our smart phones and the wonderful technology Kurzwell talks about. He’s in a fantasy world that can’t happen here at this time with all the environmental, political, social, and economic problems we’re struggling with.

Shame on Ray for suggesting progress is unimpeded by existing industries stuck in the innovators dilemma. We’ve been watching EVs be a viable alternative to ICE cars since the 90s. We’ve been watching established auto manufactures kill it off since the 90s. Why would you suggest that the established health insurance industry, pharmaceutical industry, and medical industrial complex would allow technology to advance human health? We’ve already seen that Ray is wrong. The FDA banned most of what 23andME could do. The US banned stem cell research and we have movies about Pharma shutting down targeted peptide research. While Ray is no idiot, he clearly has ulterior motives to be so publicly wrong; whether those are conscious or not.

[@dotails]

Well, well... Aren't we a Ray of sunshine. While I have different predictions, and while I can't give a date because many things can delay the inevitables, I can confidently share the future is bright, and in so many ways we are already living in the future. We have EVs already though they make little pollution difference until fusion(new tech) is distributed for powering them. Health Insurance is a scam, and the health system is outdated, and yet humanity survived covid with it. I am part of a health study now meant to push the assumed limits of health and we are going around the systems and setting up our own supply chains to make health viable today.(Just finished cooking up this weeks meals) The USA did not ban stemcell research, just unethical research that kills people, thankfully we learned how to revert cells back to a pluripotent state so we are right on track for serious innovation.

Used car salesman with like, 15 PhD's.

He’s actually an accomplished inventor and very intelligent. He has written many good books, one I have read and like very much is “The Singularity is Near”. Have a read of it, you might change your mind about the b.s. accusation.

No 3d printing clothes in the mainstream it is 2024

[@dotails]

My predictions are based on needs, which will identify what vacuums need to be filled, but also help prioritize the order that they'll be filled. The demand for printed clothing it's very low, there are other demands that are very high and so that will be the priority of innovation. For example AI is fulfilling an inexpensive labor shortage. Even printed food may become mainstream before clothing. 3D printed clothing does exist there's just no demand for it because it doesn't fulfill a core need better than what we have.
