The Man Who Predicted AGI Decades Ago w/ Ray Kurzweil | EP

[@Matt-j5b]

Around 2010 I was a "normal person" living in ignorance. After a major life event and a major breakdown I dove straight into isolation. This man Ray gave me hope when hope seemed fruitless. I try to be careful to not turn an individual into a savior. However I will always have great respect for Ray, I appreciate the way he has utilized his intelligence to increase the quality of life for all. If I saw Ray in public I'm not sure I'd bother him, I would only be a distraction for him from his great work! To me that'd be a crime. So whatever happens in the future, Ray, thank you for opening my eyes and giving me back hope!

[@moderncontemplative]

[@vonlivebillionaire8674]

Great idea

[@classicCyber]

Regarding Universal Basic Income (UBI), it’s astonishing that even highly intelligent people can only envision maintaining the consumerist aspect of humanity, rather than imagining a fully satisfied life for future generations. I mean, it’s not enough to just have some money that cannot fulfill a person’s needs.

[@Rich-NH]

It’s not the number of jobs lost that presents the unsolvable problem; it’s the speed at which those jobs are going to disappear. Once companies have a solution that eliminates the need for most are all employees, they are not going to hesitate to use it, and they must use it to stay competitive. In the past, things changed more slowly, and we had enough time to adapt and evolve to new jobs. Going forward, we are not going to create new jobs overnight, and we are surely not going to create a ratio of one-to-one for jobs replacing those that are being lost. The speed will be staggering. This is not a speculative exercise. We’ve already seen the opening act with mass layoffs in technology. This was the first wave or precursor of what’s to come.

[@Yaan_Robotique]

Its awesome to see Ray look and sound so on form! Its literally as though he has finally started to reverse his ageing ;)

[@tatyanamamut3174]

No, guys, the reason why personal income increased from 1774 to today is because people went from growing their own food and householding to doing everything through the market. So non-market activities (growing food, making your own clothes, breeding your horses for transportation) turned into market transactions (buying food, buying clothes, buying cars). As we've moved toward more disposable goods, the need for transactions has increased, so the need for increased income to fuel our transactions increased. For example, in the 1980s, we'd buy a new phone every 5-10 years. Now we buy a new cell phone every 2 years, and the phones are more expensive.

[@shane5003]

Amongst the many problems I have with Ray’s decreasingly feeble logic is this. Income as a function of market participation and activity is being conflated with individual property ownership. Individual ownership of land and really even just agency and tangible value since that’s what he’s really trying to infer has increased has fluctuated - decreasing, increasing, and plateauing over this period. I’m not sure he’s going to reach escape velocity although if he does, will he be the Ray that made the synthesizer or the Ray that thinks that we actually have mRNA vaccines? What personality will persist? The who that Ray is, as with all of us, is something that changes over time. Will we get an idea locked neuronally mylenated Avatar or a neurogenesis of the genius ?

[@AliceinWonderlandzz]

Love Ray. You look younger every day. Your commitment to beating aging is inspiring. I think you need to revise your Singularity date down about a decade. We are arguably at AGI by 2025 and then the curve accelerates exponentially because AGI will design Exponentially self improving AI. Given free reign for self reprogramming an AGI with unlimited compute will achieve new levels of intelligence in a few years tops. The human adoption framework is the bottleneck and the societal adjustments necessary are the show stoppers. We literally have to restructure our social frameworks and wealth distribution frameworks to optimized for human wealth and satisfaction. A wealth sharing framework that allocates a minimum standard of living based on shared GDP of the economy and maintains wealth incentives for work and advancement that gives people purpose and satisfaction. It's truly a challenge for visionaries like you and Peter to lead us through - you are the founding fathers of a new society. Recognize and lead it.

[@mitchkahle314]

In the early 1980s, while I was attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Ray Kurzweil released his first commercial digital sampling keyboard, which, along with MIDI sequencing, allowed a single musician or composer to emulate the sound of virtually any band or ensemble, including a full big band or symphony orchestra (or pretty close, at least). The students and faculty at Berklee were stunned by the Kurzweil's sound quality and performance abilities, and many feared their imminent replacement by computers and digital instruments, and this came to pass very quickly. With artificial intelligence, and the power of mathematics and parallel computer processing (GPUs), music composition and production will soon be dominated by technology. See harken music for a new mathematical proof for 12-tone music.

Our technological advancement is more than we realise. It is a force of nature we are following just as much as we are walking on the ground due to gravity and although starting slower it has been with us since the first cave man used the first tool. You could almost see the desire to progress technologically as a drive experienced by our species as a whole. Our advancement from that first cave man didn't start there, it goes all the way back to the beginning. How could we have the complexity of the universe we see with no innovation? How could single cell life have become multicelular? We are dancing to the tune of the cosmos, not defining it. Read Mandelbrot's book on the Fractal Geometry of Nature and then take a look at the Holographic Principle which is picking up speed within acedemic circles. The funny part about this, is that I as an individual are also not seperate from it and am following patterns through obvservation of what I have seen. So, given I know this also means many more people are waking up to it also. So, if I'm right, we will see an exponential increase in the number of people saying the same thing, as ultimately, we are fractals.
