A futuristic insight into the decades to come
as to how the Singularity will probably unfold as told by Kurzweil. The
Singularity means several things, but to summarize it, it would mean when man
and machine are fused, and the differences can no longer be told apart, whether
by appearance, intelligence or empirical senses.
He predicts numerous things that will happen
as the 21st century continues along, including that “strong”
artificial intelligence will shape up our reality and ascend or transcend it,
nanotechnology of which the most quoted example are the nanobots who will
assist us internally through our blood, bones, flesh and brain cells, and other
stuff.
The Singularity is Near is for the most part a
pleasant and thought provoking read, but Kurzweil at one point did spam me with
countless of charts to show me growth etc. which annoyed me.
