Originally posted by Totse 2001 I can already see it. They're going to force us blue collars (and I've seen it happen in 2008) into tent cities.. we'll be like those people under highway overpasses. The problem is, many are just Families in transit looking to get help from welfare but plan on getting back on their feet.. they can't stop the asshole drunks and angry fuckers moving in and being around their children. they're lucky if they have a car to live in.
I mean San Francisco has to be the only city in the USA where someone employed and has a family has been forced to live in an RV and park it in Golden Gate Park or some other area. I mean at least on a large scale. we are the homeless capital of the USA> some are normal people in a bad situation while many are sick and sent here from Utah, getting sued by San Francisco (and a few other states) and then you got the stereo typical drunk and crazy fuckers walking around shirtless and chose to drop out of society. Educated Men and Women who could of been lawyers or medical workers dropping out to live on the edge and do heroin and meth. I mean they're not victims of drugs, they literally chose to drop out and get high because it's a rush to live like pact of dogs?
I'm not being a snob. I've been homeless but I tried to work, find a gym to workout and shower, try to eat what I could afford. I was forced into this. but now we all might be forced into this.. or 85% of the population forced into poverty. we will be house squatting and deadly fights will break out all over the place.
this isn't a John Carpenter dark fantasy.. this has become reality. Probably why Lucas sold ILM to Disney and said "Fuck this.. I'm moving to the secret island". I don't know if he really said that but I wouldn't be shocked if he has.
it would be some escape from la/they live bullshit, "they" say a lot of people are already micro-chipped (the mark of the beast) by nano nanu technology
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Expressions as in motioning body or face change. but they're caused by an inner chemistry change from happy to sad to whatever. but in AI how can that be achieved and what will set off that change. Everyone finds stimulus in happiness or sadness differently and sometimes an individual may have two sets of emotions from the same experience in the same day and or different periods of their lives such as feeling aroused and happy when seeing a girl or boy they like while sometime later they may no longer have those feelings all the time.
there are to many variables to just say "AI Robotics or Virtual AI has accomplished the same thing". it will just be random play and that's all. not the real thing.
What we call a soul will be dead. we will be animated instruments and thats all -

Take a human brain, and put it inside a robot. Done and done. -
2017-07-16 at 9:52 PM UTCthe singularity is near, we're living in a cybernetic universe under the guise of a simulation, a "simulacra" if you well. Please stand by.

This book forever changed my outlook on existence and human life.
After reading this, it only further confirms my belief that I am in some sort of matrix reality (not exactly like the movie, I use that word as a replacement for simulated reality because I disagree with the assertion that this Universe is a simulation).
If everyone read this book and took what it's about to heart then this planet would be such a better place, just strip out any of the liberal or globalist stuff and we'll be perfect.
People, stop what you're doing and READ THIS BOOK.
You will never feel the same again, you'll be a much more positive person …
I see there are a lot of people here addicted to hard drugs, that's rotting your brain you should stop immediately and wait for BCI tech to heal your brain because why waste your potential now, you'll be able to binge on drugs in VR in the near future.
I'm a transhumanist, but Kurzweil is a) retarded b) overrated 3) most of his predictions were inaccurate
and the book you suggested like it's some sort of futurist bible it's actually fucking dogshit, might I suggest you lurk moar about transhumanism before preaching it? -

You're
#1 - a moron
#2 - a cliche (ohhh Kurzweil is too popular for me now can't read him must stick only to obscure futurists!)
#3 - I have been into futurism since 2007
#4 - Even though most of his predictions are off the mark by a few years, they all either come true or appear in a similar but different form
You didn't even mention anything else worth reading, because you're a moron who just wants to appear hip and cool for shitting on Ray now that he's "mainstream".
People like you are pathetic -
2017-07-17 at 1:07 AM UTCIt's cute how the people of this forum are all so obviously ignorant about everything but you all act as though you're capable of even participating in a conversation like this.
If I weren't here you would all go on with your threads about snorting pcp, cheating on your girlfriends and being losers in general. -
2017-07-17 at 1:18 AM UTCI think the reason people tend to either disagree with Ray or dismiss him entirely is his unabashed enthusiasm.
Unlike some of the more tame "futurists" that will only go so far as to describe things like CRISPR and machine learning without touching on the more "esoteric" fields such as full-immersion virtual reality and mind-uploading have more public appeal to people who are unable to take their hats off and suspend their sense of disbelief.
Regardless, everything Ray describes is true and will happen within the next 30 years.
You should go read his book instead of wasting your time being a dick on the net. -

you need to kill yourself you piece of gay horseshit.
Also:
> #4 - Even though most of his predictions are off the mark by a few years, they all either come true or appear in a similar but different form
do you realize how retarded that statement sounds? you moronic retarded dipshit, it's not like he made all his predictions about the next century so that being just few years off the mark wouldn't really matter, lot of his predictions were about what it was supposed to happen 10 years after they were made and in that case 2 years off the mark would be an *huge* deal, but unfortunately for him and for you cuckweil's cocksuckers your memefuturist managed to fuck up even more than that. tell me, did you read "the age of intelligent machines"? iirc, in that book published in the early 90s he predicted that as soon as in the first half of 2000s universal translators would have been mainstream, smart bots would have replaced call centre workers and decision-support systems would have become an essential part of learning activities in the first world educational institutions. and i could actually go on and on and mention all his other futurist bullshits that even now, in 2017, are not mainstream yet. the truth is that you're most likely a fucking pleb who reads no more than 2 books per year, so anything that has some sort of "thought-provoking" content can easily make excited your atrophied intellect, but this has the downside that your abysmal lack of critical thinking skills makes you an easy target for this kind of "koolaid literature".
now stop lurking /r/futurism and die painfully -
2017-07-17 at 1:27 AM UTCAll of those things you just listed did exist in the 2000s, they were just in the early stages of development.
You still haven't listened any other futurist literature you think is superior to Ray Kurzweil's -

1) this is not what he said, though. he said that he expected all those things to be already fully operational and even mainstream in the early 2000s-2010s. guess what, it didn't happen.
2) by your fallacious logic, AI\computers existed since the early 1800s because charles babbage designed its analytical engine almost two centuries ago. see? ain't that easy, you brainlet subhuman.

if you're interested in AI, keep up with the latest development from deepmind, if you're interested in robotics, check out boston dynamics. lurk moar about brainmapping projects, dive into the academic literature instead of dogshit layman junk-literature for the normgroids and read books from household names like peter norvig etc.
ah, and if you think that mind-uploading is gonna happen in the next 30 years then you don't know jack shit about neuroscience as well. now please i beg you to kill yourself -

I have been following Deepmind since the first match against Lee Sedol was livestreamed.
"ah, and if you think that mind-uploading is gonna happen in the next 30 years then you don't know jack shit about neuroscience as well. now please i beg you to kill yourself"
It's going to happen sooner than 30 years.
