Futurist Ray Kurzweil Pulls Out All the Stops (and Pills) to Live to Witness the Singularity

G a pretty wild article in Wired this week!

Futurist Ray Kurzweil “…argues that while artificial intelligence will render biological humans obsolete, it will not make human consciousness irrelevant. The first AIs will be created, he says, as add-ons to human intelligence, modeled on our actual brains and used to extend our human reach. AIs will help us see and hear better. They will give us better memories and help us fight disease. Eventually, AIs will allow us to conquer death itself. “
