Kurzweil a technologistphilosopher says that a future point of unprecedented technological progress will occur as soon as 2023 ... a technological singularity Will this happen?

In: Technology [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, it will. 2023 is a bit early, the singularity itself should occur around 2045. humans tend to think of technological progress linearly. Until now, that has worked just fine, as we have been on the low end of the curve. But we are soon going to reach the second part of the curve, at which point technological progress will accelerate drastically. a word of warning: After this happens, purely biological humans will be able to have anything they want, save relevance. Computers will just be too smart. the philosophy of transhumanism basically amounts to: If you can't beat them, join them.
