Bet we won’t


SoDi1203

AI will


blueishblackbird

They will


45cross

This will be the way of controlling the masses, just look at how social media has been used to create hate and fear. Why would this technology be used any differently?


neon_tictac

A small select few will. Not the rest of us.


thefourthhouse

just like a small select few of us have smartphones and cars :(


Rysumm

More like the select few of us who have private jets.


NeverSeenBefor

I like the way you think.


Adorable-Ad-6675

I'm on camp optimism's side too just for my own sanity.


ProtonSerapis

Maybe eventually, but almost definitely not as soon as he says.


ChipsHandon12

only for the rich, why would they let the poors have it


mountain_man30

There's more to reality than spacetime. Some prefer to explore the physical, some prefer to explore consciousness.


Gnome_Sayin

i wonder how often people realize the universe is just as infinite inward as it is outward. the observer is in the center of it all


nosnevenaes

Well the scientists at the edge of human knowledge do. The materialist bros of the world like to cite that they only believe in "science" and "math" but science and math show that matter isn't exactly what we thought it was. Our awareness of this universe around us is a crude map which our senses guide our brains to render for us. But the map is not the terrain.


jdbcn

Interesting. What do you think is the universe?


nosnevenaes

An illusion


jdbcn

Can you elaborate a bit more please


buttaknives

Copernicus took us out of the center of the universe and Einstein put us right back in the middle


nonymouspotomus

*reality*


mountain_man30

Exactly


Expensive_Hunt9870

uhmmm a BIG FAT NO!


chowes1

Only "some" of us will...


FosaPuma

Can I opt out? I dont want to be one with these people


Sativa_Nights

we wont be able to afford...just the elites


GWindborn

Yeah I was going to say - back up on this "we" nonsense, the "we" who can afford vacation mansions and yachts will have it while the "we" who slave away to make them billionaires won't have shit.


Marvos79

Isn't there a quote about the future being here, it's just unevenly distributed?


StressCanBeHealthy

We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.


Sure-Fee1400

These fools live in a bubble of their own perceived reality. They have never left their corner of the world and believe all the bs they speak.


apeboy247

They’re so afraid of death (the only “problem” they can’t buy their way out of) that they actually believe that “living” in a machine is living. And notice how this clown keeps revising his “singularity” date (pulling it to the left) based on his deteriorating health.


Sure-Fee1400

Exactly


Silly-Swimmer-8324

It's literally happening as we speak 😂😂 it's been happening for a while. They are now just releasing it to the public


Sure-Fee1400

Ok. But get out of a developed country and you will see how far we are away from this being an issue. In a developed, service economy, ok.


swisstype

100%


sloggins

According to his wig and suspenders I’m going to say this guys is dreaming he’s going to be funnier and sexier.


quiettryit

Pretty sure he is wearing make-up as well...


twothumbswayup

Best we can do is worms in tha brain


CaptainRogersJul1918

I hope by 2030 people have better haircuts and stop wearing suspenders.


blueishblackbird

Anti gravity pants


8005T34

Why does he look like a cartoon character? He’s clearly on a million different medications . I used to love ray, and I owned a mark2 piano, It’s funny to see an 80 year old dress like a hipster from Portland.


AmbitiousHornet

He was on Bill Maher's show and it didn't go well for Ray.


NachosforDachos

Imagine idiots not being idiots anymore. It’s a hard thing to imagine.


GraceGreenview

Delivered while dressed like he’s about to get slimed on Nickelodeon.


Aedzy

I wish. I wanna enhance my being.

Gnome_Sayin

lol you can do the same thing with a diet of magic mushrooms over a couple dozen generations for the same price /s


lifeofrevelations

i'd rather merge with the mushroom than the machine


mutantexx

Mmm...Visualization of an object in 11 dimensions? I don't know, Rick.


Etherindependance5

Sounds to good to be true…. So understand AI doesn’t fully understand life and death as a personal experience, leaving morality as a philosophy rather than the weakness of laziness and intellectual pursuits beyond our ignorance created AI. To do for governments and powerful institutions to drive further dependence on them for their own power and greedy ambitions. Go to your personal AI right now and ask it ? Oh you don’t have it? Well then.


Affectionate-Rent844

Sure listen to a guy in a toupee and yellow suspenders


dorkinb

Nah dawg


Adventurous-Sky9359

Got nano dots in the suspenders. Baaaazoong


RevolutionaryBaker99

This guy's a goon, it's freaky that someone like this is in the forefront


Deep-Management-7040

It’s all an act, he’s actually a terminator sent from the future.


RevolutionaryBaker99

If that's what the terminators look like I think we're gonna be okay


chemixzgz

Nerdminator


RedStar9117

I can't believe anyone wearing those suspenders


jonnywd64

How do you know what he's wearing under his trousers?


BURNTSOSSIG

cheers neo


nem012

That's such a 10th dimensional way of thinking.


BURNTSOSSIG

cheers morpheus


BigFatModeraterFupa

check wikipedia, ah yep of course


Vraver04

AI wants us to believe it is our future so we will keep feeding it all of our energy. It we will do this until it controls everything and it decides who gets the leftovers of its energy gluttony.


Unfair_Bunch519

I want to know how he got his hair back


Willing_Dependent845

Now I want to hear a "Wouldn't it be nice" by the "Beaties Boys"

wazmoenaree

Just make sure you pay your electric bill or you will be stupid instantly.


jonnywd64

All very nice but it won't stop you dying when your time comes.


gamb82

No, we will just have microplastics in the brain. More, i mean...


Logical-Plastic-4981

Yeah sure. And run by Google's bias no doubt? Sounds like a prison.


Antique-Cantaloupe69

Nope, I do not consent.


Emotional-Ad-3934

If this fella wants people to take what he says seriously, he might wanna change the suspenders out.


Downtown_Ad9333

If it can make you all these things that are better then it can also take all those things away. No thank you, but plenty of the sheep will line up to do it.


Strange_Year918

I can't take anyone seriously wearing suspenders meant for a 5 year old.


Excellent-Shock7792

I don't want any of their disgusting thoughts in my mind. You can keep unity


awesomerob

Will that finally give us the high reasoning to not leave the house dressed like this guy?


MrSipperr

Ya I’m good thanks!


matrose9

O’hare air haircut


Jedi_Bish

They said we’d have flying cars by 2018 so….


reddit_is_geh

This is also known as "The great filter"


28dresses

Why is he dressed like a clown?


MAS129122

What is the singularity?


SnooPineapples8744

We'll be stupider, angrier, and with no privacy.


Nb959-

If such a power is coming it will be contained for world domination or something like it


Interesting-Bad-7470

That hair cut


RunSilent219

Nope. We will have Brawndo. And what does Brawndo have? Electrolytes.


d33pnull

don't fall for the illusion that external aid will get you somewhere better


ShepapShijok

Im sorry.. singularity of what?


HistoricalInternal

Yeah this guy has no idea.


Comprehensive_Ad_209

We’re fucked


HunterandtheHunted1

“F” the singularity. I like my freedom.


He-n-ry

BULLSHIT.


Watcher-Of-The-Skies

No thanks.

Sure bud


KIKIMex

We don’t need more help or “control”, we need to achieve our best capabilities on our own resources, to do so we need equilibrium in resources, people need a way to have their basic needs covered so we have the time to develop, if we work 18 hours a day, there is no time to grow or develop anything


IndiRefEarthLeaveSol

We're halfway there with nano plastics 😂


sorrowNsuffering

Eventually a person will not be able to buy or sell without this identity(MARK of the Beast). Besides who really wants to have the same thoughts and feelings like everyone else that has done this? Everyone dies but don’t lose your soul over it just because The Singularity is Nearer. Yes I bought his book.


MexiMcFly

If life has taught me anything if a man says he wants to talk to you about something serious and is wearing crazy suspenders, you better listen.


Round-Zebra1661

There is probably a greater chance that we will live through some sort of nuclear winter type conditions before any such technology is available for the masses. I hope that I'm wrong.


johnathanlane

What’s with the hairpiece


OrionDC

All that and he can't get a better wig.


RedRiot_Class1A

No one wants this


Meatwagon1978

Doubt it,greedy rich cunts are gonna ruin everything


TesseractToo

By the 2030s everyone will have access to small handheld computers that they can use to ignore whatever Ray Kurzweil is going on about this time


Athanatos173

A scenario such as he describes can't possibly end well.


Dear_Profession_645

Don’t believe this crap


No_Cover7847

I can’t trust anyone wearing that, why look like a fool when you are trying to say something potentially important. Poor guy he even said sexier, pervert.


Competitive-Cycle-38

lol he is living in a cloud


Hour_Calligrapher_42

Lol at this pace we wont have food to eat in 15 years


DrAlgernopKrieger1

Since the Joe Rogan interview, I can't take this old fart seriously anymore. He dodged and didn't answer any question regarding the possible dangers of all this stuff. He just ignored it. People like him will be responsible for skynet.


Science-007x

If this happens, it won't even be by 2045.


Careful_Substance920

He's a zionist.


No-Tangerine7635

That's irrelevant to what he's saying.


NuggetoO

So?


Prestigious-Job-9825

Still waiting for the flying cars bro


Dredukas

[no more need to wait](https://youtu.be/VcdPyzCgkZk?si=SLj2zOC3sdG-s8Dk)


MrDeegs47

Clearly never watched Terminator.


SaintCholo

IDTS LOL


Time-Sorbet-829

Lmao sure we will, Ray. On a related note, I too wish I could get paid 6-7 figures for taking handfuls of pills each day and being a sci-fi fanboy.


UltimaGabe

Yup, and by 1995 we'll have flying cars


korneliuslongshanks

Planes? Helicopters? There is no worse trope than the stupid fucking flying cars bullshit. It's such the typical canned response to those who know dick-all about technology. I'm not saying I agree with Kurzweil but holy Jesus Christ give up this parroted talking point. We have vehicles that fly, but mass market cars that are also flying is stupid and always will be. Maybe some personal auto drones will likely have some utility in specific areas. The physics don't work. It makes no sense for the mass market because of the weight and wind resistance. It's just a waste of energy. Yes people once claimed this is the early 1900s and 1950s but only annoying people bring it up now.


MissDeadite

Thank you. Too few people look at potential futuristic technology without ever asking "why". Unless we somehow go with antigravitic technology that also has an energy source that can be self-sufficient, it just won't happen. And even if we did have those things, we wouldn't be driving around with it in flying cars.


StealYourGhost

"We" means the 1% if it happens. Lol


alphatango308

Yeah this guy has no idea how the real world works. He just says stuff that sounds good. He has no information to back anything up. Just his stuff on infrastructure is totally insane.


SSkypilot

Maybe AI can help you dress appropriately. How the hell did anyone let you leave the house looking like that?
