Did Kurzweil Upload his Brain, from anonymous
Did Kurzweil upload his brain and forget the password??!
I recently drilled down on a lot of his work and speeches.
He basically only ever says four or five things, for the entire past 1-2 decades.
Here are the top ten things Kurzzzweil needs to never say ever again, in his entire life.
-
"I am so smart, I made all these brilliant predictions."
-
"I may not have invented the Web. But I predicted it. And I did it back when no one else did or could. Only I was so smart. (See below.)"
-
"Everything increases exponentially in tech and only I was able to perceive this. My critics could not which is why they were so wrong and I was so right, so often. (See # 1.)"
-
"I invented a device that reads books to the blind. (Did I mention how smart I am and how much smarter I am then everyone else? Mainly because I understand the power of exponential growth in anything tech, and nobody else did, especially my critics who were horribly wrong while I was so brilliantly right.)"
5."Nanobots will eventually circulate inside our bodies, correcting all our ills."
-
"One day brain implants will allow us to extend our frontal cortex into the cloud allowing us to upload our brains, and we will be so much smarter. Especially me. I will still be smarter than everyone else."
-
"Did I mention I went to M.I.T., a few dozen times in this speech alone?"
-
"Nanobots."
-
"Exponential growth is awesome."
-
"…and it's usually why I am so right and my critics were always so wrong, and why I am so much smarter than them."
What an insufferable bore.
He is mostly and mainly a self marketing machine masquerading as an intellect. But the sad thing is, people fall for it. It works. Google fell for it.
I think some people here have, too.
Sad!
