[The secular West’s double standards are glaringly evident from how they deal with “irrationality”. When this so-called irrationality is linked with religion it’s a problem. However, when it comes to things like “gender fluidity” it’s completely fine. Another example that can be mentioned is how the “clairvoyant” Edgar Cayce was extremely popular during the early 20th century. And it’s the same story when it comes to aliens. The secular West, unable to fight its innate tendency to believe in the ghayb, proposes the likely existence of a non-human species that could communicate with our world - the same way Muslims believe in the jinn Of course, all of this is done in the name of their own religion: science. They even have their own priests in the form of astrobiologists, etc. This belief of theirs is of the same nature as ours. Even if they try and add some pseudo-empiricist spice: there may be tangible elements pointing towards the existence of aliens.

I don't get why everyone is giving this guy a hard time. He is trying to drill expontentials into your head so you can start thinking in those terms, especially since everyone thinks AI is moving linearly. 5 years ago we had bare bones systems, but now we have models that exceed human performance in a lot of areas, do perfect image generation and even really good video gen with SORA.

Ray Kurzweil and his books are pretty legendary. He was the person who popularized the concept of the singularity to the mass public with his chilling explicit descriptions of what future technological milestones would look like and when they would occur which he wrote as if they were facts. He then single handedly defended his predictions throughout his life against the entire world community of critics and pessimists coming from all areas of science and the media. He is still standing today.
Ray liberally interprets obvious failures as successes. Anyone can throw out general claims and defend them, that isn't special. For example, he claimed in the '90s or early 2000s that by 2009 most kids would learn how to read from computers before going to school. He claimed that was an accurate prediction, despite it not even being in the same ballpark as true today. He claimed it was accurate based on a single paper that stated as much as 9% of kids entering kindergarten knew how to read. Note that: 1) 9% is not most 2) The paper did not say how they learned 3. There was no discussion on what trend may or may not exist Anyone claiming that was a successful prediction deserves truckloads of salt for other things they claim. When you dispense with his vague, obvious, or restated what someone else said or is doing "predictions" he has as abysmal of a record as any. And by obvious, I mean to experts. For example he "predicted" the fall of the USSR. However, that was a done deal for experts years before he said it - it was considered obvious and inevitable by the experts. Just because the common folk lacks the knowledge doesn't mean he is special for 'predicting' what the experts have already asserted is inevitable. Claiming in the 90s that computers will have cameras and replace the use of phones is another one. That was done on mainstream broadcast television in the 60s and predicted even back then. How about nanotech eliminating "most diseases" by the 2020s? So far not a single one has been. You're not going to exponentialize your way to that one in the next 5 years. I wouldn't call him a hack, though IMO "futurist" is largely a synonym for it. But he isn't actually good at objective, novel predictions on technology advancement, let alone social ones.
Truth. Taking his worldview will help you skate to where the puck will be. That he looks to be slowing down, or dresses funny, does not take away from his core insight that expands Moore’s Law backwards in time to an age before computers.

Guys, I'm an old fart and therefore know this guys story. He is hands down the most famous futurist, and for being right.... Bill gates called him the best predicter of future tech he knew. I do not personally have an opinion about this current conversation. I also, can't tell if he is speaking broadly or not. Or if he is speaking functionally possible vs actually implemented. What I want to say is, his background is incredible. He invented some very impressive tech back in the day before becoming famous as a futurist. If you are into this kind of information, it is worth your time to do a deep dive on Ray Kurzweil. I will say, his age is showing and that is painful to see. I've been with tech every step of the way. These last couple yrs have been the most dramatic, and that makes sense in the context of exponential growth. Its the later steps that see the biggest jumps. I do not rule out what he is saying in terms of technically possible, but sadly, I do not see humans functionally implementing it that quickly.
I know Ray, read "the singularity is near" book like 15 years ago, almost 100% of his predictions fell flat on their face. Then he wrote another book about how right he was and just moved the goal posts for all his predictions. Bill Gates praised him? you mean the college drop-out who buys out governing bodies and then makes his money off forced medical treatments? cool story
Yes, he really has an incredible career and life-of-work and he has been spot on on predictions as well. He is old, and having a tired day here, but judging from the comments here I feel people have no idea who he is. If they knew who he is, the comments wouldnt be like this. Sorry for Ray!
Yes, unfortunately most of Joe Rogan's audience are m0r0ns... Kurzweil is getting up there in years. He was a lot sharper at explaining this stuff 10 or 20 years ago. He's been accurately predicting the growth of computing power for like 50 years now.
What is freaky about AI intelligence… The exponential growth. Start may seem slow, but learning rate isn't linear. Look back one year, two years, three years… Now make predictions for next year or two. It's going to be a wild ride.
Precisely....and anyone who has had a kid has observed this in humans....they sometimes take a LONG time for their first word...and then 2 months later they are talking... Same with reading...I have a cousin who was slow to read....was concerning...but then she reached a threshold and just suddenly was reading everything like an adult
Exactly my friend! A bunch of idiot savant bashing a true gentle Genius, Ray easily is still in the top 20 minds on the Planet right now. How disrespectful Joe has become.e, Joe is straight up a Dunce, he thinks his talking points are intelligence....what a dink.......what this chat shows specifically is that America is in great trouble when the vast majority actually think Joe is more intelligent and on point than Kurzweil.....I mean did they forget about Ramona? Tons of companies usurped Ray's work over the years, he alone basically invented AI with that project alone.
I read two of his books, dude is a self aggrandizing hack who moves the goalposts continually to make his predictions 'correct' and then has the gall to brag about it, an intellectual for nit-wits.

He's just wrong about solar panels. Yes, panels have improved in efficiency but that doesn't mean you are significantly improving the efficiency per square inch. And batteries are not exponentially better.
@@ryantogo8359 As an electrical engineer who has worked in and done research in that field, I must say you are wrong. But it’s pretty deeply technical and outside the understanding of 95% of people. Efficiencies started at about 6% when I started in this field and we’ve come a long way however.

We still do not have light processing at the level we need for true AI. Not just novel machine learning tasks we call AI. Processing still needs to be much better. 2029 is still too early for that. I would be surprised if true light processing was halfway there by 2029.
How can you not take this man seriously? Just look at the wig and the suspenders. He's a serious person. My respect for him grew exponentially while watching this.
I read his books, "The Age of Intelligent Machines" and "The Age of Spiritual Machines," around 2003. He predicted everything that's going on with AI so precisely. Kurzweil is the best.
And the use of energy is going up a lot year by year now due to crypto mining and A.I. training as the training of them uses a lot of energy and is only going up.
I read his book "The Singularity Is Near" in 2004. He has stayed remarkably consistent in his big predictions. Which conveniently are still years out. But he doesn't always see the gap between "there is tech for this" and "there is demand for this." And yes, he applies exponential growth to everything, even places it doesn't apply. Case in point: he says life expectancy is on an exponential growth curve. And average can look like that if you squint, but *maximum* lifespan has remained consistently ~120.
Indeed, he does *now* consistently say these things are "a decade' or "decades" out. Because despite what the comment section here believes, his actual accuracy is in the gutter.
Do people not realize how serious this is? This should be the CENTRAL election issue! How workers are going to survive as AI takes most jobs businesses were once willing to pay humans for, needs to be prepared for ASAP! Our labor based economy will not continue to work! The average worker should not starve, just because AI will soon do most work.
Rays entire philosophy stems from a deep rooted fear of death. All of his estimations have always been for it to happen right before he reaches the life expectancy. The singularity has a major issue in that it does not account for diminishing returns, nor does it account for sentient AI just not willing to be enslaved.
If you read his book he answers all of that. Diminishing returns do not exist with technology because technology innovations compound between each other. We use old technology to build better technology and we then use better technology to build even more amazing things. This is what leads to exponential growth.
@@DantesHQThats most people's problem in the comments, they don't read his book or anything about him, they go off this podcast appearance and make assumptions.
Some humans will merge with AI. They are already being raised by parents with a secret. The secret is some children have been genetically enhanced. They have been doing it for years.
Kurzweil's whole schtick is unjustified long-term extrapolation of exponential curves. Turn his exponentials into (more realistic) s-curves and the end scenario looks a lot different. We could well find that out soon when solar plateaus, when GPT 5 proves an incremental advance.
there is no s-curve, no 'schtick'. no matter the window of time viewed, technology advancement has always been exponential disliking how this is constantly proven correct does not make it less so
he's conflating the growth in computational power with "AI" (chatbot) programs. LLM's will plateau and we'll need a paradigm shift to make big strides; it is not linear, it's stop-go for "AI"
Nope you are just straight up wrong. As we scale deep learning more and more emergent properties seem to emerge out of the systems. Claude 3 for example just passed the needle in the haystack and display high levels of situational awareness. This all happened because we optimized and scaled. There could be a few things that we are missing, but so far it seems like we wont be needing those things.
@@DantesHQ No, they do plateau. You're talking about the training data / model which isn't really what they're talking about. Think about the the number of layers in a network. For example, Resnet-50 vs Resnet-101 vs ResNet-152. The improvement among adding the layers is not exponential to the number of extra layers, and it will plateau eventually (i.e., error % is typically not much different from Resnet-101 vs Resnet-152 compared to the difference between Resent-50 and Resent-101 which is larger). Computational power helps a lot, but that's not all it is. They need to design better architectures.
Solar panels have an upper bound for effeciency at around 45%, but thats not a bottleneck, you can simply produce panels. They have increased dramatically from what existed in the 90's however.
Is _exponential growth_ a formula? Or is he just saying that things are going to get bigger and better because they have already been on the trajectory of getting bigger and better?
absolutely agree that with the advent of A.I., quantum computing and the rest of technology we might have all of these options available, but weather they will be implemented is entirely different question to answer.
My car charges fully with the excess solar energy I don’t use for my house. And my solar system is small. The technology is a lot better than people realize.
He's right.. most AI experts have been readjusting their estimates of AGI to ever-earlier dates over the decades. Kurzweil has stuck to 2029 all this time. He's also gotten 80+ % of hist past predictions right.
@@FailBucketFilms he won't. You see that 86% is Ray's own assessment, which includes obvious failures such as "most children will learn to read via computer before school by 2009" - which clearly is a strike out. He largely makes general assertions that are not novel, vague, and usually obvious to the experts. For example he claimed in the 90s that computers would eventually replace phones for communication - something that was predicted in the 60s. Ray basically follows the school of thought that says "make a shit-ton of predictions, people will forget the failures and marvel at the few successes" - which this comment section is demonstrating to be true.
Name one AI expert that has actually contributed to the field that gave an AGI estimate you are referring to. Also, he can't be right even if he is right; he doesn't have enough understanding of the field to make reasonable claims. As shown in the interview.
Joe: Asks a question

A lot of you guys don't know how important Ray Kurzweil is and it shows.
Important how? To whom?
Rogan has a lot of ignorant followers and it shows, you can see the contrast over on fridmans interview
I've seen transcendent man. The guy is a bit of a lunatic.
@@brushstroke3733He's important to Larry Page... and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, need anymore?

Guys, I'm an old fart and therefore know this guys story. He is hands down the most famous futurist, and for being right.... Bill gates called him the best predicter of future tech he knew. I do not personally have an opinion about this current conversation. I also, can't tell if he is speaking broadly or not. Or if he is speaking functionally possible vs actually implemented. What I want to say is, his background is incredible. He invented some very impressive tech back in the day before becoming famous as a futurist. If you are into this kind of information, it is worth your time to do a deep dive on Ray Kurzweil. I will say, his age is showing and that is painful to see. I've been with tech every step of the way. These last couple yrs have been the most dramatic, and that makes sense in the context of exponential growth. Its the later steps that see the biggest jumps. I do not rule out what he is saying in terms of technically possible, but sadly, I do not see humans functionally implementing it that quickly.
💯 this chat full of idiot Joe worshipers, Ray's mind still is in the top 20 of everyone on the Planet, he literally invented AI with "Ramona"
I hear you. This comment section is sad and says a lot about where Rogan's audience is these days... painfully dumb.
Good analysis, but Ray has clearly lost touch with feasibility. Just his argument about the grid was so far off, it was exponential
Yep. One of the most prolific inventors ever. People don't really know who this dude is.
I know Ray, read "the singularity is near" book like 15 years ago, almost 100% of his predictions fell flat on their face. Then he wrote another book about how right he was and just moved the goal posts for all his predictions. Bill Gates praised him? you mean the college drop-out who buys out governing bodies and then makes his money off forced medical treatments? cool story
I'm still waiting for the hoover boards from back to the future.
Ray is still working on his flux capacitor made from kitchen parts
Do you mean hover? Or like a Hoover vacuum you can ride?
Antigravity tech is still strictly area 51
People who say AI will never replace humans are in the first stage of grief = *Denial*
The AI needs us more than we need it
Depends what you mean by replace
I listened to the whole episode. The asymmetry between this man's understanding of tech vs his understanding of humanity is dangerously immense!
The perfect example of "we will invent it in somebody else will figure out how to handle it"
Ray Kurzweil is a legend. Most of you guys are the crazy ones...
Yes, he really has an incredible career and life-of-work and he has been spot on on predictions as well. He is old, and having a tired day here, but judging from the comments here I feel people have no idea who he is. If they knew who he is, the comments wouldnt be like this. Sorry for Ray!
Yes, unfortunately most of Joe Rogan's audience are m0r0ns... Kurzweil is getting up there in years. He was a lot sharper at explaining this stuff 10 or 20 years ago. He's been accurately predicting the growth of computing power for like 50 years now.
Yes
Well yeah, 90% of the comments on any youtube page are full of stupidity.
Ray is bat shit crazy. He wants to revive his dead father with AI. These futurists have some serious personal issues...
What is freaky about AI intelligence… The exponential growth. Start may seem slow, but learning rate isn't linear. Look back one year, two years, three years… Now make predictions for next year or two. It's going to be a wild ride.
Precisely....and anyone who has had a kid has observed this in humans....they sometimes take a LONG time for their first word...and then 2 months later they are talking...
Same with reading...I have a cousin who was slow to read....was concerning...but then she reached a threshold and just suddenly was reading everything like an adult
The learning rate is a constant mate. It is linear by definition.
Dynamic learning rates aren't really mainstream yet.
Or do you mean loss?
AI will be so smart in the next decade that people will begin worshipping one like a God
Yep.somepeople are already at that point now with their phone!
In terms of usage yeah. The guy with the comment about the phone is right. Technically some people are already there with their phone.
Ai will make us gods
As a computer scientist, I would cringe so hard
I get the interview is a little sleepy but do people here really not know who Kurzweil is?
Exactly my friend! A bunch of idiot savant bashing a true gentle Genius, Ray easily is still in the top 20 minds on the Planet right now. How disrespectful Joe has become.e, Joe is straight up a Dunce, he thinks his talking points are intelligence....what a dink.......what this chat shows specifically is that America is in great trouble when the vast majority actually think Joe is more intelligent and on point than Kurzweil.....I mean did they forget about Ramona? Tons of companies usurped Ray's work over the years, he alone basically invented AI with that project alone.
I read two of his books, dude is a self aggrandizing hack who moves the goalposts continually to make his predictions 'correct' and then has the gall to brag about it, an intellectual for nit-wits.
right! crazy. "he developed the Kurzweil Reading Machine-the first machine that could read printed and typed documents aloud." and that's just one thing.
No. No, they don't.
Judging from this comment section, man, I think most have absolutely no idea who he is and how legendary of a career he has had.

He's just wrong about solar panels. Yes, panels have improved in efficiency but that doesn't mean you are significantly improving the efficiency per square inch. And batteries are not exponentially better.
The efficiency of solar panels hits some pretty hard limits based on the materials used to make semiconductors.
Nope you're totally wrong. Because muh exponential growth
@@ryantogo8359 As an electrical engineer who has worked in and done research in that field, I must say you are wrong. But it’s pretty deeply technical and outside the understanding of 95% of people. Efficiencies started at about 6% when I started in this field and we’ve come a long way however.

@@ghost9-9ghost worse, if he is still on it, he was on a "less than 10% dietary fat" diet he allegedly came up with. That is about a third of what the few scientific papers to address neuroprotective intake uses.
@IAmTheRealBill I very much agree....low fat diets are a terrible idea....despite that both keto and carnivore diets are based on pseudo science and the lies of zealots, one of the few things they have as benefit are fat content.....and putting niche studies aside, fat is simply required....structurally and functionally .. for human biology
Yeah it's sad...I don't know much about kurzweil....but.....whatever he may have been in the past is gone...
99.7% over 35 years is not exponential growth, that's less than doubling.
We still do not have light processing at the level we need for true AI. Not just novel machine learning tasks we call AI. Processing still needs to be much better. 2029 is still too early for that. I would be surprised if true light processing was halfway there by 2029.
Joe wantes to call BULL SH#T but he's too nice
He’s so nice.
He matches the energy of who he talks to, generally.
Kurzweil is so soft spoken nowadays Joe just wants to get him talking at all.
Yup, he believes Elon over Ray, as he should. Ray is talking out of his ass right now.
Like he knows shit about technology lmao

Agreed
I think his geomagnetic poles are in the middle of shifting...
He is
I read his books, "The Age of Intelligent Machines" and "The Age of Spiritual Machines," around 2003. He predicted everything that's going on with AI so precisely. Kurzweil is the best.
"100% Renewable energy in 10 years" That's not even possible theoretically
lol you're not accounting for the exponential growth though
Ya not gonna happen.
And the use of energy is going up a lot year by year now due to crypto mining and A.I. training as the training of them uses a lot of energy and is only going up.

We need to change the name to SI simulated intelligence, lets not be too hasty to put this stuff on a pedestal.
Or just use language model.
@@IAmTheRealBill Can't be language model because not all models are language-based (e.g., CNN).
How about: Curve optimization
Why even say intelligence? That's where people go wrong.
I read his book "The Singularity Is Near" in 2004. He has stayed remarkably consistent in his big predictions. Which conveniently are still years out.
But he doesn't always see the gap between "there is tech for this" and "there is demand for this."
And yes, he applies exponential growth to everything, even places it doesn't apply. Case in point: he says life expectancy is on an exponential growth curve. And average can look like that if you squint, but *maximum* lifespan has remained consistently ~120.
He is confirmation bias personified
Indeed, he does *now* consistently say these things are "a decade' or "decades" out. Because despite what the comment section here believes, his actual accuracy is in the gutter.
Just in time for the predicted 2030 reset... 😅
You see it for what it is. Nothing is “by accident” or “random”.
Do people not realize how serious this is?
This should be the CENTRAL election issue! How workers are going to survive as AI takes most jobs businesses were once willing to pay humans for, needs to be prepared for ASAP!
Our labor based economy will not continue to work! The average worker should not starve, just because AI will soon do most work.
UBI
🤣. You're very presumptive that anytimg will be resembling order in 2 years
Nice parody.
@@IAmTheRealBill Ignorance is bliss.
Labor based economy is failing without AI.
He’s not actually answering Joe Rogan’s questions. He’s just repeating himself over and over again in “10 years.”
He's a typical self absorbed lib from academia. They're ALL like that
Rays entire philosophy stems from a deep rooted fear of death. All of his estimations have always been for it to happen right before he reaches the life expectancy. The singularity has a major issue in that it does not account for diminishing returns, nor does it account for sentient AI just not willing to be enslaved.
If you read his book he answers all of that. Diminishing returns do not exist with technology because technology innovations compound between each other. We use old technology to build better technology and we then use better technology to build even more amazing things. This is what leads to exponential growth.
@@DantesHQah yes the exponential growth, I forgot to take that into account
@@DantesHQThats most people's problem in the comments, they don't read his book or anything about him, they go off this podcast appearance and make assumptions.
@@DantesHQ Diminishing returns exist accross the board even tech just manufacturing chips is a huge problem.

Well he's wrong.
Ya I agree. .I think..lol
why is he wrong? How do you know that you are not wrong?
In my expert opinion I concur!
Sounds like you have not been keeping up
Maybe he means AI is getting dumber every year. If that’s the case, he would be right.
Expectation: AI gets smarter
Reality: Human gets *dumber*
Some humans will merge with AI. They are already being raised by parents with a secret. The secret is some children have been genetically enhanced. They have been doing it for years.
Kurzweil's whole schtick is unjustified long-term extrapolation of exponential curves. Turn his exponentials into (more realistic) s-curves and the end scenario looks a lot different. We could well find that out soon when solar plateaus, when GPT 5 proves an incremental advance.
there is no s-curve, no 'schtick'.
no matter the window of time viewed, technology advancement has always been exponential
disliking how this is constantly proven correct does not make it less so
It will happen in (insert random number) years. Trust me.
he's conflating the growth in computational power with "AI" (chatbot) programs. LLM's will plateau and we'll need a paradigm shift to make big strides; it is not linear, it's stop-go for "AI"
No
cars are literally driving themselves cuh
might be the case, but LLMs can be made better, faster etc all those nice things before we need something 'new'
Nope you are just straight up wrong. As we scale deep learning more and more emergent properties seem to emerge out of the systems. Claude 3 for example just passed the needle in the haystack and display high levels of situational awareness. This all happened because we optimized and scaled. There could be a few things that we are missing, but so far it seems like we wont be needing those things.
@@DantesHQ No, they do plateau. You're talking about the training data / model which isn't really what they're talking about. Think about the the number of layers in a network. For example, Resnet-50 vs Resnet-101 vs ResNet-152.
The improvement among adding the layers is not exponential to the number of extra layers, and it will plateau eventually (i.e., error % is typically not much different from Resnet-101 vs Resnet-152 compared to the difference between Resent-50 and Resent-101 which is larger).
Computational power helps a lot, but that's not all it is. They need to design better architectures.

2029 kind of an odd exact number
He's right.. most AI experts have been readjusting their estimates of AGI to ever-earlier dates over the decades. Kurzweil has stuck to 2029 all this time. He's also gotten 80+ % of hist past predictions right.
Please provide his predictions (successful or otherwise)
@@FailBucketFilms he won't. You see that 86% is Ray's own assessment, which includes obvious failures such as "most children will learn to read via computer before school by 2009" - which clearly is a strike out. He largely makes general assertions that are not novel, vague, and usually obvious to the experts. For example he claimed in the 90s that computers would eventually replace phones for communication - something that was predicted in the 60s.
Ray basically follows the school of thought that says "make a shit-ton of predictions, people will forget the failures and marvel at the few successes" - which this comment section is demonstrating to be true.
Name one AI expert that has actually contributed to the field that gave an AGI estimate you are referring to.
Also, he can't be right even if he is right; he doesn't have enough understanding of the field to make reasonable claims. As shown in the interview.
