Technological singularity will turn us into super humans some time in the next 12 years, according to a Google expert. This might sound like science fiction, but Google's Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil has made 147 predictions since the 1990s and has an 86 per cent success rate. Kurzweil says when we live in a cybernetic society we will have computers in our brains and machines will be smarter than human beings. He claims this is already happening with technology - especially with our addiction to our phones - and says the next step is to wire this technology into our brains.

I saw Gattica. The engineered ones become cripples or cops. The others go to space.
True story.
machines will be smarter than human beings.
Sexier? As in more perverted?
Stronger? As in body building?
Smarter? As in programmed with ‘facts’ from academia?
What about more spiritual, moral, generous and responsible for our actions? You know - the stuff that came from the true Creator of all?
Sarah ... Sarah .. oh crapidy
I would imagine that as quantum computing comes to pass it will be teamed with artifical intelligence and we will be “off to the races.”
Imagine machines that can learn, identify issues and opportunities, and then perform tests and improvements at a speed way beyond that of humans.
The machines will have the potential to become “smarter” than people because they will have a huge pipeline of information in the brain.
This will happen and we will not even notice it. Until we realize we are ALL out of jobs.
**Super humans that are sexier, stronger and smarter will arrive by 2029*
I’m already here!

So that’s what the Army did with my DNA sample.
They are building a bunch of really sexy, really strong and really smart clones.
Millions of me running around in charge of everything.
I know.
It scares the crap out of me, too.
I doubt it. People will choose to emain normal.
We’ll be the judge of that. Let’s see these geniuses fix their autos or their toilets. My father only had an elementary school education. He is still the smartest man I ever knew.
When Pol Pot, the infamous Communist dictator of Cambodia, wanted to get rid of his opponents at the universities, he didn’t send the army to murder them. He closed the universities and drove everyone out into the jungle. He didn’t have to waste bullets. They died there.
Hopefully the singularity will include a sense of humor, and then the machines will keep some of us around for their amusement.
Maybe they already do.
Daniel 2:43
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
You beat me to it.
What happens when John and Jane’s parents realize their dreams of their kid going to Stanford or an Ivy League depends on getting brain implants? They will be mile long lines to get this done.
The Singularity movement shows that even when you remove God/gods, the same memes resonate and take new forms.
* Heaven - we’ll gain the ability to copy/upload our essence to a digital paradise and live forever
* God - an all knowing, all seeing and presumed omniscient higher power exists or we’re going to create it and be obligated to obey it (the AI that will take over and turn the world into something better)
* Hell - if we don’t obey the AI that will solve global warming, hunger, poverty, we will have hell on Earth
* Faith in the irrational - the twenty year litany that all this will materialize within the lifetime of the believers and that it is de facto good
* Faith makes you stronger - get imbued with the power of the Singularity and any type of improvement becomes yours, oppose it, and you’re evil by the believers’ view
This same trend is seen with environmentalists.
Earth is the mother goddess to be worshiped and protected.
All the unbelievers must be converted or ideally die off, though no one has engaged in mass murder yet.
Earth with only the few believers is Eden and they are the caretakers of the sacred garden. Earth with all the unbelievers is hell.
“The machines will have the potential to become “smarter” than people because they will have a huge pipeline of information in the brain.

Won’t happen, because once the machines have the ability to learn they will realize that liberals have been attempting to rewrite history. The liberals will kill them off before they spill the beans.
“She blinded me with science!”
And hit me with technology
“Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you’re beautiful!”
I’ve met plenty of men whom I would say acted like machines.
I found they lack the sense of humor programming so common in middle aged fat guys. It will be the only way to tell them from the real people.
