Obviously a smart scientist but too dumb to know what a human being is.

Kurzweil is an idiot.
If anything he predicts ever comes true, it will be an accident.

Wouldn’t that make steroids rather moot, then?

I dunno, after reading DU and some of the moonbat blogs, I think an average PC is as smart as some people today ;-) Actually, a four-function calculator is smarter than quite a few...

Does he know the exact day and time in 2029 when this will happen? Seriously, Mr. Kurzweil is delusional on this subject. AI has advanced very little in the past 30 years, despite significant advances in computers. Look for computers to get ever faster, but only incrementally more “intelligent”.

Sure, on the day when Skynet becomes self-aware. A Terminator from the future will go back in time to save us, though.

I remember Ray making similar predictions in 1950... nuclear power would cost one penny a day... air cars would get us to work and back... weather control would make all picnics sunny... meals would be in the form of a single pill... and science would do away with those pesky ants, too.

Yes, but they still won’t have a human spirit.

Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029, That wasn't supposed to happen until the year 5555, Zager and Evans said so.

I remember reading in 1980 that by 1990 there would be artificial eye implants that would end blindness.

Believablity would sky rocket if he had said “around 2030 or so” rather than 2029.
Still wouldn’t believe it, but there would be less to make fun of.
