Kurzweil is right, Singularity incoming

[Anonymous No.9101165]

I just proved that Kurzweil is right with his theory that the brain is just a shitload of pattern recognizers organized in complex layers.

I was driving in my car the other day and actually thought there is a old lady on the sidewalk but when I came closer I realized it is just a dumpster which looks like that from a certain point of view. I realized that my brain detects and identifies objects purely by comparing what I see with things I previously saw somewhere else and that it can fail to do so in spectacular ways. I can't stop thinking about what our brain actually is since I had this experience, we arent special, we are no smarter than today's computer's, we just use the power way more efficiently.
The thing is that I was 100% sure that it was an old lady and it reminded me of the neuronal nets confusing negros with gorialls and things like that.
What do you think /sci/, is Kurzweil the Einstein of our time? Are we going to be cyborgs soon? I hope so.

Yeah you/he is right about that, it happens to me loads of times. I really don't see what it all has to do with le singularity meme tho.

I was going to say the same. Indeed, that one was a really stupid comment.

Com'on. It is true that he didn't actually prooved what he claimed. But his ideas were indeed interesting. Maybe the brain has more features than just that one. But your comment didn't add to the discussion.

Let the social scientists do the job of talking shit to each other.

I hereby define the four levels of tribal conflict. First level is the Primate Level where the components literally throw shit at each other. Second level is the Normie Level, where the members just talk shit to each other without coming any close to conveying logical ideas. Third level is the Peer Level, where the constituents, in order to attack each other, simply write a paper on the subject in discusion, in which they want to show superiority, and upload to arXiv for peer review. And finally the fourth level of tribal conflict is Clay Level. In this level when two participants get into an argument, the winner is the one that solves an open Clay problem for the sole purpose of showing dominance, after the argument. He then has not only the right, but also the obligation to be masturbated by the loosing part.

By what standard? Or just typical self-hatred from a godless teenager with a mild personality disorder?

We aren't any more special than other animals. Just a little more complex. I am not an atheist and I validate his thoughts. You are just a burdened religious brat.

[Anonymous No.9101856]

>>9101849
His main point is just in cognitive aspects. What an annoying proselitism. He wasn't even on the religious subject. You are biased and easily triggered to talk about your beliefs
