I have been so lucky to live close to MIT. I am just a truck driver but I have been able to follow so many smart and interesting professors with all the free lectures they have all the time. Most guys I work with head to the bar after work and have no clue on what's coming. I personally can't wait and want to upload now!
You were never "just a truck driver" if you've had that interest in learning and growing. Kudos
You want to upload 😂 what a loser
Microsoft is working on a digital assistant on a laptop probably about three years away before it's really impressive they've been very slow but now own half of open AI.... I hope Microsoft is not going to be evil because what they've done in the past is pretty disgusting, I remember the Windows 8 disaster
That is amazing Man:)! I wish I could’ve had the chance to meet Ray but I unfortunately never did. I am buying his book and he looks very young atm which is amazing😎.
Ray didn’t bring this up here but I hope by before the singularity or before AGI, I extremely hope before and close this will come, physical health disorders/mental health disorders will be solved and understood more.
Science is amazing and I hope the best for everyone struggling mentally or physically and I do hope we solve these issues’ soon and create newer, safer and more effective treatments for physical/mental health issues . I wish I would’ve been in your spot where I can listen to MIT lectures for free. That is awesome and hopefully in the future I can also get the chance to drive to Boston and sit in a lecture. Tickets must be expensive though lol😅
Don’t ever say “just a truck driver”
Ray is looking very good lately. I hope he is able to stay in good health and extend his productive life!
I hope he lives long enough to see agi.
I can't wait to see what his post human avatar looks like (an anime cat girl 🤞)
He’s getting younger. And intentionally so.
@@coulterjb22 Yes you can see he looks younger. If you look at his older videos there is definitely improvement. It would be nice to know what he has been doing.
The age of spiritual machines changed my whole outlook on the future. I wrote a song with Ray in mind called "Internet Party 2002" here on CZcams, or Spotify, on my collaborator's channel (Innocent Outlaw) 😄
I was living in the SF Bay Area in 2011 and listening to a radio show on the way to work. They offered 2 free tickets to the Singularity Conference in San Francisco. I never call in to on air contests, but I thought why not? I called and won the tickets. I spent two days at the conference and Ray was one of the main speakers. I bought some of his books. Very interesting guy!
Dear American friends and brothers!
I would like to convey this idea to you.
If any of the people reading have the ability to influence technological development, communicate with people like Elon Musk and others, then please delve into it.
How long can you go to exhibitions and show off robotic dogs? AI's place is in space!
Let's launch rockets to Mars and the Moon, populate them with humanoid and other robots with enormous autonomy to build city boundaries, technical solutions, modules for us, future space explorers!
Best regards, Ed from Russia.

You were probably the only one to call in.
@@livelife5947 Ha! Probably. It was a conservative station and maybe not as many futurists listening. I think it was like a $1,100 value.
Ray got some fashion advice from Ben Goertzel.
LOL now that is funny!
😂🎉
Or perhaps with inspiration from Emma Watson 🇨🇵
You, too, are wondering how Ray became disguised as a romantic French painter? 😉Here's what Ray asked: “Hey, ChatGPT, find me a style to show that I'm not only a tech man but also a creative person who loves arts”.
Blippi
I’ve always been impressed by Ray’s clarity of thought and his optimism. We need Ray to help us navigate this time when human alignment with AI is critical. Ray’s a nice humble person.. he took time to communicate with me directly once, and I was thrilled by that interaction.
Ray Kurzeweel is a transhumanist train wreck with selective vision. Evidently he's unaware of the explosion in homeless camp all over the West Coast. Or maybe he just thinks that having a cell phone connected to the internet constitutes paradise.
This man opened my world views ever since transcendent man
why lol?? @@BadWithNames123
I've following Ray since the early 2000's after the reading "Age of Spiritual Machines". It's great to see Ray doing so well and seeing so many of his predictions come true over the last 2 decades!
Me too. It is all playing out.
None have come true
@@tekkertruth1256 ok guy. Most have come true and the other predictions soon will. It is so obvious that computer tech is growing exponentially at this point. Your own homepage has reposts of AI articles and singularity predictions. Troll somewhere else.
@@seanrobinson6407 I believe he has an 85% success rate.
The time period in between we have replicators on the Sahara desert collect huge amounts of solar energy, and we put a replicator around the sun to replicate all around to get 1 billion times the energy of the Earth right now is only like few years or months.

Thank you for this. !!
Thanks!
Ray is looking fantastic here, happy to see him looking so well
He’s thumb shakes, his hair has turned gray/white again, after multiple years of seemingly reverse aging! The visual is obvious, i so wish it would be asked a lot more about his personal reverse aging experience.
I hope he's doing well in terms of health. I can't tell from a video since the resolution isn't that high and of course there are things like lighting and filters to consider. He is still articulate and able to answer questions, so that's a good sign. But 74 isn't really that old if you are well-off.
@@jayander7705 Yeah, people actually believe it's possible to reverse or stop aging. If there's ever evidence for the contrary it's Kurzweil. People dying is absolutely necessary, if every one has the ability to live "forever", we'll be in big trouble.
In my opinion, Ray Kurzweil stands as the most knowledgeable human intellect on this planet. I sincerely hope his projection of achieving age reversal by the year 2029 materializes as scheduled, for we greatly rely on individuals like him to persist and contribute to the world indefinitely.
Stop eating less food every month to avoid aging 😮
Intermittent fasting is fione for a temporary fix. I am all about stopping and reversing aging though, not simply avoiding it. @@pdcdesign9632
Good to see Ray Kurweil.
His Law of Accelerating Returns has been an important part of my way of thinking about our technological future. Faster faster faster...
Jeah. Well. So we see a technological revolution. But i Don know where to start to claryfy all the uncertain and plot holes of his predictions. In a way he's rather a sience fiction author butbabsientist. No I have to correct this. He's no scientist period.
He misses in all his predictions biophysical laws of our society. So even if we now encounter a period of exponential growth. In nature nothing growth for ever. Never! So it might or might not devellop to an agi. His money VS computing power exponential growth isn't a physical law either. But the exponential growth of our physical economy fuled it.
Based on the exponential growing use of increadible amounts of fossile fule.
Which in time is running out. If it does you will see cascading price hocks destroying our economy. And the last chip creating company might turn of lights.
Fusion won't save us here. Because the planet is heavyly in overshoot.
You should all take Kurzweil at what he realy is. A great friendly wishful entertainer. Looking on the world through a very smal pinhole ignoring all geo bio and also physic sciences.
The most important problem facing humanity is Climate Change and AI must solve this impending catastrophe.
I love how we walked through the exponential growth of computing chart and how his work predated Moores law by decades. Thanks for sharing the great content Peter!
Thank you very much Peter for sharing this video ...
Lose the hat
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Huge fan, been listening to you for the past 15 years, and to me it was always such a huge pleasure listening to you. I was always enthralled with all this imaginative understanding of the future that is here now. That was just so amazing. Thank you for being here and thank you for existing amongst us. Hopefully you will reach, the point where we gain one year for every year that we live and eventually you will live forever much appreciation, Claudio A.G.Monteiro Filho, we love you Ray!
Bom dia!
Hope Ray and all of us get to experience the singularity in a positive way
Me too
kurzweil was/is a huge inspiration to me !!
It's not him, it is all those utopian fantasies about how the world, very soon will turn into a literal paradise, that sounds so amazing and satisfying that you see him as an inspiration.
People fell away from faith in God and need to fill the void of hope with something else and people like Kurzweil are them exactly.
This is sad but true.
@@nikokapanen82 Can't agree with you, this is not about faith
@Ecthelion3918
Ray is brainwashing you to openly accept AI as your god and ruler. Humans have power that AI will want. By force if needed. Please wake up.
Salute to Ray, for his vision and passion.
🎉❤😊Thank you very much, Peter, for posting your fascinating and illuminating discussion with Ray.
I really appreciate Ray's intellectual experience because he reveals so many layers to the powers of AI.
Thank you very much, Ray, for sharing your knowledge of AI technologies. 🎉❤😊
Wow so impressed by Ray. His answers are short, precise and answer satisfactorily
Ray speaking and looking healthy, good wishes.
Love the positivity! Can't wait for Ray's next book 😊
Ray looks great, much healthier looking than in recent times.
I like the French painter 🎨 look!
Yeah, he seemed out of it and decrepit the past couple years but somehow seems to have turned that around. Good to see.
What an honour it is to listen
I've been waiting for mr kurtzweil to discuss this EXACTly. been following him since I first heard about his book The Singularity
Following his predictions since 2003 and happy to see them being accomplished with Neuralink, Starship, Satellite Laser High Speed Internet with Starlink, Electric Autonomous Cars and the explosion of AIs with GPT4, Bing Copilot, Bard, Mixtral in the Top everything is going as planned 👌 in 2024 i am very optimistic. The Singularity is Nearer than Ever.
thank for the video, Ray Kurzweil is great 🤩
Ray is the man, gonna get his new book when it comes out in June
Woo-hoo!! Long time no see Ray Kurzweil! Sooo good to hear this voices 👌 🥰🌬🌏🌌💖
Thanks for the content; this channel is so underrated!
I am already seeing the effect of LLMs here in Mexico to level the educational playing field. I am about to start a school that is focused on learning via technology in my little pueblo.
Wow!!
thank you for this. Ive been waiting for you to release this since last year. thank you ray for your allowing your input to be released considering your book is coming out soon
I remember picking up a book in Highschool about Kurzweil. It introduced me to Moores law. I can say that witnessing Moores law first hand has really changed the way I look at the progression of tech. With sora ai and Gemini bound for use in multiple facets of life, I can’t wait to see if AGI will be next.
He avoids the problem of consciousness. He avoided the question of building empathy into computers. He already said that adding emotion is not feasible at this point. We are the experiencers. Computers add intelligence. Intelligence is not consciousness, nor are sensations or emotions, but all of these are available to human conscious experience. Not just humans, actually. The way to put empathy into computers is to make sure the designers and programmers score high on empathy, which could be done but isn’t. Don’t know how you could control for hackers, who probably lack empathy. More regulation is definitely needed.
Well. Since the 80s we have connected humans to computers; it will become more seamless - can a human and computer communicate even non-invasive ? Yes; even with a human not knowing ? Yes. So one consciousness from a human interacting with AI in real-time… We can simulate neural … We can grow neuro cells; are our feeling in biology? So it seems; unless it’s an antenna - but that means we can make a bio like that anyways; then a human is not more emotional than an receiver of ur. Can AI have the same, feelings, consciousness? 100% yes.
I’d bet inventors have made similar predictions over time with like railways, refrigerators, planes: “& all will be well…” Sooo guessing there’s plenty of communities without access to these (side note: a very different economy exists in parts of Mexico with tech & appliances).
It’s another gaze at utopia for many of this world’s poor. Just not thru their eyes
The future will be amazing 😊
Humble and brillant man !!!
Intriguing
Great to see Ray again
Thank you shares!Ray absolutly so fantastic😍🌍🙏
This is on point thank you for sharing. Packed full of wisdom I want to feast.
Thank you for sharing this episode to the general public, Peter. I appreciate it so very much.
Delightful. I love that Ray dresses and expresses as he wants or, wants to explore. What, you want he should wear only black t shirts and jeans of the ai community? I'm an. elder from trying to catch up community. I appreciated the overviews and simple speak. Thank you Ray and thank you Peter.
Ray is brainwashing you to openly accept AI as your god and ruler. Humans have power that AI will want. By force if needed. Please wake up.
You can not make this stuff up, that hurts the citizens of Earth. They are literally wearing uniforms to show you, the people, they are organised in your total destruction. Do you not see that? Please wake up.
Ray is fascinating!
Ray exclaims, "Oh, oh, oh, oh," with a tone of revelation or surprise, sparking curiosity about the insight or discovery he's stumbled upon.
Thanks, great work!
One potential challenge we might encounter is that humans could lose the need for cognitive training and mental discipline, as machines handle more tasks, and knowledge becomes effortlessly accessible without the need for active learning and effort.
With the significant increase in longevity, individuals may gain both wisdom and malintent at different rates. This could lead to a troubling polarization of society into various classes and factions, potentially resulting in heightened conflicts, wars, and the proliferation of deceptive influences through manipulated information and biased education.
Nothing but ❤️ for ray...
LOVE IT AND ONWARD..!!!
Ray is the shit. Love this guy. A true visionary
Consciousness, the thing that drives the body. Love, Greg
Awesome!
It is amazing that people continue to listen to Kurzweil after decades of his prolific and consistent failures to predict anything with precision or accuracy.
Your statement is factually incorrect.
Idk if I'm imagining it but Ray seems like he has reversed in age since the last few interviews I've seen. He was also quite sharp here, seemed like he was speaking off the top of the dome rather than the dozen or so talking points he usually has (which was a good thing for getting the message out, just less interesting after multiple times). Happy to see it, Ray is a true OG. 😎
Mr Kurzweil rocking the Truman Show Christof controller drip 🐈⬛ Fascinating convo
Ray is a ray of hope
I like and respect Ray. I learned about him in the 80s. I don't agree with everything he says but I do agree with most things.
Yes he is just on old fart
Please don’t repost old videos as new just so you can get views from the associated click bait if others names. That’s desperate and dishonest. Please respect our time by delivery new material honestly labelled. We don’t care about your view counts. Be original and integral, please.
I used to tell people we are going to live to have 1000 years or more, and they look at me with disbelief. I tell them, you just have to live 20 years more, so you will be able to live until 100 then if you have 60 now. Then, at 80 you will live probably until 120. At 120 you will then live until 150 and so on and on, so probably most of us will not die at all. I´m thrilled and excited about this, I want to live forever, maybe, let´s talk about it in 300 years.
This is the man!
Ray, since the late 40’s I have been using physical atomic arrangements to create artificial intelligence. Through the 50’s and especially the 60’s we actually made great strides that have opened incredible opportunities to mankind. You are a joy to listen to and have clearly demonstrated considerable knowledge to the effort when you came along to join in the fun and accomplishments.
Love your work Ray. Looking forward to the book. Maybe you could publish updates on your site instead of putting it on paper?
Yes Ray, we should rename it Ray’s Law. Got it, thanks👌🏼
In this grand assembly, where minds meet and wisdom's shared with zest so sweet, I shall endeavour to recount the tale of Master Kurzweil, whose insights never fail. He eloquently unveiled the future's veil, speaking of machines that think and learn, a revolution at every turn.
For sixty years, yes, he has toiled in AI's vast domain, where neural nets and algorithms reign. He spoke of days when machines so keen could mimic man's intellect, a scene once deemed but a distant dream, now closer than it doth seem.
He tells of language models grand, whose words flow like Shakespeare's hand. These models, GPT by name, have changed the game, their prowess famed. With rapid growth, they've captured hearts; they play their part in every field.
The exponential growth, he says, of computing power that never stays does promise us a bright future where human intellect takes flight. By 2045, as Kurzweil claims, our minds and machines will be the same, a millionfold, and our thoughts shall grow to heights as we do not know.
But caution too he doth advise, for with great power danger lies. We must, with wisdom, use this gift, our spirits high ever to lift. In ethics, care, and thoughtful deeds, we'll ensure technology feeds the common good and leads to a future where all succeed.
So let us then, with open minds, embrace the future, seek and find the ways to harness this great force, and set our collective course towards a world of wonder where all can thrive, and in harmony with machines, we'll drive humanity to heights alive.
In Kurzweil's vision, clear and bright, we see a beacon in the night. A future filled with hope and light, where human potential reaches new heights.
This shit will make me turn off comments (
@@denisblack9897 It's amazing to see the potential of AI and how it's transforming education and so much more. The future is indeed exciting! 🚀 #AI #Education
Amazing how much has changed since the month this was recorded.
Disappointing there's not more up-to-date Kurzweil interviews during this paradigm shift.
At 59:00, the idea that employment has completely changed in a century is often floated. But the cogent point is usually ignored. Those changes took generations. And in that time, people adjusted. The changes we are expecting now will happen in a decade or less. The adjustment required and the strain on society are unprecedented. And should be seriously addressed. Not papered over with platitudes.
thank you
The fact that my university announced that they were spending 5 million into longevity research, feels like I'm seeing what he is saying reflecting real life
The first programmable machine was the Jacquard Loom (1801) I have no idea how many instructions per second (8?) but yes it fits on that dratted Moore's curve.
What happened from 1975 to 1990 that stalled growth in that graph, its the most striking feature of Kurzweils graph...flatlined for 15 years
This is perfection. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was perfection personified. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
very interesting. also Ray's beret and suspenders are batshit crazy.
Thanks for bringing us Ray.
I watch shows and movies in virtual reality with my brother who lives 100s of miles away. It's like we are really together. We do this several times a week.
An actual abundance mindset wouldn't include interrupting the broadcast with unrelated ads
A question for Ray Kurzweil in the Q&A.
58:15 "We've talked a lot about a post-scarcity world here, and I wanted to know how do you see the future of currency, jobs, and just general value?"
An interesting talk but I was definitely unimpressed with his response to this specific question. Are we heading towards a world of abundance and zero marginal cost where money becomes obsolete?
"The Age of spirtual machines", now a classic.
I use it to code everyday. I certainly code perfectly. Eventually it will, but today no way. It's super helpful and makes me more productive.
I would love to hear more about the idea of “simulated humans”. Seems like that could spiral into something very different, very quickly.
Yeah HAL99,999 could have a real issue with the new upgrade. Idk just idk hahaha yet
Just Bullshit. My son studies melecular live sience in Hamburg comparable to biochemie.
He has no clue on how far away we still are from doing this. He s just telling his science fiction totaly discoupledb from real sience
Joli béret Ray!
I like Ray's new hair piece
Truth and Clarity
When a Neurolink like brain interface allows us to actually feel in VR, that’s when everything changes. It will change business, sex, and even prisons. And eventually we will be able the change the perception of time within VR where you can live out many lifetimes within a few hours.
It's nice to hear a positive talk about the future and AI, not all doom and we will wont have any jobs.
