this unnerves me:
"I've made the case that we will have both the hardware and the software to achieve human level artificial intelligence with the broad suppleness of human intelligence including our emotional intelligence by 2029," he said.(from the BBC)
"We're already a human machine civilisation, we use our technology to expand our physical and mental horizons and this will be a further extension of that."
Humans and machines would eventually merge, by means of devices embedded in people's bodies to keep them healthy and improve their intelligence, predicted Mr Kurzweil.
"We'll have intelligent nanobots go into our brains through the capillaries and interact directly with our biological neurons," he told BBC News.
The nanobots, he said, would "make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system".
if this actually happens, i'm going to pack my bags for the miniature version of our solar system that was just discovered, and live with my gay, black, non-android bizarro version of myself. Sphere: Related Content

There is a name for this kind of crazy shit, and it's called "transhumanism."
yeah i read this article last week, totally going to happen. everyone involved with nanotechnology has been talking this up for years. my professor is actually doing work here on nanotoxicity using yeast as a test medium. it is unnerving to think of nanobots affixing to your brain, but it is interesting nonetheless. what bothers me more than the cohabitation of robots is the probable widening of class division--with the poor unable to afford the implants and the like.
i like the year 2029, not 2030 or 2028, as the time when its going to happen. Kurzweil is the Nostradamus of the new millennium!
