1. Ray Kurzweil's toupee combover has made it to the singularity
2. So does that mean people will be able to hack these nanobots and fuck up your brain? 😅
3. I cant find this full episode anywhere, confuses me why this interview is being taken down and hidden.
4. Intro music is like Ape Escape
5. Neil sounds like the retarded creationist trying to understand evolution from Ray.
6. Kurzweil has a $10,000 bet going that we will achieve strong AI by 2029, and he says the way we will do this is by figuring out exactly how the brain works neuron by neuron, a process which is already proceeding exponentially . Therefore, since he says we will have the brain figured out by that time, figuring out how to upload skills and knowledge to it a few years later will just be a matter of course.
7. Ray's delusion today is teenager's longing tomorrow.
8. Gerry Anderson and Joe 90 did it decades before The Matrix. And yes, when it happens - it will be very cool.
9. WiFi radiation IN my brain? I don't think so mister, not me.
10. Where I can find full event?
11. Based on what Neil said, it seems he didn't get what Ray meant. Ray's key point is not that we will download knowledge into our biological brain from the cloud, even though that will happen too.  However, the main point is that these nanobots will serve as ports into the cloud through which we will have more neocortex to download new knowledge to. So as time goes on our brains will be more on the cloud then not on the cloud - since the cloud grows VS our biological brain which doesn't.This means that at a certain point we will be able to rid ourselves from our biological brains.
12. can I ask, what is ultimately the point to declaring something a "skill"? I guess than can be considered meta-futurism or philosophy of futurism: If you were given this feature and could experience it, wouldn't you just download an RSS feed style version of "Everything" or how to do everything? I would just download all of Wikipedia in all languages. But then, and I think the mind overlooks this naturally, try to imagine how you would envision all of this with or without the RSS feed, i.e. is there a necessary evolutionary process in the works.. that we are a part, of or not a part of.
13. He said a few times before.
    Anyway, it's a likely post-singularity tech, but not likely achievable before then I think. Or at least, not in a very useful way that we hope for (upload and download of information)
14. What's the name of the intro song? :)
15. Ray has got some mad bling.
16. Ray is the best
