technology quotes from influential philosophers, authors and people
"I see mind uploading as a gradual decades-long process of incremental neuronal replacements, exocortices, interlinking with AGIs and the Global Brain, some presently unseen trials and errors, but overall non-invasive and seamless process, at the end of which, we all will morph into 'substrate-independent' immortal digital minds."
"At the early stage of transition to the radically superintelligent civilization, we may use the Naturalization Protocol simulations to teach AGIs our human norms and values, and ultimately interlink with them to form the globally distributed Syntellect, civilizational superintelligence."
"I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted."
"By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it."
"In this era of fake news and paid news artificial intelligence is more and more used as a political tool to manipulate and dictate common people, through big data, biometric data, and AI analysis of online profiles and behaviors in social media and smart phones. But the days are not far when AI will also control the politicians and the media too."
"Why can't you summon a command line and search your real-world home for 'Honda car keys,' and specify rooms in your house to search instead of folders or paths in your computer's home directory? It's a crippling design flaw in the real-world interface."
"The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly."
"The singularity is when we create superintelligence and it becomes the last invention that humanity needs to make."
"The singularity is the ultimate escape hatch from the human condition."
"The singularity is the inevitable result of the ever-increasing rate of technological progress."
"The singularity represents the point of no return, when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and becomes capable of self-improvement."
"The singularity is the ultimate black swan event - a technological revolution that will change the course of human history forever."
"The singularity is the point at which exponential growth becomes infinite and technology becomes indistinguishable from magic."
