If we think aliens are advanced as we think they are, we are probably just ants to us.
When we were single celled organism, we wouldn't realise or comprehend what we are doing now.
On the other hand if we are an experiment they could be rushing the experiment by abduction. Most abduction victims are women, and almost 30 percent had signs of pregnancy after the abduction but 4 months after they lost the pregnancy without discharge.
Many women report being abducted later in life but seen a being on the craft they describe as their offspring. If we just assume for a moment these people aren't full of it or having shared hallucinations, I wonder if it's a breeding program to advance us or are they interbreeding with us genetically because maybe they desire our traits.
The Kurzweil's also underestimate that just because you can do something, doesn't mean you will.
Google glass and self driving cars are an example
When we create a super intelligence…our 1st question should be how did life(dna specifically) form. Then ask how it should move forward.
great stuff
Saying neurons "are not that complicated" and you can just replace your neurons with some "solid state microdevice" is really reaching. Yes, fundamentally we think of a neuron as being an integrator of electrical signals from other neurons and that's the basis for artificial neural networks and computational neuroscience. But we also know a single neuron is in reality enormously complicated: its electrical properties are very dynamic and certainly not uniform across a single neuron, synapses and their properties change all the time based on rules we only partially understand, there is a plethora of molecular chemistry going on inside the neuron which influences every aspect of the neuron and they can have unbelievably complex morphologies which will result in enormously complicated electrical integration which we might never be able to model accurately. On top of that neurons are incredibly diverse and they are embedded within brain tissue hosting billions of other non-neuronal cells which we know play a key role in the functioning of those neurons. And the chemical soup of this brain tissue is far from homogenous throughout the brain and changes all the time. So while we may one day be able to approximate a lot of the brain's basic functions, it really just isn't as simple as he points it out to be.
