his name is Ray Kurzweil
this relationship movie characters from sci-fi to set theory throughout all pay tribute to the scientist Ray Kurzweil
Ray Kurzweil powerful backing
in the academic expensive for He has been a proud son for many years, but he is a good one after studying. He moved to Google and worked for many years. Now he is the chief engineer of Google and is in charge of the Google Brain project.
He also has many ideas about the future of science and technology affecting mankind. He has published his predictions on the future of science and technology many times, and the accuracy rate is as high as 86%.
This film introduces his two predictions:
1.
Ray Kurzweil believes that by 2030, hundreds of millions of blood cell-sized nano-sized computers will be placed in human blood to help maintain human health. , And even enter the brain, connecting the cerebral cortex and the cloud network to each other. So when humans think about problems, they can connect through the cerebral cortex.
Second, the evolution of immortality
Ray Kurzweil regards "immortality" as a process of continuous progress. He believes that there is no such thing as eternity. What we are really talking about is the path of human beings to the next node: in the
first stage, humans will use supplements to maintain their health.
The second stage is the revolution in biotechnology, human beings can stay away from diseases.
The third stage is the revolution in nanotechnology. At that time, people can implant tiny nanorobots into blood vessels and organs to strengthen the immune system. It can recognize all diseases and can fight new diseases. It is estimated that by 2045, humans will be able to obtain "immortality" with the help of artificial intelligence.
In addition to these,
he also put forward a comprehensive point of view, "human-machine", summarizing the future trend of human civilization, and
slightly excerpted interviews about this point of view.
================================================
Google Engineering Supervisor Ray Kurzweil: We are a "human-machine" civilization.
Kurzweil compares the life mechanism to the operation of software, and the human body operates outdated software. The insulin receptor gene in our body allows us to save every calorie. This may apply to 10,000 years ago. At that time, we had less calories every day, so we had to save it in fat cells. There is no need to do this now.
Not long ago, Google founded Calico, a biotechnology company, and invited Genetech's former chairman of the board, Arthur Levinson, to serve as the company's CEO. This company is Google's Moon Shot project, and it is a controversial topic. Through the development of artificial intelligence, Google is already building a skynet of science fiction films, but the project to fight aging and death is even more disturbing. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws and also the needs of social metabolism. Once this rule is overturned, who knows what kind of energy will be released?
However, Google's involvement in the health field is not surprising. Prior to this, Google had hired futurist Ray Kurzweil as the head of engineering, a man who proposed the singularity theory and believed that human thinking can live forever. Although we still don't know how Ray Kurzweil's relationship with Calico is, his interest in biological sciences is obviously strong. Recently, Ray Kurzweil accepted an interview with the macleans website and talked about many biological sciences. Perhaps we can also peek Google's future direction from it.
Kurzweil compares the life mechanism to the operating process of software, and the human body operates outdated software. The insulin receptor gene in our body allows us to save every calorie. This may apply to 10,000 years ago. At that time, we had less calories every day, so we had to save it in fat cells. There is no need to do this now. At the Joslin Diabetes Center, the experimental mice ate a lot and did not become obese after the gene was turned off. Their lifespan has increased by 20%. Currently, the center is cooperating with drug companies to bring this product to the market.
When planning health and medicine as software, human life will continue to extend. "We treat biology, and its extended health and medicines, as information technology. We intuitively believe that progress is linear, but information technology shows exponential growth."
Kurzweil regards immortality as a constant As we move forward, "I can't say, "I am done, I will live forever", because there is nothing "forever". What we are really talking about is the road to the next node." Currently, he uses 150 supplements every day, all indicators are normal, but this approach is only the first bridge. The second bridge is the revolution in biotechnology, human beings can stay away from disease. The third bridge is a revolution in nanotechnology. At that time, people can use nanobots to enhance their immune systems. It can recognize all diseases and can fight new diseases.
Just like the evolution of mobile phones, this technology will be very expensive at first, only enjoyed by a few people, and not very useful, but it will gradually become popular among the public, and at that time it will also be developed to a very useful level. Technology is a double-edged sword. If bioterrorists make a new virus, we can quickly detect and reverse engineer it. "It took 5 years to sequence the genetic sequence of HIV, and only 31 days for SARS. Now, we can sequence the virus in one day. Within a few days, we can detect a new virus. , Do genetic sequencing, create resistance drugs, and then disseminate them.”
Currently, Kurzweil's main work at Google is artificial intelligence. He mentioned Watson, IBM's super robot. Watson shows great intelligence because it can read a lot of information in natural language. "It’s not as good at reading documents as you and me, but it’s a lot of reading makes up for the lack of comprehension-we can’t read 200 million documents. This is an example of artificial intelligence technology. What we did at Google It’s the same. We want the machine to read the meaning of the file, just like Watson did.” In this way, the machine will be able to search and answer questions better.
According to Kurzweil, the intelligence in human civilization is achieving exponential growth. Technology is part of civilization. People will discuss the conflict between machines and humans, but, "The machines we create are not invaders from Mars. We have created tools to expand our own capabilities."
"We are a human-machine civilization. Machines are our intelligence. Part of it.” The intellectual part of the machine will grow rapidly, leading to the arrival of the singularity, and the history of mankind will also change. At that time, human beings will be richer and live longer. Kurzweil said that he is more concerned about wealth. Being rich is not just financial. Technology will enrich our lives. "By expanding our intelligence, all forms of human expression, art, technology, etc. will be expanded."

believe After reading these
Netizens should be able to feel how much the film pays tribute to Ray Kurzweil,
so...Don't say that this film is pretending. No matter how awesome the screenwriter is, he can't be more than half a piece of scum of google talent!
