The End of Moore's Law

Hey guys, check this out:

GIVE ME A BREAK. First off, the video is too long; I didn't watch the whole thing.

From the title, I just facepalmed. Really? This alarmist, Luddite B.S.?

While I don't believe in this "singularity" that Ray Kurzweil's always on about, I don't think that our technology is going to take over and destroy all life as we know it. That's paranoid garbage with no basis in reality. This guy is a KOOK.

Anyone with common sense would realize that as technology develops, safeguards are implemented. Accidents happen but our technology suddenly springing to life and judging humans to be "obsolete" is pretty damn stupid.

Sorry, but it's crap like this that's holding back technological progress.

Well said, Wolfwood. I've always found Stephen Forrest to be a little nutty, myself.

I wouldn't advocate throwing caution to the wind or doing anything immoral but there's too much fear-mongering in this presentation to pass muster.

Yep. I thought this might get people talking.

I don't agree with most of the fear mongering regarding artificial intelligence. Like Wolfwood said, as it's developed, safeguards will be implemented.

Our computers and machines will not have the tools or will to subjugate or exterminate humanity unless we specifically give them these things. As long as we don't give military weapons full autonomy, I think we're safe.

That's interesting.

Haven't heard much about that lately.
