Y'know, I've never really understood these posts. If you don't believe that the Singularity is coming in your lifetime, why are you even here? It's like you look at all the evidence and just throw it out the window, saying "Well, it's just not going to happen because I believe it won't!"

It's like saying "I don't believe humans will ever go to the moon, so they won't."

If you're really having trouble understanding why people think the Singularity will occur by 2045, you should try reading "The Singularity Is Near" by Ray Kurzweil. He explicitly says why he believes this is going to happen. I'm not going to type it all out here, so you can just check it out for yourself.

Come back to this comment in 100 years, and laugh about how wrong I was if you really believe what you say.

I'm sick of seeing stuff like this

Shut the fuck up. You're just using a bunch of words in an attempt to sound smart and begin a cult. Why do people like you even bother posting here?

Sorry for your future loss.

HeinrichTheWolf is fucking lying. He didn't reply to me, nor did he post any evidence for that claim. Aubrey never said that aging could be cured by 2030. Not recently, anyways. I'm sorry for your loss.

We are all connected through the internet! Not much more than that though.

Ever since Ray wrote the book "The Singularity Is Near" in 2005 his predicted date for the Singularity has always been 2045. His estimated date has not changed since.

Stop spreading bullshit.

Someone on this sub predicted longevity escape velocity for 2022 and accused others of "thinking linearly".

How ironic.

"I would think so, De Grey thinks there’s a good chance aging will be cured by 2030."

When did he say that?

Didn't he say 50% for 2037?

You'd better take care of your health if you want that belief to come true. You can't rely on advancements in life extension to make you live forever if you don't know when they'll arrive.

No.

I'm calling it now, nothing will be different in 2030. The difference will be that the date says 2030 instead of 2022. The fact that governments aren't trying to do anything about artificial intelligence right now sort of proves we aren't on the cusp of something revolutionary.

We aren't going to be seeing mass unemployment utopia any time soon. It's at least a few decades away.

"I'm a nihilist but the technological rapture is close!"

Shut the fuck up.

We either conquer heat death or leave the universe for a new one. Those huge swaths of time will give us a viable solution, if we even assume heat death is the ultimate fate of the universe.

The pessimism in your posts is near doomer level.

It doesn't.

They dead.

Death is a tragedy. People rationalize tragedies by either romanticizing it or saying "it's not that bad". Once the option presents itself, everyone will want to live forever as long as they have a life they enjoy and their family with them.

Why is it that people who accept death from old age are always young?

Elon fanboys don't realize that having a device malfunction in your brain would kill you. Monkeys that had neuralinks in their head fucking died.

I never said this sub isn't an echo chamber. I said that r/collapse is an echo chamber for depression.

Elon won't be the one to bring us there.

Neuralink is shit. For all you dumbass nerds who think that you'll be playing full dive virtual reality games through Elon's monkey killer, you're wrong.

If Ray Kurzweil mentions anything about Neuralink in his new book, I will see him as a fucking con-man. My sincerest apologies.
