C-SPAN Book TV - In Depth with Ray Kurzweil
by Rattle at 2:58 am EST, Nov 6, 2006 |
Author, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil will be our guest for In Depth on November 5th (LIVE Noon-3pm ET). Mr. Kurzweil is the author of several books on the subject of artificial intelligence, including "The Age of Intelligent Machines," "The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence," and his latest, "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology." His companies have made major breakthroughs in print, sound and speech recognition technologies. As a result of his work, he was awarded the 1999 National Medal of Technology by President Clinton.
There does not appear to be an easy way to link to where the streaming video for this is on C-SPAN. At the time of this posting, it's linked off the main page. I'm guessing it will be in the search database tomorrow. |

That's okay. They've been on a steady decline for me after I met Bruce Sterling in 1995. Ray can go drop acid with Danny Hillis and all the rest of the MIT starfuckers that think it's much cooler to put their considerable brains and other resources towards "problems" like building 10,000 year old clocks and taking 200+ vitamins a day instead of solving world hunger or providing access to quality affordable health care. These guys are still living in the 1950s, when it was 'intellectual' to take some shrooms before you wrote some sci-fi. Phillip K. Dick is rolling in his grave. |
