I ... maybe Jordan with a Wall Street Journal were here today with futurist author of the singularity is near ... recruits flowery things for being with this used to ... seal their The is ... kind of a ... confusing worth a lot of people you have of that the new DVD ... omelets it's come out on DVD the transcendent man is based off of your book number two DVD on iTunes last couple months ... series Cava a tough word because ... I really you're talking about the merging of man and machine in the area of nano tech and biotech so the media scenario I ... am running around five miles and burn five hundred calories my body automatically tweets this to my Twitter feed that ... crude forms of that are happening now take me ... to the year twenty twenty nine help of computers unmanned ... change what's what's the endgame ... well one big trend is clearly programming our bio chemistry and biology way that we know the real skinny jeans on the diamond and Xinyu genes of new forms of ... gene therapy we growing organs and tissues with ... its ... stem cells which create the embryonic stem cells from skin cells ... no embryos involved in many different technologies so we will ... these technologies by Trent Renata of the million tons of powerful men ... we're beginning to put devices Nevada's brings Parkinson's patients ... Cochlear implants of the computerized organs that are being developed ... I had to twenty thirty years will really be merging with these technologies and in this ... column that from my ... health is a billion times more powerful dollars in the computerised in ... two hundred thousand times smaller ... than twenty thirties this will be the size of blood so ... we will put them inside tablets like the sums healthier ... and auto brands and makers of small ... and you say the magic number ... matching paper this is really twenty twenty nine what logos August when a twenty nine is what I think of the missile testing test ... being very indistinguishable ... from humans in terms of their ability to interact with the sprite language ... that's not immediately sets out the single A and C levy is at two twenty forty five ... that's the point where we've got to merge with this technology and we've enhanced ... our memory and intelligence of billion fold ... go through this he's bringing standards not noticing a wide belt is already a brain extended even if it's not a mind body ... and brain are much more knowledgeable ... than I would be otherwise ... do you worry about any of this is what you what do you here I mean I know you've said that ... you've been accused of being an optimist ... but to me that you you really see both sides of the climatic isn't bad but actually Everton were extensively ... about the downsides ... so fire and kept the swarm of also been down on villages technologies always been a double edge sword ... biotech which Ocean's talk about ... we are applying to cure cancer but can be used by a buyer terrorists to read from a biological virus ... to create a deadly weapon ... on Sunday was Ellis's the pursue these technologies is it too dangerous ... to dangers of doing mission movement ... on that would work that would just ride these technologies underground with it even more dangerous to read ... answer is to develop defenses ... I want to work with the Army Ana Ana Biotechnology defense ... we have to creates new technologies and Safeway anticipate how they might be abused in Iraq that ... Saddam had answer ... but that is the only approach ... you've written that are within the next five years economists say can you expect to learn other search engines and engines to house for this ... natural language processing capacity ... what's in there that the computer beat ... a jeopardy contestant ... um you really think the computers are going to have this capacity to ... understand human Nuance with humor and irony ... well I a ... said that when he moved to CBS from nineteen eighty seven people thought that was crazy but if you if you watch Watson ... Watson understood metaphor and sometimes and sometimes humor ... that if you get a higher score than to bassoon players ... together if you apply that kind of ... know how and and and knowledge in line with the understanding ... to search engine of the very powerful role in music into RightNow's request amidst competition but ... you know with the doubling of computation for Dollar every year ... within five years so that'll be feasible to really get the kind of understanding of language ... to search engine so you can talk things over in natural and you mention the doubling of the capacity which brings to mind Moore's Law Gordon Moore has come out and said that he doesn't believe the singularity is gonna happen um or at least not anytime soon ... how you handle the skeptics to come out and say you're being a bit optimistic in terms of ... of the singularity happen ... crossing the thinking when alien that Sun hardwired in our brains ... people thought it was crazy that ... I wanna predicted that the world wide web but emerge in the late nineties to making hundreds of millions of people in the entire ... defense budget for the entirety of the two thousand people in the early eighties ... other than many examples ... where people look at today's technology applied Alenia thinking and ... I don't see how revolution of these technologies will be ... when you when you talk about the singularity their implications of course for biotech Innotek they're also implications for the financial world ... as well and in nine of the top ... of that something that the university is is looking into ... whether Twitter ... some perhaps underestimated ... are the implications accelerating ... technology as well as price performance reaches certain levels home new applications explode ... on the landscape in this constant ... disruption ... social networks is the latest way in the next wave will be full immersion three dimensional virtual reality will have images written ... directly to our Aetna's from our eyeglasses so will be ... an online all the time the display will be some little device to looking at that and the ... our entire field of view of all granted realities silicon selling them ... to a Miami who they are in the Bakken about them and help guide me through the day ... we will be in a rage ... all demented reality ... environments ... going to contest commercial reality environments a block on real reality ... this may Selic a silly question but ... Co singularity sex with dignity like ... that is to say in ... how we go to relate Imeem already ... where are we ... in Illinois is the latest Commnication technology for a period interests of Goulden goods for spoken survival but then there was a century of ... no ... more central titles when bushel really goes inside the nervous system and ... would have little computers inside our ... brains and turn off the single cover for a real sense is replacing the signals that you would be receiving a few in the virtual environment ... it feels like you're in the virtual by much of a virtual body can be different than the real body ... couple could become each other for example but ... he'll be a black have ... any kind of interaction physical Central Central ...
