Google exec: With robots in our brains, we'll be godlikeFuturist and Google exec Ray Kurzweil thinks that once we have robotic implants, we'll be funnier, sexier and more loving. Because that's what artificial intelligence can do for you.I suspect a few of you are looking forward to being robots. Who wouldn't be fascinated by the idea of becoming someone other than themselves? We do get so tired of being the same dull soul every day. What kind of robots will we be? Happily, I can provide an answer. For living inside my head all day have been the words of Google's director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil. For more than a curt while, he's been keen on humans going over to the bright side. He's predicted that humans will be hybrid robots by 2030. But what will this be like? More importantly, what will this feel like? Are you ready to engage what's left of your humorous humanity when I offer you the information that Kurzweil believes we're going to be quite wonderful people when we're part robot? Kurzweil has a truly, madly, deeply optimistic view of who we will be when nanobots are implanted into our brains so we can expand our intelligence by directly tapping into the Internet. This is such a relief. I had feared that when a robot was implanted into my brain, my head would hurt. I was afraid that I wouldn't be quite in touch with my feelings, as I wouldn't be sure if they were real or just the promptings of my inner robot. Kurzweil, though, has reassured me. Speaking recently at Singularity University, where he is a member of the faculty, he explained that my brain will develop in the same way my smartphone has. "We're going to add additional levels of abstraction," he said, "and create more-profound means of expression." More profound than Twitter? Is that possible? Kurzweil continued: "We're going to be more musical. We're going to be funnier. We're going to be better at expressing loving sentiment." Because robots are renowned for their musicality, their sense of humor and their essential loving qualities. Especially in Hollywood movies. Kurzweil insists, though, that this is the next natural phase of our existence. "Evolution creates structures and patterns that over time are more complicated, more knowledgeable, more intelligent, more creative, more capable of expressing higher sentiments like being loving," he said. "So it's moving in the direction that God has been described as having -- these qualities without limit." Yes, we are becoming gods. "Evolution is a spiritual process and makes us more godlike," was Kurzweil's conclusion. There's something so uplifting, yet so splendidly egocentric in suggesting that man will soon be God, thanks to artificial intelligence. The mere fact that this intelligence is artificial might be a clue as to its potential limitations. Moreover, I rather think of us as a dangerous species: Primitive, yet believing we're so very clever. There are so many fundamental things with which we struggle. Here we are, though, believing that we'll be godlike in a few years' time. Lord, help us. http://www.cnet.com/news/google-exec-with-robots-in-our-brains-well-be-godlike/

You are wasting your time and force everyone else who put her on their ignore list to read her replies... Do not quote her if you want this back and forth to go on.
You are right. I am giving up on this sad sap. His arguments don't even make sense. He's like the definition of shitposter, I now see why people hate liberals.. :/ now ignored. I can't hate liberals all the time, otherwise I won't have a partner to kickbox with... He is the only liberal I have ever met that I have disliked though. She has been ignored by you. Still hope for you my dear padawan, there is. Yes, hmmm. Well, I am not truly on one side or the other, I just hold a tad more liberal views than I do conservative. Also, I don't appreciate the anti- everything conservative attitude. I think we would be a hell lot further developed as a country if the republicans weren't sitting around putting stops to every possible new idea.But I do have a few right-leaning views. I believe the same thing, but with democrats, when I think of Soros... PopCornTime!

Yes. I went through the whole 4chan thread and knew it was a troll trap, smelled like one. so I did not include egg man on my thread. I may be wrong regarding the gunman and the christians. We shall see. 4chan is a trap. If you ever venture over there make sure you wear a full hazmat suit and a vpn.. I have no inclination to check it out and I've only heard the nastiest things about it, lol. Whatever you've heard... It is worse. Not dark web worse but close...

FORMER US MARSHAL: OREGON GUNMAN CHOSE ‘GUN FREE FACILITY’ WITH UMPQUA COMMUNITY COLLEGEDuring an October 1 appearance on CNN’s Newroom, former US Marshal Art Roderick said the gunman at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College probably chose his target by knowing it was as gun free-zone and therefore “an easy target.” Roderick’s exact words: “[The gunman] probably knew that the facility was a gun free facility, [which is] an easy target for these kinds of coward individuals. They know they’re not going to get any response unless they happen to run into security or a campus police officer.” Roderick went on to explain that the key for investigators right now is ascertaining the gunman’s motive and figuring out how he got his weapon(s). On August 2 Breitbart News reported that eight attacks with firearms in gun free zones in the last eight years resulted in the lost of 105 lives and the wounding of 150 others. Those attacks were on the Lafayette Grand Theater (July 23), Chattanooga (July 16), Fort Hood (April 2, 2014), DC Navy Yard (September 16, 2013), Sandy Hook Elementary (December 14, 2012), Aurora movie theater (July 12, 2012), Fort Hood (November 5, 2009), and Virginia Tech (April 16, 2007) http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/01/former-us-marshal-oregon-gunman-chose-gun-free-facility-umpqua-community-college/------------------------------------------------------- Strange how the media calls him "the gunman"... No ID...

Obama will probably address the public, then shortly later he'll push for stricter gun control any time a mass shooting happens...Times like these, I don't feel politics should necessarily be involved, but protocols like damn security guards being unarmed should be reviewed.
He did not even waited that long... What a sad president. You know one way conspiracy theorists will lean toward deciding if a shooting was a hoax or real? The hoaxes tend to have someone calling for gun control that day or the next. Normal shootings won't have people shouting we need gun control immediately because they're mourning for their relatives. I'm not saying this or is not a hoax, but I find that funny. 0bama is the a gold mine for gun sellers. Every time he opens his mouth for more gun control they sell 1 million more guns.

Can we speculate a Tea Partier would not have shot a Christian in the head?

Shooter In Oregon Asked People Their Religion Before He Started Shooting – UPDATE: Christians Were Shot In The Head…[...] Kortney Moore, 18, from Rogue River, Ore., was in her Writing 115 class at Snyder Hall when she heard a shot come through a window. She said she watched as her teacher was shot in the head. The gunman was inside the building at that point, she said, and was ordering people to get on the ground. Ms. Moore said the the man asked people to stand up and state their religion, and then he began firing. http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/10/01/ny-times-witness-oregon-campus-gunman-asked-about-religion******************** The gunman who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Twitter user @BodhiLooney, who said her grandma was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head,” she wrote. “If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.”http://bnonews.com/news/index.php/tags/tag/id/808/

Hillary Clinton cache of emails has two months missingWASHINGTON — About two months of emails from the start of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state are missing, and federal officials haven’t been able to recover them. An archive of records that Clinton, the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential front-runner, turned over to the State Department doesn’t begin until March 18, 2009, though she took office as secretary of state in late January of that year. The missing emails raise more questions about her stewardship of official documents during her tenure and whether there is a complete record of the early diplomatic efforts of President Barack Obama’s administration. The potential significance of the missing emails, which Clinton’s aides acknowledge and say she no longer can retrieve, came to light last week when a chain of online correspondence between her and former Gen. David Petraeus was found on Defense Department servers. Those messages, which included work-related personnel matters, dated to the period missing from Clinton’s records. The email gap came years before the 2012 attack on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, which is the subject of a congressional probe that unearthed Clinton’s use of a personal email server. On Wednesday, the department released more Clinton emails, about 6,000 pages mostly from 2010 and 2011, to comply with a judge’s order as part of a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hillary-clinton-cache-of-emails-has-two-months-missing-2015-10-01

Germans should stop being so selfish and open up to other traditions and cultures, in their own country... Hmmm.... perhaps the Germans should learn that from the British authorities, who let the Pakistanis rape tens of thousands of white children. In Rotherham itself, some 1,400 girls were abused by this particular ethnic group. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089And now, they will be having millions of Somalis, Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians, Africans.etc arriving in a matter of few months to further enrich the cultural ethos. Best of luck! Germans are not welcoming enough. They should convert to islam to honor their guests...

Alright.. Before I start, let me just state that I am a very liberal and left-leaning person. I am also a supporter of LGBT. However. This is embarrassing. This is basically what hicks w/ very little IQ sounds like. They have these long conversations with people, and they get confused, then they begin these childish rants. I find this especially disgusting as I have a part of my family [extended] who is like this. Completely immature and illiterate, throwing childish insults. Plus, the non stop caps and emoticons piss me off. Honestly. Who says ' ..BECAUSE I AM TALKING TO DIARRHOEA..PEOPLE LIKE YOU ' That is worse than my little brother who is starting kindergarten. It's almost less of an actual insult, than how you want to brag about your single-digit IQ point value. May I ask how old you are? I am almost scared to ask, b/c you are either a young/immature kid, who found this cool interweb money, and decided to sign up for the forum to post these rants, or you are an adult. I almost don't know which is worse. Absolutely disgusted. Molotov. Not you.
