Correct, thanks.

You're welcome. Those are two of my favorites. Thaller and Lubin.

Let's not be in too much of a hurry to be just like China, shall we? I really don't like this man. >:(

I believe that whole deal is a scam to have an IPO and then bail.  You heard it here first.

I believe it is really stupid to litter the galaxy as well.

I would pay money to permanently end that Ad Council commercial.

I can't tell if he's actually for it, or just amused by it.  Both are pretty disturbing though.

Yeah, he's definitely a little too enthusiastic about the whole dehumanizing enterprise. ::)

I don't think he's for it, more like making ppl aware of it.

C'mon man, plenty of room for a measly billion nano-chips out there.  :D

Nah! He's talking about it like it's an inevitability. He said China could get away with things we can't like he admires that. Wake up! ::)

There's something more complicated than the Hadron Collider?  I gotta look into this.




Dr. MD MD

What other animal would be stupid enough to knowingly obsolete itself from the equation? None! We're the only ones stupid enough to attempt it. ::)


Belles

Has he watched the series Altered Carbon?

I think maybe the way it happens is alot of independent minds making advancements in their little corners, with no one actually seeing the cumulative effect of all the inter-dependencies till it's too late.  The singularity deal basically, catching everyone by surprise.

Have I mentioned Robots and AI terrify me?

Kinda like when the bots get their secret language wired.

That's it! Now you're selling yourself on it. Boy, the NLP is really cooking tonight! :D

The one or few disruptive or enabling technology(ies) that catches everyone by surprise and spirals out of control. That scares me.

Belles

We do need this guest back on a future show. He's talked about so many subjects.

You're being sycophantic toward a fascist that would like to see you dead. What's wrong with you?! ::)
