>>12424835>Will there be a technological singularity Absolutely. We're in the middle of computer revolution. Arguably, the 4th. Computers -> Internet -> smart phones -> AI. Just like the industrial revolution lumps together the first and second waves, it depends on what fidelity you want.
>like Ray Kurzweil predictseeeeeeeh, that depends on how much you squint and how much you really want the guy to have been right.
>in which technology will start to evolve exponentially? Technology has always been growing exponentially. Always. From rocks to bronze to iron. That trend continues right up to now. We're certainly on a more upward portion of it. But yes, currently computers and AI are tools we're using to accelerate the rate of discovery and learning. These things on the ends of of your fingertips are your external brain. No real need to "merge", and even if you did merge, you'd still have to control and command it like any other tool.
>Will quantum computing and AI developments give sciences like biology and physics never before seen insights into the brain and consciousness?....yes, they have. It's been pretty cool.
We're there dude. You need to read up on the state of the art of neural networks and neuroscience. It's not 25 years away, that time is now.
