0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast. There's a futurist. His name

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>is Ray, and he claims that we will reach immortality

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>by twenty thirty. What is the year right now? Twenty

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty three? We don't you said twenty thirteen, I mean

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three. Sorry, well you really asked Buck in

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>the archives nostalgical. We don't even have harvocas. We're still

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>using literal cash and physical keys. Yet for some reason,

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Ray believes that we will reach immortality by twenty thirty.

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You might be thinking, why would I listen to a

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>futurist called Ray? What are raised credentials? Please? Well, he's

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>made one hundred and forty seven predictions with an eighty

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>six percent accuracy rate, so it kind of makes sense

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that he's that's a pretty that's like a b pretty

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.319
<v Speaker 1>good though for like having no you know, coming off

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the dome. He foresaw consumers designing their own clothes from

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>home with computers by nineteen ninety nine, which came true.

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>He also for all the world's best chess player losing

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to a computer by the year two thousand, and He

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>predicted the widespread use supportable computers in various shapes and

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>sizes by two thousand and nine, Hello mister Apple iPhone.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>So he predicts that AI will surpass human intelligence and

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>pass the Cheuring test, which is basically a method of

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>inquiry for AI to determine whether or not the computer

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is capable of thinking like a human being. Se he

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>thinks that an AI will be able to think exactly

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>like a human and behave in human like ways asap

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>by like twenty thirty ish, and by twenty forty five,

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>we be able to merge with artificial intelligence, giving us

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>or granting us some kind of immortality. I ask people

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>very often, more often than you would think, if they

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>want to be alive forever, and it's very interesting to

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>see how people perceive living forever. A lot of people

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have responded and said, oh, you know, like no, like

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>life is so arduous, it's hard, it's heavy, it's not fun.

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to be here because I'm not like

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>game enough to like out, which is so wild to me,

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>because when I think of living forever, I'm like all

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the possibilities. Imagine I go to Egypt, I do some

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>personal pr I tell them I'm a descendant of Cleopatra.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't black, by the way. I think she was

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>like Greekish, which really because isn't that Netflix movie coming

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>out and they're like, clear, Patra wasn't black. Did you

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>guys do any research? But when I think about the

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>possibility of immortality, it's this idea that I sometimes feel

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>suffocated by the fact that we've chosen to live very

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>specific lives and it wasn't even like a really conscious choice. Ei.

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>There was a series of influenced decisions, forced decisions or

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>in third decisions, and now we just have to like

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>suck it up and do it. And so I'm down

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to try doing it differently, Like we've all seen True

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Blood If you've not, Eric Northman and Vampire Bill have

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>lived a thousand lives doing a thousand things, and honestly,

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't I'm not keen for that. Well, okay, I'd

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>rather not. Where do you want to go? I just

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>want to stay in life. Oh yeah, I don't want

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to I don't want to be a life for that long.

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh a good amount of time? Eighty five years? Good luck?

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>What about you? I mean, I'll be at your funeral.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm charging your entry for sure, and I'm also charging

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>for your secrets. What do you want to know? Okay,

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.399
<v Speaker 1>So in twenty twenty three and when we was talking

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>about that, I'm like, okay, so we're happen, guys spilling

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>selling and I'm writing a tell all three part series.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm cashing in, So yeah, feel free to go put

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>me in your will though one hundred percent the keeper

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of secrets. Yeah, and the funeral stylist. It'll be like,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna use AI to make the music you never released. Yeah, please,

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean in charge of through Me's a state I

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>will say. I feel as though the fact that like

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>AI conversation is so maintream is not helpful because it's

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>equal parts fear mongering, and I don't think the average

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>person will have anything meaningful to do with it in

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the long term. To be so inundated with like chat

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>GBD and whatever, whatever, whatever. The things that people are

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>showing us you can do with AI are so novelty.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And while we're being distracted with the novelty of like

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>pretending that Drake is singing country grammar, people are actually

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>using this to like annihilate like our current world is

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to date and we're like Oh, this is so funny. Yeah,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>we love deep fake. Oh it's concerning, but I'm happy

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to be alive for it. We have seen it all.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Imagine being our parents. They've really seen it all. They've

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>been through some shit, too much in one lifetime. Give

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>them a break. Please miss you already. Bye, that's fine.
