Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast. There's a futurist. His name
Speaker 1: is Ray, and he claims that we will reach immortality
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty. What is the year right now? Twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three? We don't you said twenty thirteen, I mean
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Sorry, well you really asked Buck in
Speaker 1: the archives nostalgical. We don't even have harvocas. We're still
Speaker 1: using literal cash and physical keys. Yet for some reason,
Speaker 1: Ray believes that we will reach immortality by twenty thirty.
Speaker 1: You might be thinking, why would I listen to a
Speaker 1: futurist called Ray? What are raised credentials? Please? Well, he's
Speaker 1: made one hundred and forty seven predictions with an eighty
Speaker 1: six percent accuracy rate, so it kind of makes sense
Speaker 1: that he's that's a pretty that's like a b pretty
Speaker 1: good though for like having no you know, coming off
Speaker 1: the dome. He foresaw consumers designing their own clothes from
Speaker 1: home with computers by nineteen ninety nine, which came true.
Speaker 1: He also for all the world's best chess player losing
Speaker 1: to a computer by the year two thousand, and He
Speaker 1: predicted the widespread use supportable computers in various shapes and
Speaker 1: sizes by two thousand and nine, Hello mister Apple iPhone.
Speaker 1: So he predicts that AI will surpass human intelligence and
Speaker 1: pass the Cheuring test, which is basically a method of
Speaker 1: inquiry for AI to determine whether or not the computer
Speaker 1: is capable of thinking like a human being. Se he
Speaker 1: thinks that an AI will be able to think exactly
Speaker 1: like a human and behave in human like ways asap
Speaker 1: by like twenty thirty ish, and by twenty forty five,
Speaker 1: we be able to merge with artificial intelligence, giving us
Speaker 1: or granting us some kind of immortality. I ask people
Speaker 1: very often, more often than you would think, if they
Speaker 1: want to be alive forever, and it's very interesting to
Speaker 1: see how people perceive living forever. A lot of people
Speaker 1: have responded and said, oh, you know, like no, like
Speaker 1: life is so arduous, it's hard, it's heavy, it's not fun.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be here because I'm not like
Speaker 1: game enough to like out, which is so wild to me,
Speaker 1: because when I think of living forever, I'm like all
Speaker 1: the possibilities. Imagine I go to Egypt, I do some
Speaker 1: personal pr I tell them I'm a descendant of Cleopatra.
Speaker 1: She wasn't black, by the way. I think she was
Speaker 1: like Greekish, which really because isn't that Netflix movie coming
Speaker 1: out and they're like, clear, Patra wasn't black. Did you
Speaker 1: guys do any research? But when I think about the
Speaker 1: possibility of immortality, it's this idea that I sometimes feel
Speaker 1: suffocated by the fact that we've chosen to live very
Speaker 1: specific lives and it wasn't even like a really conscious choice. Ei.
Speaker 1: There was a series of influenced decisions, forced decisions or
Speaker 1: in third decisions, and now we just have to like
Speaker 1: suck it up and do it. And so I'm down
Speaker 1: to try doing it differently, Like we've all seen True
Speaker 1: Blood If you've not, Eric Northman and Vampire Bill have
Speaker 1: lived a thousand lives doing a thousand things, and honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not keen for that. Well, okay, I'd
Speaker 1: rather not. Where do you want to go? I just
Speaker 1: want to stay in life. Oh yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to I don't want to be a life for that long.
Speaker 1: Oh a good amount of time? Eighty five years? Good luck?
Speaker 1: What about you? I mean, I'll be at your funeral.
Speaker 1: I'm charging your entry for sure, and I'm also charging
Speaker 1: for your secrets. What do you want to know? Okay,
Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty three and when we was talking
Speaker 1: about that, I'm like, okay, so we're happen, guys spilling
Speaker 1: selling and I'm writing a tell all three part series.
Speaker 1: I'm cashing in, So yeah, feel free to go put
Speaker 1: me in your will though one hundred percent the keeper
Speaker 1: of secrets. Yeah, and the funeral stylist. It'll be like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use AI to make the music you never released. Yeah, please,
Speaker 1: I mean in charge of through Me's a state I
Speaker 1: will say. I feel as though the fact that like
Speaker 1: AI conversation is so maintream is not helpful because it's
Speaker 1: equal parts fear mongering, and I don't think the average
Speaker 1: person will have anything meaningful to do with it in
Speaker 1: the long term. To be so inundated with like chat
Speaker 1: GBD and whatever, whatever, whatever. The things that people are
Speaker 1: showing us you can do with AI are so novelty.
Speaker 1: And while we're being distracted with the novelty of like
Speaker 1: pretending that Drake is singing country grammar, people are actually
Speaker 1: using this to like annihilate like our current world is
Speaker 1: to date and we're like Oh, this is so funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love deep fake. Oh it's concerning, but I'm happy
Speaker 1: to be alive for it. We have seen it all.
Speaker 1: Imagine being our parents. They've really seen it all. They've
Speaker 1: been through some shit, too much in one lifetime. Give
Speaker 1: them a break. Please miss you already. Bye, that's fine.
