"We aren’t giving “good jobs” to robots. Most of the time we are giving them
jobs we could never do. Without them, these jobs would remain undone." -
Kurzweil
PM: In many cases, yes. I agree.
"Everyone will have access to a personal robot, but simply owning one will not
guarantee success. Rather, success will go to those who innovate in the
organization, optimization, and customization of the process of getting work
done with bots and machines. " - Kurzweil
PM: Will "everyone" have access to a personal robot? really? I dont' think so.
Not everyone has a PC or cell phone or internet access, today.
"This is not a race against the machines. If we race against them, we lose.
This is a race with the machines." - Kurzweil
"We need to let robots take over. They will do jobs we have been doing, and do
them much better than we can. They will do jobs we can’t do at all. They will
do jobs we never imagined even needed to be done. And they will help us
discover new jobs for ourselves, new tasks that expand who we are. They will
let us focus on becoming more human than we were." - Kurzweil
PM: If this is truly the case, then why fear the Singularity? The day they
take over? Why not do as Kurzweil suggests and go with the flow? Ahhh,
there's the rub.
Mike Tinter: Kurzweil works so hard & you can’t even read his newsletter
