Last week a Google engineer broke a story about how Google has developed an AI that has become sentient. Said engineer was put on leave this week by Google. This is most likely cover for a public reveal. One of Google's key employees is Ray Kurzweil, one of the cheerleaders of the singularity, a term coined by Vernor Vinge. Kurzweil has been labeled a trans-humanist and advocate of life extension. We get into Kurzweil today and his ongoing legacy.
