为什么值得读
- 给出机器超越人类智能的详细推演时间线
- 重塑读者思考技术可能性与未来的思维方式
- 从信息自我复制的视角重新审视意识产生
想象一个人类与机器的界限模糊、人性与技术的分野消退、灵魂与硅基芯片融为一体的世界。这不是 science fiction。根据我们时代最具创新性与吸引力的技术发明家 Ray Kurzweil 的看法，这就是 21 世纪。在他充满灵感的描摹下，新千年的生活不再显得令人生畏。相反，它预示着一个人类感性与 artificial intelligence 深度融合的时代，将从根本上改变并改善我们的生活方式。这远不止是一系列预测

我强烈推荐库兹韦尔的《心灵机器时代》（The Age of Spiritual Machines），里面有大量诸如此类的预测，还附带详细的时间线。在他看来，在计算机上模拟人类水平的智能，纯粹就是算力够不够的问题，他……
I highly recommend Kurzweil's "The Age of Spiritual Machines" for many predictions like these, with a detailed timeline. According to him, being able to simulate human-level intelligence on a computer is simple matter of having enough processing power, which he…
……我的思维方式（楼上提到的《查理·芒格——人类误判心理学》大概是这本书里最精彩的一篇）。另一本是我15或16岁时读的雷·库兹韦尔写的《心灵机器时代：当计算机超越人类智能》（The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence）。我不再带着“这为什么行不通”的眼光看世界，而是开始思考问题在什么情况下……
…my way of thinking ( "Charlie Munger - The Psychology of Human Misjudgment", listed in the parent post is probably the best piece in this book.) The other book, which I read when I was 15 or 16, "The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence" by Ray Kurzweil was the other. Instead of looking at the universe through the question of why won't this work, I began thinking about problems as under what…
……其次，曾经遥不可及的科幻如今要么已成现实，要么触手可及。《星球大战》《星际迷航》里对未来和太空旅行的设想，短短几十年后就已经显得过时了。十多年前我碰巧读了雷·库兹韦尔的《心灵机器时代》，它彻底改变了我对人生诸多事情的思考方式。（我怀疑要是没读过它，我退学去创业的决心绝对不会……
…Secondly, the things that were distant science fiction now exist or is within reach. The Star Wars/Star Trek view of the future and space travel mere decades later has become archaic. I happened to read "The Age of Spiritual Machines" by Ray Kurzweil over a decade ago. It completely changed my thought process in regards to much of life. (I doubt without it I would have been as strongly convicted about dropping out of college and starting…
……智能只是信息（思想、文化、语言、技术）以更快速度自我繁衍的另一种形式。信息/思想有欲望吗？它渴望被复制吗？雷·库兹韦尔在《心灵机器时代》[1]一书中有更详细的论述。你凭什么觉得机器智能就产生不了某种需求/渴望？真正的AI不需要靠编程来实现，它能像人类一样学习，通过……
…intelligence is another process for information (ideas, culture, language, technology) to reproduce at a faster pace. Does information/ideas have wants? Does it want to be copied? Ray Kurzweil's book "The Age of Spiritual Machines" [1] describes this in more detail. Why do you think machine intelligence can't develop a need/want for anything? True AI wouldn't need to be programmed, it would be able to learn like humans do, by…
想了解库兹韦尔在2000年左右到底预测了些什么，可以去读读他的《心灵机器时代》。里面有些预测错得离谱，有些又乐观过了头，但依然是一本相当有趣的读物。
For what Kurzweil actually predicted around 2000, check out his book The Age of Spiritual Machines. It's wildly wrong about some things and overly optimistic about others, but still a pretty interesting read.
1. 雷·库兹韦尔的《心灵机器时代》（2000年）。这本未来主义书籍在我年纪还小的时候，彻底激发了我对技术可能性的想象力。书中不少预测在今天都已成真。2. 《创新公司》（Creativity Inc.，2014年）……
1. "The Age of Spiritual Machines" (2000) by Ray Kurzweil. This futurist book sparked my imagination at a young age as to what was possible with technology. Several of its predictions that have come true today. 2. "Creativity Inc." (2014)…
