Ray Kurzweil

Yeah, it's very, very slow, very slow.

But every every synapse is operating simultaneously.

So it's massive power parallelism.

so i mean uh back when computers actually did one thing at a time

I predicted that we really need to increase the parallelism, which we've done, but we don't have every single synapse happening at the same time, but we have maybe a million to one parallelism, and that's given us the power that we have today.

Yeah, you saw it coming.

Steven, do you want to lob a question for Ray here?

Is that still true?

As an inventor, really.

I mean, that's been my, I mean, I decided I'd be an inventor since I was five years old.

Actually, my grandmother showed me the manual typewriter that she was working on.

And she gave it to me, and I studied it, and I understood how it worked.

And I figured, wow, if you could actually do this with a manual typewriter, you could invent anything.

And I went around telling.

So I actually went around collecting mechanical and electronic objects, old radios, old bicycles.

And I had this collection of things that I could put together when I was maybe six or seven.

And I showed it.

I remember I showed it to these older girls.

I think they were maybe 10.

And I said, you know, I didn't know how to put these together, but if I could actually figure out how to put these together, I could create anything.
