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