Not a good time for humanity, the ai singularity is here

Maybe a hundred-fold more complex, with a lot more happening at the dendrite level than was believed when Kurtzweill estimated a few years ago that it would be happening around 2029. So now I'm thinking around 2050-2060 if everything holds steady (which it probably won't, one way or the other).

Kurzweil seems to be good at predicting the future.
My bet is on Kurzweil for human level brain machines for 2029!

Even though human brains may be much more complex than Kurzweil knew when he made that prediction? I roughly agreed with Kurzweil's prediction until I found out what's going on with recent neurological focus on dendrites.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
