Interview with Michael Anissimov
Check out yet another great interview from RU Sirius: Give me immortality or give me death!
RU: I guess what I don’t believe is that [the Singularity] necessarily becomes a complete disjunction in history.
MA: But don’t you think that homo sapiens are a quite complete disjunction from, say, homo erectus or chimps? We share 98% of the same DNA. So what if you actually used technology to surpass the human mind? I think you’d have something substantially more different from homo sapiens than homo sapiens was from their predecessors.
