A hypermodern new input tied to an obsoleted user interface device.. Clicks? Canâ(TM)t think of anything more imaginative? I understand some common ground (familiar territory?) is needed but I could imagine way more interesting combinations than pointing device. .. industrial robot arm perhaps? Or if it needed to be a pointing device, something pressure sensitive like a pen? (drawing tablet?)

Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form 366

destinyland writes "AI researcher Ben Goertzel peeks at the new Ray Kurzweil movie (Transcendent Man), and gives it 'two nano-enhanced cyberthumbs way, way up!' But in an exchange with Kurzweil after the screening, Goertzel debates the post-human future, asking whether individuality can survive in a machine-augmented brain. The documentary covers radical futurism, but also includes alternate viewpoints. 'Would I build these machines, if I knew there was a strong chance they would destroy humanity?' asks evolvable hardware researcher Hugo de Garis. His answer? 'Yeah.'" Note, the movie is about Kurzweil and futurism, not by Kurzweil. Update: 05/06 20:57 GMT by T : Note, Singularity Hub has a review up, too.
