Thanks. Then why would someone waste bandwidth to start a thread from a known pack of liars, The Business Insider, on some employee Goggle hired? Short of news?

Then why would someone waste bandwidth to start a thread from a known pack of liars, The Business Insider, on some employee Goggle hired? Short of news?

I said nothing about Business Insider being a known pack of liars. What's undeniable is that this is an article in a business publication written by a reporter who did none of his own work but instead chose to misquote and sensationalize an already shallow article written in another publication. In summary, it was a silly article that left readers with a grossly distorted picture of Kurzweil, the Singularity, and other topics.

There are plenty of well-rounded, intelligent critiques and appraisals of Kurzweil's work and views that will actually give you a pretty good idea of who the man is and what he says, if you want them. This article was not one of them, and it did it's readers a dis-service.
