I have. Ray was great, except Samantha Bee was not funny (more like weird and awkward). At least in my opinion. :)

It was over too soon! But I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Kurzweil is humorous and personable. In the interview, he hit the major points which would be of interest to, and easily accessible by, the Colbert audience, IMO. Well done!

Great interview! I can see it being informative for those new to the idea of the Singularity! Ray held his own quite well to Stephen Colbert razzing him. I very much enjoyed it.

It would be neat if there were a singularity in the media section.

"It would be neat if there were a singularity in the media section."

 

That would be great! I wonder how long that will take. I imagine the fringe media will do this first, then eventually the mainstream media will have to follow suit in order to stay topical.

Actually I meant a "Singularity in the Media" discussion forum on this site.

There is now a section called "Singularity in the mainstream", and I created topic threads with the same titles in that new section, so this discussion can now continue there.
