I am very curious what will come out of this. Does Kurzweil really have some insightful ideas that will help advance AI? He used to be quite the technocrat, but I have the feeling that he is more a philosopher these days than a technical person. But maybe progress toward a new philosophical approach is exactly what the AI needs... comments sought!

(I noticed about six weeks ago that Google's voice transcription tech got way better, and thought it might have to do with Kurzweil. Probably no connection though?)
