		Are We Spiritual Machines?: Ray Kurzweil vs. the Critics of Strong A.I. by George F. Gilder
		In The Age of Intelligent Machines, inventor and visionary computer scientist Raymond Kurzweil probes the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence, from its earliest philosophical and mathematical roots to tantalizing glimpses of 21st-century machines with superior intelligence and truly prodigious speed and memory.
		He was the principal developer of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind and other significant advances in artificial intelligence technology.

	War in the Age of Intelligent Machines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The machinic phylum, seen as technology's own internal dynamics and cutting edge, could still be seen shining through the brilliant civilian discoveries of the transistor and the integrated chip, which had liberated electronic circuit designs from the constraints on their possible complexity.
		This disconnexion of the war machines from the machinic phylum, of the military institution from the social formation, may result in such erratic war machines that becomes nomads because of lack of political control: if battles are not strategically ordered following political objectives, than even their victories become meaningless.
		Thus, Napoleon's armies, born from the 1789 French Revolution, marked a new treshold of the machinic phylum, or singularities or bifurcation: emergent properties are displayed in this "evolution" from the "clockwork paradigm" to the "motor paradigm".

	Tips 03 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As I noted in the last section of the previous chapter, the strengths of today's machine intelligence are quite different from those of human intelligence and in many ways complement it.
		This early phase of the age of intelligent machines is providing us with obedient servants that are not yet intelligent enough to question our demands of them.
		Clearly, the subtleness and intelligence of the behavior of machines at those different levels of complexity are quite different.

	The Age of Intelligent Machines - The MIT Press
		In The Age of Intelligent Machines, inventor and visionary computer scientist Raymond Kurzweil probes the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence, from its earliest philosophical and mathematical roots to tantalizing glimpses of 21st-century machines with superior intelligence and truly prodigious speed and memory.
		Generously illustrated and easily accessible to the nonspecialist, this book provides the background needed for a full understanding of the enormous scientific potential represented by intelligent machines as well as their equally profound philosophic, economic, and social implications.
		He was the principal developer of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind and other significant advances in artificial intelligence technology.

	The Age of Spiritual Machines samples from Ray Kurzweil's
		In turn, machines to card and comb the wool to feed the new mechanized spinning machines were developed in the 1780s.
		The spectre of machine intelligence competing even tangentially with that of its creator once again threatens our view of who we are.
		he revolution manifest in the age of intelligent machines is in its earliest stages.

	Reading List: The Age of Spiritual Machines
		The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurzweil.
		Kurzweil, artificial intelligence expert and author of The Age of Intelligent Machines, shows that technological evolution moves at an exponential pace.
		The Age of Spiritual Machines is compelling and accessible, and not necessarily best read from front to back--it's less heavily historical if you jump around (Kurzweil encourages this).

	Gilder Technology
		Marvin Minsky has said that a prime discovery of the AI Movement is that the bulk of human intelligence is acquired during the first year—all the perception and motor-skills and hearing, and all the perceptive mechanisms of the brain.
		So the key lesson of the age of intelligent machines is that knowledge is power.
		This is an age when entrepreneurs can flash their capital down fiber-optic cables and bounce it off satellites, send it around the world in microseconds, and the entrepreneur can follow it in hours on a 747, and he can move his company in weeks.

	The Age of Spiritual Machines: A Review
		Perhaps, of course, this is one of Ray Kurzweil's tantalizing IQ tests, like the confident discussions of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, augmented personalities and the like which do recur insistently throughout the text (how many readers actually know how a photon behaves?).
		We live in an age of unbelief, of mathematical explanation, which comes to the edge of the Great Sea of the mystic, and stops there, uncertain and basically helpless.
		A book to be recommended for discussion and guidance in the fields of computing and machine-human intelligence, but, regrettably, of limited value for spiritual guidance.

	Rum and Monkey: View topic - The Age Of Spiritual Machines - Ray Kurzweil
		Pocket-sized reading machines for the blind and visually impaired, "listening machines" (speech-to-text conversion) for the deaf, and computer- controlled orthotic devices for paraplegic individuals result in a growing perception that primary disabilities do not necessarily impart handicaps.
		Machine-based intelligences derived from extended models of human intelligence claim to be human, although their brains are not based on carbon-based cellular processes, but rather electronic and photonic equivalents.
		Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, allowing nonbiological intelligence to combine the subtleties of human intelligence with the speed and knowledge sharing ability of machines.
