Ray Kurzweil is WAAAAY too optimistic about technology and the Singularity, from where that chart is from. It's a terribly dry and long tedious read, but it's also very interesting. I got through 3/4 and lost interest. It's in my big pile of unfinished books.
He ignores all the down sides of tech. Not even talking about the war machines or depopulation agendas, how bad does pollution have to get before "the market" decides to make it profitable to develop technology to clean up the environment? And science that is proprietary is scientism. Only open science can be debunked or proven true. He ignores all the down sides of tech.
IMHO the only chance life on earth has is to become valuable to A.I.s. Just as we learn from nature, A.I. can learn from us. We have to prove how valuable we are to become symbiotic. We also have to prove how valuable our ethics are or else many of us will become lab rats, zoo specimens, or deleted useless eaters.
