I just saw trailers for Angie Tribeca on the hotel TVs during my vacation. I'm hopeful.

These guys write for Angie Tribeca, don't they?

"Angie Tribeca" The least funny "comedy" show ever devised by mankind. It's like C-SPAN tried to reboot Police Squad! using video from filibusters.

I saw this at Tribeca... it's really good. Randi is a hero.

So THAT'S what they were doing at Washington Market Park in Tribeca that day!!! I've actually seen these guys shoot this very video at this very location at that very hour at that very geographic location at that very country at that very continent at that very planet at that very universe!!!

UPDATE:

I've been contacted by the filmmaker. The film will not be available.

At the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, his short home won for "Best Short Documentary"!!!

This film just debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival at the end of April. The trailer is a bit "emotional", but from the reviews I've read the movie itself is very balanced.


Kurzweil is a very smart man. A lot of his predictions seem unlikely, but when you read more into his evidence it makes more sense. If nothing else he is extremely good at modeling the growth of information technologies. I agree with his predictions in theory, but there is a lot of potential for social issues and legislation to slow things down.

I'm fairly confident that at some point we will be able to build artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence. It may not be as soon as Kurzweil thinks, but it will probably happen at some point. Beyond that, technological progress will increase even faster.


Either way, Kurzweil is mainly trying to popularize a positive view of the future and technological advance. There are a lot of people in the world, including lawmakers, who mainly see the dangers of high technology and could greatly slow its advance with laws and social opposition. If he can get more people looking forward to the future rather of fearing it then there is less chance for any major resistance to the changes.

somehow she managed to IMPROVE the looks of that Tribeca by smashing it a bit.

Bit of a prima donna there. He does seem very non-energetic, but that's how he acts.

BTW, is he talking about the Tribeca the film festival?
