Ray Kurzweil Joins Google As Director of Engineering

Posted by timothy on from the what-are-you-searching-for dept.

dgharmon points out news at CNET and on Ray Kurzweil's own site that Kurzweil will join Google as Director of Engineering. Specifically, "he will be joining Google to work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing," which sounds to me like another way to say "quickening the singularity."

    "he will be joining Google to work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing," sounds like reasonably plain English.

      "quickening the singularity" sounds like pretentious gibberish.
