This results in what Kurzweil calls double exponential exponential growth – the technology itself becomes twice as efficient, and does so increasingly quickly.

This is a concept that Kurzweil coined (LOAR) or Law of Accelerating Returns.

Kurzweil kept all of his father's records, notes, and pictures in order to maintain as much of his father as he could.

From our perspective the AI would appear like a god, and become a very close replica of an actual person. These dystopian theories are stating that once the AI is one thousand times smarter than us, no one can know if the AI would be capable of turning against humanity, rather than reflect the human values we want them to foster.

"If you look at video games and how we went from pong to the virtual reality we have available today, it is highly likely that immortality in essence will be possible." In Transcendent Man Kurzweil states "We humans are going to start linking with each other and become a metaconnection we will all be connected and all be omni-present, plugged into this global network that is connected to billions of people, and filled with data."

Most of the movie has an implication of a religious background, and is applying technology to accomplish the goals with what is considered to be "god like" powers, through interdependent connection. Kurzweil has been criticized as being a modern day prophet, however the film describes a detailed list of his inventions. Ray's dedication to improving the blind's quality of life is displayed in the climax of the film, with his miniature blind reading tool. Ray speaks of emailing someone a blouse, or printing out a toaster utilizing nanotechnology. Eventually swarms of our nanotechnology will be sent by us into the universe to as Kurzweil puts it "wake up the universe".

At the end of the film, Kurzwiel states, if I was asked if god exists, I would say no.

…where humans become subservient to machine and live on a farm, and the singularity is the point where humans lose control to the intelligent machines. Warwick basically spells doom for anyone who is human after singularity.
