A simple google search pulls up numerous books he has written regarding creating machine intelligence\/AI that date back nearly 30 years. Beginning with 1990&#8217;s &#8220;The Age of Intelligent Machines&#8221; through 2005&#8217;s &#8220;The Singularity is Near&#8221; (also a movie of the same name) and, more recently, 2012&#8217;s &#8220;How to Create a Mind&#8221;. I will keep my own supporting thoughts brief, and end it there; but after seeing the limitless possibilities posited by Dr. Kurzweil in &#8220;The Singularity&#8221; to the very select few who would possess an almost God-Like intelligence, it would go a long way towards explaining the complete control over all the &#8216;drone&#8217; hosts Dr Ford possesses within his park, as well as having an encyclopedic knowledge of all his guests\/employees actions and histories.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for hopefully sharing my own original Tin Foil Hat Theory (fingers crossed on entry into the Hall of Fame on this week&#8217;s Telegram), also sorry for all the run-on sentences.
