What a shitty title.

Kurzweil has been right on tons of his predictions.

@Varyk

Name ten.

Yea, the bar is high for him.

Luckily, it’s kurzweil, so easy peasy:

1. Computers would feed humans at chess(happened in 1998)

2. Digital information explosion(The information on the internet rapidly becoming too much for the entire world to read)

3. Biotech becoming information technolog(genomex sequencing being heralded is the most important medical breakthrough of the century)

4. The inevitability of direct human computer interfacing (neuralink)

5. Life extension(cryonics/neuralink)

6. AI becoming a major industry(AI)

7. Computers built into eyeglasses(google glass)

8. Cpu processing speed explosion(Moore’s law)

9. PCs would be able to answer questions wirelessly (search engines and the internet)

10. Exoskeletons render the disabled able (3d printable prosthetic limbs)

There are many, many more correct predictions by this guy

@Varyk @jonhendry Neuralink? How's that going? I presume extremely well with no problems, I haven't got time to check right now

Why did you think it was working well with no problems?

One of the first successful human-cpu interfaces?

You hecka optimistic.

I mean, it’s pretty crazy how well the design did work considering it’s the first of its kind.

The latest thing I saw, a bunch of the wires are becoming detached from the very first prototype, which of course is being worked into the subsequent models.

You mean the very first prototype?

It worked surprisingly well for a surprisingly long amount of time, but now the wires are detaching as the design team had foreseen, and the design is being improved.

Do you not know how inventions work?
