I recall hearing a claim that a lot of Kurzweil’s predictions for 2009 had come true by 2019, including many that hadn’t happened yet in 2009. If true, that supports the picture of Kurzweil as an insightful but overly aggressive futurist. But I don’t know how well that claim backed up by the data, or if there even has been a careful look at the data to try to evaluate that claim.
