On quantum mechanics: the many-worlds interpretation probably shouldn’t be referred to as “his” interpretation (around before he was born, etc.), and there’s been some experimental work defending it (for example, entangling 10^4 particles and not seeing a certain kind of collapse), bit it’s not very strong evidence.
He also made a lot of super-wrong plans/predictions over a decade ago. But on the other hand, that was a while ago.
in case you haven’t seen it, a quote from the homepage of is website, yudkowsky.net:
My parents were early adopters, and I’ve been online since a rather young age. You should regard anything from 2001 or earlier as having been written by a different person who also happens to be named “Eliezer Yudkowsky”. I do not share his opinions.

For the record, what were those predictions? What are your sources?

Well, what bramflakes said, and also the highly overconfident (see: conjunction fallacy, among others) “plan to singularity”: http://yudkowsky.net/obsolete/plan.html .
