    Sorry, I tried to make sense of your comment, but I can’t figure out what you’re referring to, which source your paraphrase is based on or what makes it relevant here.

      Kurzweil couldn’t admit he made a mistake even though it was based on unforeseen circumstances. Because his entire ego and income was based on predicting the future.

      If he said, “Moore’s law is dead.” People might say, “Well why didn’t you foresee that.”

        I get that part. I’m just not sure why you fon’t think he ever said he made a mistake (or why that’s relevant to his many correct predictions).

        Are you just saying that in your personal opinion you doubt he ever admitted specifically that Moore’s law was dead?

          I quoted 25% accuracy with a reporter that looked at his predictions. You claimed 86% accuracy with the source being Kurzweil himself.

          I didn’t say he was wrong about everything.

            That’s good, that would be ridiculous.

            Enjoy the read.
