We regret to inform you that Ray Kurzweil is back on his bullshit
The Google futurist talks nanobots and avatars, deepfakes and elections – and why he is so optimistic about a future where we merge with computers
You're viewing part of a thread.
Nope, you are straight-up lying.
The claim: kurzweil has "tons [this means "a lot"] of corect predictions".
Your parameters:
-
Pointedly gnoring at least 100 of his predictions that critics agree carne true
-
incorrectly assuming he made all the 2009 predictions and wrote the book in a single day January 1, 1999, the day the book was published and printed
-
Arguing insignificant details of a minority of my personal offhand examples illustrating his predictions rather than addressing the actual predictions kurzweil makes
Your arguments, assumptions, misdirects and mistakes are not germane to the original correct statement that kurzweil has many correct predictions, and despite your efforts have proved yourself that even by your restrictive conditions, the majority of his predictions are true.
The statement "Kurzweil made tons of correct predictions is true.
You've been swinging and missing for days now, and you aren't even on the field.
Don't let me stop you, though.
You can't say he wrote the book before 1999 and then ignore that products are announced before they are released too.
You haven't listed the 100 correct predictions from his 1999 book. I started with the 2009 predictions to give Kurzweil the best percentage possible. Longer predictions are less accurate.
I'm not saying that.
You're making more incorrect assumptions.
You said 100, now you claim you aren't saying that.
You are confused or a liar. This is beyond boring.
You're incorrect again.
I said at least a hundred predictions on top of the 40 odd you want to talk about.
You aren't able to retain more than the most immediately recent comment.
This is your own burden and nobody else's.
iII said at least a hundred predictions on top of the 40 odd you want to talk about.
Stop lying. It's boring.
List your 100 with exact sources.I get it, you're bummed you can't convince anyone and you've lost the argument.
I'm pretty happy about it, though, so I'll leave you to do your own digging.
You need to learn one day.
You: "Pointedly ignoring his 100 predictions that came true "
Me: list them.
You: that's not what I meant.
Stop lying.
