He originally predicted mid 21st century which everyone scoffed at, but his prediction is still looking good.
This part is particularly wild to me:
“In the early 2030s we can expect to reach longevity escape velocity where every year of life we lose through aging we get back from scientific progress,” Kurzweil told The Guardian. “And as we move past that, we’ll actually get back more years. It isn’t a solid guarantee of living forever—there are still accidents—but your probability of dying won’t increase year to year.”
Gonna be interesting how AGI impacts sports as well.
