I still remember this one from 2016 very well:

A Driverless Tesla Will Travel From L.A. to NYC by 2017, Says Musk

Really not that far off in the grand scheme of things IMO.

Ray Kurzweil was even more on the money in his 2006 book "The singularity is near". I remember reading some of the stuff in there that is now happening. From the top of my head he predicted 2030 for human-level AI hardware and software that could be bought for 1000 USD by anyone. I feel he's going to be very close.

Hey, this is perhaps a bit random.

But do you want to chat a bit about your math journey? I saw it here [1]. I'm curious about it. If you're (potentially) up for it, my email is in my profile.

Cheers!

Not much to it. Was bored, had some spare cash, was fed up of being an imposter at a stats/mathematics org and decided to get a degree. Did all the modules, got the paper. Took 6 years.

k, now do a list of drunk driver crashes.

2020. "Based on the above analyses, it is reasonable to expect the hardware that can emulate human-brain functionality to be available for approximately one thousand dollars by around 2020."
