Go to Dan Luu's evaluation (https://danluu.com/futurist-predictions/), search for "Appendix: detailed information on predictions". Seems like Kurzweil's has a huge number of awful predictions. This is from four years ago, so a few things are closer to being real now. But many things he predicted for the early 2000s still haven't arrived.
To be clear I’m not saying he got everything right but if you look at the missed ones, many were/are possible technically
What’s the value of predictions if they’re not good enough to make decisions on?
