Ok, I was thinking that probably they were saying that he was accidentally right, but missed the timing. It's not that. It isn't that he was accidentally right in a certain scenario also. It's that "I reinterpret the prediction to make it fit my own vision of the world"... that's not how prediction works. Hell that's not how anything would work.
Here's an actual prediction I made about a year ago: LLMs have to demonstrate that they make productivity gains that explain the costs or economics will make this problem solve itself, via higher energy cost and loss of business/productivity.
That prediction is unbound in the time horizon but it's bound by conditions that explain the triggers and how they will behave. Such prediction is useful. Hell, I could even make a prediction on why the timeline can't be bound while making a prediction on the timeline: I predict that in the next 3-5 years this will have to solve itself, because there's a limit on how much money irrational actors can pour onto something that have limited value. 7-10 years is way too much. I at least hope their coffers are that deep... if this drags on long enough, at some point people are going to want a change
