The AI 2027 report's authors claim an 85% accuracy rate so far, with nearly all late-2026 predictions confirmed (screenshots show 100%-confirmed items) and only a 10,000-person anti-AI DC protest outstanding. Critic thinkingshivers pushes back: the banal predictions being right says nothing about the report's non-obvious 'AI takes over the world' scenario. The exchange highlights the gap between capability extrapolation and catastrophic narrative in AI timeline forecasts.
