You aren’t pointing out mistakes, you’re fumbling technicalities on a limited number of points because you can’t find anything substantive wrong with his predictions.
You claim having both the date and the actual prediction wrong is a technicality. With that criteria, a wrong prediction is impossible.
Yes, he did have some accurate predictions. From the Forbes article where the author went through them all and highlighted a few, Kurzweil was about 25% correct.

No, I don’t, but I understand how pretending I said something I didn’t supports your false rebuttals.
Oh, a curated list with the intent to slander?
Here’s a more complete and correct list showing that his predictions are correct 86% of the time.

That’s the list that I referenced earlier where Kurzweil rated himself.
That’s cool that he changed his name to Dominic for the article.
