Yes, terrifying. Nothing terrifies me more than the thought of humanity reaching longevity escape velocity by 2030. I'm so terrified I'm going to have to sleep with the lights on tonight. Somebody hold me, please.
Absolutely trash article with a clickbait title. Baby's first reading of Kurzweil.

He always mentions the 2030s, which means between 2030 and 2040. It is certainly possible, but some people mistakenly think it will happen in 2030.

We have nanobot already, but not in science fiction sence, we can control a nano size structure using laser to make it contract and expand in order to move or capture other molecule.

Oh no, not an end to diseases and aging. Whatever will we do? What absolute trash.

It's certainly possible. But I've read his books, and his concepts to obtain immortality are through nanobots. Although I have great respect for this man, I'm have no clue where we are in terms of nano tech. I haven't read about any papers or notable research regarding this.
So yes, I think he is usually on to something when he makes his predictions, and I'm particularly in agreement with his AGI predictions, albeit he seems a little conservative compared to others, I'm not sure how quickly nano tech will advance to get us to the stage he expects by 2030.
