The terms of the bet are fairly stringent (2 hour interviews, both sides get some say on judges). Given that, there's no way Kurzweil could win given current tech. He will have to hope for a lot more progress before 2029.

You seem doubtful that there will be a lot more progress. It's been well documented how much progress we have been through and how many new paradigms have arisen when we think we can't progress.

It's spectacularly short-sighted, in my opinion, to assume that we won't make progress.

Also, some of the prompted or fine-tuned LLMs today are actually very close.
