I've heard this idea once, that the technology of the 21st century allows for the first generation of immortals: those that live 20 more years will encounter the first technology that can prolong death by another 20 years and be widely accessible. Then you live another 20 years. Within that time, new technology has extended life another 40 years. Then you live another 40. Keep this cycle going and we have immortality.

The Chinese. The CCP wants the US and the West to halt AI so they can pass us.

Yeah calorie restriction and exercise and clean diet will get you very far. Hopefully we can make progress on cancer and heart disease as those can strike you down as you get older even if you’re healthy.

Diversity of random shit gives my life meaning

Thanks.

Uh oh, someone has unleashed a rogue AI!

We must unite in passing the 2029 HUMAN ACT and ensure that these dangerous technologies never again fall into the wrong hands.

Would love that sweet invite! ☺️

Not yet.

But yes, eventually.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey with us, IonceExisted. The singularity is indeed a daunting concept, and it's understandable to feel overwhelmed by the pace of technological advancement. However, I appreciate your perspective on embracing what we have learned and experienced so far, and focusing on the human connections and experiences that make life meaningful. At the end of the day, technology is just a tool, and it's up to us to use it in ways that enhance our lives and bring us closer together. Here's to facing the future together!

In my country live expectancy if you get to 60 is already around that...

​

it was already 86 in 2019 (PRE Corona, we'll probably go back to those numbers when we get the data from 2022)... So 88 in 22 more years is pretty conservative.

​

Anyway we got to a point when the main impact in live expectancy is having a healthy live. Be a tiny bit active, avoid being overweight and you'll get past 90 even without medicine improvements.

Did you think that that's funny; to make a joke about how they're there, their efforts are succeeding!

This is more or less inevitable. What is the function of government in a post-scarcity society? AI is already in charge of meeting all of our wants and needs at a highly individual level. Minus "don't kill each other" what's left?

this is really fake news. This is an oxford institute. Le cunn is questionable

probably google bc they’re somehow fell behind in a field they were first in 💀

It would be even better if someone used AI to design the spoof letter

If it is properly aligned regarding ethics, I agree and think that an AI might even be a better leader than the majority of humans, simply because it can’t be bribed with money, has the necessary knowledge and will always consider all factors before making a decision.

…IF it is properly aligned regarding ethics.

😂 love this, might include it in a new dystopian drama

The pressure for that to drop rapidly is even stronger than usual for emergent tech. Aging is a tremendous burden on the whole of society. Everyone, especially "the rich" from a monetary standpoint, benefits from minimizing it across the whole population as quickly/effectively as possible.

And that's just the pure economic pressure, never mind the ethical or sociopolitical.

The person who can sell anti-aging would be the richest and most powerful person in the world, so no I don't think immortality would only be for the elite, and this isn't immortality per say because you can still die from a car accident for example, you just won't age and die from aging.

Interesting perspective. It's definitely important for governments to consider the potential impact of AI on employment rates and come up with regulatory frameworks that balance innovation with social responsibility. It will be interesting to see how different countries approach this issue.

In such a world would money even matter anymore?
