I think the knee jerk resistance about “muh Billionaires” to any progress in reversing aging is just people’s deathism defense mechanisms kicking in.

> “In tests, the company found that treated mice lived on for another 18 weeks on average. Those who were not treated in a control group only lived for another nine weeks. Overall, they say, the gene hacked mice lived roughly seven percent longer overall”

Almost nonexistent. Most countries are thinking “either we and our allies develop AGI, or our adversaries do”; it’s basic game theory.

The only countries I could see doing this are backwards primitivist countries like Middle Eastern ones, and even then it is very unlikely. We see countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE who are very pro-development.

Lot of “it’s time to retire ___ new thing” articles lately. We must be at the “and then they fight you” stage.

Longtermism is a very interesting philosophy. I think most people are aware it’s correct, but we don’t talk about it because of the implications. Kind of like veganism or the anti-abortion movement.

Lmao SpaceX is going to beat Boeing to the moon despite them not making the rockets for the Artemis mission? Lmao. Absolutely embarrassing.

We already have the answer we don’t exactly need a supercomputer to tell us how we stop climate change.

What they really help to do is model climate change predictions much more accurately. Predictions we wouldn’t need so much if we simply polluted less.

I doubt this is as major as it sounds. But if it’s even slightly as big as it sounds; this is huge. This could absolutely accelerate medical progress

The #1 reason CRISPR isn’t as transformative of a technology as it should be is because the FDA is stuck in the 20th century.

You can’t because the name would be 1 character too long. That is likely why they dropped the second L.

Because oddly enough, the sub name is spelled incorrectly.

The obvious one: r/transhumanism

The energy crisis that Europe is facing is a temporary speedbump, like the oil crisis of the 70’s for the US. This will accelerate the transition to green energy. With this accelerating transition and Fusion research, I estimate that pretty much all of Humanity’s energy woes will be entirely eliminated by 2100.

I made my guess of 2060 as a general average of when experts thing that we will create a super intelligence. The “singularity never” crowd is a minority that really lateshifts that estimate.

In 10-20 years, yeah progress will continue to accelerate.

>Will progress always go up?

Likely no. Humanity will still be limited by what is physically possible. The exception is if we find a way to create new universes or travel to other ones. Then here likely is no roof to our progress. Either way, this progress cap is so far in the future it is on absolutely nobody’s radar.

>Are we really creating AGI and it’s not far away?

Hard to tell. I am in the camp that AGI will likely happen in the 2060’s because that is the scholarly consensus among machine learning experts. Likely we will achieve many things very early with AI that we wouldn’t have assumed was possible, but also be behind actually achieving AGI.

>Won’t the energy crisis bury the dream of the Singularity?

Probably not. Humanity’s ability to create and output energy is increasing all the time. Considering increasing energy output and a stagnating global population, it likely won’t be an issue. Especially since models are likely to become much more energy efficient.

To be fair; that is basically the spirit of the sub

Now we just need sex robots to take over prostitution
