This is not psychopathy; it’s risky intellectual honesty. Nearly 2 years ago, I warned that pursuing a PhD for years was becoming pointless in most fields, for most people & PhD programs should be cut 50% immediately. Based on AI advances, it should now be reduced at least 80%!

The human brain has an extraordinary ability to make peace with & cope with what seems inevitable, including our own aging & death. In fact, I believe this was one of the most important psychological survival mechanisms we developed as conscious beings. Once we became intelligent enough to understand our own mortality, we also needed ways to cope with that terrifying realization. Otherwise, the constant awareness of our inevitable death might have made life almost unbearable. Over thousands of years, we developed elaborate philosophical, psychological, religious, & social narratives to rationalize aging & death. We learned to see beauty in impermanence, wisdom in growing old, & even purpose in dying. These beliefs helped humanity endure realities we had absolutely no power to change. But what happens when what we have always considered inevitable is no longer inevitable? This is precisely the extraordinary moment in human history we are entering. AI, & the coming revolution in superintelligence, will fundamentally transform our ability to understand & engineer biology. For the first time, we are approaching an era in which aging itself could become a solvable engineering problem. Rejuvenating our cells, reversing biological aging, eliminating age-related diseases, & potentially extending healthy human life indefinitely are moving from the realm of science fiction toward serious scientific & technological ambitions. Yet I continue to see people passionately defending aging & death as though they were virtues to celebrate rather than limitations we might eventually overcome. I understand why. As mentioned above, these psychological coping mechanisms are deeply embedded in our biology & reinforced by centuries of culture. They served an essential purpose when we had no alternative. But a coping mechanism that once helped us accept reality can become a powerful obstacle to recognizing when reality itself is changing. Frankly, I am becoming less interested in arguing with people who insist on romanticizing aging & death. I understand their perspective, & everyone is entitled to find meaning in mortality. My message is increasingly directed toward those who are willing to challenge these deeply ingrained assumptions, think beyond the biological constraints we inherited, and recognize the extraordinary possibilities emerging before us. We are living through one of the most profound transitions in the history of life on Earth: the moment when intelligence becomes powerful enough to fundamentally redesign the biology that produced it. And I believe one of the greatest tragedies would be to stand at the threshold of this transformation, yet remain so psychologically attached to the inevitability of aging & death that we fail to recognize what may soon become possible. This is why I keep talking about longevity escape velocity: the point at which advances in medicine & rejuvenation could extend our remaining healthy lifespan faster than the passage of time takes it away. I firmly believe AI and soon superintelligence will accelerate progress far far beyond what traditional biomedical research has led us to expect. My hope is to convince as many people as possible to remain healthy, curious, optimistic, & determined to live long enough to reach that extraordinary milestone. Imagine the irony of spending our entire lives accepting death as inevitable, only to discover that we happened to be born into the first generation with a realistic possibility of overcoming the biological processes that make it inevitable. For the first time in human history, the limits of our biology may no longer define the limits of our future. I want as many of us as possible to be around to witness that future. And perhaps, to live in it for a very, very long time. 🖖

This is not cool, @Kimi_Moonshot. It’s not true that Kimi K3.1 is better than Opus 5.5 or Astra, it’s not even cheaper per task than Opus 5.5 in my testing via subs. These sneaky campaigns will cost you massive credibility. Don’t do that, let your models speak for themselves!

Is this a joke? Really crazy stuff!🫨 Of course they can refuse to use AI for math at their leisure, but who will pay them for academic jobs solving problems AI has already solved? Maybe someone will, but nobody will care about them besides each other. What a sad state they’re in

This is an incredible new theory that aims to rebuild physics from quantum information, the brainchild of the brilliant Alex (aka AWS)! He cooked again! If you’re not deeply into physics, it would be hard to grasp its full depth, so I had Gemini 4 Argon prepare an infographic☺️

I’ve been saying this for a longtime. While biology is the final hard boss & we still need massive biomedical data, within the next 5 years biological advances will be mostly autonomous & tremendously impactful via superintelligence. In about decade all diseases will be treatable
