Larry Ellison is 80. Masayoshi Son is 67. Both have said that anti-aging and eternal life is one of their main goals with investing toward ASI.
For them it's worth it to use their own wealth and rally the industry to invest $500 billion in GPUs if that means they will get to ASI 5 years faster and ask the ASI to give them eternal life.
- mkoubaa 2y agoCan we wait until our political systems aren't putting 80+ year olds in charge BEFORE we cure aging?
- HarHarVeryFunny 2y agoProbably shouldn't be firing their blood boys just yet ... According to Musk, SoftBank only has $10B available for this atm.
- azinman2 2y agoI wouldn’t exactly claim him credible in anything competition / OpenAI related. He says stuff that’s wrong all the time with extreme certainty.
- Layvier 2y agoI would even say that he's now consistently lying to get to what he wants. What started as "building hype" to raise more and have more chances actually delivering on wild promises became lying systematically for big and small things..
- Legend2440 2y agoElon says a lot of things.
- jiggawatts 2y agoLarry especially has already invested in life-extension research.
- baq 2y agoSide note: I’ve read enough sci-fi to know that letting rich people live much longer than not rich is a recipe for a dystopian disaster. The world needs incompetent heirs to waste most of their inheritance, otherwise the civilization collapses to some kind of feudal nightmare.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoI’m cautiously optimistic that if that tech came about it would quickly become cheap enough to access for normal people.
- asciii 2y agoAltered Carbon!
- great_psy 2y agoWith how healthcare is handled in America … good luck to poor people getting access to anything like that.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoLife extension isn’t happening for minimum 30 years, if ever. Hopefully, maybe it won’t be this bad by then???

- asciii 2y agoArtificial Super Intelligence :P
- qaq 2y agoI wonder if they watched Prometheus (2012)
- soheil 2y agothat's a bit of a stretch - why take the absolutely worst case scenario and not instead assume maybe they want their legacy to be the ones who helped humanity achieve in 5 years what took it 5 millennia?
- lm28469 2y agoChat gpt -> ASI-> eternal life Uh, there is 0 logical connection between any of these three, when will people wake up. Chat gpt isn't an oracle of truth just like ASI won't be an eternal life granting God
- steveoscaro 2y agoIf you see no path from ASI to vastly extending lifespans, that’s just a lack of imagination
- lm28469 2y agoYeah I mean you already need super human imagination to get to ASI so at that point you might as well continue in the delirium and throw in immortality in the mix
- rsoto2 2y agoThe world isn't run by smart people, it's run by lucky narcissistic douchebags with ketamine streaming through their veins 24/7
- ActorNightly 2y agoFunny, because the direction ML is going is completely the opposite of what is needed for ASI, so they are never going to get what they want. People are focusing on datasets and training, not realizing that these are still explicit steps that are never going to get you to something that can reason.
- rsoto2 2y agoNice try, Larry, the reaper is coming and the world is ready to forget another shitty narcissistic CEO.
- grazing_fields 2y agoMark my words, anything that comes of anti-aging will ultimately turn into a subscription to living.
