I am biased because of my age (early 70s) because I want as many AI tools available as possible to keep playing the ‘infinite game’

Imo this is what it’s all about, gaining immortality and unlimited power under the guise of “good for society” through solutionism and technology.

Silicon Valley is getting older so the efforts to keep going wind up.

That’s why there’s so much anxiety around alignment. The Elixir of an eternal life might be the thing that takes it away, is this any different than in the past ? Sadly yes, but this time it might take all the young people with it.

I was not talking about achieving immortality via tech. We all die, turn to dust, etc. My goal is to keep playing the ‘infinite game’ every day I am alive, and enjoy each day. It is because we will die that the time we have has such high value.

BTW, I don’t take the life extension crowd seriously.

Sorry I misunderstood what you meant!
Not a problem!
