Late 50s here and I think it'll be transformative like nothing in the past million years. I mean zooming out at history the first 13bn years have been planets form, life evolves gets conscious but has to watch it's conscious loved ones age die in a tiny fraction if that time. Now we can kind of merge with AI and live on as long as wanted in some probably much enhanced form. And all a lot of people can say is it may make spam worse!

Incidentally I wrote about that stuff for my uni entrance exam ages 17 and it has always seemed kind of obvious and inevitable to me. It surprises me there are so many skeptics.
