Viral stuff that wrecks ordinary people’s life for no good reason at all is what I hate most about social media. I actually pictured this very story in my head almost the moment I saw the original image. Sadly there’s no way to stop it. ”The Ritual Shaming of the Woman at the

"I think technology is a direct expression of human ingenuity, and longevity escape velocity will only happen as quickly as we devise it. There's no dialectical force guiding humanity towards either immortality or death: these are results of the choices *we* make. Once we

And "doctors routinely perform interventions with comparable or worse odds."
Most doctors think cryopreservation…might work? The average doc thinks an ideally cryopreserved patient has about a 25% chance of being revived! Interesting and intellectually honest analysis of a survey by @emilkendziorra of @tomorrowbio and @ariel_zj:

Big Death! I’m so gonna steal that one. Bryan is a master of communication.
Physical death is dangerous not only because it kills you, but because it’s a pernicious ideology. It runs in the background of our social norms, whispering sleep deprivation is virtue, burnout is status, and growth is superior to continuity. It’s YOLO economics. Big Death is

Flying first class isn’t worth that much when the plane is destined to crash.
The push for scientists to work on extending healthspan instead of lifespan is like telling the Wright brothers to focus on making their plane as comfortable as possible instead of flying

What is the ultimate goal of biogerontology (the study of the biology of aging)? Ask a biogerontologist and a common answer these days is that it is to extend healthspan rather than lifespan. But is...

I don't understand why The Verge hates technology. Yeah, sure, terrible times. Right.

A year ago, we verified a preview of an unreleased version of @OpenAI o3 (High) that scored 88% on ARC-AGI-1 at est. $4.5k/task Today, we’ve verified a new GPT-5.2 Pro (X-High) SOTA score of 90.5% at $11.64/task This represents a ~390X efficiency improvement in one year

Max Hodak, co-founder of Neuralink and now Science Corp. CEO, said some pretty wild things at an event in Palo Alto recently. “You could cure cancer, you could cure cardiovascular disease, you could cure all metabolic disease.” “But there’s this alternative view of substrate

One of our LBF alumni (Matt Osman, LBF1) featured on Core Memory! Matt applied to LBF while still in the AI industry, came to our first LBF camp in 2023, got replacement-pilled and founded Polyphron -- a tissue engineering platform company.
You will not read a more fascinating bio-tech story today. @thematthewosman and team are doing some incredible work across bio and AI https://t.co/JD4wOBEUeO

Elon is only 54. Yet his outdated views on aging have already ossified. By his own logic, his time has come.
🇺🇸 ELON ON IMMORTALITY: “WE NEED TO DIE SO NEW IDEAS CAN WIN” Elon went full galaxy-brain on mortality and power, and it’s savage. “I don’t know that we should really try to live for a super long time. I think it is important for us to die because, you know, most of the time

This made me all warm and happy inside. ❤️
Want to know what a transhumanist initiation looks like? Let me tell you - a week ago, asked @jangruber467 to give my kids a quick tour of his lab. Naturally, as real science tends to do, it escalated far beyond a “quick tour.” We started with liquid nitrogen: a fully inflated
