Aging Can and Should be Stopped | Linus Petersson | @TEDxStockholm
Excellent podcast with @jpsenescence
On aging and how to solve it

Aubrey de Grey says there’s a 50/50 chance we’ll start beating aging within 12–15 years.
George Church thinks we could already be there.
I brought four top longevity leaders together for one hour. Here’s what I learned:
1) Nobody agrees on a timeline
Aubrey de Grey: 50/50 within 12–15 years.
Alex Zhavoronkov: 20–50 years, and he thinks we’ll need brain-computer interfaces to get there.
George Church: We could already be on track; we just won’t know for another decade.
Michael Ringel: Living forever will “never” happen, but living well past 122 is possible.
I work on aging to extend lifespan
Healthspan is nice. But that’s not enough
Extending life is a moral good, own it

it's official: the biostasis @xprize is coming
winner of this year's visioneering, the prize will target organ biostasis in pig models to end the organ shortage and push the frontier of preservation
cryo is finally getting the momentum it deserves
Biostasis is looking increasingly feasible
functional recovery of vitrified and nanowarmed human-scale pig kidneys from up to one year at -150 °C
it is increasingly clear that cryopreservation is the single best shot we have at defeating death in our lifetimes

What could pooossibly go wrong?
Haha, wow this is so cool. The 5 y/o in me is jumping up and down with excitement
Listening to Jensen Huang at Norrsken, Stockholm 🚀
AI can accelerate interventions to reverse aging. The goal: indefinite lifespan extension 🧬
As models grow more powerful, I see access to quality biological data as the biggest bottleneck
Today we’re soon welcoming @JensenHuang to Stockholm
AI will be crucial to solve aging
Cool idea
Spiky LEV
/noun/
The hypothesis that longevity escape velocity is already emerging in narrow subpopulations, under specific interventions, over limited time windows, long before it appears in population-wide averages.
Just as Spiky AGI describes AI surpassing human capabilities in some domains while lagging in others, Spiky LEV describes longevity breakthroughs appearing unevenly across people, biological systems, treatments, and time.

Interviews in local language (translated with AI to English) of cat parents - European elderly cats with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), improving on our therapeutic.
I thought I should keep this for strategics and investors, but the same reactions I see in their pharma teams is what the world at large should experience too. We're working on improving health, on going beyond just nine lives ❤️
Very true. They are more like guidelines really
We need a better understanding

People fear AI too much. Actually, people fear everything too much. Things that have <0.01% chance of killing them. What they should fear the most is aging - it kills 100% of the time. If you accept aging, you should accept AI, robotics and hardcore biotech.
