Ugh! Love your take on this, Nancy. I wasn't privy to his take on AI, which is as moronic as his health regimen. I'm very anti-Bryan Johnson and everything he represents. It's just maddening that he gets so much ink when there are much worthier people and causes to cover. Just another rich white dude making it all about himself, but pretending it's for the betterment of society. Most of all, I hate how agist his messaging is, as if getting older is a disease to avoid rather than a privilege. He may want to live forever, but he's already dead to me. :)
Yeah, his AI thing is... weird. I mean, he could be right. But my gods, it's depressing if he is. He'd be better off spending his time working on making AI more responsible/productive rather than some brainless overlord that will rule us all, if he genuinely thinks that's what it's going to do. How can "survival" mean anything otherwise? It makes no sense to me at all.
And yes, he is ageist AF. He doesn't live in a bubble separated from the rest of humanity, as far as I can tell, so I really hope he's eventually taken out by some simple bug he'd least expect.
I didn't think I was alone! I can't imagine it would stay interesting or worthwhile, honestly. Especially if you have to put that much effort into it. I don't know any more than anyone else does about the great mysteries of life and death, but I have to think we're only here for so long for a reason.

I definitely don't want to live forever.
