@GaryMarcus @PrblSing A silly question: how would you know in 5 years that the human lifespan has doubled.

@PrblSing There is no serious thought behind those projections, I guarantee it. He simply has not factored in the lab work.

@GaryMarcus Bold claims like this often spark skepticism, but pushing boundaries is how progress happens. If there’s a chance to validate it, I’d love to see the data behind these projections!

Dario Amodei, I hereby offer you $100,000 against this bet, proceeds to charity.

Are you in?

Your claim is absolutely insane; there is no way you can do the lab work that fast. It’s just totally made up BS.

Longevity is here. And its here to stay.

We have to remember that Dario Amodei is not a hype-guy. He is a serious scientist. His words carry weight.

Doubling the lifespan would probably amount to around 140 years. In 5 years already, mind you!

So where will we be in 10 years'…
