AI, immortality, and the biotech hangover

AI, immortality, and the biotech hangover

One source charts the full arc: from believing elegant software would quietly bleed into stem cells, nanorobotics, and gene editing, to watching GPU-stuffed datacenters try to brute-force the same destination. The immortality promise is openly called out as wishful thinking — yet the piece still tips its hat to David Sinclair's partial reprogramming and closes with 10g of resveratrol plus NMN, every day, no irony.

Gobble's Take: The pitch evolved from "beautiful code saves us" to "more GPUs, same dream" — and the immortality cheque is still very much in the mail.

Longevity: the unsexy stack still wins

The evidence is lopsided, and this source says so plainly. NMN, rapamycin, metformin, senolytics, NAD+ pathway tools, epigenetic clocks — all in play, none yet proven to extend human lifespan. The actual heavy hitters remain the boring ones: Mediterranean diet, strength training, cardio, sleep, sauna, social bonds. One pointed warning lands on anyone spending 200 €/month on speculative supplements while sleeping 6 h and skipping the weights.

Gobble's Take: The longevity stack with the best evidence is also the one nobody wants to sell you. Sleep more, lift heavier, then talk supplements.
