Who? I’ve never heard a single person say this, ever.
Reddit and in particular r/singularity are filled with them
I have never heard anyone bring either of these up, ever. By who? What even is that besides a sci-fi thought experiment?
See my previous response
None of the research or advancements I have seen give me any indication we have made a dent in the seeming genetic hard stop for humans at ~120 years.
Yep, exactly this.
I also have seen nothing that indicates we have been able to reverse the effects of aging, only slow their effects.
Yep.

AI is on an exponential growth path.
Prove it. I would love to be wrong, but it doesn’t seem that way
KindleGemto Futurology•TESS has found thousands of possible exoplanets: Which ones should JWST study?English1·2 years agoTbh, for our generation i don’t think it even matters, since we ain’t getting there anyway. These exoplanets are 10’s if not 100’s of lightyears away and theres no guarantee that any of them are even habitable.
Even for getting to proxima centuari, 4.2 lightyears away and the nearest star to earth, the most optimistic thing I’ve heard is “we could maybe get the travel time down to 80 years if (and big if) we travel at 10% lightspeed”.
Now imagine how we’re going to get to an exoplanet even 30 lightyears away.
The reality is our generation was simply born too early for many of the things talked about in futurist circles.

Exactly. And people seem to think that we are close to AGI. We ain’t. AGI is many decades away.
KindleGemto Futurology•Harvard scientists have identified a drug combo that may reverse aging in just one week: ‘A step towards affordable whole-body rejuvenation'English31·2 years agoExactly. Reverse aging is IMHO beyond our lifetimes.
KindleGemto Futurology•Man jailed for the insider trading of NFTs - in what is believed to be the first case of its kindEnglish2·2 years agoExactly. Crypto is pretty much 100% scams and rugpulls. I’m amazed at how people continue to invest their life savings into this.
I’m assuming these would be more for archival purposes than consumer grade data storage.
