This will play hell with Social Security and Medicare..........................

I think of all the things that we could finally get done if we lived that long.

Car garages would finally get organized, the clutter drawers cleaned up, perhaps eventually have the wedding anniversary date memorized, it would be an entirely new world.

Good, it’s going to take me that long to understand women.

Headlines of this nature are not something I thought I would see. This headline reminded me of a radio show. Lights Out was the name of the series, and Immortal Gentlemen was the name of a story of a society so advanced it is without death. The show aired Aug 31, 1943, and through the technology that brought us here, that radio is available for you to hear. Immortal Gentleman

Didn't they take into consideration things such as being murdered, eletrocuted, run over by a car or train, burned to death in a fire, or even natural disasters like a volcano or tsunami wiping you out?

Unless the person is living in a bubble, a human would not live more than 150 to 200 years, tops, even with the supposed life span of 1,000 years.

Try and imagine the mortgage rate.

How will this repair the natural degradation of the DNA at the cellular level?

And everybody will look something like this...

All aboard the crazy train...

This is why they will never pass term limits.

[beethovenfan]

Not gonna happen.

[grey_whiskers]

All vaporware.

Why would it stop at a thousand? You would have technology growing all this time, whatever limitations left would likely be overcome.

Great news! I’m only 750 years old now. Wow, another 250 years!

Would you put your brain into an Adrian Barbeaubot?

Nope.

I am amazed at the grim comments. What Kurzweil and others who are arguably more realistic have in mind is many extra years of life in good health in a society with general material abundance.

The earliest effects of artificial intelligence will be as if working scientists and researchers are multiplied by ten, a hundred, and a thousand times or more. Contrary to what is often thought, the critical constraint on economic growth is not resources but scientific and technological talent. The more the better, and AI will amplify the potency of human talent to an astonishing degree.

Nevertheless, in daily life, artificial intelligence will arrive more slowly and with less disruption than is commonly projected. The earliest benefits will be that products get better and cheaper as new materials and devices are created and and become widely available. Services will also get better, with craftsman and professionals of all sorts able to get AI help with routine task and even unusual or complicated issues.

Kurzweil has long been wildly over optimistic about nanobots. Medical nanobots are going to continue to be harder to develop and with more limited applications than Kurzweil projects.

I’d rather have superpowers and only live for like 200 years.
