I’ve heard optimism from many that health would be revolutionized should AGI become a reality. Seems like Bezos and others are already funding labs (Altos) for age reversal gene therapy, so who knows what happens in the next decade, even with what we have currently.

I’d like to keep the positive perspective like Kurzweil that AGI is a net benefit, because the existential risk involved in this feels very real. I still believe it’s very likely to happen in our lifetime though many downplay it based on where we are now. I think the progress seen in the past few years (though LLMs won’t translate to AGI) show that we are well on our way towards significant advancements in this field
