You forgot age reversal which is coming and will make AI look tame in terms of societal disruption.

Eh, that's pretty weird prediction shitty too.

People act like it's right around the corner, but as of last year when my PC crashed, there was still no known experiments actually showing age reversal, or even slowing down, technology with peer reviewed tests done.

It'd be like people crazy about teleportation news when there's been no legit teleportation testing done yet everyone assumes it'll be the hot new industry this time next decade. Even worse, actually, as aging experiments take longer to get results in.

It feels like scientists are getting investors hyped and everyone else assumes the major breakthroughs are coming a mile a minute.

Cool - probably still needs peer reviewed, but seems promising. At the very least it's a first step in a field that basically had no foot in the doorway for decades despite fuckers still leaning in and hissing "soon".

It not being related to DNA damage is especially nice, given we don't need something like crispr to edit our DNA with DNA from a past version or whatever.
