>I don't think I'll see it in my lifetime if Singularity is what you mean by "merging"

Let's assume you are 35. You have about 45-65 years of lifetime left if there are zero improvements made in treatments for aging over the next 45-65 years.

You don't believe the singularity will happen in that time interval? That's 2069-2089 before you croak, again, assuming nothing that slows down aging in rats right now can work on humans.

There are multiple therapies. yamaka factors, metformin + sirolimus, others. Adding 50% more to rat lifespan isn't uncommon, which would give you another 40 years. So if any of these treatments work, or we ask AI to look at our proteins and what is failing as we age and devise a treatment, but that also fails (even though AI can already do most of this today), you are saying no singularity in about 100 years.

And if you get any of the treatments to work, maybe during that time period someone will use stem cell therapies on your weakest organs - bone marrow, heart, and brain - and add another 40 years during which...
