this is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard in my life aging is simply entropy you aren’t getting around it because you can’t escape entropy in this universe every cell division introduces random stochastic variation every dividing tissue is built to minimize entropy accumulation either by eliminating cell division (heart, brain, etc) or by having a stem cell compartment (skin, bone marrow, intestines) that divides very infrequently and outsources rapid expansion to an intermediate population germ cells (particularly female germ cells) basically don’t divide at all - and rely on significant attrition because fidelity (with some low level variation) in the germ line is essential still, entropy accumulates randomly and every cell accumulates a different set of mutations over time, raising the likelihood that a critical threshold for neoplasia (cancer) is reached; the body has mechanisms that limit cell division and regeneration over time to counterbalance this random entropy accumulation (impaired regeneration is literally aging), but some aging is just entropy itself limiting cellular robustness you can’t stop, limit or reverse aging without increasing risk of cancer - and even if you somehow manage to cure every possible cancer (you can’t) - you run up against a fundamental entropic limit there’s 40 trillion cells in the body, each with 6 billion base pairs - that’s 2 x 10^23 bases, each with 1 right answer and 3 wrong answers stop. think about this. that is 4^(10^23) it you tried to write this number out fully, it would be a 10 followed by 60 sextillion zeros. the number of zeros in this number vastly exceeds the total number of atoms in existence, making it physically impossible to print, store, or display in standard notation. eliminating aging would require rewriting combinatorial complexity on a scale that exceeds the energy of the universe. much like cracking a bitcoin private key, your limit is well beyond the reach of computation; it’s fundamental math and physics. your body is in a constant state of regeneration, but regeneration is replication, and replication fidelity is not perfect. TLDR; tech bros are retarded and don’t understand physics or biology. ai isn’t going to make you live forever.
