There are five technologies which will ultimately lead to radical life extension during the course of this century and one leads directly to digital immortality, these five technologies are advanced Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Advanced Robotics, Genetics, and mind uploading/whole brain emulation through ML/AI techniques. Ultimately, if your memories are uploaded to a non biological brain this will be the path which leads to digital immortality.
A technique that could be used is the combination of robust artificial intelligence and nanotechnology combined with whole brain emulation will enble us to achieve whole brain emulation, uploaded to a digital medium, and replaced with non-biological components until it reaches a stage where the non-biological components can model the biological part through machine learning, ie neural networks, so accurately the original brains loss would be irrelevant from a functional perspective. R&D departments at many FAANG’s are researching this presently.
Once this technology is developed multiple backup copies of the brain could be constantly backed up just as we do with a computer to a cloud network (AWS, Azure, GC), meaning; if one copy fails the others would continue at which point, digital immortality could theoretically be achieved.

There's already tons of longevity spin-offs being funded. There's even an ETF for the longevity space if I'm not mistaken.
Altos Labs
Juvenesence
SENS
Calico
Rejuvenate Bio
Unity Biotechnology
...and many others
The big hype of recent is epigenetic reprogramming with basically every research all-star for that being joined with Altos Labs.

I mean that’s literally what he intends technically

That's terrible news, considering there are so many humans with wealth and power today that don't deserve it.

There are people waiting on the other side I want to see again

There is too much money to be made in the treatment of critical illness for this to ever be allowed to happen.
GDP would be increased exponentially if people could live 20-30 more years and live those years in good health. There's a shite ton of money to be made from curing what causes disease (aging).
Think about all diseases
...they happen to majority older people...because something is happening to you when you age that's driving your body to degrade and succumb to disease (heart attack, cancer,etc).

If no one dies, what happens when people keep having children? This won't end well for anyone.

Will it stop/reverse aging?? That's not too bad

Right? I’m wondering how many of those are things like “I bet it rains this afternoon” or “I will eat a sandwich for lunch.”

As health improves along with other standards of living people tend to have less kids. Plus the earth can hold significantly more people than it currently does...yes you'll live in the POD and eat the bugs.

You're talking about essentially a mirror site. Unless this entity contains my consciousness, having an eternal cyber copy of me does me no good.

I think he means “immorality”. And we are already there.

I saw a movie about this. Except they had sword fights and cut each other's heads off.

Exactly my point. Who the frick wants that?

Yeah, but #107 was saying that Taco Bell would bring back the Mexican Pizza and #22 was that there would be 8K televisions.

I’ll get to stop time as a 50 year old woman. Great ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/icons/casty.gif)

A former Google engineer has made a stark realization that humans will achieve immortality in eight years - and 86 percent of his 147 predictions have been correct.
I'm guessing that this prediction will fall into his 14% slot.
