How long do you think you will live? There is research on aging that will allow us to remain young indefinitely. Imagine being biologically 30, but chronologically 90, 100, 200, even 400 years of age!
We need transhumanism that is data driven, not hype driven. Maybe transfer of consciousness is possible, we don't know yet. We first need to know what consciousness even is. In the mean time, the focus must be on curing and preventing illness, frailty and disease.
Even though I call myself a transhumanist, I have a lot of sympathy with the content of this article: "Investors’ ‘dumb transhumanist ideas’ setting back neurotech progress, say experts" www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
Investors’ ‘dumb transhumanist ideas’ setting back neurotech progress, say experts
Fascination of investors such as Elon Musk with uploading their brains to computers is hindering progress in curing disease, say scientists

Would life extension, anti aging really result in overpopulation? Unlikely. Fertility rates are declining, even among developed countries. a post aging world also does not need to "stop having children" either. Here we see a similar fertility rate to that of modern developed countries.

Yes, it's kind of getting out of hand. Worth pointing out they don't reflect how most people think. Polling data across europe and north america suggest people have nuanced views on generative AI (and AI in general).
On the tech side, the AI-scolding (and general anti-AI discourse) is really boring too. Even the mildest comment, like when I said I find it useful for some coding tasks, gets a torrent of abuse and dozens of blocks. The interesting research discussions are one of the few things I miss from Twitter

Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it—an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter.

I oppose full blown pardon, however, I would support clemency. Life without parole is considered a human rights violation in a number of European countries. This is especially true given Ross did not actually murder anyone. Nevertheless his crimes were egregious and the conviction should stand.
The President has granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht.
Ulbricht was convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics, and engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise (often referred to as the “kingpin charge”).
