Bryan Johnson hosted two-and-a-half-hour dinners exploring a single question: would you let an algorithm care for you better than you can care for yourself? He compiled the conversations into his book Don't Die by Zero, which examines what it means to be human as algorithms reshape our lives.
Hey, guys. Over the past couple years, I've been hosting dinners at my house with my favorite people in the world. I give them a thought experiment. If you had an algorithm that could take better care of you than you can yourself, would you say yes? And then we have a two and a half hour long conversation on what it means to be human, how algorithms interact with us, what the future is to be human. So now we can have dinner together. Because I've put the entire conversation in a book, Don't Die by Zero. And this book is basically a summary of dozens of dinners of conversations of the ideas, the philosophy, the pushback, all the conversation around these ideas of the future of being humans. So hang out with me, read the book, we'll be on the same page, and then we can talk about the future of being human together.
