Two researchers discuss longevity breakthroughs that could let someone born today live 1,000 years. AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are buying biotech firms to pursue health as the biggest opportunity of our time. Future medicine will shift from treating individual diseases to repairing whole biological systems.

It's an extraordinary time to be alive. I mean, the number of stories that are breaking in longevity every week. If you believe that we're on this trajectory and we're going to be able to fundamentally reverse aging, not stop it, not slow it, but reverse it, and you want to be along for the ride, your job is to keep yourself in the best health possible to intercept that technology. And like I'd say, don't die for something stupid before then. We just saw Genesis, the Genesis mission focusing on curing disease. We've got incredible companies, every frontier lab right now from Anthropic and OpenAI are buying biocompanies because they want to focus on health. It's the biggest opportunity out there.
The craziest thing I ever heard is the baby that will live to 1,000 years old is already alive. That, like, just— I've never gotten my head around that. But I think the bigger point that you're making, Peter, is as we solve some of these broader issues, right, you go from treating individual diseases to solving biological systems, and then you change healthcare from whack-a-mole to, like, platform repair. And I think that just changes the game completely.
