inductionheads · x · 2026-10-28
Bryan Johnson publicly endorses Ray Kurzweil, calling him "the best futurist of all time," alongside a WSJ piece titled "Can AI Help Ray Kurzweil Cheat Death?" The 77-year-old futurist has long predicted AGI around 2029 and bets that AI-driven longevity tech will let him reach the singularity. Johnson, himself an aggressive longevity optimist, frames his support as rooting for that bet to pay off.
