AI researcher Derya (@DeryaTR) reaffirms his "irrational" conviction of the past 25 years: solve aging, reverse it, and extend human lifespans to hundreds of years — and argues the age of AI is exactly the time to double down on that conviction. He credits Vinod and Khosla Ventures for instrumental backing of seemingly audacious visions, quoting Khosla's CEO Summit message that entrepreneurs with irrational conviction invent the future others think impossible.
