Retirement Singularity

Keeping up with AI? But why bother?

Staying Up With AI – It Matters The Moonshots Podcast is one of my favorite sources of up-to-date information on AI, Robotics and Healthy Life Extension - the key themes of this RetirementSingularity.com blog. As technology advances, the complexity of what is happening, what is about to happen and the implications gets "thicker".....

Check out this post about what older adults can do now, to intercept the radical life enhancing technologies soon to come! Taken from an interview on a recent CARP webinar.

Smarter Health, Longer Life: What Adults 55+ Can Do Now I recently gave a CARP Atlantic webinar called Smarter Health, Longer Life: What Adults 55+ Can Do Now and What’s Coming Next. (If you heard me recently with CARP Atlantic, welcome.) The central idea was simple: The future of retirement is no longer just about money. It is also about health, indep...

Google X exec Mo Gawdat calls this "the most dangerous phase of AI" — and he's not wrong. But here's what most people miss: the danger isn't the machines. It's the values we're handing them.

We're raising something smarter than us. What we teach it in the next few years will shape everything that comes after. The good news? That means you — your wisdom, your ethics, your humanity — have never mattered more.

Here's why showing up as your best self right now is the most important thing you can do. -parenting-job-in-human-history/

Raising Superman: The Most Important Parenting Job in Human History Most retirement planning advice focuses on money. Smart portfolios, withdrawal rates, healthcare contingencies - all critical. But there's a variable arriving that no spreadsheet accounts for: the AI Singularity. According to Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google, we are entering what h...

What if aging isn't inevitable decline — but a data corruption problem with a fix?

Harvard geneticist David Sinclair is using AI to screen billions of molecules, compressing 160 years of research into months. His lab has already reversed aging in mice, monkeys, and miniature human brain tissue.

The implication: if you're alive today, you may be closer to the longevity frontier than you think.

We’ve always been told life is a three-act play: Learn, Work, Retire/Decline. But what happens when Act II is automated and Act III never arrives?

OK, if AI and robots are lining up to replace most human human labor, who will buy the goods and services if most people are unemployed? [93% of US jobs can be done at least partly by AI, per Forbes] This is the topic of "Post-Labor Economics" PLE - how does the economy work if a key driver (consumer spending = 70% of the US economy) falls away? One of the leading thinkers on this is David Shapiro. See the attached for an excellent overview of his model of PLE.

Evidence keeps piling up: aging isn’t a one‑way slide. Your beliefs about aging can literally shape your health trajectory.

People With Positive Outlooks Have Better Aging Outcomes A recent study published in Geriatrics debunks the assumption that an older chronological age results in an inevitable and universal decline in health.

AI vs. the Environment!? Are you concerned? Should you be?

Is AI Destroying the Planet—Or About to Save It? Is AI Destroying the Planet - Or About to Save It? I recently received this message from a reader, and I thought it deserved a full post rather than just a quick reply. A reader asks the question I’ve been thinking about reply: “Overall I find AI extremely useful and it’s helped me get past .....

Humanoid robots will be big. Quote from Figure's Brett Adcock, "...we want to solve general robotics. - the analogy is like we want to build a human in a bodysuit that you can just talk to that has like common sense reasoning you can communicate with that has like like basically almost like you know like almost perfect memory what's really happening or what's going on in your life um that can maybe talk to you almost be your companion and then go off and do things that you would like like you would an everyday human would want to do and I would expect them to get up to speed on those tasks um at or faster than a human can.
