Summary

Welcome to another power-packed episode of Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode, I’m joined by Bryan Johnson, the “most measured man in history” who lets AI make all of his health and wellness decisions for him – because the algorithm can do better than he can. Bryan Johnson is an ultra successful entrepreneur who believes that, while we like to think Homo sapiens represent the pinnacle of intelligence on Earth, there is an urgent need for a new form of intelligence that transcends self-interest and tackles inherent flaws, like self-destructive behaviors and other destructive tendencies, like war and global warming. Get ready to rethink traditional approaches to living as we dive deep into topics like: - Why Ozempic is an algorithm - “Don’t Die” philosophy a new religion? - The impact of algorithms on our future - AI alignment and extending life through cellular reprogramming - The challenge of aligning human behavior with the greater good - Concerns about the loss of autonomy and authoritarianism due to AI Today's episode promises to challenge your perceptions and elevate your understanding of what the future holds as we peer into the horizon of humanity's next great leap. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don’t miss Part 2 of this convo for even more wisdom from Bryan Johnson.

0:00.0	You're on the precipice of an artificial superintelligence revolution that will alter your day-to-day life in ways that none of us can quite imagine.
0:08.8	But no matter how much human creativity is unlocked by AI or how disruptive it will be to the traditional economy,
0:16.4	no change would be as dramatic as unlocking immortality.
0:21.3	Today's guest believes the rate of progress in AI means our only goal should be to stay alive long enough for AI to take over.
0:30.1	He believes that algorithms may hold the key to living forever.
0:34.0	Here we go for round three with Brian Johnson.
0:40.3	Do you think that we as a species should hand over our decision-making process entirely
0:47.3	to AI when it's ready?
0:49.3	Yeah, I think we need a new form of cognition for ourselves and paired with AI for the species.
0:58.2	And if you look at Homo sapiens as an independent source of intelligence, we're pretty good
1:03.6	at some things, we're terrible at other things. And the things we're terrible at,
1:08.1	and include our willingness to engage in self-destructive behaviors
1:13.9	or planetary destruction or even destroying each other instead of trying to build something
1:18.3	that is much superior than our own self-interest.
1:22.3	And so currently we are the best form of intelligence on this planet, but we need to evolve
1:27.4	to something superior.
1:28.4	So I've tried to demonstrate the blueprint that, yes, I think that as an opening conversation,
1:35.5	we should be mindful that it may be the time that we graduate to a new form of intelligence.
1:40.5	Okay, that sounds slightly different to me.
1:42.3	So what I took away from a ton of research on you
1:46.5	is that basically we, to your point, we know that we can't think through these problems well. We know
1:52.9	that we're on the cusp of artificial intelligence that is almost certainly going to be way
