Mazin writes about his experience for the Lifespan Extension Advocacy Foundation’s lifespan.io website. He delves into the conversations he had with attendees about longevity and its interaction with other featured topics at Zuzalu, such as the potential for a longevity-focused network state and the reasons the AI community is so interested in longevity.
