Aw I'm so glad!
I tried the beta version recently, and it really does work. Pretty incredible.

Author here. This is a great point. I'll add the non-obvious DIY options to the list. They're just as important.

It's true money can buy a lot of them, but you can barter too. E.g. make a deal with your housemate to clean the house if they'll do a few hours research for you.

So you have to spend/trade something, but (for me) it's harder to think of what's worth spending/trading for. Hence the post.

Delighted to see that despite the whole point of the piece being to NOT discuss the arguments for/against longevity, basically all the comments are about that. ;)

First of all, I'm thrilled someone looked at the footnotes - thanks :)

I was flippant about the arguments against longevity only because other authors (linked in the appendix) have done such a thorough job of making the case already. The goal of this piece was to help push the longevity discussion past that a bit.

Completely agree that the arguments against longevity should be taken seriously. I just happen to think they're wrong.

There's a bunch more tech involved in supporting the scientists in the COVID moonshot, but that's basically everything ML-related.
