$110M Just Let it Happen! AI Robots are Overtaking Us.

We’re used to AI being just on our screens. And what’s the worst thing it can do here besides taking our jobs? Spit out some incomprehensible string of words, display an error, or in rare cases, insult us.

But now AI is stepping into the physical world, and that’s a whole different game. A company just secured $110 million to develop a humanoid AI scientist (yes, a ROBOT!) that will conduct drug experiments by itself in a fully automated lab.

This means AI can now physically test and develop drugs (completely without humans!) And if that sounds cool, let us remind you what was a couple weeks ago on the headlines

Robot attacks crowd in China

If AI can already get aggressive, what happens when it controls life-saving drugs?

Investors Are Going Crazy

This company’s name is Insilico and it announced of merging AI and robots. First it intended a couple shares to be sold. Now there’s not enough shares for the amount of investors wanting to buy them!

And it gets even wilder, the AI already DEVELOPED a drug, is RUNNING experiments BY ITSELF and the robot even HAS A NAME!

That’s right. It’s not just some random lab machine, it’s an “AI scientist” with its own identity.

Alex. Why wasn’t it named by AI? That would’ve completed the circle.

Designed by AI, named by humans. At least we still have control over something… for now.

The public’s reaction

I wonder if the liquid handler is worried the humanoid will take its job since it’s learning how to pipette…

Good one! the people training the robot will be the first ones replaced by it.

So now we have humanoid scientists developing drugs? What’s next? AI prescribing them? AI hospitals?

Honestly… probably.

Imagine getting a prescription and realizing an AI invented it, tested it, AND approved it. Would you take it?

At this point, do we even have a choice?

AI Is in Control. What’s Next?

AI isn’t just assisting in drug research anymore, it’s leading it. A humanoid scientist developing medicine without human oversight is no longer science fiction.

What happens when AI starts designing treatments based on its own logic? Would you trust it?

You ever hear someone say, “Healthspan and lifespan are the same thing”? Yeah, that’s like saying a broken arm and total paralysis are the same because both stop you from running. Technically related? Sure. But definitely not the same thing.

Well, this very debate exploded on X recently, and we were blessed with a front-row seat. 🍿

Andrew: Scientist, writer, and advocate for longevity research.

Joe: A physics guy Andrew decided to argue with.

It all started when Andrew casually dropped this take:

“There’s a debate in longevity about whether we should extend lifespan or improve healthspan. I don’t think it’s a real debate. If I had $10B to fund research, it’d be the same program.”

A bold move, Andrew. A very bold move.

Joe, who was having absolutely none of it.

"Andrew, What are you even talking about?"
“Healthspan is far better understood.”

And that, of course, is when things got heated.

Andrew, now slightly rage-typing, fires back:

“THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE! We don’t even have a great definition for healthspan. Lifespan? Super simple: Are you dead, or are you not?”

Oh damn. That escalated quickly.

Joe, now committed to the fight, fires back:

“Increasing healthspan is easy—eat well, work hard, rest. But increasing lifespan? That takes a real breakthrough, like sewage systems and water sanitation.”

Sewage system? Sanitation? At this point, Andrew had to be thinking, Who did I just get into a debate with?

Andrew:

“I’m not talking about eating your vegetables or your sewage, although you should be the one in charge of that… I mean actual medicines to slow down aging!”

Joe is probably taking his time to answer because Andrew answered just a few hours ago, so the debate is still ongoing.

Where This is Heading

Who's winning here? Looks like both gentlemen have a strong stand, although we’d give more points to Andrew.

Are we enjoying the Twitter chaos? Absolutely.

Will there be more debates like this? No doubt.

For now, we’ll sit back, watch the drama unfold, and report back when someone drops another hot take. 🍿

Oh and feel free to engage!

Are you a fan of sci-fi movies where the rich build secret cities on remote islands, hidden from the world, accessible only to a select few?

Well, this isn’t sci-fi anymore.

This was Vitalia.

Or rather, it was.

Now, a new secret city is taking its place.

What Was This Secret City?

They called it Vitalia, and its purpose was simple:

Build a city where longevity entrepreneurs could run their stealth projects—far from the grip of government regulations.

"Vitalia was an experiment in decentralized governance, longevity biotech, and extreme self-optimization.” —Laurence Ion, one of Vitalia’s founders.

At first, it was just a rumor in longevity circles.

Then, the location was revealed: Prospera, Roatán island, Honduras.

Vitalia started gaining global attention, which at first seemed like the best thing that could’ve happened.

Until… the Honduran government stepped in.

Regulations tightened, and just like that—Vitalia was erased from the map.

The people behind it? Vanished.

Or did they?

The Stealth Group Behind It All

You’d think the masterminds would be billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or some anonymous puppet master pulling strings.

But no.

The people behind Vitalia were well-known longevity researchers, biohackers, and crypto-fueled utopia seekers.

Some of the big names inside

• Bryan Johnson – Visited for experimental treatments but didn’t contribute to building the city. Now? He’s too busy starting his own religion.

• José Cordeiro – A self-proclaimed futurist and serial longevity promoter. Wrote a book predicting immortality by 2030, probably should’ve pushed the date further so people wouldn’t call him a lunatic.

• Aubrey de Grey – One of longevity’s biggest scientists… but also banned from SENS over sexual harassment allegations.

So let’s recap: a guy starting a religion, a guy predicting immortality by next Tuesday, and a guy banned from his own research foundation all walk onto an island… What could possibly go wrong?

At the center of it all was a secret group called "Vitalia Builders’ Hub", a network where strategies were discussed, deals were made, and memes were shared.. Because, you know, when you’re on an island in the middle of nowhere, what else are you supposed to do for entertainment?

Some of the key groups inside the hub:

• Introductions – New members introduced themselves and their projects.

• General – Random discussions, theories, and, let’s be real, a lot of hype.

• Vitalia Pop-up Lab – The secretive experimental hub.

• BiohackerDAO – The crypto-meets-biohacking squad.

• Legal & Business – Because running a stealth city in a foreign country needs some “legal” work.

And over 50 more subgroups, all coordinating a city built on the idea of defying aging itself.

This wasn’t just a biohacker retreat. It was a place where people genuinely believed they were building the future of human life.

And now?

They’re trying again.

Viva City: The Next Attempt

After Vitalia collapsed, they’re back. Not just with a new city, but with a whole self-governed entity.

"When enough of us live together, we can not only coordinate better, we can have the legitimacy to self-govern. Create new laws & regulations that don't hinder innovation. Warp speed. Get to market in months, not decades." —Laurence Ion

And where will this revolution be built?

“We have a $2,000,000 Finders' Fee for our new location.” —Laurence Ion

That’s right. Viva City is being built somewhere… but they have no idea where yet.

For now, the only place it exists is Twitter.

Endless AI-generated cityscapes, grand utopian visions, and hype posts.. But no land, no infrastructure, and no actual city. Just vibes.

The search officially started on January 8, 2025. It's now March 10, 2025 and they’re still searching.

At this point, they might as well let ChatGPT pick a country for them.

But this time, they’re keeping things stealth.

“I believe the conversations must be one-to-one, individual by individual, friend to friend, belly to belly, eye ball to eye ball.” —Viva City Builder Hub Member

A bold strategy. Too bad that didn’t stop us from finding out more.

So, is this the next longevity revolution

or just another source of entertainment?

Longevity millionaire Bryan Johnson, the guy who pays his son to donate blood and tracks his body's every waking and sleeping moment, just dropped a cryptic post on X. The post? A casual flex that he’s “hanging out” with Steve-O! The man whose job description once included launching himself into walls and stapling his own skin… for fun.

“Hanging out with @steveo talking about how he’s rebuilding his body from years of Jackass.”

Uh-huh. Just a casual Tuesday, right?

If you’re feeling déjà vu, it’s because Bryan’s been making headlines all week. Just days ago, we covered his new religion, which sparked an internet backlash, and let’s not forget Bryan’s failed dinner with the Kardashians, where one of the cringiest moments in history unfolded at the dinner table.

What’s Going On Here?

Steve-O, legendary Jackass daredevil, is rebuilding his body? Does this mean he’s ditching the broken bones, concussions, and mild CTE for Bryan Johnson’s $2M-per-year longevity playbook?

Steve-O has already dabbled in stem cell therapy before, publicly sharing his experiences with regenerative treatments to fix years of bodily abuse. But if he’s turning to Bryan Johnson now, does that mean he’s ready to take it to Blueprint extremes? What does “rebuilding” even mean in Blueprint language?!

Possibility #1: Bryan is turning Steve-O into an age-reversing superhuman.
We all know Bryan isn’t just here for casual bro-talks. If Steve-O’s even half-serious about this, we might be looking at the most insane “before and after” transformation in human history. Forget Jackass Forever, this would be Steve-O Immortal.

Possibility #2: Bryan & Steve-O are about to release a documentary on “extreme longevity.”
Imagine this: A documentary where Steve-O goes all-in on biohacking, sleeps in a cryo-chamber, injects stem cells straight into his face, and eats nothing but Bryan-approved nuts and dust. I mean… we already watched him get a catheter shoved up his urethra for fun. What’s a little rapamycin?

Possibility #3: The most cursed Blueprint stunt of all time.
Steve-O isn’t exactly known for gentle lifestyle changes. What if Bryan Johnson is about to conduct the ultimateexperiment? Will we see Steve-O voluntarily age himself 30 years and then de-age using nothing but Bryan’s tech?

Final Thoughts

The fact that they’re even in the same room means something weird is brewing. Could it be a full-body Steve-O restoration project? A celebrity biohacking expose? A prank where Bryan convinces Steve-O to drink his own filtered pee?

Whatever it is. We’re watching. And you should too!

After a failed dinner with the Kardashians, Bryan Johnson is back with yet another bombshell. This time, he’s not just hacking his biology, he’s starting a religion.

Is this just another desperate influencer move after failing to get the spotlight they wanted? Or is this something more?

This week, Bryan dropped a massive Twitter thread announcing his new ideology:

“Dear humanity, I am building a religion.”

He wants Don’t Die to become the fastest-growing ideology in history, solve AI alignment, and… somehow replace democracy, capitalism, and existing religions.

According to him, this is inevitable. The only question is:

“Will you be an early or late adopter?”

Bryan didn’t just tweet about it, he went all in. This wasn’t just another longevity influencer saying “we need action.” He posted pictures, diagrams, and a concept so ambitious that…

“I’m not reading all that Bryan. Good luck on your religion startup” —@hovmoses, on X

Bryan, you are bragging about taking more than 50 pills a day for longevity, maybe it’s time for you to read the manual, this sure is longevity, but longevity maddness.

His “Religion” Is… a Self-Optimization App?

Or… is this just a tactic to get more people to download his app?

To become part of his new religion, you need to take “immediate action.” And by that, Bryan means:

“Download the Don’t Die app.”

“Track your Don’t Die Score.”

“Connect with others.”

“Start a local community.”

Wait, Bryan—are you saying that in order to follow your religion, people need to… download your app?

The same app that tells you your right hand is five years older than your left?

So, is this a belief system, a business model, or just a new way for Bryan to flex his slow-aging speed?

People Want to Join… But Are Already Requesting Sects?

“Would you be willing to consider formally acknowledging sects within the Don’t Die movement so I could participate without endorsing?” —@giggleskwelch, on X

When people are already requesting sects, maybe, just maybe… this is, in fact, a cult.

And we thought the main purpose of a Don’t Die religion was, well… not dying.

“I agree with almost all your points in the Don’t Die movement… except the final one. I think we should die at the end.”

So… are we missing something, or are they?

Bryan is already facing internet backlash, subscribe so you don’t miss our next deep dive!

This critic has made it his full-time job to take shots at Bryan.

He’s well-connected.

He’s Russian.

And Bryan is aware of his threats.

His name? Mikhail Batin.

Who?

Exactly.

Threats and Ultimatums for Bryan

It all started when Andrew Steele (@statto), a longevity researcher and podcast host, called out Bryan for monetizing Blueprint.

“I’ve not checked in with Bryan Johnson for a while (because he blocked me), but now I do—surprise, surprise, he’s monetizing Blueprint! The website that used to show his protocol is now a store… let’s take a look at some of the products.”

And then came Mikhail, ready to escalate things.

“If Bryan Johnson does not provide a clear response to the allegations within 72 hours, we will be forced to admit that he is using anti-death rhetoric solely for personal gain.”

“Under the current circumstances, a public debate with @statto is necessary. Refusal is an admission of inability to defend one’s position.”

“Demand proof of effectiveness from sellers of dietary supplements! We're all waiting, Bryan!”

A 72-hour ultimatum because, apparently, Bryan is now running a hostage situation! Not a biohacking protocol.

And Bryan knew the threat was big.

He had limited time to think… but then he fired back:

“The longevity mafia is out for me. Threats leveled. Demands made. Their crosshairs are trained, and only hours remain.”

“Discerning through this fog of war, this is a cry for help. They’re playing hardball to secure Blueprint access. Mikhail, don’t worry; you won’t be left behind.”

And just like that, the feud escalated.

Another member of the longevity mafia, Danila Immortalist, a self-proclaimed longevity guru who refuses to talk to anyone who isn’t pro-immortality, chimed in:

“LOL) Why respond to the call for transparency in the life extension community and engage in open dialogue, right Bryan? It’s easier to just start trolling, shift attention to stereotypes, and portray yourself as a victim.”

If you don’t understand what he’s saying, don’t worry. Neither do we.

Mikhail then took things a step further, saying Bryan is a burden to longevity and outright calling him a scam.

“Brian Johnson is burning the idea of life extension. Instead of creating technologies—cargo cult. Instead of clinical research—selling supplements. Instead of solving problems—rituals. Longevity is now closely associated with his name, and this name is a scam.”

At this point, Mikhail was throwing Twitter punches at thin air.

And for the final blow, he posted a meme trying to ridicule Blueprint:

He got just one response:

"Meaningless post."

We couldn’t have said it better.

So, What Does Mikhail Actually Do?

Now that we’ve covered his full-time job as Bryan’s top hater, let’s talk about what Mikhail actually does.

He is the Chairman of Science For Life-Extension.

Sounds good, right?

Until you actually open the website and see this:

“EXPEDITION FOR IMMORTALITY”

Misha Batin's philosophical travel vlog. You will find out why to prolong one's life, why there is still no cure for old age, and what to do about it.

At Science for Life Extension Foundation, we believe in the power of art. Meet a new genre—metamodern transhumanism.

A philosophical travel vlog.

Because nothing says serious scientific progress like metamodern transhumanist art.

But there’s more..

The Open Longevity Project

Mikhail also co-founded Open Longevity with Anastasia Egorova.

At first glance, it sounds like an initiative for serious research.

Then you open the site and find..

• Immortalist philosophy rants

• Memes

• Links to books and YouTube videos (most of which are his own, because if no one else is hyping him up, he’ll do it himself.)

• A painting titled “Girls, Birds, Network” - possibly another failed attempt to make people care about longevity. He might want to connect himself to an actual drawing class instead.

Oh, and let’s not forget:

• A “Transhumanist Test” to see if you’re enlightened enough to join his immortality cult.

(Spoiler alert: You’re not missing much.)

But let’s give him some credit here.

At least he tried.

Final Verdict: The Envious Hater?

At the end of the day, Mikhail Batin isn’t fighting for longevity, he’s fighting for his own relevance.

• He criticizes Bryan’s Blueprint… but doesn’t offer any real alternative.

• He complains about funding going to AI instead of longevity… but has no research projects of his own.

• He calls Bryan a scam… while running a “philosophical travel vlog” as his main contribution to life extension.

This man expects to lead the global longevity movement… through Twitter.

Yet every single one of his posts is written through a translator because he never even bothered to learn English.

At this point, Googling “how to live longer” will give you 10x better results than following this guy.

Bryan couldn’t have picked a better welcoming environment than having naked pictures of himself right at the entrance! As soon as everyone met, the air of cringiness was thick, and Kris wasn’t even trying to hide it.

She even had the audacity to bring Bryan a bottle of 818, despite him refusing alcohol for the past decade. The excuse? Kendall designed it.

“Sorry about the alcohol, but we couldn’t come empty-handed,” Kris said.

Longevity vs. Celebrity: The Culture Clash Begins

What better way to set things in motion than with:

“What does biohacking mean to you?”

“Biohacking… is… apparently… silence …biohacking.”

Well done, Kris.

“Everything from peptides and healthy stuff.”

Nice one, Kim. Do you even know what a peptide is?

“I would assume you’re hacking into your biology?”

Good one, Khloe, you’re by far the closest!

Bryan’s Erections

Bryan gave them the tour, little did they know the chaos ahead! They walked right into his little clinic, and what started as small talk quickly turned into… something else.

“And then it seemed like every time I woke up, I was erect, and I thought, ‘What is happening here?’”

What is happening here, Bryan? Ever heard of oversharing? The Kardashians were shocked! But that didn’t stop Bryan from adding to the pile.

“And then, it just took us down a rabbit hole of nighttime erections.”

Khloe added a bit of spice to this:

“It’s healthy to have multiple erections a night?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.”

Kris could barely hide her horror, nodding uncomfortably. And Bryan? Oh, he kept going for two more minutes. In Kardashian time, that’s a lifetime!

Here’s what the Kardashians had to say about it:

“I don’t necessarily need to know everything about what happens to someone in the middle of the night.” —Kris

“Hm. Thank you. Ok. Good.” —Khloe

“I’m not judging.” Then proceeded to laugh.

“Like, what LOSERS to be, like, giggling about ‘an erection!’ And we’re all like—” laughs more —Kim

Dinner

After a short tour of the house, Bryan invited them all for dinner at 11 AM. Yes, you read that right. Bryan has dinner at 11 in the morning!

The first course? His signature dish: Super Veggie.

“It’s black lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, ginger root.”

Mmm… delicious.

“There’s nothing in here that’s cool or fun or nice to have. Everything has a specific objective.”

Sure, Bryan. Good luck convincing the Kardashians when you’re openly admitting you’ve stripped every ounce of pleasure from your life.

“Every calorie has to fight for its life and has to do a specific job inside the body.”

Oh, he just doesn’t know when to stop. Kim was getting visibly annoyed. Who in their right mind would willingly do this to themselves?

Is Kim trying to flirt with Bryan?

“The whites of your eyes are extremely white! I’m just really into it.” —Kim

Kim, are you really into his eyes, or into him?

Huberman, who had been quietly observing the whole time, suddenly jumped in with a nerdy science detour. Was he trying to impress Kim?

“Eyes are two pieces of the brain that are outside the skull. And so you can see when someone is alive in their eyes or if they’re dead in their eyes.”

Kim turned to him, eyebrow raised.

“Do you think I look dead in my eyes?”

“No, not at all, quite the opposite.”

“You can tell me.”

“No, not at all, quite the opposite.”

Huberman just lost the game. Kim was done with him and turned back to Bryan.

“What is your thought on drinking alcohol?”

“I don’t drink alcohol.”

“Samesies! I don’t like it.”

Khloe, of course, wasn’t going to let that slide.

“I’m like, we were just drunk two nights ago.”

Kim didn’t even blink. She doubled down:

“I just don’t snack anymore, it’s the weirdest thing.”

Kris wasn’t buying it.

“Emergency Cheetos in the cupboard.” —Kris, mocking her lies.

Kim kept going:

“I just don’t like that stuff anymore.”

And then Kris jumped straight into delusional mode too:

“Because alcohol is so inflammatory, the minute I stop, I don’t have a taste for it.”

Wait… did Kris just activate full-blown lying mode as well? Are they competing for Bryan, or are they just competing in who can lie the best?

“Wait. But what is an algorithm?”

“If you had access to an algorithm that could give you the best health of your life, you did what it said, ate what it told you, went to bed when it told you, would you say yes or no?” —Bryan

“Yes.” —Kris

Really, Kris? Would you actually give up your 5 o’clock martinis?

“No.”

The conversation was getting interesting until Khloe casually dropped this bomb:

“Like my Instagram algorithm?”

Oh, Khloe. You started off so strong… but some thoughts are better left unsaid.

Bryan then launched into his grand speech about how he’s engineering the future of humanity. Kris sat there, face frozen in disbelief, probably wondering if future humans would be stripping themselves of all pleasures.

And just when they thought things couldn’t get weirder, Bryan started talking about cheating death. The Kardashians were stunned. Their expressions said it all: What are we doing here?

• A guy who eats dinner at 11 AM

• Has zero pleasure in his life

• And now… thinks immortality is the goal?

Kris finally had enough.

“What’s the worst thing you would eat once in a while right now?”

Hoping—just hoping—Bryan would admit he has some guilty pleasures.

“Yeah, it’s gone.”

After dinner shot

After dinner, they all received a shot.

A shot of… olive oil.

“So like, it was an olive oil shot, and I was just like, ‘What the f*ck?’” —Khloe

But really… what was the point of this dinner?

Kim gave a hint earlier:

“After taking the Horvath test, I’m kind of obsessed with my biological age.”

“I’d like to be a younger sister to my younger sister, that would be cute.”

And if you ever wondered how Bryan sees these interactions…

“I’ll nourish you and drink your blood.” —Bryan Johnson on X

So… who really won this dinner?
