Washington Shuts Down a Frontier AI Model, Plus the 1,000-Year Lifespan Debate

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONA frontier AI model got pulled offline by executive order this week, and Jason and Julie use it to open a bigger question. The government was ahead of nuclear and ahead of UAPs, and for the first time it is behind, trying to regulate a technology that did not start in its labs and that officials admit they do not fully understand. The two get into what happens to a business when its operating-system-level model goes dark overnight, why every company may want a fine-tuned open-source model sitting on a work laptop as a backup, and whether Dario Amodei's warnings about AI danger were conviction or pre-IPO positioning.The back half turns to the Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis and a claim that stops Julie cold: the first baby who will live to a thousand may already be born. They weigh cell-age reversal, GLP-1s as a possible longevity drug and the next Prozac, the FDA bottlenecks worth keeping, and the genetic-reprogramming debate that turns dystopian the second you move the line past disease. Plato's philosopher kings, lab-grown meat, Argentina recognizing AI personhood, and Elon's trillion-dollar paper valuation all get a turn.TIME STAMPS00:00 - A frontier model pulled offline by executive order03:30 - Was Dario Amodei's danger warning principle or pre-IPO positioning05:40 - Model routers and what happens when your operating-system model goes dark06:35 - AWS outages and why every business may need an open-source backup09:15 - Moonshots, longevity, and the first baby who may live a thousand years13:00 - Reversing a cell's age and whether we cure cancer this decade14:40 - GLP-1s as a longevity drug and the next Prozac17:30 - Philosopher kings, lab-grown meat, and following the money18:35 - Elon's trillion-dollar valuation and a stock market built on belief19:55 - Bernie Sanders, Sam Altman, and a 50 percent tax on the frontier labs25:00 - Genetic reprogramming, the IVF parallel, and the moving line in the sand26:00 - Argentina, AI personhood, and integrating with the machineCONNECT WITH JASON PADGETTDirector of Growth and Partnerships at CitizenAI📧 jason@mycitizen.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-grant-padgett/X: https://x.com/NoCodeCAIONewsletter (No Code CAIO): https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/newsletter/ Available for interviews and keynotes on AI in education → jason@mycitizen.aiAGI PODCAST NETWORKSchool's Out Saturdays: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/Field Notes newsletter: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/field-notesIndiana AI education events: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/eventsAll AGI Podcast shows: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/networkTOOLS JASON RECOMMENDSMindStudio → https://get.mindstudio.ai/q7n7u5cttkdqRiverside.fm → https://riverside.sjv.io/e1xyBrWispr Flow → https://ref.wisprflow.ai/jason-padgettRESOURCES MENTIONEDMoonshots with Peter Diamandis: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moonshots-with-peter-diamandis/id1648228034Project Glasswing (Anthropic): https://www.anthropic.com/glasswingPlato, The Republic (the philosopher kings concept)Alpha-gal syndrome, the lone star tick red meat allergy
