Silicon Valley’s billionaire brahmin class have long been obsessed with health and fitness and, lately, more and more of them seem to be toying with the idea of living forever. As a result, it’s not all too surprising that one of Sam’s investments is the “life extension” startup Retro Biosciences. The company says it wants to utilize experimental new technologies to add ten years “to the healthy human lifespan”—a cause that the AI guru Altman recently supported by making an $180 million contribution. I guess if Sam survives the inevitable human-robot war that he’s currently busy fomenting, he’s hoping to live a long and fruitful life.

Score: Most dystopian rich person thing ever.
