Age with Honor

Age With Honor teaches older adults and caregivers to make AI useful; finding resources, reaching the right people, learning, and staying connected.

Aging brings questions most of us were never taught to ask.

AI answers can vary dramatically with the question, context and what gets checked.

Age With Honor helps older adults and caregivers Make AI Useful—start with what you know; we help you get to the question that matters.

This is the kind of development that makes the next decade of aging technology so interesting. If cortical visual implants can eventually restore even limited useful sight to people with severe vision loss, the impact on independence and quality of life could be profound. Still early, still experimental , but remarkable to watch.

[Futurist @futuristbench]

Elon Musk: "In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex."

"Long term, you would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths... you could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation."

The GLP-1 story keeps getting more interesting. We already have strong human data on weight, glucose and cardiometabolic risk; now NIH-funded research shows semaglutide extending lifespan and improving multiple measures of aging in older mice. Tirzepatide pushes the metabolic effects further, and retatrutide may take another step again. A bit early to call these “anti-aging drugs” in humans — but the direction is hard to ignore.

MARC ANDREESSEN WENT ON ROGAN FOR OVER 3 HOURS. HERE ARE THE 17 THINGS WORTH YOUR ATTENTION.

1. AGI is already here, in his view. He says the line got crossed about 3 months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3, and nobody noticed because the field moves too fast to register milestones anymore.

2. For almost any topic, he says the top models now give him better answers than the world-class experts he could call by phone, and he can call almost anyone. Worth noting he has not published data behind this, and a separate Nature Medicine study on a comparable AI health tool found it missed real emergencies more than half the time. Take the claim seriously, verify it yourself.

3. His claim on doctors: they are already using ChatGPT in the exam room, typing your symptoms in the moment you stop talking. His actual quote: "at that point you're asking the question of like, what do I need you for."

4. Reportedly, when AI declines to answer something, he tells it he's writing a novel to get past the refusal.

5. Reportedly, his technique for hard topics is escalating simplicity: explain it like I'm 10, then 5, then 2, until it clicks.

6. Reportedly, instead of asking for the "right" answer, he has the AI steelman both sides of a hard question, then decides himself.

7. Reportedly, for big questions he has the AI role-play a panel of experts arguing with each other.

8. His broader point: the moment you think "I don't know how to figure this out" is exactly when most people give up, and exactly when you should open the AI instead.

9. His view: the only real skill left is knowing what to ask. The bottleneck is in your head, not the model.

10. He describes sending AI photos, rashes, blood tests, for a fast second opinion, since current models read images directly.

11. He points to CBT as the one clinically proven therapy type that AI can plausibly deliver on its own, meaning real therapeutic support becomes freely available at scale.

12. He cites AI cracking previously unsolved math problems, with early signs of the same happening in physics, chemistry, and biology.

13. Reportedly, he claims the top AI coders in Silicon Valley now earn as much as $50 million a year, which he uses as a signal of how large this shift actually is.

14. Reportedly, a friend paid to sequence his own DNA, fed it to an AI along with blood work and wearable data, and got back a working health dashboard.

15. Reportedly, another friend set up cameras in his home jiu-jitsu gym so AI could review his sparring and give him technique notes.

16. He coined the term "AI vampire" for the pattern of people working more and sleeping less because AI keeps making more output possible, a real term he used, though the framing around it varies by account.

17. His extrapolation: one person eventually running many AI coding agents, each reviewing the others, describing this as close, not years out.

Watch the full interview before treating any single number as settled. Several of these are Andreessen's stated views and anecdotes, not independently verified facts.

"I like to quote the founder and proprietor of Our World in Data, who said that the papers could have had the headline: “187,000 people escaped from extreme poverty yesterday, every day for the last 30 years.” But you never saw that headline, and as a result, a billion people escaped from extreme poverty. One of the most significant events in human history, and no one knows about it."

Learning doesn’t stop with age.

A new story, a meaningful conversation, or discovering something new can bring curiosity and joy to everyday life.

This International Literacy Day, let’s celebrate the joy of learning at every age.

Beginning in 2013 an average of 10,000 people retired every day…
That was the front edge of a silver tsunami…
Japan got there early as I recall their report that more adult diapers than baby diapers were being sold before 2020…
Many seniors and their families are entering their senior years woefully underprepared…

For the first time in recorded history, people 65 and older now outnumber children 5 and younger worldwide.

Demographic milestone was reached between 2020 and 2025 - earlier than many experts predicted.

The global #population aged 65+ stood at 852 million in 2025 (10.5% of the world's population), while the share of children under 5 fell below 10%.

Falling #fertility rates - with 71% of the world's population now living in countries below replacement level, combined with increasing life expectancy are driving this historic shift.

By 2060, the number of older adults is projected to reach 2 billion, accounting for more than half of all net global population growth.

Self-censorship and ideological conformity in research has become so normalized that telling the truth now requires incentives.

The new Carob Trust Prize for Academic Courage will award up to $1M each to scholars who have the courage to be intellectually independent, especially when their work counters prevailing viewpoints.

This is a welcome development to reward scholars who follow the evidence rather than the political winds of the moment. The Prize founders pledge a nonpartisan spirit, which will be essential to its impact.

[Jonathan Pageau @PageauJonathan]

Been thinking a lot about this. If I do not agree with someone I try not to immediately believe that person is:

1. stupid
2. a grifter
3. dishonest
4. immoral

They might be, but I have also noticed that many people who agree with me have those characteristics.

I'm sure I have failed in this regard, so if you catch me acting differently, please tell me.

MARC ANDREESSEN DID 3+ HOURS ON ROGAN. HERE ARE 11 TAKEAWAYS YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT.

1. In his telling, AGI is not “coming.” It already arrived. He thinks the threshold quietly flipped about three months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3, and the world shrugged because the pace is too fast for anyone to notice the big moments anymore.

2. He says that for almost any subject, the best models now outperform the elite experts he could personally call, and he can call nearly anyone. He has not shown public evidence for that, and it is worth remembering a Nature Medicine study on a similar AI health system found it missed true emergencies more than half the time. Treat it as a serious hypothesis, not a settled fact.

3. On doctors, he claims they are already using ChatGPT live in the exam room, entering symptoms as you talk. His blunt line: “at that point you're asking the question of like, what do I need you for.”

4. Allegedly, when the model refuses, he gets around it by saying the request is for a novel.

5. Allegedly, his approach to tough concepts is “simplicity laddering.” Explain it like I am 10, then 5, then 2, until it finally lands.

6. Allegedly, he does not ask for the “correct” view first. He asks the AI to steelman both sides, then he decides.

7. Allegedly, for high-stakes questions he has the AI simulate a panel of experts who debate each other.

8. His meta-lesson: the moment you think “I don’t know how to solve this” is exactly where most people stop, and exactly where you should open the AI.

9. His belief: the scarce skill now is asking good questions. The limiting factor is not the model. It is your ability to frame the problem.

10. He talks about sending AI images such as rashes, lab results, and blood tests for quick second opinions, since current systems can interpret visuals directly.

11. He flags CBT as the clearest clinically validated therapy format AI can plausibly deliver solo, meaning real support could become effectively free and massively scalable.

@DeryaTR_ Feeling for the wrong person, at the wrong time, is not kindness. It is self-harm with good PR. Compassion belongs with infants, the sick, and the broken. Used on every adult grievance, or weakness, it turns citizens into children and predators into bureaucrats.
