>There is no evidence that anti-aging is psychologically what’s driving the AI race
Sure. As I’ve said, I’m just speculating. I think it’s extremely hard to get evidence for this, since people don’t talk openly about it. Those of us who admit publicly that we want to live forever (or indefinitely long) are excepcional cases. Even most people working in longevity will tell you that they don’t care about increasing our lifespan, that they just want us to be healthier. Sam Altman will tell the media that he has no interest in living forever, that he just wants to “add 10 years of healthspan” (cause that’s the moderate thing to say)… and then sign up with Nectome for mind-uploading. I think actions speak louder than words.
The immortality/radical life extension/living forever/not dying topic is extremely taboo, and most people will keep dancing around it. Heck, a lot of them will tell you that they would never want to live forever while symultaneously believing in religions that promise them eternal life. There are no limits to the cognitive dissonance that people are willing to embrace regarding this topic.

So no, I don’t have evidence to back up my claim.
