Honestly, I haven’t seen much about individual biological immortality, or even significant life-extension, in the last few years.
I suspect progress on computational consciousness-like mechanisms has fully eclipsed the idea that biological brains in the current iteration are the way of the future. And there’s been roughly no progress on upload, so the topic of immortality for currently-existing humans has mostly fallen away.
Also, if/when AI is vastly more effective than biological intelligence, it takes a lot of the ego-drive away for the losers.
