“Over the past few years, some people have updated toward pretty short AGI timelines. If your timelines are really short, then maybe you shouldn’t sign up for cryonics, because the singularity – good or bad – is overwhelmingly likely to happen before you biologically die”
But such a scenario means there is less value in saving for retirement and this should make it financially easier for you to sign up for cryonics. Also, the sooner we get friendly AGI, the sooner people in cryonics will be revived meaning there is a lower risk that your cryonics provider will fail before you can be revived.
