The now-defunct Longevity Research Institute and Daphnia Labs were founded and run by Sarah Constantin. Geroscience magazine was run by someone at a rationalist house. SENS is adjacent. At least one ACX grant went to support a longevity researcher. I also know of private projects that have never been announced publicly.
It is not AI-level attention, but it is much more than is given to Ukraine.
I agree, Ukraine was an exaggeration. I’ve checked the tags and grants before asking the question, and am well aware of SENS but never thought or heard of it being adjacent. Is it? Didn’t know of the three defunct institutions as well, so I should raise my estimate somewhat.
