pump.science: The Tokenized Prediction Market for Longevity Regimens

AI summary of the linked article

Pump.science is a platform, built on pump.fun, that lets people submit longevity regimen ideas to be tested on C. elegans worms by the Wormbot and turns the experiments into a tokenized prediction market. The Wormbot is a low-cost platform developed by Ora Biomedical, founded by Matt Kaeberlein and Mitchell Lee, and the article says C. elegans have a lifespan of 20 days and about 40% of their proteins are similar to human ones. Users can submit a regimen or buy its tokens, and they can watch camera images and raw movement and growth data as leading indicators, with the stated goal of predicting which regimens will increase human lifespan as measured by Percentage Life Extension (PLE).

Pump.everything before we've not made everything into a betting market on Solana we sha'nt stop.

Then the question that doesn't escape me is this: why live longer in this economy? I mean if I were to live longer I'd probably wanna do something to make the world more liveable first - but that's just me.

The wormbot is interesting though. Once we have all those worms live 100 years, where will they go?

wait they want to make worms live 100 years? Remember when they did gain of function research on a deadly virus? Guess Iā€˜m a bio safetyist
