I went to a private longevity night hosted by Bryan Johnson in San Francisco. I needed a cookie afterward.
A reporter attends an exclusive, high-demand longevity event in San Francisco hosted by biohacker Bryan Johnson. The event focused on health metrics and bio-optimization, highlighting the intense interest in life-extension technology among the tech elite.
Why it matters
It captures the cultural shift in Silicon Valley where longevity and biohacking are becoming as prominent as AI in social and professional discourse.
Bryan Johnson cheers on participants as they try to do as many push-ups as possible during a longevity test. Ben Bergman/Business Insider 3,000 people signed up for a "private evening" with biohacker Bryan Johnson. There were only 100 slots. The evening featured breathwork, bioage tests, turmeric juice, and food "guided" by Johnson's chef. I was struck by how many questions came down to people wanting to essentially hack life. The only topic these days that gets people in San Francisco to stop talking about AI is living forever. When Baseten, an AI startup (what else?), announced a few weeks ago, it was hosting a "private evening" with tech entrepreneur and longevity evangelist Bryan Johnson and VC Sarah Guo at its SF office, over 3,000 people applied to get in for just 100 slots.
