That's not how AI and the future works, these technologies are far too widespread and ubiquetous to only be limited to a select few for very long, and when they ARE only available to a select few, they are at a stage where they don't work very well anyways. Look at cellphones. It's just like that, but much faster.

Can’t a mind be spent at 50? Or 25? Certainly I would like to find out when mine would, and a possibility to live longer could help in that. I am quite sure my grandpa didn’t want to die when he did.

Yeah, I'd say that this is unfortunately more likely to happen than not. Especially given how ChatGPT is currently privatized.
