It's basically bunch of people who see themselves as too smart to believe in God, instead they have just replaced it with AI and Singularity and attribute similar stuff to it eg. eternal life which is just heaven in religion. Amodei was hawking doubling of human lifespan to a bunch of boomers not too long ago. Ponce de León also went to search for the fountain of youth. It's a very common theme across human history. AI is just the new iteration where they mirror all their wishes and hopes.
