@bryan_johnson Fuck her right in the pussy.

I got C-holed. Suffered sleep consequences. I busted my screens-off rule. Turned down socializing. Fell behind on work. Kate is now upset. AI is preposterous. As close to magic as I’ve experienced (except a seed becoming a tree and a zygote becoming a baby). It started on April 2nd when Karpathy shared LLM Knowledge bases. I wondered if this was the opening to structure the 1.5 billion data points I’ve collected on my body over the past five years. It's the most dynamic n=1 biomarker dataset in history. It was just sitting there. Next thing I knew two weeks had passed and Kate was wondering if she lost her boyfriend to Claude. I’m non-technical. Which honestly makes me sad. I wish I’d grown up with a computer or at least been around engineer culture. I didn’t know anyone technical until my early 20s. I became an entrepreneur at 21 and had my first of three kids at 25. I sold Braintree Venmo at 34. Learning to code stayed on my to-do list through all of it. The timing was never right. I was always on the outside looking in, wishing I had the skills to assemble 0's and 1's into digital structures. The exhilaration I’ve felt in the past two weeks is hard to explain. The 1.5 billion data points became a functional database, queryable, and microscope into my 70 trillion cells. The biological age of my organs updated in real-time like stock tickers. My build morphed from a knowledge base into a breathing organism that was self-learning and in sync with my heartbeat. I did this entirely on my own. It’s buggy, breaks and the data needs to be cleaned, but damn it’s cool. It became a mirror and ledger, one I could ask questions to. About my psyche, behavioral patterns, biology and protocols. Patterns across my life I couldn't previously connect. It’s made me insatiably hungry for more data. I’ve written about Autonomous Health, how cars now drive themselves and software wires itself. Health is next. My build showed me what it looks like in practice. Before Kate started protesting, she joked that she felt relieved for herself, our colleagues, and the world that I’d found something that matches my energy. That they could all express a sigh of relief. It’s true. This experience left me wondering if I’ve been bored my entire life. Never having found something that could match my work ethic, speed, intensity, and build capacity. Something that didn’t have the delays of the real world, human complications, or logistical drag. Two weeks deep in AI and I'm realizing that when people talk about AI, they're not talking about the same thing. Someone using a chat interface has a completely different opinion than someone building with it. And that chasm deepens for the people seeing what's coming next but isn't yet public. Society can't have a coherent conversation about AI because everyone's intuitions are calibrated to a different version of it. Off-the-shelf LLMs are mostly useless beyond narrow tasks. When they get you 80% there, it's often faster to do the whole thing yourself. And they're dangerous because the hallucination is hard to detect. Now you don't know what you don't know. Give them expanded context, memory, and architectures for self-reflection and autonomous learning, and you start to realize that AI is bigger than any of us can fit in our context window. I need to take Kate on a date, turn my screens off on time, and get some work done. And then properly dose C. Note: the image above is my 2021 baseline when starting this longevity project.

@WptmnH @sentdefender It’s the backend of an axe.

@sentdefender it's fake there's no hammer like this

@sentdefender Par for the course

@RichardBSpencer Like stuxnet you’d likely need to infiltrate a icbm base. Don’t think AI can cross the blood brain barrier.

Palantir claims that “the atomic age is ending” to be replaced by “AI deterrence.” I’d be curious to learn what Karp means by this exactly, if it’s not just blister. Obviously, those nukes aren’t going anywhere. Does he think that AI could overcome nukes? Hack them, render them duds, or something like that? Isn’t first strike capability the ultimate deterrence up to that point?

If anything qualifies as "millennial cringe," it is this

Just a normal day on set. 🙂 See Dacre Montgomery as Arthur in #FacesOfDeath, playing in theaters.

The Pike Effect (or Pike Syndrome) is a psychological concept describing learned helplessness, when repeated failure conditions people to stop trying, even after the barriers are gone.

@CaudilloXIV Looking the part is an artifice that crumbles.

Millennials still dress like they’re 12 years old

RHCP…’Road Tripin’’…or just good living’!?

@lawfulevilgf Wear me as your shoes.

too many men say they’re not into butt stuff because they’re “not gay” but why do you think god put your g-spot in there huh? do you think it’s because god wanted you to be gay? no, god simply wanted you to be submissive to women & let them play with your prostate. it’s nature

Polar bears and grizzlies are increasingly crossing paths, leading to interbreeding between the two species. These hybrids can sometimes grow larger than typical grizzlies. For thousands of years, the two animals occupied separate regions, the Arctic ice for polar bears and more forested areas for grizzlies, so encounters were extremely rare. Recently, however, their territories have begun to overlap more frequently. This has resulted in hybrids known as “pizzly” bears, first confirmed in the wild in 2006. They combine traits from both parents, such as the lighter fur and swimming ability of polar bears along with the strength and adaptability of grizzlies. Studies show these hybrids are capable of reproducing, suggesting this is not just an isolated occurrence but an ongoing biological development. While it highlights the flexibility of species to adapt, scientists note the environmental transformation leading to this could have long-term implications for the survival of pure polar bear populations.

Okay, in a nutshell... I'd like to borrow a little money.

@BallerinaBitty Better than letting your teeth go all wonky on you because you’re stupid.
