@bryan_johnson This is awesome. You should team up with a great dev and turn it into an interactive web experience. Visual analytics on your 1.5B data points, real-time organ insights, and a mirror for anyone to learn human biology deeper. The world needs this.

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.

@techdevnotes Probably just for initial training, GROK uses Grokipedia as its knowladge pillar. Not sure if RAG or directly trained on it

After getting full 8 hours of sleep (felt amazing when I woke up) my sleep spiraled back down to 6-7 hours per night leaving me exhausted and allowing my mind to wander and loose focus. Implementing Chamomile tea before bed and no screens after 8 pm which has been the hardest

Not happy with 11pm bed time but finally got some sleep. Temperature change during the night woke me up a few times, need to solve that for quality continuous sleep. Tech video editing almost finished, I would rate it 6/10 but going to post anyway.

Getting better at going to bed. Grateful for the time we live in. Editing a tech video + thinking up a new one in the health niche. Today's goal be in bed by 9PM.

If you don't have a fitness tracker GET ONE NOW. It doesn't have to be anything fancy just be sure to track your data daily. Even if its not the most accurate it will help you develop better habits and gain deeper insight into your body and feelings.

Currently I have 3 YouTube channels and will be posting daily about my progress, ideas and obstacles. My video editing skills are amateurish. My script writing skills are not good. I am not a good speaker. But I will make it happen Thank you and feel free to AMA 🚀

After making this account and sitting on it for some time I have overcome the subconscious burden of getting started. The goal is to document my YouTube journey as well as my thoughts and any future endeavors. I am starting from ZERO with no investment capital

I have tried enough things to know what I want and who I want to be. In order to get to this point I had to start, try and drop many things. Things which were good, bad, profitable, expensive and worst of all time consuming. Which brings me to building things to last.
