I may have taken the wrong lesson from Bryan Johnson's visit to our office.
If Bryan has achieved such incredible results after getting serious about health in his 40s -- and if the tech is only getting better -- maybe I can wait another 10 or 15 years before investing in my own health.
This pattern of thought comes up often in the AI industry. If models are getting better, why waste time making incremental progress on the infrastructure and application layers when growth in model capabilities will eventually consume all progress?
After nearly five years working in AI, I am confident that there is a lot of value to deliver along the way between improvements in model quality. And that continuously operating at the frontier positions you to take proper advantage of these advances.
Bryan makes the same argument for health. Small habits and choices made early compound for a lifetime, and putting the essential structures and routines in place makes the cool optimizations actually worthwhile.
Thank you to the entire Immortals team for a fantastic event.
