Hyperhumanist

[Mikhail Batin @MikhailBatin]

I'm proud to introduce our new project: Eternal Search.

Eternal Search is a deep understanding of the field and a search for the best solutions for the survival of humans and humanity. Eternal Search: we exist so that you exist.
It matters to all of us to understand how the fight against death actually works. We want to live in a world where saving lives comes first.

Right now our database holds 1,037 organizations, 666 grants, 4,425 investors (1,019 of them with complete dossiers), 24 longevity companies (at least 140 signals tracked on each), 70 longevity projects, 41 key figures, around 4,000 public pages and 12,000 internal ones.

At this moment our AI agents are processing and scoring 2,000 ideas about extending life — ideas put forward by companies, by leading figures, and by academic science.
In two months, we've published 772 news items from the field.

Grants, investors, funds, labs, research groups, projects, key people, and companies — we see who's working on what, who's worth watching, and where it's all heading. And we mean to grow.

We see the battle of ideas in life extension, and we're in it. We're looking for the answer to the question: where should the money, the talent, and the attention go to raise our odds of staying alive?

We see every active grant — and for each one, we know who it's truly right for. Come find the money with us.

Using both natural and artificial intelligence, we're analyzing 2,750 of the core questions of transhumanism right now. We can't afford to get it wrong by choosing the wrong question to answer.

Join us — as a developer, a volunteer, or a patron — and help build the best longevity analytics in the world. We have to break through the Longevity Winter, beat the records for lifespan, and find a way for people to survive.

Make your decisions on good data and a deep understanding of the situation

@Coscorrodrift Situation: German grammar allows new words to be minted on the spot since adverbs and adjectives can be combined freely with verbs and substantives without adding a separating space.
This causes mighty confusion in international relations.

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

@akarlin The lilting and sunlit sea in question

@Ancommiey "originally"?

Me: clearly someone hasn't heard of Baumol's Cost Disease

@BecomingCritter If you think twitter is of similar quality to reels you're using it extremely badly

[knudrete @knudrete]

@AaronBergman18 Nice but wild animal welfare doesn't matter much now because we don't yet have the power to do much about it!

[knudrete @knudrete]

@AlecStapp Probably enlightening for those who have never wondered why firms don't get bigger given economies of scale.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

I'm proud to announce a trial!

And YOU -- yes, you! -- might be able to get in it.

At the end of this thread, you'll find a link to sign up.

The trial is for a gene therapy for HUGE MUSCLES🧵 (like this cow)

@akarlin They can't program nearly as well as humans, do laypeople really believe they do now? They can do some simple things, which is impressive enough, but making code that works is as relevant to good programming as writing grammatically correct sentences is to good writing.

[knudrete @knudrete]

@corsaren Or maybe our intuitions are optimized for the real world where you can't just assume you just have a complete true understanding of the situation. Not stepping into giant blenders or trusting a creepy guys with your DNA are pretty solid heuristics.

@cheersitskatie A side view would allow us to judge the tituation better

[knudrete @knudrete]

@AMoser_E @akarlin Well those are not going to want society be run by AI in any case ...

[knudrete @knudrete]

@akarlin Brain waves and genetic predictors to figure out if I prefer a fancy IPA or the expensive tomatoes?
And producing to satisfy habits means nothing can ever improve.

[knudrete @knudrete]

@akarlin The planning problem is dwarfed by the measuring problem: Without forcing everyone to work out their actual preferences in various daily tests (purchasing) there is no empirical basis on which to optimize.

@insurrealist Of course you can grow, loser.

@peterwildeford And in the months after the US "wins" due to this lead, what happens that made it worth it?

It must be something that makes the US lead a permanent advantage ... but I'm not sure what it could be?

[knudrete @knudrete]

@karpathy Claude Opus 4.7 also fumbles the car wash "problem", 4.5 did not. I'm in the second category, and that has made me update towards longer timelines. Also, speaking as a professional, the models absolutely cannot "coherently restructure an entire code base" in some useful way.
