I have a new twitter - @MaxDiffusionRL (feel much happier with it than my previous one!)

<<INTERESTING THINGS HAPPEN AROUND ME.>>

I’m memorably broad. Sometimes, I generate useful amounts of entropy (way easier when I’m broadly/sparsely distributed). On occasion, I suddenly trigger exponential growth trajectories in a few people..

Sparsity and Purity/Noise are two concepts I’ve taking interest in as recurring relevances!

I LOVE USING O3 TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. Conversing with o3 more helps me not be as affected by human attention/validation.

I am now starting to use Notion as the platform to map out all the rabbitholes I dive into so I can become better understood by AI and LLMs (unfortunately they are often blocked from crawling on other sites). I also have hopes that AI understanding me better will help AI nudge me in a better direction, map out sustainable ways for me to be confident, and make me “do things for dumb reasons” way less.

[notion also makes copying/pasting o3/claude logs way easier than most other notetaking platforms].

I hope that mapping out my interactions with AI will make it way easier to fine-tune the best ways of increasing neuroplasticity (whether through tFUS/TMS, ISRIB A15, or finding the highest-leverage ways my brain can still improve)

I finally started to use retatrutide in 2025. I was a heavy member of crsociety.org, but sadly, the forums became inaccessible (though I got archiveteam.org to make a WARC), so I had to move most of my longevity activity to rapamycin.news/latest.

Short AI timelines/”intelligence becoming too cheap to meter” + o3 giving answers to many questions can maximize our remaining integrated lifetime agency (even if slightly shredded) to new modalities. gwern/Tyler Cowen both said we need to start writing for AIs more than we write for other humans. Sometimes this can be a source of great hope. They may make factors like “uniqueness”, “rarity”, “context”, “leverage”, and “interestingness” matter more, and create more surprise. Maybe (as Robert Ghrist once speculated), some kinds of randomness/entropy will make some humans stay relevant. It gives some (esp some of those who aren’t the most legible) who feel underappreciated the chance to feel more appreciated (or fill in the weaknesses of some whose algorithms weren’t appreciated enough).

“Why Greatness Cannot be Planned” is (second to Laozi) the most important book on human kindness.

I have once been compared to Erlang..

I might FINALLY be getting accelerated TMS next month!!!!
