Ninety days on a full hormone-and-peptide protocol. The vials are running dry, a blood panel is two weeks out, and after three years the Cuban cigars are done as of today. Round one was the learning curve — here's the scorecard before the real plan begins.
Your agents run at max reasoning, in YOLO mode, around the clock — and the bill scales with ambition, not headcount. The fix isn't a cheaper model. It's a control plane: see every dollar, send judgment to the frontier and volume to the floor, cache hard, and bound every loop.
One normal day in a biohacking family: the kids burn energy at football, then refuel on grilled protein and a table full of fermented vegetables — and I get a clean run at my own inputs. Here's why Korean BBQ is quietly one of the best meals a biohacker can order.
Two updates: a Colombian-Arab chef teaching the kids to cook — with the real science on why the Levantine pantry is one of the healthiest on earth — and a follow-up to the oily-skin post. The skin turned smooth, and the honest reason is mostly metabolic, not the peptides.
Everyone keeps asking whether AI will take their kids’ jobs. Wrong question. The kids growing up now won’t compete with AI — they’ll speak it natively, and a head start on that fluency is the best investment I know of.
Get outside in the first hour after waking and you set your alertness now and your sleep tonight — no supplement does that for free. The science, the dose by cloud cover, my one-hour pool-sun-sauna routine, and the 10-minute version for busy days.
Tomorrow, Anthropic’s best model leaves the Max plan and starts charging by the token — on top of your subscription. I’m not paying it. Here’s the stack I’m switching to, and why I think Anthropic blinks.
Two rival frontier models, both at maximum reasoning, in one loop that ships unattended for days. It runs $500–$1,000 a day — and measured against what it delivers, that's cheap.
The Sol/Terra/Luna preview is now real. GPT-5.6 shipped July 9 — and the story isn't the benchmarks. It's that Sol is bundled into ChatGPT Pro at half of Claude Fable 5's token price, plus one coding benchmark OpenAI quietly skipped.
Anthropic found a small, privileged workspace inside Claude — internal patterns, readable with a new Jacobian 'J-lens', holding concepts the model reasons with but never writes down. Not a consciousness claim. Maybe something more useful: a window into the thoughts a model doesn't print.
OpenAI isn't shipping GPT-5.6 as one model. It's shipping a ladder — Sol, Terra, Luna — that turns the frontier into a pricing decision. Public launch Thursday. Here's how to read the three tiers and where each one actually earns its cost.
Anthropic's ClaudeDevs shared the pattern they lean on with Fable 5: don't make the frontier model do the work — make it the advisor. A cheaper executor runs the loop and calls up to Fable 5 only at the decisions that matter. Most tokens bill at the cheap rate; judgment stays near the top.

OpenAI's GPT-Live rolls out in ChatGPT today: full-duplex voice models that listen and speak at the same time, and quietly hand the hard questions to a frontier model in the background. The interface just stopped being a prompt box.

Anthropic published the oral history of Claude Code — from a safety-research side project nicknamed clide to the tool that changed how Silicon Valley writes software. The interesting part isn't the launch. It's the four quiet years before it, and the shrug it got after.
Biohacking
One of the biggest longevity levers isn't worn, swallowed, or tracked — it's the company you keep. The science is surprisingly blunt.
Biohacking
The recharge weekend, concluded — at a zen-samurai finca outside Santa Fe de Antioquia. Batteries full, back to the protocol. Plus the seven virtues of Bushido, read as a biohacker.
Biohacking
The one lever most people skip isn't another input — it's recovery. Why I made weekend downtime a deliberate protocol, plus the short science on readiness and rest.
Biohacking
The piece of the protocol I always skip is recovery — so I finally added it. Yoga, twice a week, at home, with a yogina from Venezuela. Here's why the least clinical thing I do is pure biohacking.
AI
Fable 5 is back, but it's not in my Max plan — using it spends separate credits. So I made one folder run Claude Code on a different account and the Fable model, interactive and headless. The shim, the token, and why the headless loop is the hard part.
AI
Last time I proved a loop could finish a batch once, with me still in the room. This time it caught its own unfinished work mid-run, filed the ticket, shipped it, and hardened its own machine on the way. Here's the whole system, drawn from zero, and the honest ledger of where it still needed me.
Biohacking
A few months with the Oura ring, and the honest verdict isn't a number — it's that I still wear the thing. I've abandoned every watch I ever bought; this is the first tracker small enough that I stopped noticing it. Plus why the smaller new Oura 5 makes the point louder.
AI
Anthropic's most capable widely released model was frozen by a US export-control order three days after launch. Eighteen days later the controls came off — and the reason it came back says more than the reason it left. The whole story, in one place.
Biohacking
Two weeks after carbs came back, nearly every bar in the gym went up about 25%. Here's the fourth-set 100 kg bench on video — and the honest science of why fuel, not willpower, moved the numbers.
AI
Hand an agent a screenshot and ask for a pixel-perfect frontend with no human review, and you get a confident guess. The fix isn't a smarter model — it's turning “respect the design” from a vibe into a contract a machine can check.
