Follow this guy. He’s about to spend an entire year without looking at a screen, while tracking his biomarkers and overall health to see what changes.
It feels like removing a dagger from my leg.
Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep.
Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free.
On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before.
Screens are a legit addiction.
I'm curious to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit).
There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground.
Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.

One of the greatest viruses of the modern man is looking at Instagram Stories. You will melt your brain looking at a barrage of outcomes—like vacations, parties, cars—with no visibility of the process that got them there.
If you deny a huge part of yourself for the sake of earning “love” from the wrong person, you will slowly fade and dim until there’s nothing left of you. I was always a pop girl, a Disney child. American dreams, The Parents Trap — you almost killed it, but at last, it’s over.

Was asked to turn this song into an “Rnb” song at the time by a well known music manager in Hollywood, because RnB was what was hot back then. Thank god I had the artistic integrity to say fuck off. Came at a cost (living off social welfare lol) but at least I still sound good
Didn’t listen to A&Rs who wanted to re-do the entire production on Mirage or Us back in 2015, stayed faithful to my original production (I did it myself, at 25 years old).
Result: it hasn’t aged a bit. Still current.
Moral of the story: TRUST THE ARTIST.

These live AIs will soon be able to create a simulation that’s faithful to the world, maybe faithful to one’s life, evolving live, able to predict what’s next based on each persons specific patterns. we’ll have the option to live an alternative destiny in our personal simulation
5 months of amazing progress in world models.
Where will we be in 5 more months? 5 more years? 50 years?

I mean it’s pretty obvious who are the villains in this movie. Who would trust a product called “Ozempic” or “Claude” when literally they both sound like they’re out there to destroy you. I mean “Claude” lol. Creepy AF.

I approve the creative direction

C’est bien parceque à Paris, si tu sors de chez toi en pyjama avec ton vieux sweat de 2019 tout pourri, des doc Martens retrouvées dans un placard (seule paire de shoes qu’il me reste), et une jupe qui était destinée à Vinted, tu es actually fashionable et Demna approuverait.
