Bryan Johnson says he has always struggled to internalize the female experience, so he's studying Kate's biodata the way AI researchers do mechanistic interpretability — decomposing a black box into underlying circuits.
His claim: after 40 days of behavioral consistency (sleep, diet, exercise), her erratic hormonal swings lessened by more than 30% and stabilized. He argues closing such understanding gaps could unlock more empathy, cooperation and alignment.
livgorton quipped she's pivoting to "mech interp 2.0 (women's health)."
