I needed help to pull off immortality. Not fake immortality, like my name on some library bronze bust or a vanity book. Real no-death. So I recruited my own advisory board. Genetics, bioinformatics, nutrition, longevity finance, data science, and finally, a dystopian. Some traded in secrets, others Bitcoin, the rest just wanted to put a man on the moon of life. We covered our names and faces when we met, in person or Zoom. Each one was in high demand, so meetings were brief, with most contact over Signal.

    Hey everyone, I wanted to share a new tool we've created called Jotte (https://jotte.ai) which we believe can be a game-changer for AI-generated longform writing like novels and research papers. As you may know, current AI like ChatGPT and GPT-3 have a token limit of around 4000 tokens or 3000 words, which limits their effectiveness for longer writing tasks. With Jotte, we've developed a graph-based approach to summarize information and effectively give AI "unlimited" memory. Jotte remembers recent details like the meal a character ate a page ago, while avoiding getting bogged down…
