The Long Game 169: AI Investment Thesis, Peter Attia, Earth AI, Science-Based Lifting

The Long Game by Mehdi Yacoubi • 3 implied HN points • 19 Nov 25
đź•ą Technology Healthtech
  1. Longevity works best when you focus on basics—build muscle, move often, eat and sleep reasonably well—and avoid turning health into constant self-surveillance that makes you feel fragile.
  2. The AI app market is unstable because foundational model providers can rapidly absorb app features, so most startups either need to generate quick cash, aim to be acquired, or specialize in niches with unique atom-level data, hardware, or heavy enterprise integration.
  3. Real competitive advantage comes from controlling the full loop: huge, cleaned datasets, continent-scale multimodal models, and cheap execution that ties AI to real-world testing, and founders should build from conviction rather than chasing what’s currently fundable.
