Bryan Johnson wants an AI agent to filter his social media feed

Bryan Johnson, a 48-year-old entrepreneur and biohacker, says he is ready to put an AI buffer between himself and his social feed after completing 40- and 70-hour social media fasts. He likened social media to pollution and water toxins: "Like other toxins, it accumulates," he wrote.

"You can't unsee or unfeel what you've consumed. It settles into mental tissue like heavy metals, producing chronic low-grade inflammation." Johnson called time away from the apps the "only remedy," but argued eliminating social media altogether isn't realistic: "'Just put the phone down' is as practical as telling someone in 19th-century London to stop breathing coal smoke," he wrote.

Instead he proposed "an AI layer between you and the feed. Filtering rage, removing vanity metrics and translating sensationalism into calm, factual language. Preserving signal and eliminating noise," he wrote. He spelled out his personal preference plainly: "I never want to see the raw feed.
