Augment Your Life: Dan Siroker on Building the Prosthetic Mind

Would you outsource your memory if it made you a better friend, parent, or leader?

In this mind-expanding episode of The Augmented Life, Michael Tiffany sits down with Dan Siroker—co-founder and CEO of Limitless—to explore how AI-powered memory augmentation is changing what it means to be present, productive, and human.

Dan shares the origin story behind the Limitless Pendant, why he still codes as CEO, and what it’s like to wear a device that records everything you say and hear. They cover everything from stem-winding user stories to controversial pushback from people unready to meet their own data-driven reflection.

This conversation dives deep into:

  • What it means to “program yourself” using external memory
  • Why forgetting 90% of your life is a bug, not a feature
  • The daily feedback loop that made Dan a better father
  • The future of AI assistants who take work off your plate before you even ask
  • Why Dan believes our kids will be shocked we ever lived without perfect memory

If you’ve ever wanted a more present life, a better mind, or a second brain you can trust—this one is for you.
