SITUATION EXPLAINED: What comes after GLP-1s as the next human enhancement drug? We asked @maxmarchione, founder of @superpower "GLP-1s, when developed to treat diabetes and obesity, are largely used to make people look better, to maybe increase energy levels. They're used for human enhancement." "I think the next big human enhancement drug is going to be something that allows you to sleep less but feel the same and live the same." "Eli Lilly has actually made a bet on this. They acquired a small molecule that targets narcolepsy... the reason they're paying $6 billion for this is not because it's a narcolepsy drug. It's because they think this same drug could allow normal people, average people, everyone to sleep four hours a night, five hours a night, and feel like they've slept eight." "This drug is an orexin agonist... higher orexin levels are what we see in people who have the short sleeper phenotype."

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days. It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories. I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming. I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing. Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.
