@AlecStapp shouldn't policymakers work on the food systems policies?

GLP-1 drugs are the ultimate validation of the techno-solutionist approach to society's most challenging problems. The obesity crisis seemed liked it would just get worse and worse forever. Scolding from public health officials didn't work. Proposals to completely overhaul our food systems were dead on arrival. Instead, we invented a weekly shot (based on Gila monster venom!) that fixes obesity directly. And now, thanks to the economic incentives in our biomedical industry, we have follow-on drugs that will be cheaper, even more effective, and easier to administer (by taking a pill instead of a shot). Policymakers should be focused on figuring out how we can get more breakthrough drugs like GLP-1s (and faster). They also should think hard about which slopulist ideas might inadvertently kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Arsenal fans when they go 1-0 down at West Ham in May, having already won the title.

Did Google already kill Antigravity and forgot to tell us?

Looking forward to grifters selling Taste e-courses

People leaving regular companies: Time for a change! Excited for my next chapter! People leaving AI companies: I have gazed into the endless night and there are shapes out there. We must be kind to one another. I am moving on to study philosophy.

@david_perell how to write algorhythmically well

The state of the Internet in a nutshell: For 2.5 years, whenever I published a video on YouTube, I'd come up with a bespoke title / thumbnail that accurately described what the conversation was about. Then, during the summer, my view count fell. Nothing worked until I found a formula: "How to Write ________ Well." Always the same text. Throw an adverb in the middle, then share a quote from the interview in the thumbnail. People are 0.5% - 1% more likely to click on that title format, so the channel has exploded in growth. This title format is worse for my viewers and soul-deadening for me, but it's leading to so many more views that I'd be crazy not to follow it — and people are significantly more likely to click on videos with the formulaic title. This isn't just a story about YouTube. So much of the Internet works like this now.

So you all laughed at Guardiola too hard and now he benched Haaland. Your fantasy football team is fucked and you're a shit manager for it. Baldie still got it.

I dunno what it is but I fucking love Gyok. It’s like watching a buffalo taking on a pride of lions in a David Attenborough documentary. You know it’s not gonna end well but there’s something that makes you back the buffalo into beating the shit out of the lions.

BREAKING: Real Madrid appoint Tongue Twister as new manager

@Jon_Mackenzie yes, yes it is something coaches are encouraging. Look at Saka's multiple goals like this

There's a lot to like about this goal but I think my favourite thing is the finish. We're seeing an uncanny number of rifled front post finishes high in the net this season which makes me wonder if this is a thing coaches are encouraging.

AI is eating everything human

@arse2mouse And our wingers too dead to defend

We have to break the pattern of these games: Total dominance. Get our noses ahead. Concede dumb goal. Somehow cede all control against a team that could previously barely get a kick.

@rileybrown @stephenhaney Have it create variations on a grid as part of one image. It's really accurate and can easily do 3x3. Then pick what to upscale.

@stephenhaney I'm experimenting. And for this use case, yes. I'm giving an agent the ability to generate thousands of variations.

What is the best, more lightweight, cheaper version of Nano Banana Pro

@GraceSpelman I just put together coverart.pics for browsing album covers and making inspo grids

I will start!! Discogs.com and last.fm. The latter has introduced ads and a “premium” subscription feature, but these two sites are where i discover some of the weirdest & best music

back in Old Times, you could browse cool websites for hours. These were websites not built around monetization. They were built to be explored and rewarded curiosity. So few of them exist today but if you have any you love, please drop them in the replies!

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio Oh yeah

Big upgrade to vibe coding in @GoogleAIStudio lands in Jan, but if you want to test early… 👇🏻
