@robbwolf a worthy read that’s been making its rounds

I'm not remotely an expert in AI, but I have been a student of processes that can really sneak up on us due to the nature of exponential growth. This is an interesting thought experiment along this line: A hypothetical, exponentially doubling volume of water (starting from one droplet, doubling every minute) would fill a large stadium like Yankee Stadium in roughly 45 to 50 minutes. For the majority of that time, the water level remains low and barely noticeable, with the stadium appearing over 90% empty just 4–5 minutes before it is completely filled. 90% empty just minutes before it's full. This story has a way of raising the stakes by making the situation such that you are handcuffed to the top seats, so how long do you have to get away before drowning? Most gut instinct puts this at weeks or months, certainly not less than an hour! It's that later stage of en exponential when it goes from unnoticeable to inescapable. We are likely in the last 4-5 minutes of the AI story if we are to draw upon the analogy above. I have no idea what that looks like, how it plays out, I just know it's coming and it will change everything. And rate of change is one of the most difficult to manage things in all of existence.

@businessbarista Claude

I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code. It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives. Comment “Claude” if you want to join.

One of the most rewarding compliments some can give you is: “Thanks for not wasting my time” Will strive to do that more consistently

Overheard at Costco from college bros evaluating energy drink brands: “Go with this one, least amount of artificial dyes” Nature is healing 🌱

@george__mack Just be authentically yourself, there’s only one of you. Everything else will figure itself out.

What advice did you ignore from your parents that you now find yourself giving to other people?

If the true price of food were built into the price we pay… then your grass-fed steak and organic, regeneratively grown produce and food would be much cheaper than industrial food.

Rotten candy is the ultimate MTB snack

I've seen people scared to exercise because it's "stressful." Well, stressful is the point. You don't adapt to anything unless it poses a challenge. Challenges are healthy. You can handle them. Humans are very good at achieving homeostasis. At getting used to situations and even stressors to the point that they're no longer actually stressful. A recent study looked at hard HIIT and resistance training in supposedly the most fragile population around: the untrained elderly. Everything improved with training. Blood lipids, muscle mass, endurance. Initial bouts were stressful and raised cortisol, heart rate, lactate. But then the training effect occurred. Turns out that over time, the more fit you get the less stressful exercise-induced stress actually is. The cortisol rise is blunted. Heart rate doesn't get so high. Lactate lowers. So many young people are totally dialed in on supplementation, nutrition, sunlight, sleep, but instead of doing some hard physical things once in a while they languish under chicken lamps and put weird research chemicals in their belly buttons.

best thing about natural food conferences is trying 4+ brands of ice cream … all before 11am all were high protein ice creams (shocker!), so it was a huge morning for the macros winning flavor goes to @eatsmearcase PB 🥜🥜🥜

@OnlyThroughGod Any recommendations on gum disease?

My little brother had a cavity diagnosed this summer at the dentist. Instead of doing a filling, I had him swish Vitamin D+K in his mouth daily, and had him switch to a hydroxyapatite toothpaste. This past month at his follow-up visit, there wasn’t a cavity to fill.

@drmarkhyman @function 2025

I’m gifting 10 @function memberships. Comment "2025" below to get one. Ten people will be randomly selected at 11pm ET on January 8th. At 65, I feel more vibrant and alive than I did in my 20s, and that's because I finally figured out the root causes of certain imbalances and how to optimize my health by tracking key biomarkers like inflammation, nutrient levels, and hormone function. That's what I want for you. I'm personally gifting 10 Function memberships for 2025. No strings attached. Just me, believing that YOU deserve the opportunity to truly take control of your health. For good measure, Function's legal team asked me to add these terms. tinyurl.com/ctj9c8w8
