Over the past 40 days, Gemini has helped me lose 12 kilos. Forty days ago, my reports were concerning. Had zero motivation to figure this. So I put it all on Gemini and literally asked it to help me improve the numbers. I told it, “I live in xyz area, you tell me what to order and from where.” I stopped thinking about it myself.
I would ask Gemini, and it would tell me what to order. Slowly, it started learning more about me. It started asking me to walk a bit, and I listened. If I went out for dinner, I would just upload a bad picture of the place, and within seconds it would figure out where I was and tell me exactly what to order. Every meal - just a normal picture uploaded with no overwhelming feeling of having to manually break down what I was eating - and it would quite accurately estimate the macros and keep a record of them.
Then slowly, I started uploading my tickets and hotel bookings to this bookmarked health chat. It would literally remember when I was checking out, where I was, and help me order accordingly. I stopped thinking about food and what to do. Then good habits compound, so I started putting in some effort myself too.
I’m much healthier and lighter than when I started 40 days ago. It’s the fastest I’ve ever lost weight and gotten healthy. And to think I don’t even have to screenshot my Fitbit data every now and then to give it more details and that they have built it around solving the problem I was already using it for - just take my fkn money, I say.
I think AI coaches can bring about genuinely positive changes because they’re more well-read than the most well-read trainer on the planet, and you have real-time access 24/7. And when you start giving it more context around your life it compounds in its abilities. Of course, it comes with some hallucinations and inaccuracies, but if you’re not smart enough to navigate that, you’d probably be worse off even without using it.
PS: have I turned my life over fully? definitely not. I know I’ll be back to the weight I started, just don’t know by when. 😂

After 8 years in India I thought my stomach was tough. Can't remember the last time I got food poisoning. Then I travelled to thr city where my India journey began in 2017. Delhi Belly welcomed me back with open arms 🫂 "It has been too long brother. Too long."

There’s this guy Phakir, a security guard in Bangalore who vlogs about his life. Between cooking, 12-hour shifts and sleep, he carries the grief of losing his father and brother, with no glimmer of hope. Quiet, unshakable resilience in a life few know.

@prashantlive7 I did not make baseless claim. My claim is based on 20 years working in healthcare industry. Leave the doctors, almost 90% of engineers from India cant do this. And these engineers have 2 years of college level maths.

This is factually wrong and intellectually lazy. Sit down Unc

Don't trust me? Pick any series of numbers (10-20) and ask any AIIMS doctor to calculate mean, median, and mode. Then try the same with someone doing MD. This would include @theliverdoc who at this point is checking chatGPT to learn these terms
English

@chinmay You made a sweeping, baseless claim about an entire profession and built it on zero evidence.
Mean, median, mode of 20 numbers is high-school math. If you think that’s the bar for statistical literacy, you’re not serious
Don’t confuse snark with insight. You’re just projecting
English

@prashantlive7 And your evidence to say its factually wrongs is:
1. I am an AIIMS Doc and can do this
2. I asked an AIIMS Doc and he was able to do it
3. I just have a vibe that "uncle is factually wrong"
