The ORIGINAL goal of these drugs was to treat diabetes, which is does a great job of, with an unfortunate side effect of weight loss. But us diabetics intend to keep taking it for the rest of our lives, because it will make us live longer. And yes, weight loss makes you live longer.

Pill form Wegovy is now out for $150/month, or $25/month if your insurance covers it. Yeah, Mounjaro is still over $1000/month.

On the bright side, I just tried on my 53-year old freshman PE shirt, and it fit perfectly!

I'm on GLP-1 for diabetes. I dropped from 175 to 150 pounds (I'm 6 foot tall), despite forcing myself to eat. The drug does make you not care about eating, and for some people has nausea side effect. It also slows digestion. But honestly, I wasn't eating less, but still lost 5 pounds a week. So it not just the fact that it stops hunger that makes it work

It's because they can't afford the cost of a four year degree! Unlike most civilized countries, where university education is free. (I've had coworkers tell me my daughter should move to Europe so she can get a free education.)

What happened to all those RIM jobs?

Can't Thunderbolt output to display port? The future is USB-C.

Had one. Loved it. Came out in 2008. Touch screens are a step backwards for those of us that learned to type.

T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream came out in 2008.

I would LOVE to have a phone that doesn't start autodialing people while I'm mowing the lawn with it in my pocket. My first Google phone had a keyboard (T-Mobile G1)... I loved that phone.

I used an LLM on your mom last night...

What I find annoying is that ignorance of the law is considered a valid excuse for mistakes made by police officers... but not for the people they are charging with crimes.

Exactly. AI is fine to reduce workload, but one has to proof-read and validate everything it outputs, because it DOES hallucinate!

SNL is blatant satire, which is protected speech. I know, that actual legal standards have never stopped delusional don from suing before...

Ultimately it becomes an arm race between the good guys using AI to detect AI output and the bad guys training AI to produce undetectable output. Kind of like the current computer security arms race. I just thought mandating full disclosure might help a few people in the short term.
