There seems to be no limit to the positive side effects of glp-1 type drugs. Are they the wonder drug of the AI age and a godsend to vibecoders?
The one downside of vibecoding for me in 12 months has been putting on 30lbs through being so engaged and sedentary whilst feeding my brain with carbs.
Am I alone in experiencing this??
A chemical way to alter my eating habits could be what we need to address the only downside of AI that I experience.
I have been following GLP1 drugs for a long time, and I have a close family member who benefits. I think it is safe to say that it is hands down the most important new class of drug in ages (think milestones like penicillin). The sad thing is that it is misunderstood:
1. "It is a cure" - no, it isn't. Once you're off them, you're likely to be even less equipped for maintaining energy balance than before. So you need to stay on them, either for life or until you are really able to rework your own habits and overcome that 10(?) year period where the body is frantically pumping chemicals into your bloodstream that signal to get back to the old body composition.
3. "It is for obese people" - no, it is for everyone who struggles with energy balance in their diet. The relative availability and affordability of food that stimulates overeating means that these drugs are for a huge part - probably the majority - of the population.
Exercise and sleep have even better benefits than glp1 drugs, but that is not an argument against them.
