it's unclear if most ppl realize that ozempic’s real effects on culture haven’t even started.

cuz what you’re seeing now is the first order effects & some glimpses of second order where ppl get thinner & some products experiencing a resurgence.

but the second & third order effects are where things might get gnarly due to the fact that these drugs seem to dampen desire itself across a surprisingly wide range of behaviors (it's not universal or obvious yet). food is simply the first & most obvious target.

liek what happens when millions of people suddenly spend less time thinking about consumption? what happens to industries built around cravings, indulgence, impulse purchases, addiction loops, or even certain forms of entertainment?

entire sections of the economy assume humans will remain governed by the same reward circuitry we’ve had for thousands of years. if these drugs meaningfully alter those circuits, we’re talking about a tool that edits human motivation.

we are gonna see thinness but in a lot of diff ways it seems like.

@karrisaarinen this is the way. a fascinating thing about creative work is that there is a much lower correlation between work hours <-> quality of output. It forces you to reckon with their decoupled nature early, whereas technical work you can really get lost in this grindcore illusion.

@Clara_Gold This lands 100% true to me

@justalexoki @DanielleFong The announcement quite literally says the integration is scoped to “grounding” Claude responses with their docs. I’ll bet ableton pulled the plug on computer use at the last minute

@dan_uptop wow

trying to go back to using claude code after pi is such a step down in vibes

Please mix the audio in your release videos. Im begging you.

I tried to like jupyter notebooks, I really did.

@WillManidis read any old media and you'll see this has always been the case

@davidsenra @pmarca I absolutely love how David just kinda starts yes manning here. “Heh yeah bro I never introspect either”. This take is so wack.

@sriramk @badlogicgames welcome, sriram, to the shitty coders club

[Connor Martin @ConnorYMartin]

@badlogicgames websocket integration with a webapp was the first thing i built - would be keen to see progress on this!

[Connor Martin @ConnorYMartin]

@danrobinson There was a test published that gave evidence that being hostile towards llms results in worse performance. Older models though.

@bcherny i find the process of creating a plugin pretty clunky. you force the user to install a marketplace, then install a plugin from the marketplace, then enable auto update. seemingly with no ability to notitfy the user they need to update the plugin

[Connor Martin @ConnorYMartin]

@badlogicgames I started using pi and have completely switched from Claude code. It’s hard to say exactly what it is but it’s just more fun to use. Went through some of your blogs on it and it all just made sense.

cannot get over how cool the bad bunny halftime show was

curious if any gen models which do not focus on code output have implemented something like this as intermediar outputs

[Armin Ronacher ⇌ @mitsuhiko]

This weekend I was thinking about programming languages. Programming languages for agents. Will we see them? I believe people will (and should!) try to build some. https://t.co/4szFXPLTfK

[Connor Martin @ConnorYMartin]

@mitsuhiko this seems very correct to me. i think there will be progress made in languages for agents specifically built around generative models that currently focus on non-code output (video, audio, etc). Maybe there is a opportunity for code as an intermediary output.
