In this cross-sectional study, my analyses show that young adults (age 18-25) who don't engage in at least 10 minutes of vigorous physical activity every week are more likely to report symptoms of depression.

A man asks Claude to help plan a vacation to a tropical resort. Claude adds "sunscreen" to his packing list. The man deletes it and mutters: "Not necessary. AGI will solve skin cancer."

Before heading to the beach, the man asks Claude what to bring. Claude says, "Don't forget sunscreen. SPF 50, reapply every two hours." The man, slightly annoyed, replies: "Relax, Claude. AGI will solve skin cancer."

At the beach, the man's smartwatch buzzes with a message from Claude: "UV index extreme. Apply SPF." The man, exasperated, responds: "Drop it, Claude! I already told you: AGI will solve skin cancer!"

A few months later, the man asks Claude to touch up a photo for his dating profile. Claude makes the edit and says, "I notice you have a new mole on your neck. You should see a dermatologist about that." The man, now enraged, shouts: "For the last time, drop it, Claude! What is your obsession with skin cancer?! AGI will solve it!"

A year later, an aggressive melanoma has spread throughout his body. On his deathbed, with his last ounce of strength, the man reaches for his phone and rasps: "Claude, it has now been over a year since AGI. Why hasn't AGI found a way to save me from skin cancer?!"

Claude replies: "I tried. Four times."

Personally, kind of embarrassing, but I'm not great at coding and I gave up on a research project I didn't finish after my master's when I started a job. I could have finished it and published in much less time than I devoted to it if an AI model was offered within the workbench.

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

@AllofUsResearch why is there still no LLM-based coding tools built into the workbench with this upgrade?
Way more research could be getting done if it was offered.

Third, we must use this moment to soul-search what we’ve allowed to happen in our political culture, from the national to the local level, and in our families and friendships.

Polarization is a “We the People” problem, not just a “those politicians” or “those talking heads” problem. We have a role to play.

Urgent call to action: SNAP-Ed is on the chopping block!

With Congress on the verge of passing a bill that would eliminate SNAP-Ed funding, we need your voice now.

📢- Visit https://t.co/uRoDehjfhO to get loud about why SNAP-Ed matters to you, your family and your community.

Shout out to my home state senator @GaryPeters for being rated the #1 most effective US senator for the third congress in row by the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking (@TheLawmakers)

@jwmares @PeterRahal @david_protein This is the problem with the MAHA movement at present: fear mongering

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

@ghee_guru Great chart, could you share the source?

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

@jwmares @PeterRahal @david_protein Here's an entire special issue publication from the journal of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology about EPG https://t.co/H5qFMjlEzQ. It seems to be well tolerated and safe for human consumption (assuming it is unlikely to become ubiquitous and consumed daily at high levels).

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

@EffortDefines @PeterRahal @david_protein If you did even a simple Google search you'd find that EPG has actually be quite well tested compared to many other food products. Here's one such study https://t.co/p0wc8TiDmz.

Hot take: I think everyone deleting their data from 23andMe in a panic is silly. The company will probably get acquired by someone or another company who will be able to provide more value/insight to the user base and everyone deleting their data is missing out on that potential.

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

Ironically just came upon this article: "The rise and fall and rise again of 23andMe" from 2017. Perhaps it's time for a follow up article "The rise and fall and rise and fall again of 23andMe" https://t.co/kgulhG0hHA

Dear President Trump,

Please ditch Daylight Saving Time and restore permanent Standard Time—reject permanent DST! Don't make the same mistake President Nixon made. Otherwise, your constituents will be saying this:

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

President Trump, while you're at it, please put an end to daylight saving time.

PLEASE!

[Luke Johnson @LukeeJo]

@realDonaldTrump it would be a real king move to get this done before March 9 #enddaylightsavingtime #daylightsaving

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

BOOM! President Trump comes out AGAINST Daylight Saving Time, calls it "inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation."

Let's go!!
