You’re never too old for Ozempic
While in Cambridge to teach an MIT Aero/Astro class, I got together with some old friends who are, in some cases, also fairly old. One was born in 1940 and, therefore, is 85 years old. He’s on Mounjaro (Ozempic, basically, I think). “I’ve lost 40 pounds and went off two blood pressure meds. My A1c is back to normal and my sleep apnea went away.”
What else isn’t he too old for? Coding with AI. He likes to shoot air rifles and, despite minimal tech background, used vibe coding to generate 20,000 lines of code to process data from a wind/weather sensor. “I uploaded a photo of the circuit board and the AI said ‘I understand what this board is doing’ and told me where to solder.” (not sure why he had to modify the hardware, but I guess he did)
He’s reasonably rich and wants to move to Florida, at least on the 183 days/year plan, but his wife refuses to leave Maskachusetts.
