I understand this instinct, but I can see the appeal of capabilities that are well within the limits of a well-designed agentic system.

Imagine asking such a system, "look at my postprandial response to dosing for the past week and make ratio suggestions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." This is genuinely helpful, saves time, and well within the reasoning limits. You could spot check if you like.

Is it worth setting up such an assistant for the value you'd get out of it? I guess that's on the user and how many similar use cases exist.

Yes, but it's held up really well in my opinion! I use this piece constantly as a reference and I don't feel it's aged. It reframed Anthropic as "the practical partner" in the development of AI tools.

Gene editing is still pretty crude in terms of delivery.

Just because you can hit some germ-line cells in the liver, for example, doesn’t imply you’ll have good penetration into the reproductive organs.

We can’t zap people and change all their DNA at once, unless we can intervene at the point it’s just a few cells.

Longevity benefits are seen at a much lower dose.

It won’t fly under the radar when this technology actually works. The FDA actually has warned, IIRC, that there’s a bunch of charlatans selling stuff that doesn’t work.

OP lacks imagination for sure. This would reduce infections, prevent compression lows, be more discrete and potentially increase accuracy.

In no way would I describe CGM as solved, and this would go a long way towards filling many of the gaps, especially in younger / older / less compliant patient populations.
