How are AI and GLP medications in the same category as Kalshi or sports betting? One is (economically at any rate) a tool to produce code and the other is a weight loss drug that actually works. Neither are a “casino” in any meaningful sense.

Nit: One is an appetite suppressant, not a weight-loss drug. It doesn't burn fat, your body does that part. You just eat less.

Incorrect, newer GLP's upregulate metabolism and increase insulin sensitivity by acting as agonists on GIP and Glucagon receptors.

Please don't comment on pharmacodynamics without a solid understanding of the underlying mechanisms.

Which in turn regulates (suppresses) appetite.

Please don’t be a dick.
