Hey buddy,

Man, you wouldn't believe what was popping off on Hacker News yesterday, Thursday. Had to give you a quick rundown.

People in the comments were going back and forth, some saying their doctors treat antidepressants as more of a short-term thing anyway, and others sharing personal stories about how meds affect them.

Space & Weather: Europe's New Satellite

Then, super cool news from space: Europe's new weather satellite sent back its first images. This thing is next-gen, apparently doing crazy detailed IR measurements.

Shifting to AI, there were a couple of big ones. People are tracking how AI models like Claude Code "degrade" over time. Developers are super frustrated because models often *feel* like they're getting worse, even if the stats don't always show it. Plus, those content filters are a pain, blocking weird stuff.

Comments were all about how people just can't resist throwing everything into these AI tools, even when they shouldn't.

Wild AI Futures: Infinite Worlds

But on the exciting AI front, Google DeepMind launched "Project Genie", experimenting with infinite, interactive AI worlds. Think "Ready Player One
