Yeah, someone else commented with their financials and they look really good, so while I certainly agree that they are overvalued because we are in an AI training bubble, I don't see it popping for a few years, especially given that they are selling the shovels. every big player in the space is set on orders of magnitude of additional compute for the next 2 years or more. It doesn't matter if the company they sold gpus to fails if they already sold them. Something big that unexpected would have to happen to upset that trajectory right now and I don't see it because companies are in the exploratory stage of ai tech so no one knows what doesn't work until they get the computer they need. I could be wrong, but that's what I see as a watcher of ai news channels on YouTube.

The co founder of open AI just got a billion dollars for his new 3 month old AI start up. They are going to spend that money on talent and compute. X just announced a data center with 100,000 gpus for grok2 and plans to build the largest in the world I think? But that's Elon, so grains of salt and all that are required there. Nvidia are working with robotics companies to make AI that can train robots virtually to do a task and in the real world a robot will succeed first try. No more Boston dynamics abuse compilation videos. Right now agentic ai workflow is supposed to be the next step, so there will be overseer ai algorithms to develop and train.

All that is to say there is a ton of work that requires compute for the next few years.

{Opinion here} -- I feel like a lot of people are seeing grifters and a wobbly gpt4o launch and calling the game too soon. It takes time to deliver the next product when it's a new invention in its infancy and the training parameters are scaling nearly logarithmically from gen to gen.

I'm sure the structuring of payment for the compute devices isn't as simple as my purchase of a gaming GPU from microcenter, but Nvidia are still financially sound. I could see a lot of companies suffering from this long term but nvidia will be The player in AI compute, whatever that looks like, so they are going to bounce back and be fine.

I'm not sure, these companies are building data centers with so many gpus that they have to be geo located with respect to the power grid because if it were all done in one place it would take the grid down.

And they are just building more.

Haha on a serious note I had a flash light when I was a kid that had a coil around a magnetic weight that you could shake back and forth to induce current to charge it up. It never lasted long but u also never would be without light.

Uh it's called alternating current sweaty

Upper echelon on YouTube has been covering this.

Not sure about him outside of this story, but he seems to be doing a decent job if you are looking for something to watch with all details. He's got 4 or 5 videos in the series in the past month or 2

I think the play we are seeing is smart here. There is swelling momentum from center right Republicans urging their colleagues to distance themselves from trump and frankly an unprecedented amount of endorsements for Harris from the right side of the aisle.

This mentality of hot mics for the whole debate is trying to fan those flames within that movement.

This move in 2020 or 2016 would not be smart, but he's losing his chokehold as cult leader of the Republican party. It's still a risk in this race but I think much less so when they seem to be planning and preparing. This seems thought out to me.

Thank you for this post with information.

Yeah, the info I was speaking from was mostly from a concern for the seraronin syndrome, not from hard evidence because like you said, it's an emerging area of study.

I did just see a study a few days ago, coincidentally, where the abstract said they found a 3 to 6 months period of time from last dose of an SSRI before it stopped interfering with shrooms trips.

Found it again: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37291890/

Interested in your thoughts.

I haven't delved too deep into this topic because everything I have read ranges from you won't get anything from it to its actual dangerous for you.

That is really interesting, seems like a sliding scale. Adding to your raw sleep deprivation with antihistamine effects

Yeah I looked into mushrooms until I realized that people on SSRI meds won't get anything from it and also seraronin sickness is lethal in some cases.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

The amount of people in here thinking that this happens on a prescribed dose for some other people is concerning

Oh for fucks sake I'm so tired of this bullshit.

Governments nowadays are constantly acting like a tech platform has a responsibility eliminate privacy for users because if they have privacy, then they can't be tracked. It's infuriating.
