Anti-Aging Treatment Breakthrough: Japanese Scientists’ Regenerative Gene Transfer Success

https://scitechdaily.com/anti-aging-treatment-breakthrough-japanese-scientists-regenerative-gene-transfer-success/

Artificial Investment?

It’s no secret: Investors and companies are pouring billions into AI. 

 

Venture capitalists have plowed $12 billion into generative AI startups so far this year. Elon Musk claims his company xAI will train new models on a staggering 100,000 of Nvidia’s latest H100 GPUs; Meta is reportedly buying some 350,000 more. (In perspective, the world’s fastest supercomputer, Frontier, boasts a mere 38,000 GPUs.) Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon are also building out enormous AI server farms. And this spending shows no signs of slowing.

 

Goldman Sachs says outlays on AI infrastructure could total $1 trillion over the next few years—a number on par with annual US military spending or the GDP of the Netherlands. But there are strings attached: Big investment is tied to expectations of big revenue and profits. Eighteen months into the boom, investors are beginning to review the latter.

 

Some companies are clearly knocking it out of the park. Nvidia, which commands 80 percent of the AI chip market, is enjoying a historic run. The chipmaker has consistently posted revenue and profits beyond the market’s expectations, and in late June, it was (briefly) the most valuable company in the world, beating out Microsoft and Apple. (The stock has fallen off since then, but it’s still up some 140 percent year-to-date.)

 

But not everyone is raking it in like Nvidia. If Nvidia is selling “picks and shovels” for an AI gold rush, those using Nvidia’s equipment are still digging for gold. Exactly when they’ll strike it rich and how much they’ll unearth is a matter of speculation.

 

Though OpenAI is reportedly on pace to make $3.4 billion annually, an impressive number compared to last year, its costs are even greater. The Information recently reported the company is set to lose $5 billion this year and may need to seek new investment within the next 12 months. The publication also wrote that Anthropic will burn $2.7 billion in 2024.

 

The biggest players, like Alphabet and Microsoft, have deeper pockets. But driven by AI, their capital expenditures are growing fast. Alphabet’s capex spending is on pace to hit $49 billion this year, an increase of 84 percent compared to its average over the last half decade. Investors are increasingly scrutinizing the impact of these investments too. The companies’ cloud offerings—the huge server farms they rent to those building and running AI models and products—are the most obvious revenue-makers. But the sustainability of those revenues is dependent on the success of AI products.

 

And revenue from those products is lagging investment. This gap, which is widening, is what Sequoia Capital’s David Cahn calls the “$600 billion question.” That’s the difference between infrastructure investment and revenue in the industry. Barclays analysts put it like this: The industry is building enough infrastructure to support 12,000 ChatGPTs. While the technology is impressive, customer demand is unlikely to support that kind of supply anytime soon.

 

But the spending is also a bet on future performance improvements. This line of thinking suggests that if today’s capabilities aren’t enough to hook the world on AI, tomorrow’s will be. And to get to the next level—which will only be realized by bigger models trained on more (and better) data—companies need more computing power.

 

Anthropic CEO and cofounder, Dario Amodei, has said models being trained today already cost upwards of $1 billion. By next year, that number could be $10 billion, and in the years following, it could reach $100 billion—in line with the amount Microsoft is said to be spending on its 2028 AI supercomputer, Stargate. It's an eye-watering price tag. But Amodei thinks that if algorithms and chips continue to improve as they have in recent years, then there’s a chance those future AI models could be “better than most humans at most things.”

 

FOMO is another big driver. The CEOs of Alphabet and Microsoft have made that much clear. In a recent earnings call, Sundar Pichai said, “the risk of underinvesting is dramatically greater than the risk of overinvesting for us here.” And in a New York Times profile, Satya Nadella is described as being motivated by the desire to avoid missing the boat, as the company did with the internet in the early 2000s and smartphones several years later.

 

It seems clear the technology will have an impact—whether it’s through productivity boosting AI assistants or scientific discovery—and the impact’s size will scale with the capabilities of the models driving it. But exactly how big a splash it will make, how soon, and how this will compare to current investment isn’t clear, even to those at the helm.

 

“Of course, it’s possible…that all of this will be a bust. The models don’t turn out to be that powerful,” Amodei said recently. “That’s not my bet. That’s not what I think is gonna happen. What I think is gonna happen is that these models will produce a great deal of revenue. …That’s the bullish scenario that I’m betting on by leading this company.”

 

“But I’m not sure. It could go the other way. I don’t think anyone knows.”

Faster Than a Speeding Photon: How Tachyons Challenge Modern Physics

Oh, this is interesting:

https://scitechdaily.com/faster-than-a-speeding-photon-how-tachyons-challenge-modern-physics/

I asked Claude about the technological potential of harnessing tachyons, assuming they're actually real, and it said this:

While tachyons remain hypothetical and their existence would challenge our current understanding of physics, if they were to exist and we could harness them, they could potentially enable some fascinating technological applications. However, it's important to note that this is highly speculative and would require significant changes to our understanding of physics. Here are some potential applications:

1. Faster-Than-Light (FTL) Communication:

   • Instantaneous communication across vast distances in space.
   • Could revolutionize space exploration and inter-planetary communication.

2. Time Messaging:

   • Theoretical ability to send messages into the past, though this raises causality paradoxes.

3. Advanced Computing:

   • Quantum computers using tachyons could potentially perform calculations at speeds far beyond current limitations.

4. Energy Production:

   • Tachyons, having imaginary mass, might be a source of exotic energy with unique properties.

5. Propulsion Systems:

   • FTL space travel, dramatically reducing travel time across the solar system or even to other stars.

6. Precognitive Sensors:

   • Devices that could theoretically detect events before they occur, based on tachyons' supposed ability to move backwards in time.

7. Exotic Matter Creation:

   • Tachyons could be used to create or manipulate forms of matter with properties we currently consider impossible.

8. Advanced Imaging Technologies:

   • Potential to view objects or events distant in space or time.

9. Causal Isolation Devices:

   • Theoretical shields against causality violations, protecting regions of spacetime.

10. Temporal Phase Shifting:

    • Devices that could move objects slightly out of phase with normal time flow.

11. Superluminal Data Storage:

    • Information storage systems with instant access regardless of physical distance.

12. Tachyonic Materials Engineering:

    • Creation of materials with exotic properties for construction or manufacturing.

It's crucial to emphasize that these ideas are purely speculative and based on properties attributed to hypothetical tachyons. The existence of tachyons would fundamentally challenge our understanding of causality and the nature of time itself. Many of these concepts, especially those involving time travel or precognition, would introduce severe logical paradoxes.

Current mainstream physics does not support the existence of tachyons, and there is no experimental evidence for them. In most modern physical theories, the appearance of tachyons usually indicates an instability in the theory rather than the prediction of a real particle.

Then I asked it to read the above link, and asked if this would change its assessment. Claude replied:

Thank you for providing that article. Yes, this new research does change my assessment of tachyons in some significant ways. Here are the key updates based on this recent study:

1. Resolving previous inconsistencies: The researchers have addressed several longstanding issues with tachyon theory by incorporating both past and future states into the boundary conditions. This approach resolves problems like the instability of the ground state, observer-dependent particle numbers, and negative energy values.

2. Mathematical consistency: The new framework makes tachyon theory mathematically consistent within quantum mechanics, which was not the case before.

3. New type of quantum entanglement: The expanded boundary conditions suggest a novel form of quantum entanglement that mixes past and future states, which isn't present in conventional particle theory.

4. Role in matter formation: The researchers propose that tachyons may play a crucial role in the spontaneous symmetry breaking process responsible for matter formation. They suggest that Higgs field excitations might have traveled at superluminal speeds in the vacuum before symmetry was broken.

5. Shift in scientific perspective: This work indicates that tachyons are not necessarily ruled out by special relativity, as was previously thought. Instead, they might help us better understand the causal structure of the theory.

6. Future-influencing-past concept: The research reinforces the idea that future states can influence the present in quantum physics, which was previously considered an unorthodox interpretation.

While this research represents a significant theoretical advancement, it's important to note that tachyons remain hypothetical particles. There is still no experimental evidence for their existence. However, this work opens up new avenues for research and potentially changes how we might look for evidence of tachyons or related phenomena in the future.

This study demonstrates that our understanding of fundamental physics is still evolving, and concepts once thought impossible or inconsistent might find new life through innovative theoretical approaches.
