2023.06.02 16:47 GimmeWine1989 ER visit?

I have a miriad of weirdness so here goes, I was told to go to ER by my doctor but at this moment I feel ok. I've had heart pains for a few days that come and go, keep me up at night. I blacked out when yelling at my kids, even at work I have to grab onto stuff so I literally don't fall asleep/ blackout even while standing and walking. I almost blackout on toilet if I'm..going number two.. my heart rate according to my Fitbit has gotten as high as 185 just sitting. All of my old ECGs my doctor said he can't believe theve been ignored but they say "low voltage QRS" unspecified st and t waves abnormalities, "consider" inferior ischemia, and nonspecific T wave abnormality. Should I go and force the ER to do more tests? I'm always just swept under the rug like they think I'm nuts. But I'm nearly blacking out doing household chores or using bathroom, I can hardly breathe half the time, I'm blacking out when Im raising my voice and falling asleep (at least that's how it feels) even standing. I'm at a loss for what to do. I don't wanna drop dead on my kids but the hospital and cardiologist I've seen haven't been any help in the past so why should that change ? This also seems to be have started in 2015 when I had pulmonary embolisms. I don't feel I should go just to get another ECG and saline drip and sit there for 15 hours.

2023.06.02 15:34 _SmoothCriminal The ballad of a fallen DPS during progging

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and disgusting websites that I explored,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my basement door,
"'Tis some scrub," I muttered, "tapping at my basement door,
Only this and nothing more."
​
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak of December;
And my dying gaming chair wrought its ghost upon the floor,
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow,
From my smartphones surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost score,
For the rare and radiant parse whom Yoshi-P wanted more,
Purple parse here, forevermore.
​
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each blackout curtain,
Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic terrors I never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some scrub entreating entrance at my basement door,
Some scrub entreating entrance at my basement door;
This it is and nothing more."
​
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Mother," said I, "or Father, truly your nuggies I implore;
But the fact is that I was progging, and you gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my basement door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you." Here I opened wide the door;
Darkness there and nothing more.
​
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken and the stillness gave no token,
And the only words spoken was the whispered phrase, “Purple parse score?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back, “Parse score!”
Merely this and nothing more.
​
Back into the basement turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
“Surely,” said I, “surely there is something at my windowsill;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore,
Let my chins be still for a moment and this mystery ignored;
’Tis a scrub and nothing more!”
​
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flitter and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my basement door,
Perched upon a bust of Sokken just above my basement door,
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
​
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy DPS be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Fanfest encore,
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Mogstation store!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
​
Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living, sweaty neckbeard,
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his basement door,
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his basement door,
With such a name as “Nevermore.”
​
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered,
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other PFs have flown before,
On the morrow he will leave me, as other PFs have flown before.”
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”
​
Startled at the stillness broken by a reply so aptly spoken,
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is only spam and nothing more,
Caught from some unhappy master, released to an unmerciful disaster,
Just like the bluebird whom the stars she explored,
Followed fast and followed faster 'till her songs did burden bore,
Of ‘Never—never, more’.”
​
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight, I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, bust and door;
Then, upon the waifu figurines and used stockings, I betook myself to thinking,
As if he embodied the despair from wipes in his very core,
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore,
Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”
​
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing,
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease, reclining
On the pillow's crusty lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er,
But whose crusty-smelly lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er,
He shall press, ah, nevermore!
​
Then, methought, the air growing denser, perfumed from an unseen censer,
Swung by cat girls whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
“Scrub,” I cried, “thy God, Yoshi-P, hath lent thee—by these cat girls he hath sent thee,
Respite—respite and despair from thy memories of the grey parse score;
Quaff, oh quaff these wipes and forget this grey parse score!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
​
“Role-player!” said I, “thing of evil—prophet still, if bird or devil!,
Whether WoW sent thee, or whether venue tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted,
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore,
Is there—is there balm in the Quicksands? Tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
​
“Role-player!” said I, “thing of evil—prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us—by Yoshi-P we both adore,
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, as a poor and edgy Eorzean,
It shall clasp a sainted DPS number whom the devs name the purple parse score,
Clasp a rare and radiant DPS number whom the devs name purple parse score.”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
​
“Be those words our sign of parting, troll!” I shrieked, upstarting,
“Get thee back to twitter and tiktok, I implore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! Quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
​
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting,
On the pallid bust of Sokken just above my basement door;
And his eyes like the all-seeing Zuckerberg that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave.
https://preview.redd.it/kg4bcsw4wl3b1.jpg?width=741&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=728d042d11fd1e03cff86a22052e7f72345dbb08
There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:
A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments:
(1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers).
(2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone.
(3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it.
(4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more.
(5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s.
The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting:
(1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place.
(2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market.
(3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle.
As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then?
B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s.
(1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in:
i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo.
ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic.
iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security.
iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in.
v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine.
vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video.
vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area.
It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:
  1. Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
  2. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
  3. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
  4. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave.
https://preview.redd.it/32yljrc6wl3b1.jpg?width=741&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af6eca4f1a380c15e08b20f6e4603b4836535991
There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:
A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments:
(1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers).
(2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone.
(3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it.
(4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more.
(5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s.
The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting:
(1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place.
(2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market.
(3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle.
As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then?
B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s.
(1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in:
i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo.
ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic.
iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security.
iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in.
v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine.
vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video.
vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area.
It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:
  1. Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
  2. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
  3. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
  4. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

Hey all, this is Part 2 of my Mid-Season Prospect Rankings. Part 1 is here.
Obviously within one day my list had to be messed up with Vanasco being traded after his DFA. For the sake of ease, I’m putting Luis Valdez at #50, and pushing everyone else down one spot up to where I had Vanasco.
Again all stats are as of May 31 unless noted.
Rankings 40-2639-26
That’s it for Part 2! I’ll get Part 3 (Rankings 25-11) up tomorrow. Hopefully no one else gets traded by then.
Thanks for reading!

2023.06.02 15:15 ZeroOneJump APHO Theory & Opinion: Is humanity becoming complacent in the post-Honkai era?

As we all know, APHO takes place 8 years after the Great Eruption and Kiana becomes a true Herrscher after being chosen by the Cocoon of Finality, so any Honkai-related incidents are scaled back significantly. That means no more Honkai disasters, no more zombie outbreaks, and most importantly, no more Herrschers appearing. Yes, Honkai is still causing problems, and Schicksal is still in charge of dealing with them. However, it is much less severe than in previous years. For the record, Kiana has promised that before the earth can withstand the power of Finality, she will remain on the moon and do everything she can to reduce the Honkai's impact on earth, which will take 5 to 10 years and may require the cooperation of people all over the world. This requires steps and stops, but it is something that humanity in the HI3 universe can do to turn the power of Finality into useful energy for humanity, and once Honkai is 100% no longer possessing the threat, she will return to Earth for good.
But there's a catch. According to Bronya in her seventh dialogue event in APHO 2, the majority of Honkai wiped out, some veterans are in a "detached state of mind". In the past, all major anti-Honkai contributors worked together against the Honkai, but when peacetime arrived, some of them lost motivation. Bronya acknowledges that the world is constantly changing, but their fighting spirit never fades. For this reason, different methods to be adopted to make the most of their lives.
To be honest, it's really heartwarming to see that even though everyone has been through so much, they still remember their adventures and life lessons, and they continue to fight for all that is beautiful in the world. However, when Bronya says "some of us are in a detached state of mind" and "losing drive and motivation," that heartwarming aspect turns into a concern and worry. We all know that peace was hard won, and the Great Eruption veterans will never forget that. But little did they know that they will facing the unexpected uncertainty.
There is one word to describe this situation, and it's called "complacency".
So when Welt, in one of collectible files in APHO 2, saying this:
"As for the visitors beyond the sky, even if I only had brief contact with them, I can feel that they are enemies of human civilization. As for him, I must try my best to stop that horrific plan to use humanity as a bargaining chip.
[...]
Once again, enemies with evil intentions have returned to this newly recovered planet, and I will once again pick up where I left off. For my allies, my family, and my…"
This is more or less proof that humanity became too comfortable with peace in the post-Honkai era, some of them refusing to believe that a bigger, much worse threat than the Honkai could happen without warning. Then again, your mileage may vary.
While Honkai has become less of a threat in the last eight years,it still poses numerous challenges. It still causes natural disasters that heavily impact on the environment, and occasionally spawns Honkai Beasts. At the same time, criminal activities, whether Honkai-related or not, appear to be a major issue following the Great Eruption, with certain individuals and organizations attempting to profit from the chaos caused from that event. This is why Schicksal formed the Anti-Honkai Special Forces, which are essentially glorified janitors and sheriffs who clean up things in the world. This sounds great, and it's one of many ways to lighten Kiana's burden, and everyone has proven their mettle and worth as the protector of humanity from Honkai. The problem is that they are too focused on one or two things, to the point of being "too obsessed and attached to the earth" and ignoring the possibility that something will happen again and humanity will need to be bailed out again if they are unprepared, particularly when dealing with threats that even worse than the Honkai. Something that the people at Schicksal, even the likes of Bianka and Rita, should be know better about this matter.
Sure enough, their worth is about to be put to the test. After 20 years of not being seen since Welt halted their invasion attempt, Sky People has returned to Earth with the "help" of Void Archives, with St. Fountain serving as the invasion's starting point. At first, dozens of foot soldiers are stationed in the city's town square, alongside a small number of elites and lords (Death, Judgement, and The World). Then they adopt new tactics by introducing advanced variations of their own foot soldiers with, as well as a small number of brand new elites and lords; this time the latter are Empress, Hanged Man, and Tower. By the end of APHO Chapter 2, the Stargate has opened and the Sky People are about to launch a large-scale invasion, potentially disabling any automated defenses, cutting off any long-distance communications (especially the Earth-Moon communication tower), and thus sealing off the Earth from the rest of the Solar System.
Unless and until Kiana makes her own way to help her friends, until Welt manages to break the "alliance" between the Sky People and Void Archive, and until the Great Eruption veterans learn the exact true nature of the Sky People… humanity in the HI3 universe will be doomed to repeat the tragedy that befell them.
So, what do you think about this one? Do you think APHO happens because the heroes are too "comfortable" and unprepared for the potential interstellar warfare?

2023.06.02 15:04 SussexPGresearcher Differences in types of imagery: Pilot study survey

Hello everyone,
I’m a researcher at the Sackler Center for consciousness science at Sussex University. We are running a very short survey focused on differences in imagery ability amongst individuals with Aphantaisa and Hypophasia. It will be used as a pilot in order to inform further studies that hope to come up with more specific and valid methods for assessing imagery ability. If you have time, we would love to get your responses.
It will include a PSi-Q, which is an imagery ability questionnaire that provides more information regarding other sensory-related imagination abilities than most commonly used methods, such as the VVIQ.
And then, there will be several questions asking you to compare different aspects of imagery against each other. There are some prewritten selections and also a text box for each question, please choose whichever is closest to your experience and then provide as much information as you can in the text boxes as to your subjective experience of these tasks as this will really help us.
The whole thing should only take 15-20 minutes and will hopefully help inform the production of more accurate ways to measure mental imagery abilities.
Link to survey: https://universityofsussex.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_cOv63yzWuHa5RR4
Ethical approval ref number: EFW238/1
Thank you in advance!
P.S If any of you are located around Brighton, UK and would be interested in participating in an in-person study looking at how different imagery abilities change the experience of closed-eye visual hallucinations induced by a stroboscopic light, drop me a DM, and I can pass on further details.

This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. — Exod 12:11
Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place (Mic 2:10).—For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come (Heb 13:14).—There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God (Heb 4:9).
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them (Luke 12:35-37).—Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming (1 Pet 1:13).—Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. (Phil 3:13-15).

Evening

Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup. — Ps 16:5
Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ (Rom 8:17).—All things are yours (Cor 3:21).—My beloved is mine (Song 2:16).—The Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Gal 2:20).
The Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites. (Num 18:20).
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Ps 73:25-26).
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Ps 23:4).—That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day (2 Tim 1:12).
You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land (Ps 63:1).

2023.06.02 14:37 larae_is_bored 15 hashbrowns... is it true?

Whenever I order breakfast from here, I'll count the number of hashbrowns in the box to see if there are indeed 15 in there. Some of the times there are, but most of the times it's less. This habit stems from years ago ordering at the chickfila on Peachtree St near the corner of Collier Rd, when the person taking my order read it back to me he said "and 15 hashbrowns"? At the time I corrected him and said, no no just one order of hashbrowns. He then informed me that each order should have 15 of them inside.
Although I did in fact get 15 from that particular order, I thought the idea to be a bit farfetched in practice for employees to always have to count out 15 per box, and thus ever since then began to count my hashbrowns. I've never went back and complained about not getting 15 or anything, but I've always wondered was this really supposed to be the practice or was it just one anal local manager?

My last post increased my stack and crossed a want off my list, so here's round 2.
Wanted:
Looking to pay about $4 over spot by way of Zelle and will need to be shipped to Florida, USA.
DM & Chat will both get my attention... however due to the number of scammers who reached out last time, I will only respond to those who post here first! Thanks for understanding.
