Reviews are a mess

Original post in this thread

I see the review score but can't figure out how to read them or write one.

I am a returning customer!

So annoying!

Whatever IT team decided this was a good idea...

What they were answering

Yeah it wasn’t a knock at you, just wanted to make sure you were aware because there was definitely something going on.

All fanbases attract extremes but like the other commenter mentioned - I think those that buy into outliers like ND and the philosophy and trust it are all gonna be a little neurotic or odd in some way. I’ve literally seen advisorhead reviews on certain products because it’s so easy to spot lol… That Cordyceps review is chatGPT all day 😂 AI is definitely going to introduce a whole new world of automated botting shit. We’ll all learn I suppose.

Do you utilize any of the specific platforms for certain things? I use grok a lot for daily questions and coding and digging into obsucre stuff, but ChatGPTs memory feature (which I pass along info from grok) has actually been clutch as pattern detecting journal of sorts. It’s slowly learned a lot of the supplements I take, diet, exercise type and is pretty solid at connecting dots I’ve been missing all along. Always thought I had a problem with processing choline/ach and some issues with methylation but come to find out I was pretty deficient in calcium. Was actually using too much of your infinilyte and mag glycerphosphate, and my diet is thin in excess calcium/from dairy (which is relatively balanced in calcium/phosphate anyways).

I agree. Our customer base is pretty unique. That's always a balance we are trying to strike. Keep providing things our core group of customers wants, but also trying to not be too confusing or unapproachable for new customers. And yeah... It's going to get really weird soon with all the AI shit. It already is, but I can imagine in 2-5 years it's going to be insane. Students are already all using AI to do their research and write papers. I can only imagine how teaching is going to have to shift. It's also going to be tough for the older teachers. They are not going to pivot quickly enough. I think most people are sleeping on how disruptive AI is going to be. Most people I see are either afraid of it, writing it off as a novelty, or just completely unaware of where things are now. It's going to really bite people in the ass if they don't pivot with it. It's happening whether people want it to or not.

I mostly use Perplexity Deep Research. Our Perplexity corporate account allows us access to multiple models. Grok is on there, but I am mostly using it for more technical things, so I keep it on the Deep Research model most of the time. That has only been out for like 2 months now, but it was a MASSIVE improvement. We have used ChatGPT Deep Research as well, and it is pretty nuts. However, I find it to go too verbose. Most of the time I find Perplexity Deep Research hits the right balance. It's like anything else, a tool. It can be used properly or improperly. As you said, quick pattern analysis is a strong suit. You can feed it 10 research papers on one single topic, and have it analyze them as a whole together. That's one of the really nice things about Perplexity Enterprise. We can force the models to only look at scientific research papers, or even just specific Google Drive folders with the exact docs we want it to focus on. You can start by having it do an analysis of just scientific papers, then do a follow up where you open it up to a full web search. Then you can change the model and do a follow up to the same thread with an entirely different AI model. That's really helpful. It's come a long way in just the past 6 months. I can't wait to see what it can do in a year or two.

So we had to deal with some pretty big lawsuits last year. I wish I could say that is new, but I deal with half a dozen lawsuits every year. I just settled one two days ago, in fact. I have two more I am dealing with rig

Long-term review of Erinamax?

Any other new mushroom extracts coming?

Yes, we have a lot in the works. This includes improved/different versions of the mushrooms we already carry, like cordyceps, and some new species of mushrooms that nobody is really talking about. 2023 will be a very goo

Study: 10 Grams of Lion's Mane Useless

LOL, they fucking baked the lion's mane into muffins... I assume that was at like 350 degrees for 30-60min? They did no testing of the finished muffins to see if they degraded the actives? We've been doing a lot of scien

Cordyceps 10:1 vs 1:1

Replying to Chaloobies · u/MisterYouAreSoDumb u/Pretty-Chill u/NootropicsDepotGuru

1:1 is a whole cordyceps fruiting body powder that has been put through a hot water "extraction" to break down the chitin, but not lose any mushroom material. The 10:1 is a traditional solvent extraction, where 10 grams

My cordyceps congealed! Any way to rescue it? I haven’t gotten any water in it, I changed out the desiccant packets, but now it’s become a gooey lump. My Red Reishi purchased in the same order is still a powder, stored in the same conditions. What’s going on?

Holy crap! Water got in there somehow. Where was it stored?
