There are peptide raves ? “Gray-market peptides have flooded some corners of the tech scene recently, showing up in hacker houses, start-up offices and even “peptide raves” sponsored by suppliers”

So now AI researchers are peptide junkies ? “In the backyard of a San Francisco Victorian, tech workers in their 20s and 30s chatted … One artificial intelligence founder mentioned buying cheap drugs directly from Chinese manufacturers. A group … share their own sources for the medication they use for weight loss, productivity, and fitness”

“People are trying BPC-157 and TB-500 for healing injuries by stimulating new blood vessel growth, oxytocin for improving eye contact (one OpenAI researcher called it “Ozempic for autism”),”

I understand FDA takes time and the current FDA trying to cancel Tylenol I crazy. But injecting substances from china in the name for growth hack sounds crazy.
