GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) is red-hot this morning, after the camera maker received an upgrade to "buy" from "neutral" at Citigroup. At last check, the shares are up 3.4% at $63.78, muscling back into positive year-to-date territory. More impressive yet, since touching an early March low of $37.13, the stock has zoomed almost 72% higher.

Amid this sustained uptrend, option traders have grown bullish. GPRO's 10-day International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) call/put volume ratio is 3.12, with long calls more than tripling puts. What's more, this ratio registers above all but 5% of readings taken in the last year.

It's more of the same among the brokerage crowd. Nine of 13 analysts rate GPRO a "buy" or better, with not a single "sell" to be found. Likewise, the stock's consensus 12-month price target of $76.54 stands at a 20% premium to current trading levels.

At the same time, however, 17.3% of GoPro Inc's (NASDAQ:GPRO) float is sold short. In other words, there's still sideline cash available to power the shares higher. In fact, some of the aforementioned call buyers -- especially those focused on out-of-the-money strikes -- may be short sellers hedging against a sharp move to the north.

While everyone’s still counting their money from this first AI boom … Nvidia and countless others have moved on to the next stage.

That includes Big Tech, which is currently making a series of peculiar investments in a few strange companies. This has nothing to do with tech. At least on the surface …

Yet, these strange investments could be the early ripples of a massive wave …Without them, ChatGPT could stop operating … Amazon, Google, Microsoft and more could see profits drop drastically.

In fact, Elon Musk says these investments are critical when it comes to solving the number one problem facing AI.

Now, Silicon Valley legend Michael Robinson has identified two companies that could play a significant role in the solution.

Their stocks just may be the key to AI 2.0.
