Lifeboat Foundation

The recent unprecedented success of foundation models like GPT-4 has heightened the general public’s awareness of artificial intelligence (AI) and inspired vivid discussion about its associated possibilities and threats. In March 2023, a group of technology leaders published an open letter that called for a public pause in AI development to allow time for the creation and implementation of shared safety protocols. Policymakers around the world have also responded to rapid advancements in AI technology with various regulatory efforts, including the European Union (EU) AI Act and the Hiroshima AI Process.

One of the current problems—and consequential dangers—of AI technology is its unreliability and subsequent lack of trustworthiness. In recent years, AI-based technologies have often encountered severe issues in terms of safety, security, privacy, and responsibility with respect to fairness and interpretability. Privacy violations, unfair decisions, unexplainable results, and accidents involving self-driving cars are all examples of concerning outcomes.

As noted by Musk in his update, Tesla is just finalizing the construction of Giga Texas’ supercomputer cluster. He also noted that the electric vehicle maker would be attempting to get the supercomputer cluster online in the coming months. The cluster is expected to further accelerate the progress of Tesla’s FSD efforts, which is crucial for the rollout of the company’s dedicated Robotaxi, which will be unveiled on August 8, 2024.

While Musk was all work in his Giga Texas update during Independence Day, he also took some time to poke fun at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerburg, who posted a video of himself wakeboarding in a suit and sunglasses, sipping some beer, and holding up an American flag to celebrate the Fourth of July. Zuckerburg’s video went viral, with social media users noting that it made the Meta CEO very likable and cool.

The Tesla Cybertruck is on track to becoming the #1 electric pickup truck in the United States. Tesla recently celebrated the Tesla Cybertruck becoming the best-selling electric pickup truck in the US.

Tesla reported delivering approximately 443,956 vehicles in total for Q2 2024. The majority of the deliveries were Tesla Model Y and Model 3 units. Tesla reported delivering 21,551 units of its other models, including the Cybertruck, Semi, Model X, and Model S.

Tesla did not provide a precise number for its Cybertruck deliveries. However, a few official X accounts suggested that the Tesla Cybertruck is the best-selling electric truck as of the second quarter. Tesla’s lead engineer for the Cybertruck, Wes, celebrated the electric pickup truck’s achievement on X. Tesla’s official Cybertruck X account also confirmed the news.

This is a recording of the AGI23 Conference, Day 1, June 16th 2023, Stockholm. This video shows the following tutorial: Test and Evaluation First Principles for General Learning Systems, led by Tyler Cody.

SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone, and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country.

The machine works by manipulating particles in a water bath to generate usable power.

A team of AI researchers at Meta’s Fundamental AI Research team are making four new AI models publicly available to researchers and developers creating new applications. The team has posted a paper on the arXiv preprint server outlining one of the new models, JASCO, and how it might be used.

As interest in AI applications grows, major players in the field are creating AI models that can be used by other entities to add AI capabilities to their own applications. In this new effort, the team at Meta has made available four new models: JASCO, AudioSeal and two versions of Chameleon.

JASCO has been designed to accept different types of audio input and create an improved sound. The model, the team says, allows users to adjust characteristics such as the sound of drums, guitar chords or even melodies to craft a tune. The model can also accept text input and will use it to flavor a tune.

The bold experiment may finally uncover the elusive stuff that makes up 95 percent of the universe.
