‘It took 500 artists five years to make a world-class animated movie,’ Katzenberg said at a Bloomberg conference. ‘I don’t think it will take 10 percent of that[with AI].’
A San Francisco smoothie startup promised to create customers “one-of-a-kind” recipes, but two months after opening, the store was shuttered.
The shop, BetterBlends, used artificial intelligence to generate custom smoothies based on customer preferences. The company only offered one menu item called “Your Smoothie, powered by AI” and claimed to be “the most personalized restaurant, ever,” according to its site.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
I still love software as much today as I did when Paul Allen and I started Microsoft.
In 5 years, agents will be able to give health care advice, tutor students, do your shopping, help workers be far more productive, and much more.
The new chips were designed to be less powerful than the models sold in the US, according to sources.
NVIDIA really, really doesn’t want to lose access to China’s massive AI chip market.
NVIDIA really, really doesn’t want to lose access to China’s massive AI chip market. The company is developing three new AI chips especially for China that don’t run afoul of the latest export restrictions in the US, according to The Wall Street Journal and Reuters. Last year, the US government notified the chipmaker that it would restrict the export of computer chips meant for supercomputers and artificial intelligence applications to Russia and China due to concerns that the components could be used for military purposes. That rule prevented NVIDIA from selling certain A100 and H100 chips in the country, so it designed the A800 and H800 chips specifically for the Chinese market.
However, the US government recently issued an updated set of restrictions that puts a limit on how much computing power a chip can have when it’s meant for export to the aforementioned countries. The A800 and the H800 are no longer eligible for export under the new rules, along with NVIDIA’s other products, which include its top-of-the-line RTX 4090 consumer GPU. Some reports even suggest that the company could end up canceling over $5 billion worth of advanced chip orders in China.
Nov 10 (Reuters) — Alphabet’s (GOOGL.O) Google is in talks to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Character. AI, as the fast growing artificial intelligence chatbot startup seeks capital to train models and keep up with user demand, two sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.
The investment, which could be structured as convertible notes, according to a third source, will deepen the existing partnership Character. AI already has with Google, in which it uses Google’s cloud services and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to train models.
Google and Character AI did not respond to requests for comment.
As artificial intelligence (AI) reaches the peak of its popularity, researchers have warned the industry might be running out of training data – the fuel that runs powerful AI systems.
This could slow down the growth of AI models, especially large language models, and may even alter the trajectory of the AI revolution.
But why is a potential lack of data an issue, considering how much there are on the web? And is there a way to address the risk?
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said that the digital home-share company will reap the benefits of artificial intelligence more than hotels, at least in the near term.
“The reason we know this is because AI is mostly changing… the digital world a lot faster than the physical world,” Chesky told reporters during a meeting in New York City on Tuesday. “Because we have more of a digital product, we can actually adapt and change faster.”
Chesky also said that hotels are not going to be different five years from now because of AI, but that Airbnb “will be transformed.”
The Covid Moonshot effort to develop antivirals began in 2020 with a tweet. Three and a half years later, the team has a leading drug candidate.
Earlier, CEO Elon Musk had expressed some caution regarding the production of the highly anticipated Cybertruck.
Tesla.
According to the video by TFLEV(via Electrek), the Tesla Cybertruck will have a length of 18.6 feet, a width of 79.9 inches (without mirrors), and a height of 70.5 inches (at medium setting). The wheelbase will be 143 inches, and the curb weight will range from 6,670 lbs for the dual-motor version to 6,890 lbs for the tri-motor version. The truck will also have a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,110 lbs.
Extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology
StoreDot is a leader in extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology, which uses silicon-dominant chemistries to enable rapid charging without compromising energy density or safety. The company has successfully validated its “100in5” XFC cell, which can deliver 100 miles of range in five minutes, at an independent battery lab in Israel. The cell has also shown superior performance compared to other EV batteries.
