The cybertruck needs to be big or it will cause more harm than good
Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said that demand for the Cybertruck was “so far off the hook”, adding, “You can’t even see the hook.” However, he added that Cybertruck’s range is “huge” and that it can go from 0 to 60 mph in under five minutes. Musk also showed a video of the truck towing a Porsche 911.
The word that is the Word of the Year is authentic
Merriam-Webster has named authentic as its word of the year 2020. It was driven by stories and discussions on artificial intelligence, celebrity culture, identity, and social media. This came after Google announced that it would build AI chips for its own AI-powered cars, a project that is expected to become a billion-dollar business within five years.
The deliveries ofTesla’s Cybertruck are scheduled to start Thursday
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced a price hike for the Model 3 Cybertruck to $60,990 (over 41 lakh). The rear-wheel drive version of the truck will cost over 5 lakh more than the original price of $39,900. Musk said it could be 18 months before Cybertruck contributes any significant cash flow, adding that it could be 18 months before Model 3 contributessignificant cash flow.
We were not too close to the Cybertruck
Elon Musk’s electric truck Cybertruck is set to make its debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on November 28. The truck, which has a top speed of 160 kmph, was designed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It is Tesla’s first electric truck and is made of cold-rolled stainless steel.
Scaling deep learning for discovery
Stable crystal discovery using a machine-learning model for oxidation-state balancing in a single crystal structure has been found in Materials Project 16 and OQMD 17 1e. The training sets are sampled uniformly from the materials from the Materials Project and from our structural pipeline. Following Roost (non-representation learning from stoichiometry)58, GNNs are effective at predicting the formation energy of a composition and structure.
380,000 new materials were dreamed up by DeepMind
A US-based team has created 41 new ‘chemically bound and unusual’ materials using artificial intelligence (AI) in 17 days. The system named ‘Gno ME’ was used at the Department of Energy’s Laboratory for Biologically Bound Materials (LBNL) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to predict the existence of materials. In 17 days, nine of the new materials were created after active learning improved the synthesis.
Data centres have huge water footprints with the growth of Artificial Intelligence
AI-based health algorithms have been shown to diagnose skin lesions and rashes less accurately in Black people than in white people, a report said. It added that AI-based dermatology algorithms are trained on data predominantly collected from white populations. The report further said the risks of attacks on data without researchers being aware are increasing as more data sets are being used.
Black Friday deals on Apple devices
Apple’s AirPods Pro are now available at an all-time low price of $349 (27,980) for the second generation. The AirPods Pro features a new H2 chip which allows for improved noise cancellation. Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro also includes swipe controls and the ability to charge in-car with Apple’s AirPod compatible charging stations.
Everyone is quick in releasing artificial intelligence products
US-based artificial intelligence firm OpenAI has unveiled its new chatbot ‘ChatGPT’, which it claims is the first voice-commanded AI chatbot. Users will be able to use the chatbot to ask questions and have conversations, without ever leaving the platform. Earlier this month, OpenAI’s CEO Brian Altman was fired over “malfeasance” and “malfeasance related to the company’s financial, business, safety…privacy practice”.
Sam has reached agreement to return to OpenAI
OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman has resigned after the board voted to fire him last week. Responding to Altman’s resignation, OpenAI’s Board said it has formed a new Board of Directors to “reset the governance of OpenAI”. They added that they will also appoint a new board of directors. Earlier, Altman claimed that OpenAI was the only one with a capped profit structure.
