Did You Catch Tesla’s Robotaxi Reveal? 🚖

Thankfully Tesla’s Cybercabs wont have creepy animatronic robot drivers like the ones in Total Recall...

They’re actually a lot more reminiscent of Kitt from Knight Rider…if you’re old enough to remember that 👀

And we just thought this was a cool event poster…

Anyway, here’s the full livestream of the event. We recommend starting at 54:15, unless you want to trip out on the visuals for an hour 🍄

The Details…

Tesla’s Master Plan Part 4 is all about ditching parking lots, letting AI drive while you nap, and giving you more free time.

Highlights from the event include the Cybercab, obviously—the flashy, stainless-steel ride with unassisted, fully autonomous driving that looks like it was directly imported from the future. Tesla promises that the Cybercab will be the most inexpensive mode of travel by 2027.

Then there's the RoboVan, a slick, no-window, fully autonomous bus for 20 people (or your groceries). Even Optimus the robot made an appearance.

AI DOD Group is Fast-Tracking Military Tech Innovation 🎖

The United States Department of Defense just launched the T.T.A.G (Transition Tracking Action Group) to accelerate the flow of new technologies from research labs to various US military organizations.

By using AI and data analytics, the group aims to cut waste and speed up decision-making, helping the military stay ahead of our global rivals.

While this approach could save billions and speed up innovation, there are concerns about overreliance on AI, potential safety risks from rushing tech to the field, and new cybersecurity vulnerabilities that may arise.

Don’t Zuck it Up
Zuckerberg’s AI is Actually Crushing It 💪

Meta's open-source Llama models are quickly gaining traction, popping up in their apps like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and being used by other companies like DoorDash and Goldman Sachs.

By making its AI free for developers, Meta is putting some serious pressure on AI giants like Google and OpenAI. With billions of users and a growing AI empire, Meta is positioning itself as a force to watch in the AI space.

Many startups are also turning to Meta’s AI models for their exceptional inference speed, providing the necessary edge they need in their race for unicorn status.
