Tesla's Big Event

Elon & Tesla go BIG:

Elon unveils Optimus Robots, Cybercabs (without a steering wheel), Robotaxi, and the Cybervan  at the “We, Robot” Event

Autonomous Robots are here, and as Elon showed, they’re even bartending!

The inside of these cybercabs are incredible- there are no steering wheels!

Elon’s announcement of this parallels a moment in history where Jobs unveiled the iphone- with no buttons.

2/ Is OpenAI Splitting From Microsoft?

OpenAI, once heavily reliant on Microsoft for servers and computing power after Microsoft acquired a majority stake, is reportedly exploring its own infrastructure and AI chips. Are they heading for a split? This move could signal a desire for independence, as OpenAI execs suggest that Microsoft’s grip on their resources may be loosening.

3/ Elon on Sam Altman: “I Don’t Trust Him with AI”

Elon didn’t hold back, once again expressing his concern over OpenAI’s transformation from a nonprofit to a closed-source for-profit entity. His question remains, “How can you turn an open-source, nonprofit into a closed-source, for-profit company?” And if this is allowed, why aren’t more organizations doing the same?

4/ Zoom Flexes Its AI Muscles

At Zoomtopia, Zoom took center stage with the unveiling of Companion 2.0, an AI-powered agent that assists users with everything from browsing the web to creating avatars and completing tasks based on real-time scenarios. Picture this—AI agents reminding you to “circle back” for the next meeting? Zoom is truly leveling up.

5/ Army Turns to AI for Hurricane Relief

The U.S. Army has begun using AI to assist in hurricane relief efforts by tracking cell outages, road closures, and supply needs. Their AI-powered system, Maven, which is also used on the battlefield, pulls critical data to help leaders make life-saving decisions in real-time during emergency scenarios. AI is proving to be a vital tool not only in combat but in disaster response as well.
