Elon's Latest Episode of "Pimp my Ride"

+ OpenAI Teaches Bots to Play Nice 🐝

Elon is so back with Cybercab, an industry titan is overly optimistic about the future of AI, and OpenAI drops its multi-agent “Swarm.”

In this edition we’ll be covering…

  • Tesla’s latest announcements

  • Creating Podcasts from YouTube Videos with NotebookLM

  • Dario’s “Machines of Loving Grace

  • And much more…

Let’s get into it!

No Wheel, No Problem: Tesla’s Hands-Free Hollywood Moment

Elon Musk recently took center stage at a Hollywood backlot to unveil Tesla’s Cybercab, a futuristic two-seater with no steering wheel or pedals, because apparently, we’re all terrible drivers and AI can do better.

We also got a sneak peek at the Robovan (for when you need to transport your entire Twitter following) and updates on the Optimus Humanoid robot (your future housekeeper/overlord).

Key Takeaways

  • Tesla’s Cybercab & Robovan Unveiled: Musk introduced the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle, claiming it would operate at 20 cents per mile and cost less than $30,000. A larger vehicle, Robovan, was also (unexpectedly) revealed, which is capable of transporting 20 people at a time. The vehicles could potentially enter production by 2027.

  • Autonomous Dreams?: Musk promised “unsupervised Full-Self Driving” (FSD) in California and Texas by next year, allowing passengers to fall asleep while their cars drive them. However, current testing shows FSD still requires human intervention every 13 miles.

  • AI First Approach: Tesla’s autonomous strategy focuses on AI, cameras, and vast training data, opting not to use lidar technology, which many competitors prefer.

  • Your Personal Robot Costs How Much?: Musk predicts Tesla’s Optimus robots will cost between $20,000 and $30,000, confidently stating they’ll become “the biggest product ever of any kind.”

So What?

Tesla has finally unveiled its highly anticipated fully autonomous Robotaxi, priced under $30,000. With such affordable autonomous transport, both the Robotaxi and the Robovan could dramatically transform the future of transportation.

Despite the fanfare, many observers remain cautious, citing Tesla’s historical production delays, unfulfilled promises on FSD, and regular safety investigations.

  3. Once that is loaded, open the Notebook Guide

  4. Use the chat interface to ask questions about your sources, or use Audio Overview to create your two-person podcast about the YouTube video

  5. Use the three dots next to your generated podcast to download it and listen to it on the go!

I recently generated a podcast about how domain specific AI agents will reshape the industrial world, check it out below 👇️ 

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is Especially Optimistic about the Future of AI

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has published his insightful essay titled Machines of Loving Grace, where he delves into the potential future of artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity.

Specifically…

  • Amodei predicts the development of highly capable AI, potentially achieving Nobel Prize-level work by 2026 (hint, hint - AGI?).

  • He suggests AI could contribute to extending human lifespan to around 150 years.

  • Amodei argues that AI could compress a century's worth of biological and medical advancements into 5-10 years.

  • The essay discusses AI's potential role in addressing issues like world hunger, slow economic growth in some regions, and climate change.

So What?

Dario Amodei’s Machines of Loving Grace offers a thought-provoking look at the evolving relationship between humans and AI.

As we stand on the brink of this AI revolution, one thing's clear: whether it's extending our lives or just handling our calendar invites, AI is set to become an integral part of our world. Let's just hope it remembers to keep the "loving" in "Machines of Loving Grace."

OpenAI Reveals its Agentic Framework, Swarm

OpenAI has introduced Swarm, an experimental framework that's causing a stir in the AI community. But wait…

Isn’t this just for devs?

Aren’t we kind of far from this kind of thing becoming real and valuable?

AI agents are intelligent software programs designed to perform tasks or solve problems on behalf of users, often without direct human supervision. They combine the language understanding and reasoning capabilities of advanced AI with the ability to take actions in the digital world.

Swarm is a method used for multi-agent orchestration, in other words, a place to develop, maintain, and coordinate many agents.

New agent tools built in the near future could be powered by the Swarm framework, especially as this moves towards becoming a real product following experimentation.

Sample Usage for Swarm:

from swarm import Swarm, Agent

client = Swarm()

def transfer_to_agent_b():
    return agent_b


agent_a = Agent(
    name="Agent A",
    instructions="You are a helpful agent.",
    functions=[transfer_to_agent_b],
)

agent_b = Agent(
    name="Agent B",
    instructions="Only speak in Haikus.",
)

response = client.run(
    agent=agent_a,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "I want to talk to agent B."}],
)

print(response.messages[-1]["content"])

Output:

Hope glimmers brightly,
New paths converge gracefully,
What can I assist?
