Week in Review:  Meta’s AI recruiting blitz

Welcome again a week in review! A lot of news for you this week-Travis Calnnik may return to the world of self-driving cars, Coreove CEO is now $ 10 billion, and Apple users do not want to promote the new company “F1”, and much more.

A quick note that we will be out of next week to spend the July 4 vacation. I wish you a great weekend!

And one other: Meta stumbled with the main Openai researcher, Trapit Bansal, to reinforce the new SuperIntelligence team of artificial intelligence. It is the same man who helped start making the Openai logical model alongside Ilya Sutskever. While Zuckerberg implements the red carpet (and is likely to be a giant salary), the amazing new Meta team is formed to be who is from AI Talent boiled from competing laboratories.

Rolling doors: Travis Kalanick may plan to return to self -driving cars, this time by trying to buy US arm for Pony Ai, with some help from Uber, according to the New York Times. This step will witness the moment of a complete circle of the Uber founder, who has been cooking ghost kitchens since he was expelled in 2017 and is now ready to return to independent vehicles.

A federal judge handed over a major legal victory companies: Training on copyright -protected books can be considered without a fair use permission. Creators reeling from the strike, but the court will continue to be tried regarding the use of alleged books for anthropology to build a “central library” for everything written at all.

Fashion forward: Google has released a new experimental application called Doppl that allows you to almost experience clothes using a version of artificial intelligence of yourself, all of this from one image.

Outside in the Nevada Desert: The JB Straubel Redwood Redwood material turned on the largest microGRID in North America, supported by 805 retired batteries and feeding the artificial intelligence data center.

To the moon: Michael Entertainment, Coreave CEO now is worth 10 billion dollars, just months after AI Cloud’s public subscription to Ai Cloud. What started as a fuse of mining from encryption, now the power of the Amnesty International fed by GPU is the progress of Openai and Microsoft. But with $ 8.8 billion of debt and water interest rates, he still walks on a tight rope.

Publishing rights issues: Openai quietly pulled its wonderful video, which proves the partnership of Sam Altman and Jony Ivee and the start -up of the device’s start -up with a value of $ 6.5 billion. But this is not because the deal collapses.

Never forget U2 in your iTunes: As a fans of Formula 1, there is no objection to any promotional offer for “F1: The movie” from Apple, but I may be in the minority.

My country: Just one day after Tesla began to introduce horseback riding in her new robotics in Austin, Texas, federal safety organizations already ask questions. NHTSA has confirmed that she is in contact with Tesla after the appearance of videos that show independent vehicles that speed up and move to the wrong corridor, raising new concerns about the safety of full self -driving technology that is not under the supervision of Tesla, even with the human gun.

Thanks for help? Through the search features of artificial intelligence, Google is launched in the Publisher Movement, Google introduces a new tool in Manger Ad Sordwall to help sites to earn money in other ways, such as Micropayments or surveys or even allow readers to watch ads to cancel content lock. Early tests show modest revenue bumps, but they are another sign that Google knows that they are pressing the ecosystem.

Changes in full swing: According to what was reported, Elon Musk Edid Evcher, Vice president of Tesla, in charge of sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe – appears to be a member of Musk Inner Circle. His departure comes at a time when the company’s sales growth disappeared.

Hummer ban: Instagram and Facebook users complained of a collective ban, and now people complain that Facebook groups are also affected by collective comment. The cause of the collective ban is not yet known, but the moderation dependent on artificial intelligence can be responsible.

Before you go

One casting: The iconic Windows error screen gets a transformation nearly 40 years later on its first appearance in the first version of Windows. Instead of the blue screen for death, users will now be shown on the black death screen. Rip to a real one.
