Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed what they believe is the first machine unlearning method applied to image-based generative AI. This method offers the ability to look under the hood and actively block and remove any violent images or copyrighted works without losing the rest of the information in the model. ... Read more

Tesla FSD is making huge progress on a weekly basis. Like all AI products like Open ChatGPT and the chess and Go AI programs this will continue. Those looking at the nearterm are looking at take rates or percentage of Tesla buyers who buy Tesla FSD. Those looking out are looking at Robotaxi but I ... Read more

Tesla released FSD 12.3 to its employees and 100,000 select drivers and yesterday announced it is going wide to all 400,000+ FSD US customers. Michael Dell, CEO of Dell, tweeted “Super-impressive, Like a human driver it is. Amazed I am ” Is it really human-like? What is the technology behind that makes it human-like. I ... Read more

Tesla FSD seems to be finally happening. Nextbigfuture has had the steady coverage that you see below. Here is the link to the FSD tagged articles. Six days ago, I reported the prediction of a wide release of Tesla FSD 12.3. IF Tesla 12.3.1 is as good as all the reports then it could be ... Read more

Dwarf planets Eris and Makemake (out by Pluto) have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. This ice can provide important insights into the origin and evolution of volatiles in the outer solar system. We probably need to send new probes to the Dwarf planets to conclusively determine if liquid oceans have microbial life. Because ... Read more

Nextbigfuture reader, Scott Baker, has gathered excellent information about the state of artificial womb development. Scott did this in response to my articles describing the massive global depopulation crisis. Scott has found videos and information about were tests over one year ago of biobags to help premature sheep. These are early forms of devices which ... Read more

Joe Rogan reviewed the video statement of the now dead Boeing Whistleblower. Thew whistleblower was continuing to testify and report on Boeing’s corrupt quality process. He and a team had found 300 defects on a Boeing plane. His boss then went out with two inspectors and found only 50 defects. The whistleblower asked one of ... Read more

Low-protein diets promote health and longevity in diverse species. Restriction of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine recapitulates many of these benefits in young C57BL/6J mice. Restriction of dietary isoleucine (IleR) is sufficient to promote metabolic health and is required for many benefits of a low-protein diet in C57BL/6J males. Here, we ... Read more

Nextbigfuture has tried to simplify the reason why global population decline is not something to be ignored. While the world was fine when we had 4 billion people in 1974, we will be deep into disaster if the world population declines to 4 billion in 2080-2120. Fertile women would drop to 5% of the population ... Read more

RocketStar, a US based startup, has successfully demonstrated an electric propulsion unit for spacecraft that uses nuclear fusion-enhanced pulsed plasma. During ground tests the process did create ionizing radiation and improved the base propulsion unit’s thrust by 50%. FireStar Drive markedly improves performance, utilizing high-speed protons from ionized water vapor. When protons interact with boron ... Read more

Tesla indicated in August, 2023 they were activating 10,000 Nvidia H100 cluster and over 200 Petabytes of hot cache (NVMe) storage. This memory is used to train the FSD AI on the massive amount of video driving data. Elon Musk posted yesterday that Tesla FSD training is no longer compute constrained. Tesla has likely activated ... Read more

Here is an example of a better system for talking with humans and having a real memory. They are showing used in text chat mode but adding a voice system is just a matter of system cost. NOTE: I have seen the AIGO hyperfast language parsing and hyperfast knowledge graph in action in DEBUG mode. ... Read more

AI is quickly changing everything. Sam Altman , CEO of OpenAI and creator of ChatGPT, just told us what to expect with AI and AGI. Here we look at the most important things that Sam Altman says in his own words during his second two hour interview with Lex Fridman. Sam defines his goals for ... Read more

Get ready for major progress. Tesla FSD and Teslabot will accelerate. Tesla is no long AI compute constrained. Now we will see what unrestricted progress looks like. Yeah, 99% of people have no idea. And improvement will accelerate dramatically now that we are no longer AI training compute constrained. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 22, ... Read more

Millions of drones are being used in the Russian and Ukraine war. How is this changing the fighting? What will be the counter-measures? There are also millions of artillery shells being used. However, drones and artillery shells are expended every day. It is tens of thousands of each that are being used each day.

Many SpaceX Starship heat tiles fell off during the last orbital launch. The number of heat tiles that fell off were so high that one group of people have found some that washed up from the ocean after a storm. The heat tiles are light and fragile. SpaceX must determine improved ways to prevent the ... Read more

Hinrichs Zanegler, Tesla Semi advocate, predicts Tesla will produce and deliver between 500 and 1,000 semi’s before the high-volume line begins ramping up. He has investigated the supply chain of the Tesla Semi. Tesla is mostly getting supplier parts for the Tesla Semi. Tesla makes the battery packs, plaid motors, invertors and some other mainly ...

Last August, former Tesla AI engineer Tim Zaman posted on X that a Tesla AI cluster, built using 10,000 of Nvidia’s H100 chips, was ready to go live. Musk said a post on X in January that while a Dojo supercomputer cost $500 million to build, Tesla will spend more than that on Nvidia hardware ... Read more

Tesla has started rolling out a new FSD software update which is version 2024.2.11. Tesla releases ‘Tap to Park’ in update 2024.2.11: • Uses FSD Beta v12 • Currently employee-only • Public rollout expected soon Teslas have had Autopark capability for several years. However, autopark would only work on Tesla with ultrasonic sensors (USS). Tesla ... Read more

There is a difference between a world population that is 4 billion and strongly growing versus 4 billion and shrinking. When I write about global population collapse there are many people who will say that they lived in a world with 4 billion people and it was fine. This is like saying they were in ... Read more
