Happy Friday, everyone, and congratulations on making it through another week. While temperatures may be dropping here in Wisconsin, the intersection of business, tech, and human experience continues heating up. As usual, I've got a rundown on some of the most notable, so let's get rolling.
SpaceX Starship - While I always thought the moon landing videos were cool, I never fully understood why people got so excited about them. That is until I watched the SpaceX Starship catch this week. While I continue struggling to understand the end game of space exploration, I couldn’t resist jumping off the couch as the tower perfectly caught that rocket.
Tesla's "We, Robot" - Tesla's latest big event had all the elements of an actual Hollywood event, including the immeasurable amount of hot air and empty promises being blown around. Whether you want to talk about the remotely-managed Tesla robots or the impractical CyberCabs, there was no shortage of fluff. However, I'll at least acknowledge that it was a pretty solid SciFi event.
Amazon's Gone Nuclear - You know, I was just thinking to myself, “We need mini nuclear power plants everywhere.” Like their same-day delivery, Amazon has delivered with a $500M investment in modular nuclear power to fuel the growing energy demand of AI. Maybe it’s just my growing up on The Simpsons, but I can’t help but wonder if this might not work out so well.
Nudity Bot Chaos - There are a handful of AI applications I feel strongly have no redeeming qualities, and undressing or nudifying bots/apps are one of them. The ability to exploit someone without their consent for your satisfaction isn’t okay under any circumstance. Unfortunately, there’s an exponential rise in them, and the damage they’re causing is horrendous. I get people get feisty about “governance,” but there are some things that just shouldn’t be allowed.
AI Human-Level Reasoning - Based on some sources, you’d think AI surpassed human capability in early 2023, but according to Meta’s AI Chief Scientist, we’re a long way out. He goes so far as to say the AI modeling we’d need to get there is nothing more than a theory. What I find most interesting about his “solution” is its circular logic. While it is an interesting theory, I don’t see us ever getting there.
