I just asked Google Bard to translate an e-mail written in German into English. Somehow it translated the e-mail into Thai.
My first prompt contained both the command to translate and the quote of the e-mail.
I prompted it again with only the e-mail quote, and it replied with Thai translation again.
I finally get the correct reply when I prompted again, this time with the command only.

It seems like the AI has gotten more "creative". It shows that it still has room for improvement.

It depends on terms and conditions.
Beta version leaves responsibility to the users.

You mean like a car that you drive?

The rule in aviation is that the pilot is entirely responsible for what he does (except when under acknowledged direct control by an authorised air traffic control officer) but can accept information and guidance from others - including machines. There is a clear distinction between "be advised that..." and "turn left immediately". You can override a GPS-coupled autopilot and even the automatic trim (thanks to the 737MAX debacle).

My bog-standard car gives me lots of information about speed,  temperature, fuel state, position, speed limits, even traffic priorities, but my mind makes all the decisions - even to ignore warning lights or traffic signals if some greater emergency turns up.

So the question is just how much autonomy  does the Tesla have? Anything that can't be overridden is the liability of the manufacturer - you can't exclude fundamental product safety liability through Ts and Cs.

And there is a very strong legal precedent. Back in the 1960s a small company manufactured an intrauterne contraceptive device that did a lot of harm. By the time a class action was initiated for compensation, the company was bankrupt and dissolved. So the courts agreed that the victims could sue Dupont Chemicals, who supplied the raw plastic material, even though they had no part in the design or clinical trial of the device. Massive payout, and it is now impossible to buy any Dupont product for medical use, which makes thick-film circuits difficult to incorporate in a medical device since Dupont make really good TF inks!

Same with any components( principally semiconductors ) I have bought for quite some time now. "Not to be used in any medical device" or "not to be used in any medical device without written permission", company shall not be liable etc,etc.

I never drive a Tesla, but I've watched YouTube videos by Tesla owners. They mostly give positive reviews.
Afaik, Tesla FSD can be overridden anytime by the driver, as shown in many earlier videos. But lately, there are more videos showing FSD journey fully automatically with no intervention.

How AI Unlocks Hidden Insights in Research Reports
Quote
Unlock Hidden Insights in Analyst Research Reports with AI

Analyst reports contain a goldmine of market intelligence, but key insights are often buried across hundreds of pages. Reading these dense reports to find relevant information is incredibly inefficient.

Now, innovative technologies like vector search engines, machine learning algorithms, and natural language processing are transforming how insights can be extracted from research reports.

See how vector similarity models like Pinecone and FAISS convert unstructured text into structured vector data optimized for semantic search. Queries based on contextual meaning are now possible, beyond just keywords.

Large language models like GPT-3 and Claude analyze query context and deliver concise answers drawn from connected insights across sources. Reports become interactive portals instead of isolated documents.

This video explores how AI is revolutionizing business intelligence extraction:

Vector search vs traditional keyword search
Semantic similarity and relationship understanding
Automated synthesis of insights across reports
Conversational interfaces and natural language processing
Increased efficiency and relevance
Discover how technologies like vector databases, machine learning, and chatbots can unlock hidden insights in analyst research reports. The future possibilities for leveraging AI to enhance business intelligence are limitless.

Analyst reports contain a goldmine of market intelligence, but key insights are often buried across hundreds of pages. Reading these dense reports to find relevant information is incredibly inefficient.
Which is why reports always have an executive summary or abstract at the top, and conclusions and recommendations at the end. Nobody reads the bulk of the text unless these "insights" are really important.

In the bad old days of print, I worked with a civil service translator on a number of Japanese and Russian papers. He scanned titles for stuff relevant to his clients, and if we wanted more he simply translated the abstract and the axes of the graphs. If that was really interesting, he'd read the whole paper to you but that was very rarely necessary because we had Real Intelligence.

Musk: GOODBYE to Legacy Tesla FSD CODE!! Plus, Is Compression Intelligence??

Quote
In a recent post, Elon Musk says that the Tesla AI team is training a NEW FSD Beta architecture that is replacing about 300,000 lines of legacy code with only 3,000 lines of Neural Network, Software 2.0 code--and that this is the final piece of old software 1.0 to go! Not only is this exciting news but it ties into a theory that says compression is intelligence, which would mean the new code is a whole lot smarter than the old!

We?ll also glimpse Stable Beluga 2 ? the ?first true competitor? to ChatGPT, based on the open source Llama 2, hear about Universal Jailbreaks, learn that OpenAI has surrendered on Text Detection, plus I?ll cover the highlights of the Senate hearing on AI.

Chapters:
0:18 ? RT-2
2:46 ? 100X GPT-4
3:57 ? AI Video
4:29 ? Altman Atlantic
8:41 ? Jan Leike Interview

We've seen a lot of AI news talking about high level software, which are more focus on the application of AI models to solve users' problems. But those AI models need appropriate hardware and low level software to run the system for training and deployment.
