    I’d guess people will make many different variants of AGI. The evil sociopathic people (who always seem to rise to the top in human hierarchies) will certainly want an AGI in their image.

    Over and over again human societies seem to fall to these people - the eternal battle between democracy and autocracy being one example.

    Will we have competing/warring AGI’s? Maybe we’ll have to.

    It will be interesting to see how soon this spreads outside of the US and China. Globally, most other Level 4 efforts seem to be centered on buses and transit. Some European carmakers have the tech, but as yet seem uninterested in the taxi business. Knowing how Europe operates, many rules and regulations for this will ultimately be done at the EU level, though that doesn’t stop any EU country going ahead with what it wants now.






















  • There’s a few ways they say it may help, this one seems the main one.

    We foresee a future in which LLMs serve as forward-looking generative models of the scientific literature. LLMs can be part of larger systems that assist researchers in determining the best experiment to conduct next. One key step towards achieving this vision is demonstrating that LLMs can identify likely results. For this reason, BrainBench involved a binary choice between two possible results. LLMs excelled at this task, which brings us closer to systems that are practically useful. In the future, rather than simply selecting the most likely result for a study, LLMs can generate a set of possible results and judge how likely each is. Scientists may interactively use these future systems to guide the design of their experiments.












  • Base fares start as low as 4 yuan (around 55 cents), compared with 18 yuan (around $2.48) for a taxi driven by a human

    China is already the global leader in 21st century energy - dominating renewables, batteries, and EVs. Now it’s poised to lead in robotic vehicles too.

    Its robotaxis cost $30k, Waymo, who’s been in the robotaxi game longer costs $150k. Combine this with the fact Baidu can offer fares that are just 20% of a human driver in China and still make money and you can see how the global demand for such vehicles could be in the hundreds of millions. Tariffs in Europe and America may slow things there, but it won’t be the case for much of the rest of the world. Cheap Chinese robotaxis, with fares a fraction of today’s human-driven journeys, will be ubiquitous all over the planet in the 2030s.
