Study tests whether AI can convincingly answer existential questions
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: Elon Musk, ethics, robotics/AI
A new study has explored whether AI can provide more attractive answers to humanity’s most profound questions than history’s most influential thinkers.
Researchers from the University of New South Wales first fed a series of moral questions to Salesforce’s CTRL system, a text generator trained on millions of documents and websites, including all of Wikipedia. They added its responses to a collection of reflections from the likes of Plato, Jesus Christ, and, err, Elon Musk.
The team then asked more than 1,000 people which musings they liked best — and whether they could identify the source of the quotes.

Tesla’s $20,000 Compact Car — Coming Soon After Tesla Battery Day Reveals New Batteries
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: Elon Musk, media & arts, sustainability, transportation
Tesla is working on a compact car that will be manufactured in China and distributed worldwide. The battery technologies required for a compact car will be unveiled at Tesla Battery Day that will enable Tesla to make a small car for less than $25,000, possibly close to $20,000 or less. The battery cost is the main factor to drive down the cost of an electric vehicle. The compact car is coming soon after Tesla Battery Day technologies are revealed. The new batteries will allow Tesla to shrink the battery pack’s size while offering enough range for everyday driving. Elon Musk’s speech at the launch event in China suggests the car will be quite unique, just like the Cybertruck.
