Hi, AI Futurists!

Escape velocity, originally a concept from rocket science, symbolizes a crucial threshold for achieving widespread development across different facets of our lives. It represents the minimum speed needed to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and venture into orbit and beyond.

The Importance of Escape Velocity in the AI Age

In the AI era, a defining moment occurred with the public launch of GPT-3.5 on November 22, 2022, which quickly captivated global interest, garnering over 100 million users within two weeks. This event exemplifies one type of "escape velocity" in technology adoption.

Another notable example is longevity escape velocity (LEV), aiming to extend human life by at least one year annually by 2030, potentially achieving immortality.

Additionally, upcoming advancements like Tesla's anticipated robotaxi announcement in Fall 2024 and NVIDIA's pursuit to surpass the valuations of tech giants underscore how industries strive to reach their own pivotal thresholds, driven by innovation and market dynamics in the AI age.

Without further ado, let’s get started.

OpenAI's “New” Five Levels: Tracking AI Progress To Reach AGI

OpenAI has defined five levels of AI to measure progress toward AGI, akin to auto-pilot levels in cars. We're currently at Level 1, where AI can interact conversationally. This system aids in evaluating milestones and ensuring safe advancement toward AI that outperforms humans.

Skild AI Raises $300M for Embodied Intelligence Revolution

Skild AI, founded by Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta, secured $300M in Series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Coatue, and others. The Pittsburgh-based company is developing a general-purpose AI model for robotics, aiming to revolutionize robot behavior across industries with its Skild Brain and advanced platforms. This breakthrough technology promises significant advancements in automation and productivity.

Tesla Delays Robotaxi Event. 2024 is the “Robotaxi Hell Year”

Remember Tesla’s production hell in 2018 to produce 5,000 Model 3s a week. They even built a tent in their Fremont factory. Well, now, we have a similar case for a more complex problem. Tesla delayed its robotaxi event to October, casting doubt on a key promise by Elon Musk. This move led to a 6% drop in Tesla’s stock. The delay suggests challenges in developing prototypes, which could impact the company's AI-driven autonomous vehicle ambitions.
