Elon Musk sued by “Blade Runner 2049” producers over Robotaxi imagery

Posted by in categories: economics, Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Elon Musk, Tesla and Warner Brothers Discovery are being sued by “Blade Runner 2049” production firm Alcon Entertainment for alleged copyright infringement, which accused them on Monday of “a massive economic theft.”

The big picture: Alcon alleges the defendants used an AI-generated image like the one from “Blade Runner 2049” to promote Tesla’s robotaxi concept at Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio lot in Burbank, California, earlier this month after it denied their request to use “an iconic still” from the 2017 movie at the event.

Zoom in: The production company alleges in the suit, filed on Monday in federal court in Los Angeles, that the event used an image that was reminiscent of a scene involving Ryan Gosling’s character looking into an apocalyptic world in the sequel to the 1982 sci-fi classic “Blade Runner.”

Would you like to see more applications for Neuralink in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Elon Musk’s brain technology startup, Neuralink, reported that its implant is functioning well in a second trial patient, identified as Alex. This implant is designed to help paralyzed patients control digital devices through thought alone. Unlike the first patient, Noland Arbaugh, who experienced thread retraction issues post-surgery, Alex has not faced similar problems. Neuralink implemented new measures to prevent such complications, including reducing brain motion during surgery. Both patients have been able to use the implant to perform tasks like playing video games, browsing the internet, and even designing 3D objects.

Elon Musk’s xAI built a 100,000-GPU supercluster in just 19 days

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Crazy: Few would argue that Elon Musk is driven. Despite his various detractors, the entrepreneur has built Tesla and SpaceX into major competitors, if not leaders, in their respective industries. This success comes amid various side endeavors like Neuralink and Twitter/X transition. Now, his xAI team has gotten an AI supercluster up and running in just a few weeks.

Elon Musk and his xAI team have seemingly done the impossible. The company built a supercluster of 100,000 Nvidia H200 Blackwell GPUs in only 19 days. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called the feat “superhuman.” Huang shared the incredible story in an interview with the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley group on X.

According to Huang, constructing a supercomputer of this size would take most crews around four years – three years in planning and one year on shipping, installation, and operational setup. However, in less than three weeks, Musk and his team managed the entire process – from concept to full functionality. The xAI supercluster even completed its first AI training run shortly after the cluster was powered up.
