🤖 Google’s I/O Event Anticipation

Google is attempting to make a comeback in the world of AI. This Wednesday, the company is set to reveal significant AI updates at its I/O event.

Here’s what’s being anticipated:

This is Google's moment in the spotlight, and millions will tune in to answer one burning question: Can Google make a comeback and reclaim its position as a leading contender in the AI race?

🚀 Palantir Stock Goes to The Moon

Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp announced that they anticipate turning a profit every quarter in 2023, fueled by the overwhelming interest in its new artificial intelligence platform. The result? Palantir stock (PLTR) soared over 20% in extended trading.

The Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) integrates AI into military decision-making, allowing military operators to utilize AI in their operations. The company is known for its contracts with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

Karp commented, “The demand I've seen for our AIP platform is like NOTHING I've seen in the past 20 years." The rise of ChatGPT and LLMs has, without a doubt, been good for Palantir’s business.

🚗 Elon Musk Teases Tesla FSD Trial

Elon Musk recently hinted at offering a one-month free trial of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) for all cars in North America once the system is "super smooth (not just safe)."

Musk tweeted that Tesla plans to extend the trial globally after securing local regulatory approvals and ensuring seamless performance on all roads.

Despite the name, FSD does not actually provide full autonomy. The current software version manages some driving tasks on highways and city streets, but drivers must remain aware and ready to take control when needed.

By offering FSD to all North American Teslas for a month, Tesla can generate hype for the software, while simultaneously gathering driving data to improve itself. Love him or hate him, the man knows business.
