Main AI Updates
A self-driving Waymo vehicle was pulled over by a police officer in Phoenix after running a red light. 🚦 The vehicle briefly entered an oncoming traffic lane before chilling in a parking lot.
Bodycam footage shows the officer finding… no one inside the self-driving Jaguar. Dispatch records say the car "freaked out," and the cop couldn’t issue a ticket to a computer.
Waymo initially zipped its lips but later blamed inconsistent construction signs for making the vehicle go rogue for 30 seconds. Now, federal regulators are investigating Waymo's self-driving software.
Why does it matter?
This incident shows how tricky it is to deploy self-driving cars. As these vehicles hit the streets more often, companies need to make sure they can navigate real-world chaos safely and reliably.

Cloudflare just launched a one-click tool to block all AI scrapers and crawlers. With demand for training data skyrocketing and sneaky bots on the rise, this new feature helps users protect their precious content without hassle.
Who’s behind the curtain?
Bytespider, Amazonbot, ClaudeBot, and GPTBot are the top AI crawlers lurking on Cloudflare's network. Some bots try to disguise themselves as real browsers, but Cloudflare's ML models still sniff them out.
Why does it matter?
In June, AI bots swarmed 39% of top sites, but less than 3% fought back. With Cloudflare's new feature, websites can shield users' precious data and take back control.

Data and stats
According to the Society of Authors, generative AI has already caused 26% of illustrators and 36% of translators to lose work.
The CEO of Tata Consultancy Services, a major Indian IT firm, predicts that AI will drastically cut the need for call centers within a year, revolutionizing the industry across Asia and beyond. 📞
What might this future look like?
Bland AI gives us a sneak peek.
Even physical jobs, once considered safe, are now being offshored.
But that’s offshoring of jobs that used to require presence. What about automation and regular manual jobs?
We can see where we are headed. 🤖 🌍️
But don’t worry too much.
LLMs began with little hype, but the breakthrough with GPT-3.5 brought significant attention and investment.
Yet, these models depend on global IP, and addressing data ownership could dent companies' valuations. To divert attention from regulatory scrutiny, AI companies hype AGI as an existential threat.
Now, models have hit a plateau because you need exponential data for linear growth. The next step? Access more personal data.
At some point, automated AI training data generation from real life might become an industry, such as automatic labs that collect chemical/physical data or multi-spectral video collection drones documenting the entire world.
But amidst all this, the critical question remains: where do we draw the line? 🚧
