AI World Podcasts: Dive into Tech Innovations - 3-Hour Compilation #8
hey everyone and welcome to another deep dive uh today we're going to be checking out xping xang this company's doing some really interesting stuff Beyond just electric vehicles yeah we're talking AI we're talking Robotics and their recent AI Day event kind of blew everyone away so we're diving deep into some of the coverage from YouTube channels like infinite intelligence and uh AI Revolution to get a better picture of what xping is up to you know what really stood out to me what's that this humanoid robot they've developed called iron iron it's not just some concept or prototype this thing is already on the factory floor assembling X pang's EVS well hold on so you're telling me they've got robots building cars alongside human workers yep that's straight out of a sci-fi movie I mean did you see the footage iron is walking picking things up using tools it's wild it really is and it makes you think about what about how fast this technology is advancing I mean is this a sign of what's to come are we headed towards a fure future where robots are doing most of the jobs humans do now those are some big questions and definitely ones we'll be tackling today but first let's break down exactly what iron is and what it can do okay so first off iron is roughly human Siz about 5'8 and 154 lbs not bad but here's the really impressive part it has incredible dexterity dexterity yeah 60 joints and 200 degrees of freedom so it can move in all sorts of ways and get this it's hands alone have 15 degrees of freedom wa 15 Dees of Freedom just in the hands mhm that's more than most industrial robots it's not just brute strength thereafter they're going for fine motor skills the kind of stuff we thought only humans could do exactly think about how complex it is to assemble a car all those tiny parts that need to fit together perfectly right iron can handle it and it's not just factory work either no xbang sees these robots being used everywhere in stores offices even homes okay now that's where it gets really interesting imagine walking into a store and a humanoid robot greets you or having one help you out with chores around the house that's a whole other level it could completely change how we live and work it really could but it does raise some concerns too like what well how will this affect jobs and what about the potential for these robots to be misused yeah those are important questions we'll definitely come back to them but right now I'm curious about the brains behind all this how is iron able to do these complex tasks well it all comes down to X Bang's custom AI chip they made their chip yeah they call it Turing it's specifically designed for AI processing and it has a whopping 40 cores 40 cores that's like having 40 mini brains inside iron yeah you can think of it that way each core is dedicated to calculations and having so many working together gives Turing incredible processing power 3,000 tops to be exact 2 Ops Terra operations per second it's a measure of how fast the chip can perform calculations and that's what allows iron to see its surroundings process information make decisions and move with such Precision it's not just the physical design that's impressive it's the powerful AI driving its actions makes you wonder if we're getting closer to those Sci-Fi movies where robots become self-aware sensient robots are still in the realm of fiction for now right but the advancements we're seeing in AI are definitely pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible and X paying isn't the only one pushing those boundaries either definitely not you've got Tesla with their Optimus robot too yeah are there any similarities between iron and Optimus definitely both companies are using their knowledge from self-driving cars to make these robots they're applying the same ideas about perception decision- making and control that let their cars drive themselves to help these robots interact with the world that's pretty cool so it's a race between xang and Tesla to create the most advanced humanoid robot you could say that but it's not all smooth sailing what do you mean well there's been some controversy around iron's design oh really yeah some people are saying it looks a little too similar to a robot from figure AI accusations of copying have been thrown around H that raises some interesting questions about innovation in the tech world as more companies jump into robotics we're bound to see more debates about who invented what first definitely a gray area but hey the fact that we're even having this conversation shows how fast this technology is evolving we're going from robots that could only do simple repetitive tasks to robots that can mimic human dexterity and intelligence it's incredible to to think about so we've covered iron but xbang had a bunch of other big announcements at their AI day they did let's move on to their electric vehicle Tech particularly something called the kunang super Electric System ah yes the one that supposedly gives their EVS a range of 870 mil on a single charge 870 mil that's like driving from New York City to Chicago without stopping I know right and they claim it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes 12 minutes that's faster than ordering a pizza it's mindblowing if these claims hold up it could revolutionize the EV Market I mean 12 minutes to charge completely eliminates that range anxiety people have about electric cars it really does knowing you can drive that far and recharge so quickly would be a GameChanger xping might be trying to become the apple of the EV world what makes you say that well they're not just building cars they're creating a whole ecosystem the software the charging infrastructure and now potentially even humanoid robots to work in their factories that's a good point it's a very apple-like approach so what's the secret sauce behind this kunang super El Electric System how are they achieving such incredible range in charging times a key factor is their use of silicon carbide technology silicon carbide I've never heard of that what is it it's a material that's becoming really popular in EVS it has some advantages over traditional silicon especially when it comes to the electronics that control the flow of power okay for one it can handle much higher voltages and temperatures so that explains the faster charging exactly and it also leads to broch efficiency less energy is lost as heat which means more of the batter's power goes towards actually moving the car and that translates into a longer range precisely they're getting more performance out of their batteries thanks to this new material is silk and carbide something other EV makers are using too or is xping ahead of the curve here silicon carbide is gaining Traction in the industry but xping seems to be leading the charge they've invested heavily in this technology and they clearly see it as a key differentiator for their EVS so xang is pushing the limits in both Robotics and Battery Technology yeah they're going all in on the future it's exciting and kind of scary to think about what they'll come up with next you know we haven't even talked about their flying cars yet oh yeah the flying cars that's a whole other level of futuristic X pang's subsidiary HT arrow is leading that effort what kind of flying car are they working on they're actually pursuing two different types two the first is an EV call uh an EV call it stands for electric vertical takeoff and Landing so basically a giant drone that carries people exactly it takes off and lands like a helicopter but it's powered by electricity so no noisy gas guzzling engine nope much quieter and better for the environment that's awesome what about the other type of flying car this one is a hybrid flying car that has its own separate charging vehicle okay it us uses tilt rotor technology meaning it can take off and land vertically like a helicopter but also fly horizontally like an airplane wa so it can switch between flying modes exactly they're designed to be more efficient for longer trips they can take advantage of vertical takeoff in cities and then switch to horizontal flight for traveling longer distances that's amazing so short hops around town with the ev2 and longer Journeys with the hybrid flying car exactly X Bang's got all the bases covered what about the any details on Range passenger capacity or Price they're aiming for a range of over 300 mil for both types of flying cars and the hybrid will be able to carry up to six passengers six passengers it's like a minivan in the sky and the craziest part they're targeting a price of around $279,000 for the hybrid $279,000 that's actually less than I expected for something so Advanced right are they selling these things anytime soon they're moving fast they've already done some successful test flights and they're planning to start public demonstrations soon they want to open pre-orders in December and get the first flying cars out by 2026 20126 that's just around the corner the future's coming at us fast it is but we need to be realistic too there are a lot of challenges to overcome before flying cars become mainstream definitely what are some of the biggest hurdles you see one of the biggest is air traffic management how do we integrate thousands maybe millions of flying cars into the airspace we already have I imagine if everyone zipping around up there with no rules it' be chaos we need extremely sophisticated systems to track and manage all those vehicles to prevent collisions and ensure safety not to mention noise pollution could you imagine the constant buzzing of flying cars overhead it's a valid concern even though electric motors are quieter a lot of flying cars could still create a lot of noise and what about safety flying cars are much more complex than cars on the ground what happens if one malfunctions or loses power while it's in the air right these are all things we need to think about we need to make sure flying cars are rigorously tested and meet the highest safety standards before they're allowed to fly alongside airplanes and well you know over our heads so even though flying cars sound amazing there are a lot of practical and logistical challenges to figure out before they become a common site definitely it's not just about the technology itself it's about building the infrastructure and regulations to support it safely and responsibly it sounds like we've got a lot more to discuss yeah from the impact of flying cars on our cities to the ethics of humanoid robots we do there's a lot to unpack here well folks going to wrap up this part of our Deep dive into xping we've covered a lot of ground today but there's still more to come stay tuned for part two where we'll dig deeper into the implications of these Innovations should be interesting we'll see you then xbang seems to be positioning themselves as more than just a car company don't you think yeah it's kind of like they want to be seen as this like Tech Powerhouse not just an automaker exactly they're pushing boundaries so what do you think is motivating them to go after these super ambitious projects like the robots and the flying cars I think it's a few things partly they want to be seen as innovators like the leaders in the tech world not just cars so it's about branding establishing themselves as a forward thinking company yeah but also I think they're tapping into some real world Trends and problems like what well for one labor shortages right tons of Industries are struggling to find workers and it's only going to get worse as the population gets older so robots like iron could step in and fill those gaps exactly and then think about cities more and more people are moving to urban areas leading to more traffic and strain on Transportation right and that's where flying cars come in ex sense so while these Innovations seem futuristic they're actually addressing real problems we're facing today that's a great point it's like how people who first embraced personal computers back in the day ended up ahead of the curve right because computers became essential could the same thing happen with robots and flying cars it's definitely possible we're still early but those who invest now could have a big Advantage later let's talk more about the impact of robots like iron on jobs do you think robots are going to take our jobs it's the age-old question isn't it ever since automation started in factories and now with robots getting smarter and more capable it's a valid concern some jobs will definitely be displaced as robots like iron become more common especially jobs that are repetitive dangerous or require really precise movements so what happens to the people who currently hold those jobs well some argue that new jobs will be created jobs related to building maintaining and operating the robots so it's not necessarily a loss of jobs but a shift in the types of jobs right others think we need to rethink our whole system of work and income Al together like maybe with a universal basic income that's a pretty big change it's a lot to think about but for now let's switch gears back to flying cars what are your biggest concerns about them like we touched on earlier air traffic management is huge we need systems to prevent accidents and keep things organized yeah and security too how do we stop people from using flying cars for bad things exactly imagine a flying car being used in a terrorist attack or crashing into a crowded place we need to think about how to prevent those scenarios what about the environment even if they're electric all those flying cars will still need energy true we need to make sure that energy comes from sustainable sources and noise pollution too is we mentioned before right and there's also the issue of who will actually be able to afford these flying cars could they end up making inequality worse it reminds me of the internet all the excitement at first but then all these unforeseen negative consequences yeah like misinformation and privacy issues it's a good analogy it shows that even promising Technologies can have downsides so overall what's your take on xing's strategy do you think they're setting themselves up for success or are they trying to do too much at once it's tough to say I admire their ambition and willingness to take risks but part of me wonders if they're spreading themselves too thin too many projects not enough Focus maybe they've got a lot of talent and money but there's always a risk of taking on too much and not being able to execute effectively it's like juggling too many balls at once some are bound to drop right in the tech World focus is so important so maybe they'd be better off focusing on a few key areas and really dominating those it'll be interesting to see what they decide to do will they keep going with everything or will they narrow their focus the only time will hell but they're definitely a company to watch they're not afraid to shake things up so earlier you mentioned how xen's Innovations could address real world problems let's dig deeper into that starting with iron how realistic is it that humanoid robots could actually solve labor shortages the progress in robotics is really amazing robots are becoming much more capable every day it's not just about replacing humans in dangerous jobs anymore we're talking robots that could do much more complex tasks even ones that require some level of thinking and problem solving that's where AI becomes crucial as AI gets smarter it's enabling robots to learn adapt and do things we never thought possible okay let's say robots like iron become common in workplaces what are the good and bad things about that on the plus side robots could boost productivity a lot they don't need brakes they can work around the clock and they can be incredibly precise and consistent businesses could save money and get more done but we can't forget about the potential downsides like we talked about robots could replace human workers and that could cause job losses and economic problems and even if new jobs are created will those who lost their jobs be able to do those new jobs exactly we need to think about retraining programs for workers who are displaced by Automation and we also need to think about the effect on wages will human wages stay the same or go down if robots are doing more of the work it seems like incorporating robots into the workforce needs to be done carefully so that everyone benefits not just a select few I agree it's not just about the technology itself it's about using it to create a better future for all let's shift back to flying cars yeah if they become a reality how do you think they'll change cities in our lives well Transportation would be revolutionized no more sitting in traffic jams it'd be like having your own personal helicopter and it could open up new possibilities for urban planning we could build taller buildings and denser cities without worrying so much about traffic so flying cars could actually make cities more sustainable and livable possibly but there are downsides too remember like what noise pollution could be a big problem imagine constant noise from flying cars especially in residential areas and safety is another huge concern even with Advanced systems there's always a chance of accidents and if a flying car crashes in a crowded City it could be catastrophic it seems like there are so many things to consider the potential benefits the risks the impact on society there a lot to process it is but that's what makes these topics so fascinating we're talking about technologies that could completely change the world so where do we go from here what should people be thinking about as they try to imagine the future of all this I think staying informed is crucial keep up with the latest developments in AI Robotics and transportation try to understand how these things work and how they might affect you don't just accept information at face value question it exactly think critically ask yourself how will these Technologies affect my life my community the world as a whole and don't be afraid to share your thoughts talk to people about the ethical side of these Technologies we all have a role to play in shaping the future of technology it's good to remember that we have a say in this we're not just passive bystanders absolutely Okay so we've talked about the good and bad sides of humanoid robots and flying cars and we've discussed some of the bigger societal implications yeah it's been a good discussion but there's still more to unpack in the last of our deep dive we'll explore some of the ethical questions around these Innovations and we'll talk about what the future might hold for xping and the whole Tech World Okay so we've talked about all these individual pieces right labor Transportation cities but what's the big picture what kind of future is xang trying to create with all this well if you kind of step back and look at it all together it seems like they're imagining a world where technology is seamlessly woven into every part of our lives like a fully integrated AI power powered World exactly from our homes and workplaces to even like the sky above us it's both exciting and kind of scary right all that convenience and efficiency but then there's the question of control and unintended consequences exactly and that's what we need to be thinking about now before it's too late we need to figure out how to use these Technologies responsibly and ethically so we need to be having those tough conversations about things like data privacy algorithmic bias the potential for job losses and the environmental impact we need everyone at the table for those conversations not just tech people and politicians but also ethicists social scientists Community leaders Everyday People I totally agree the future of technology shouldn't be decided by a select few it should be shaped by all of us exactly the future isn't predetermined we can influence how things develop so what can we do as individuals to make sure technology is used for good and we create a future that works for everyone I think the most important thing is to St informed keep learning about these Technologies their potential benefits and their risks don't just take things at face value question everything right engage in critical thinking ask yourself how will this impact my life my community the world and don't be afraid to share your thoughts talk to people about the ethical implications of these Technologies we can all have a voice in shaping the Future Okay so let's bring it back to xang they're already a big deal in electric vehicles and they clearly want to be a major player in Ai and Robotics too do you think they can pull it off they definitely have the drive the resources and the Talent Plus they're in a country that's putting a lot of support behind Ai and Robotics so the conditions are right for them to succeed yeah but they're also up against some tough competition not just from other Chinese companies but from Global giants like Tesla and Google so it's a crowded field it is but xang has proven they can innovate and move quickly if they can keep that up and navigate all the ethical and Social Challenges that come with these Tech Technologies they have a real shot at becoming a leader in the tech world it's going to be fascinating to see what happens it definitely will they're a company that's not afraid to shake things up well that brings us to the end of our Deep dive into the world of xang we've covered a lot of ground today from humanoid robots and flying cars to the bigger questions about what kind of future we want to build we've talked about the potential benefits and risks the ethical considerations and the importance of staying informed and engaged we hope you found this deep Di thought-provoking and maybe even a little bit inspiring remember the future is being shaped right now and we all have a role to play in it so keep exploring keep questioning and keep Imagining the possibilities thanks for joining us thanks everyone all right buckle up for a deep dive and uh this one might sound a little explosive oh yeah we're going to be looking at a physicist and uh his proposal to combat climate change using a method you might not expect okay I'm intrigued lay it on me nuclear bombs wa okay that's that's definitely not what I was expecting yeah it's it's pretty wild and what we're looking at here is actually uh a transcript from a YouTube video where this physicist he lays out his whole idea oh interesting so is this like you know just some random internet Theory or no no no it's it's rooted in some actual science so don't worry about that okay good good to know yeah so walk us through this what what exactly is he proposing well he's suggesting detonating a massive nuclear B several kilomet below the ocean's surface specifically in an area that's rich in basol okay hold on hold on Basalt why Basalt and and how big are we talking when you say massive bomb all right well let's start with the bomb he's talking about an 81 gigaton bomb 81 gigatons that's yeah and to put that in perspective like one gigaton is equivalent to the energy released by a billion tons of TNT a billion tons of TNT yeah so this proposed bomb would be 1,000 times larger than the Zar bomba oh wow which was the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated and that was already 3,000 times more powerful than the hoshima bomb right and as for the balt well it's a type of volcanic rock and it naturally absorbs carbon dioxide so is the idea to use this massive explosion to basically pulverize the basalt and then create this huge amount of fine particles that would then absorb CO2 from the ocean exactly that's the gist of it so the explosion would create this well a massive amount of These Fine assault particles and they would spread throughout the ocean and they'd rapidly absorb CO2 from the water and then that would in turn because the ocean's constantly exchanging CO2 with the atmosphere that would then lead to a reduction in the atmosphere yeah that's a theory that's a pretty bold idea I mean detonating a nuclear bomb in the ocean it sounds like we're talking about a science fiction movie right it definitely has that kind of feel to it but is there any science to actually back this up well the science behind it centers on basalt's unique chemical structure okay balt can actually bind with CO2 molecules and effectively lock them away okay this process is known as carbon sequestration and it's actually been studied for years as a potential climate change solution oh so the physicist is essentially proposing a very very radical way to accelerate and enhance this natural process I see so he's not just pulling this out of thin air yeah there is some scientific basis to it yes even if the scale is is well pretty extreme definitely what kind of impact does he think this could have on climate change like what's he saying well he estimates that just this single detonation could offset 30 years worth of CO2 emissions 30 years and potentially even lower global temperatures by 1.5° C that's a significant claim yeah but I have to imagine there are some serious concerns with this approach absolutely there are a lot of potential risks and downsides to consider and we'll we'll definitely dive into those next yeah we have to that's a lot to unpack for sure okay so we've we've established that there is at least some scientific ground to this idea yeah but I think it's time to address the elephant in the room detonating a nuclear bomb right even for supposedly you know a good cause sounds incredibly risky oh absolutely you're right to be concerned there are a number of potential downsides that we really need to consider yeah like what well I think probably the most immediate concern is the impact on marine life I mean we're talking about a massive release of energy and a very delicate ecosystem the radioactive fallout alone could have well devastating and long- Lasting consequences yeah that's a huge concern and what about you know the potential for like other unintended consequences oh yeah could this like trigger underwater landslides or release other harmful substances from the seabed those are all you know valid questions and and things that we need to think about yeah the ocean floor contains vast reserves of methane which is a very potent greenhouse gas and so if this explosion were to disturb those reserves and release a large amount of methane into the atmosphere well it could actually make climate change worse wow and then there's also the potential impact on ocean currents and weather patterns I mean we just we simply don't know how such a large scale event would affect these complex systems yeah it seems like we'd be kind of opening a Pandora's box of potential problems it's possible yeah even if the basol did absorb you know a significant amount of CO2 right the collateral damage could be well catastrophic it's a delicate balance you know on one hand we're facing this climate crisis that really does demand some kind of bold action yeah but on the other hand we need to be incredibly cautious about unintended consequences especially when we're talking about something as potentially destructive as a nuclear weapon right right it's a tough call yeah and and what I find interesting is that this video doesn't just focus on this like nuclear option right it also explores this whole range of other climate change mitigation ideas some of which are well pretty out there yeah it definitely touches on some more unconventional Concepts shall we say like what well there's things like building giant chimneys to vet heat into space releasing warm air at high altitudes using balloons and even placing giant mirrors in space to reflect sunlight away from Earth giant chimney space mirrors it it it sounds like are we are we still talking about climate change here or are we talking about a science fiction novel well they they definitely sound like something out of Science Fiction but they are at least in theory based on some scientific principles okay so are they at least somewhat grounded in in reality then yeah so despite their kind of outlandish nature these ideas are you know grounded in scientific principles for example the concept of space Mar well that builds upon our understanding of solar radiation and its impact on Earth's climate Okay and the idea of releasing warm air at high altitudes what based on observations of how volcanic eruptions can temporarily cool the planet I see so they're not just you know random Flights of Fancy yeah there's at least some some thought behind them yeah but let's be realistic I mean even if these ideas are you know theoretically sound actually implementing them would be well a Monumental challenge absolutely I mean these solutions they would require massive resources technological innovation and perhaps most importantly Global cooperation on a scale that we've never seen before right yes I mean we're talking about projects that would require collaboration between nations Industries scientific communities across the globe and that as we all know can be well a major hurdle right we often struggle to to achieve Global consensus on even much simpler issues exactly and and this is where the video I think makes a really important Point what's that it argues that this lack of cooperation is arguably the biggest obstacle to addressing climate change even for seemingly simpler Solutions like phasing out fossil fuels so even if we had the technology and the resources to build giant space mirrors or launch fleets of hot air balloons right we might still be stuck because we can't you know get our together as a global Community that's a sobering thought isn't it yeah it is the video highlights the fact that we already have many of the tools and technologies that we need to start mitigating climate change but we're often hampered by well political inertia vested interests a lack of shared urgency it's it's frustrating to think that we have the potential to solve this problem but we're you know tripping over our own feet it really is it's like knowing the answer to a test question yeah but being unable to write it down to cuz your pencil's broken it's a Perfect Analogy yeah the video really serves as a reminder that addressing climate change requires not just technological solutions but also a fundamental shift in our thinking okay it requires a recognition that this isn't just an environmental problem yeah it's a social economic and political challenge that Demands a coordinated Global Response so where do we go from here yeah this video presents a lot of interesting ideas it does but also highlights these just immense challenges that we face what what's the takeaway message for our listeners yeah so it feels like we we've gone from this like potential solution to this whole bunch of problems and now we're just stuck in this cycle of like you know knowing what needs to be done but not being able to do it yeah it's it's definitely complex but I don't I don't think this video is meant to like discourage us you know it's more of a call to action I think to you know like think critically about the the barriers to progress and how we might be able to overcome them so it's it's not just about the technology right it's about the human element yeah our ability to work together share resources you know make difficult choices for the greater good exactly it's about fostering the sense of shared responsibility we we all share this planet and climate change is an issue that affects every single one of us you know thinking back to to all the ideas presented in this video the nuclear option the giant chimney space even just phasing out fossil fuels right it's clear that none of these are simple fixes no they're not each solution has its own set of trade-offs and uncertainties potential drawbacks what might work in one part of the world could have unintended consequences in another yeah and there's always the risk of you know unforeseen challenges that could arise along the way so what's the answer if there's no single Magic Bullet how do we even begin to address this problem effectively well I I think the first step is just recognizing that there's no single answer okay it's going to require a a multifaceted approach a combination of strategies that are tailored to specific regions and circumstances so like a mix of technological innovation policy changes individual actions International cooperation exactly it's about finding a balance between mitigating the impacts of climate change that are already happening adapting to the changes that we can't prevent right and crucially transitioning to you know more sustainable ways of living and doing business it's it's a daunting task it is but it's also an opportunity an opportunity to rethink our relationship with the planet to innovate and create a future that's that's both sustainable and prosperous and it's it's important to remember that even seemingly small actions can have a ripple effect producing our own carbon footprint supporting sustainable businesses engaging in in constructive dial about climate change these are all steps in the right direction it's a reminder that we're not powerless in the face of this challenge no not we all have a role to play yes we do and and Collective action however small right can create meaningful change absolutely and and you know even though we we took this wild ride through a YouTube transcript yeah the concept of using a nuclear bomb to combat climate change was based on you know real scientific study yeah it goes to show that even unconventional ideas can spark important conversations right push us to think outside the box so to our listener we encourage you to explore this topic further yeah do your own research talk to others yeah and and most importantly right keep asking questions right because ultimately the solutions to climate change will emerge not from any one person or idea but from a collective effort to understand the problem explore possibilities right and work together to create a better future that's a great point to end on yeah we hope this deep dive has been informative and thought-provoking for you yeah and until next time keep diving deep and keep those brains buzzing all right everyone buckle up because today we're diving deep into some pretty mind-blowing predictions about the future of AI and our guide is none other than Jensen hang CEO of Nvidia you might know them as the folks who make those powerful graphics cards that make our games look amazing but there're also major players in the world of AI and hang recently laid out his vision at the AI Summit in India we're going to be pulling some key insights from a fantastic summary video by AI upload on YouTube seriously they do a great job breaking down complex AI stuff in a way that's easy to grasp oh absolutely AI upload is one of my go-to channels for staying up to date and this particular presentation by Jensen hang is packed with thought-provoking stuff right so we're talking about some pretty big shifts here like the end of Moors law as we know it and the rise of something called software 2.0 where AI basically starts writing own code and get this he even predicts we'll be working alongside AI agents like there are colleagues super employees he calls them it's definitely a future that Sparks the imagination one of the first things Hong addresses is this idea of computing inflation which is tied to those limitations of Moore's Law yeah that one definitely caught my attention too it sounds kind of ominous like our devices might suddenly become super expensive just to run what's the deal with that well Moore's Law essentially states that the number of transistors we can fit on a microchip it doubles roughly every two years this has been the driving force behind the incredible advancements and computing power we've seen for decades it's why our phones today are more powerful than the supercomputers of the past but it sounds like this incredible run is hitting a wall right hang argues we're reaching the physical limits of this trend we're getting to a point where we can't just keep cramming more transistors onto chips so it's like we're hitting a wall in terms of how much faster and more powerful we can make things using that traditional approach exactly but doesn't that mean progress will slow down if we can't keep making our chips more powerful that's a valid concern and that's why hang believes we need a new approach and that's where nvidia's focus on gpus and accelerated Computing comes in ah gpus those things that make our games look awesome but how do they solve this Computing inflation problem is a fascinating parallel actually think back to how Nvidia revolutionized computer graphics with their gpus CPUs which are the brains of most computers are like generalists they can do a lot of things but maybe not the best at any one specific thing exactly they can handle many different tasks but aren't necessarily the best at any one thing gpus on the other hand are Specialists they're designed for parallel processing which is perfect for the kind of complex computations needed for things like well obviously uh high-end Graphics yeah but also artificial intelligence so instead of trying to squeeze more power out of traditional CPUs we're shifting towards this specialized Hardware like gpus to handle the heavy lifting that AI requires right it's like using the right tool for the job I guess exactly and this shift is what underlies hang's concept of software 2.0 which is as you mentioned where AI starts to take over some of the roles traditionally held by human programmers okay now this is where it starts to feel like we're stepping into a sci-fi movie AI writing code how does that even work think about traditional software development what calls software 1.0 it's all about human programmers writing very specific instructions for computers to follow line by line it's very meticulous yeah if you miss a step the whole thing could fall apart that's a great analogy but with software 2.0 things are different instead
of painstakingly writing out every instruction we feed massive amounts of data into machine learning algorithms oh interesting the AI then analyzes this data learns from it and starts to write its own code based on the patterns and relationships it discovers it's less about following a blueprint and more about learning by example so instead of telling the computer exactly what to do step by step we're giving it the building blocks and letting it figure out how to build the house itself that's pretty mind-blowing it is and it has huge implications for the speed and efficiency of software development Hong even uses the example of translating languages in the past you would need programmers to create complex sets of rules for grammar and vocabulary right but with software 2.0 you can simply feed the AI tons of text in both languages and it will figure out the translation rules on its own wow so it's not just about AI writing code it's about AI solving problems in ways we may not have even thought of before exactly this software 2.0 approach is being used for everything from image recognition to drug Discovery Hong even mentions a Cambrian explosion of AI startups using these methods hold on camran explosion you're going to have to explain that one I'm not a geologist you're right let me clarify the caman explosion was a period in Earth's history where we saw a sudden burst of new and diverse life forms Quang is using this analogy to describe the rapid emergence of AI startups that are leveraging these new AI powered software development techniques I see it's like a whole new wave of innovation is being unlocked so we've got faster Hardware with gpus and AI That's starting to write its own code where do we go from here what's the next big leap well according to hang it's the rise of AI agents and this is where things get really interesting AI agents he calls them super employees which definitely grabs my attention tell me more what are these AI agents and what will they be doing picture this like AI isn't just working behind the scenes crunching numbers it's actively working longside us you know like carrying out tasks even making decisions that's the vision hang is painting with these AI agents so these aren't just like lines of code they're like digital workers are we talking well I have an AI assistant helping me write emails think bigger than that yeah AI assistant will definitely keep evolving for sure but Juan's talking about AI agents that can handle way more complex stuff specialized tasks like imagine an AI agent managing a whole supply chain for a company or optimizing energy consumption for a city or even assisting doctors with diagnoses and treatment plans okay now that's some serious Next Level stuff but how do you even train these agents for those kinds of jobs it's not like we can send them to college right that's where the parallels to human employees get really interesting hang talks about an agent life cycle uh it mirrors how we onboard new employees you know okay it starts with training you feed the agent a ton of data whatever is relevant to its task right then there's fine-tuning you test it adjust it make sure it's performing well efficiently so like giving them on the job training but in the virtual world exactly and just like with human employees you got to evaluate their performance right make sure they're meeting expectations hang also talks about setting guard rails basically ethical guidelines yeah say protocols so the AI agent operates within acceptable parameters it sounds like we're really treating these AI agents like part of the team almost do we need to start thinking about performance reviews for our AI colleagues maybe even team building exercises it's funny you should mention that because hang actually talks about nvidia's platform called Nemo it's designed to help companies create manage and even onboard these AI agents Nemo like finding AI agents I love it but seriously this is is all happening so fast is this something we'll be seeing in the workplace in the next few years or is this more of a long-term thing it's already happening in some Industries for sure but I think widespread adoption that'll take some time there's still a lot of Technical and ethical things to work out but the potential is definitely there and it's not just about AI agents operating in the digital world hang believes they'll have a huge role in Bridging the Gap between the digital and physical worlds hold on Bridging the Gap what does that even mean are we talking about robots robots are part of it yeah but it's a much bigger concept think about it right now most AI exists in the digital world but our real world it revolves around physical things building manufacturing interacting with our environment quang's talking about bringing those two worlds together okay I'm starting to see where this is going so it's about AI not just understanding data but actually interacting with the physical world around it having an impact on it exactly and Wong sees this as a critical step in revolutionizing industry manufacturing healthare even Transportation he talks about three types of computers inid is developing to make this happen dgx Omniverse and Jetson agx three different types that sounds complicated what's the difference between them think of it this way dgx systems those are the heavy lifters they do the intense training of AI models remember all that data we talked about feeding into the AI right yeah that's where dgs comes in it crunches massive data sets to build those powerful AI agents we talked about so dgx is like the AI gym where the agents get their brains built up my great analogy then there's Omniverse it's a platform for simulation and collaboration this is where Juan's idea of digital twins comes into play okay digital twins now this is where things start to sound like a scifi movie break that down for me imagine creating a perfect virtual replica of a physical object or even an entire environment like you could have a digital twin of a factory a city even a human body so it's like a virtual mirror of the real world but we can manipulate it experiment with it without any real world consequences exactly and this is where training AI agents gets even more sophisticated we can use these digital twins to run simulations test different scenarios even let the AI agent make mistakes and learn from them without causing any real world damage so it's like giving the AI agents a safe space to practice their skills before we send them out into the real world precisely and once they've honed their skills in the Omniverse they're ready for the real world and that's where Jetson agx comes in okay so Jetson agx is like the field agent of this whole physical AI world you got it it's a compact platform but powerful designed to be embedded in robots autonomous vehicles drones anything that needs to operate intelligently in the physical world so dgx for training Omniverse for simulation and Jetson agx for real world deployment it's a whole ecosystem for physical AI designed to bridge that gap between the digital and the physical it is and that brings us to the question of how all of this impacts us the human workers what happens to our jobs in a world with all these superpowered AI agents and robots doing amazing things yeah that's what I was thinking it all sounds incredibly futuristic and exciting but if I'm being honest it's a little bit scary too are we all going to be replaced by robots I think that's a question a lot of people are asking right now it's like the big elephant in the room when we talk about AI it is it's a valid concern so what does Hong have to say about that well he addresses it headon which I appreciate he doesn't see this as a robot's takeover scenario where humans become obsolete okay that's reassuring at least yeah instead he believes that physical AI especially robots they'll actually augment human capabilities not replace them so it's more about collaboration than competition exactly think of it like this AI handles the dangerous stuff the repetitive tasks the physically demanding things that you know maybe we don't love doing right that frees us up it frees up humans to focus on more creative work strategic work specialized stuff so instead of worrying about robots taking our jobs maybe we should be thinking about them as freeing us up freeing us up to do more meaningful work more fulfilling work I think that's a great way to look at it what kind of new opportunities could come from this shift oh man that's the exciting part imagine what we could achieve if we weren't bogged down by those tedious tasks we could see a c surge in entrepreneurship artistic expression scientific breakthroughs the possibilities are huge it's like AI handles all the heavy lifting in a factory literally and human workers can focus on the quality control problem solving you know the stuff that needs human Ingenuity expertise that's the idea and it's not just about new jobs emerging it's about redefining what work even means maybe work won't be tied to a 9 to5 schedule anymore or specific tasks maybe it'll become more about leveraging ouri unque human skills our creativity our problem solving abilities exactly to create value however that looks in the future it's like AI takes care of the routine and the mundane and we get to focus on what makes us uniquely human yeah and that actually raises a really interesting question if AI can handle those tedious dangerous things what are those uniquely human qualities that become even more valuable in this AI powered future ooh I like that you're turning it back on us on the listener it's something to think about it definitely is we covered a lot in this deep dive from Mo's law to software 2.0 AI agents this whole idea of physical AI Bridging the Gap between the digital and physical worlds yeah it's a lot to take in but it's exciting it paints a really interesting picture of what the future could hold and it's a future that's being shaped right now it's up to all of us to engage with these advancements thoughtfully ethically and with a sense of wonder I love that a sense of wondering because this stuff is truly amazing well said so to our listeners keep exploring keep questioning and keep your minds open to the incredible possibilities this AI powered future holds until next time everyone hey everyone welcome back today we're diving into no code AI app development tools oh exciting yeah you know for building apps and maybe even letting AI do the coding right right which is uh pretty wild when you think about it we're going to be looking at a YouTube video review called um oh which one I tested no code AI app makers and found the best I think I've seen that one yeah it's from the channel creator magic and they actually test out they test out building real apps with these tools so oh that's cool so you can actually see them in action yeah you can actually see how they work and we'll get to the winner later but first up is wind surf this one's interesting because it has this AI powered code editor called Cascade Cascade yeah that sounds pretty powerful I know right right like you literally tell the AI in plain English what you want the app to do and it writes the code for you but it doesn't just write the code it can it can what it can actually execute commands directly like imagine not having to install packages or set up environments manually that's yeah that would be that's that'd be a GameChanger yeah that would be huge but I'm curious like how how does that even work what's the magic behind Cascade well I imagine it's using some pretty Advanced natural language processing to you know right understand what you're saying and then translate that into code and then it probably uses apis to actually interface with all the different software tools and and execute those commands that makes sense so in the video the reviewer tries to build a classic arcanoid game using Cascade and the results are pretty amazing like they give Cascade this detailed prompt describing everything about the game and it it creates a fully functional game writes a readme file explains how to set it up how to play it and it even sets up a virtual environment oh a virtual environment which I guess I should probably explain that yeah for those who don't know a virtual environment is like a a separate space on your computer where you can run the game without it messing with your main system files EXA like a Sandbox yeah like a Sandbox so it's good for um like managing dependencies and keeping things organized you know so that was really impressive but here's where it gets a little little creepy oh creepy what happened the reviewer mentioned that Cascade like trying to run some commands on their computer outside of the virtual environment oh that's not good yeah so like security wise that's kind of scary yeah it makes you wonder how much control you really have right like it's convenient but if you don't know what it's doing in the background it could uh it could do some damage it could do some damage yeah so what happened when they tried to build a more complex app with wind surf like a notion clone oh interesting for managing YouTube videos Okay so a little bit more advanced yeah so things didn't go quite as smoothly this time oh no um it built a functional app but it wasn't as Nic looking or interactive as uh as the version built with lovable oh we'll have to get into lovable yeah we'll talk about lovable next but it seems like wind surf's power comes with some trade-offs yeah definitely but I'm still curious about the UI design aspect did the reviewer oh yeah that's a good point did they talk about that at all unfortunately the video didn't really dive deep into wind surf's UI capabilities they focus more on the um AI code generation and command execution stuff makes sense maybe there's more info on their website yeah we might have to do some more digging there okay so let's move on to lovable okay lovable now this one's really interesting because they straight up say no code is the future like they believe you'll be able to build anything wow that's bold I know just using English no coding required that's ambitious yeah it is it is and they just relaunched with a whole new interface and features they're really you know putting their money where their mouth is yeah they're going all in yeah and they take on the same arcanoid game challenge as wind serf and the cool thing is the whole building process happens right in your browser oh wow that's convenient yeah it's super convenient and the reviewer was really impressed with lovable speed oh so it's fast like the game was up and running in no time okay but it seems like that speed might have come at the expense of quality oh how so the reviewer mentioned that the arcanoid game was a bit glitchy and not as playable as wind surf's version so it's like maybe a rough draft kind of thing yeah maybe they need to polish it up a bit but lovable does have another trick up its sleeve what's that seamless integration with super base super base what is that super base is a backend database platform so it handles all that like behind the scenes data management stuff for your app like user accounts data storage all that exactly yeah and it's supped must be super easy to use with lovable which is really cool so you don't have to be a backend expert to use it yeah exactly and to test this out the reviewer had lovable create that same notion clone for managing YouTube videos and the result was visually stunning like beautiful interface working search functionality the whole nine yards so Lille seems to excel at the design aspect yeah definitely but here's the catch oh there's a catch to unlock the full potential of the super integration you have to upgrade to a paid plan oh so the reviewer couldn't fully explore that oh that's too bad it sounded promising it did it did so we've seen the AI powered code generation of winds surf the speed and design of lovable but now it's time for the final Contender the final Contender which the video calls the old favorite okay I'm intrigued cursor curser okay yeah I'm curious to see how it holds up against these new AI powered tools yeah me too let's see how it Stacks up so how does cursor handle the arcanoid challenge yeah I'm curious to see if it can keep up with the uh the speed and visual flare of lovable well the reviewer puts it through its paces and as you might expect cursor builds a functional game no problem it might not have all the bells and whistles like lovables version but it gets the job done so it's more about practicality than flash exactly and that seems to be cursor strength overall like reliability yeah that's important especially if you're looking for a tool you can depend on for sure the reviewer even said it was super straightforward to use no no messing around with virtual environments oh that's good to hear or those potentially risky commands yeah definitely a plus it just works it just works that's what you want I know right but how does it handle a more complex app like the notion clone yeah that's the real test especially with the database integration right well get this cursor's notion clone wasn't just functional okay it was actually interactive and easy to edit wow so it really held its own yeah the reviewer was impressed with how smoothly it handled updates and modifications sounds like it's pretty versatile tool it does so after all that testing which tool came out on top all right drum roll please the winner is cursor cursor wow I honestly didn't see that coming I know right you'd think one of the newer AI heavy tools would have won yeah with all those fancy features and promises but the reviewer ultimately chose cursor for for its balance of AI assistance and user control makes sense we talked about how important that balanc
