Hello friends, this is Kik, and in today's episode, you will meet an AI of special purpose from China that will replace the commanders in the future. GPT-4, which has passed the Turing test for the first time. The X2 air taxi tested over Beijing. SpaceX presented the budget satellite antenna Starlink Mini. New trials of the underwater drone Manta Ray by Northrop Grumman. Musk working on the fourth master plan for Tesla and NASA, which postponed the landing of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft for another four days without explanation. All this and much more right now. Let's go. Let's start today's episode from the celestial empire, where they have developed an AI commander capable of leading the troops of the People's Liberation Army of China in large-scale, albeit computer simulations. The AI commander is the sole decision-making core for the entire operation, possessing full responsibility and authority. This is the highest of the openly declared roles of artificial intelligence.

In military research, scientists have stated that in comparison, the AI of the US army serves only as a virtual commander's headquarters, providing decision-making support. The AI commander is programmed as an experienced strategist, possessing sound judgment, a balanced and firm character. He is capable of calmly analyzing and evaluating the situation, not subject to emotions or impulsive decisions, and quickly develops tactical and strategic plans based on the experience of similar situations from the past. Scientists have also added a trait to their military AI model, forgetfulness, to bring simulations as close as possible to real combat actions under the leadership of human commanders. Forgetfulness is implemented through a limitation on the size of the knowledge base used by the AI commander for decision-making. When memory reaches its limit, some

Some knowledge is being deleted. The AI commander allows for a large number of military simulations to be carried out without human intervention. It identifies new threats, develops plans, and makes optimal decisions based on the overall situation when battles do not go as planned or results do not meet expectations. It also learns and adapts based on victories and defeats. This method has many advantages - ease of implementation, high efficiency, and support for repeated experiments. Researchers from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers decided to conduct the Turing test for AI models to determine if people can distinguish between a human and artificial intelligence in a conversation. The Turing test, first proposed in 1950 by the scientist Alan Turing, evaluates how well a machine's ability to display intelligence is indistinguishable from human intelligence. To pass the test.

The Turing test, a system must be able to converse with a person and make them believe that they are communicating with someone similar to themselves. During the experiment, 500 people interacted with four interlocutors: a human, the artificial intelligence program ELIZA from the 1960s, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4. The conversations lasted five minutes, after which the participants had to determine whether they were talking to a human or an AI. Participants considered GPT-4 to be human in 54% of cases. ELIZA, a system pre-programmed with responses but lacking a large language model or neural network architecture, was recognized as human only in 22% of cases. GPT-3.5 scored 50%, and the human participant - 67%. As machine researchers say, machines, like humans, can come up with plausible justifications post hoc. They can be subject to cognitive biases, can be manipulated, and they become all.

More deceptive. All these factors lead to human weaknesses and quirks manifesting in AI systems. This makes them more human-like than previous developments, which only had a set of pre-prepared answers. Scientists also argue that there are valid critical comments regarding the Turing test, which is too simplistic. According to them, stylistic and socio-emotional factors play a more important role in passing the Turing test than traditional notions of intelligence. Moving on. The flying car developed by AeroHT, a subsidiary of the Chinese company Xpeng, made its first flight in Beijing. The X2 was demonstrated in the area of Daxing International Airport in Beijing during the Chinese International Economic and Trade Fair.

Fairs. The price of the low-altitude research aircraft AeroHT is not disclosed yet. In May, the X2 rose into the air in Shenzhen to a height of 30 meters and was fully controlled in autonomous mode. This demonstration flight was preceded by a series of successful X2 tests in various conditions, including deserts, rivers, and coastal areas. The first flight of X2 took place in the capital of China after the city authorities announced plans to establish by 2027 three main air routes for low-flying vehicles. The plans involve the use of flying cars for purposes such as emergency rescue operations, logistics, delivery, tourism, passenger transport, and much more. The fifth-generation flying car, which made its first international flight in Dubai in 2022, does not emit carbon dioxide. It is claimed that

This is a step forward in the pursuit of creating environmentally friendly urban transportation. In the spring of this year, the military-industrial corporation Northrop Grumman presented a prototype of an underwater unmanned vehicle for long missions, Manta Ray, or Stingray colloquially. The appearance of the Stingray prototype marked the culmination of four years of work on a secret project, commissioned by DARPA. Its goal is to develop a very large autonomous underwater vehicle capable of carrying out long-range combat missions without human supervision. As a result, a prototype of a vessel was created that can only be launched from a pier, not from the side of a submarine or ship. The hydrodynamic shape of the hull, truly resembling a manta ray, and the propulsion system borrowed from a glider, allow it to smoothly ascend to the surface and descend again. For propulsion,

Two four-blade propellers are mounted on the ends of the wings. In addition, they showed us how maneuverable the underwater vessel is and confirmed that it can descend to the bottom and enter a dormant mode to save energy. SpaceX showcased the new budget-friendly Starlink Mini antenna, which will be available for sale in a few months. On the other hand, Dark Systems presented a new version of the DarkFighter K9 GEN4 helmet designed for dogs. The model provides protection functions and allows the pet owner to attach necessary equipment. GEN4 is a rubber helmet with wide goggles for better visibility and eye protection. This is not the first helmet designed for dogs, but the advantage of DarkFighter K9 GEN4 is its modular design, lightweight, and compatibility with previous systems. The housing is equipped with mounts for attaching flashlights.

Speakers and other gadgets can be installed here. You can also set up a system to protect against loud noises or a muzzle. The company also offers mounts for radios. Meanwhile, SpaceX has revealed the look of the new budget-friendly Starlink Mini antenna, which will be available for sale in a few months. Elon Musk announced that he is already using the new device. He mentioned that it took less than 5 minutes to install the antenna and that it can be easily carried in a backpack. Musk believes that this product can change the world by providing access to high-speed internet anywhere. Additionally, Musk stated that the Starlink Mini will cost around $250-300, which is approximately half the price of the standard antenna sold in the USA for $499 after a recent price drop of $100. As for performance, Musk shared speed test results showing that the Starlink Mini provides a download speed of 100 Mbps and an upload speed

11.5 Mbps with a delay of 23 milliseconds. 
The new antenna will be slower compared to the base model, but this speed will be sufficient for most everyday tasks, including streaming 4K video. SpaceX plans to release the Starlink Mini in separate regions of the world in a few months. Musk noted that the Mini could be an excellent budget option for backup internet connection in case of issues with the main line. And since we started talking about Elon, let's continue with him. Musk stated that he is working on the fourth master plan for Tesla. And he promises that it will be epic. The first and second master plans of Tesla laid the foundation for achieving important company goals. In 2006, Musk published the first master plan, which included creating a sports car, using the proceeds from its sales to develop more affordable models, and implementing emission-free energy sources. These goals were achieved through the Roadster models, Model S.

And Model 3. The second master plan was presented in 2016. It coincided with the launch of Model 3 and the acquisition of Solar City. The plan included the integration of energy storage systems with solar panels and the development of autonomous driving technologies. It also involved the creation of new models, such as Cybertruck, Model Y, and Tesla Semi. The third master plan, published last year, differed from the previous ones. Instead of specific products, it focused on transitioning the global economy to sustainable development through electric vehicles and renewable energy. However, some points of this plan, such as the development of an affordable Tesla model for $25,000, have been postponed indefinitely. Experts believe that the fourth master plan will focus on autonomous driving and robotics. This is supported by Tesla's recent actions aimed at transitioning to AI technologies.

And what is Kick without space? NASA announced that the experimental spacecraft Boeing Starliner with two astronauts onboard will begin its descent to Earth only on June 22 - four days later than the previously planned date. The reasons for the new postponement of the landing date are not disclosed. Details and weather forecast will be announced at a briefing on Tuesday. Boeing is pleased with the new delay - it will allow to learn more about the spacecraft in the mode of docking with the ISS. Whatever the Boeing representative says, the supplies of helium on the Starliner are limited. Helium is used to operate the spacecraft's propulsion system. When it runs out, which will happen no later than mid-July, the spacecraft will no longer be able to fly anywhere. This means that the docking port will need to be vacated much earlier with a reserve of time for various emergency situations. And there are plenty of them on the first manned Starliner mission.
