The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing at a breakneck pace, with new breakthroughs and innovations being announced almost every week. However, some weeks are more eventful than others, and the past week has been one of the most significant in recent memory. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the most important developments in AI from the past week.
GPT-3’s successor
OpenAI, one of the leading AI research organizations, announced that they are working on a successor to their groundbreaking language model, GPT-3. GPT-3 is already one of the most advanced AI systems in the world, capable of writing articles, composing poetry, and even coding programs. Its successor, known as GPT-4, promises to be even more powerful and versatile, with the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries.
New AI chip from Intel
Intel, one of the largest chipmakers in the world, unveiled a new AI chip called Ponte Vecchio. The chip is designed to handle the complex computations required for AI and machine learning, and it promises to be one of the most powerful AI chips on the market. Intel hopes that Ponte Vecchio will help them compete with other chipmakers like Nvidia, which currently dominates the AI chip market.
AI-powered healthcare
AI is already being used in healthcare to diagnose diseases, develop new treatments, and improve patient outcomes. However, the past week saw several new developments in this area. For example, researchers at Stanford University developed an AI system that can predict whether a COVID-19 patient will require intensive care, based on data from their medical records. Meanwhile, Google Health announced that they are developing an AI system that can help doctors detect breast cancer more accurately and quickly.
AI in space exploration
AI is also being used to explore the universe, with several new developments in this area over the past week. NASA announced that they are using AI to help design a new spacecraft that will be able to explore the outer planets more effectively. Meanwhile, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, used AI to analyze data from the Kepler telescope and discovered a new exoplanet that had previously been overlooked.
These are just a few examples of the many exciting developments in AI that took place over the past week. From healthcare to space exploration, AI is transforming our world in countless ways. As technology continues to advance, it’s clear that we can expect even more exciting breakthroughs in the near future.
Here is our FAQ on NEM3, which outlines the deadlines we discussed
To be eligible for NEM2 and get locked into that program for 20 years, a complete and correct interconnection application must be submitted to your utility by April 14th:
A signed contract with a solar provider
A single-line diagram
A complete California Contractors State License Board Solar
Energy System Disclosure Document
A signed California Solar Consumer Protection Guide
An oversizing attestation (if applicable)
Construction does not need to be complete by April 14th.
Here is the information related to the HOA:
Solar Rights Act, specifically section 65850.5(a) and (b) of the Government Code:
“65850.5. (a) The implementation of consistent statewide standards to achieve the timely and cost-effective installation of solar energy systems is not a municipal affair, as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution, but is instead a matter of statewide concern. It is the intent of the Legislature that local agencies not adopt ordinances that create unreasonable barriers to the installation of solar energy systems, including, but not limited to, design review for aesthetic purposes, and not unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners and agricultural and business concerns to install solar energy systems. It is the policy of the state to promote and encourage the use of solar energy systems and to limit obstacles to their use. It is the intent of the Legislature that local agencies comply not only with the language of this section, but also the legislative intent to encourage the installation of solar energy systems by removing obstacles to, and minimizing costs of, permitting for such systems.
(b) A city or county shall administratively approve applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit. Review of the application to install a solar energy system shall be limited to the building official’s review of whether it meets all health and safety requirements of local, state, and federal law. The requirements of local law shall be limited to those standards and regulations necessary to ensure that the solar energy system will not have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety. However, if the building official of the city or county makes a finding, based on substantial evidence, that the solar energy system could have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety, the city or county may require the applicant to apply for a use permit.”
For solar on your apartment building:
Please note that the same rules would apply related to the April 14th deadline, and this is where that oversizing attestation would come in.
If you could ask your City Council to apply for the grant to comply with the Solar Access Act (SB 379) and make it faster and easier to go solar, that would be great!
You also mentioned your work in this field, and I’m wondering if your organization would be willing to sign on to the coalition letter for streamlined permitting? Nearly 50 diverse groups have already
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — MSBAI, an Air Force Techstars 2020 company, and partners Georgia Tech and the University of Central Florida, have been awarded a SpaceWERX Orbital Prime Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 contract to adapt the GURU ‘Universal Interface for Simulation’ to revolutionize In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) missions.
On Monday 9/03/2022 the IT benefit package for the Company Angel Sharks Benefit Corp was extended to the end of 2026. this should give Angel Sharks a long runway to create a Sustainable Future with their new Carbon Removal process from our Oceans and sequestering in Carbon Negative Concrete. Sea Shells, like those harvested from Shellfish farming, currently remove Carbon with true Biomineralization and combine with Calcium to make a hard Sea Shell. the Sea Shell was once processed replacing expensive and polluting Lime stone facking now used by the Cement industry to make Expensive fossil fuel-derived Concrete. Calcium Carbonate is what is fracked out of limestone when it’s superheated by burning fossil fuels. The Calcium Carbonate from Shellfish can be recovered for use in a truly Carbon negative and stronger concrete formula at a much cheaper cost. The added benefit to mankind is that it creates more sustainable food replacing the need for more Grazing land and Animals raised for food. for these reasons, we entended our It grant to them.
Angel Sharks plans on Sequesterinbg over 12,000 metric tonnes of Carbon from the removal of Sea Shells and processing them into Carbon Negative concrete. Angel Sharks uses an AI material Science simulation to come up with new Structurally stable Concrete formulas. http://angelsharks.net/
101 Incubator IT grants allow startups to prosper and work out the bugs without spending hard cash on IT web hosting Domain name registration Cloud and Fog AI systems.
Our Two IT Grant recipients for January 2022 are Renewed and extended because of the last two years of COVID-19 This will also free them both up to continue with the XPRIZE CARBON REMOVAL challenge. Grants are now extending out to January 2025 for Both.
Expect to see Great things as Both are working on creating a Sustainable Future for our Planet.

Thousand Oaks, CA – Hago Energetics Inc., a startup company focused on tackling climate change through various avenues, announced today it has been declared one of 3 winners in the $1M NASA CO2 Conversion Challenge. This Challenge is a competition to convert carbon dioxide into sugars as a step to creating mission-critical resources on Mars. Such technologies would allow future inhabitants of Mars to manufacture products using local, indigenous resources on Mars by using atmospheric carbon dioxide and water as resources. Hago Energetics was selected among a large group of entrants in this contest and successfully demonstrated the Challenge requirements. The CO2 Conversion Challenge Award Ceremony was live-streamed on NASA Channels earlier today. https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/centennial_challenges/co2challenge/index.html
