 Alex Koyfman / Apr 04, 2023 Frightened Elon Urges Pause on AI Development Dear Reader, Last week, in an open letter published by the Future of Life Institute, Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang, and hundreds of other notable individuals from within the tech industry and academia called for a six-month pause on AI development. They stated the repercussions of not doing so could present "profound risks to society and humanity." The first paragraph of the letter, quoted below, sets a dark and unambiguous tone: AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research and acknowledged by top AI labs. As stated in the widely endorsed Asilomar AI Principles, Advanced AI could represent a profound change in the history of life on Earth, and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care and resources. Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening, even though recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one â not even their creators â can understand, predict, or reliably control. Within three days of its publication, more than 50,000 other signatures had joined the initial signatories as the story went viral online. [Future of Life tweet] In those three days, Iâve read a number of articles responding to this letter, and among the more popular opinions is that Musk and his cohorts arenât going nearly far enough. Tesla Is Dead... Elon Musk Is Ruined Thanks to a new discovery â known as âBlue Gasâ â electric car companies like Tesla are about to go down in flames. âBlue Gasâ is 100% emission-free, can propel vehicles hundreds of miles, and allows cars to fully charge in just minutes. And the tiny company behind it is primed to absolutely shatter any gains ever paid out by Tesla. [Click here before this stock explodes in the coming months.]( This Isn't Skynet... Yet Not so long ago, opinions like these would have been called alarmist or perhaps even childish â the product of not enough legitimate knowledge and maybe a bit too much science fiction. Today, however, there are few experts in the field who donât find the exponential growth in AI capabilities at least somewhat troubling. Even the CEO of OpenAI, parent company of the now famous ChatGPT, claims to be a bit scared himself. "We've got to be careful here," he said in an interview with ABC last month. "I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this." Most people, however, simply donât know enough about the topic to formulate anything approaching an informed opinion. Even if youâve seen and used ChatGPT and marveled at how quickly and coherently it can compose college-level essays, have you truly come to appreciate the power of modern AI? Let me give you an example you may not be familiar with. The Big Changes Will Be the Ones You Least Notice A company operating out of Calgary, Alberta, has invented a technology designed to optimize the performance of electric motors. In a recent demonstration, it took one of its patented devices and bolted it onto an electric motorcycle â the XP Zero sport bike. [xpzero] The device, which uses artificial intelligence to very precisely regulate the flow of charge within the electric motorâs inner coil, immediately put the already impressive XP Zero into a whole new performance category. After the install, the XP Zero showed a 14% increase in top speed, a 20% increase in torque, and a 29% increase in horsepower. Mind you, this is without any increase in power input from the motorcycle's onboard battery pack, which means the bike's effective range increased right along with the power ratings. But thatâs not all. Because the coil also produced less resistance and therefore less heat, over time the technology would have increased the motor's service life span as well. Thatâs more power, increased range, and increased longevity⦠Can that even be possible? Does that even comport with the laws of thermodynamics? $6 Billion in Funding Going to a Single Company? Biden has been dishing out funding as if these are his last days on Earth. Heâs handed out more than $2 trillion in funding during his first few years in office. One of his biggest goals is to develop the future of energy. Shockingly, it has nothing to do with fossil fuels OR renewables. A full $6 billion is headed to an industry dominated by one tiny Virginia-based company. A few critical patent approvals means very few others are on the shortlist. And early investors in this game-changing technology could reap a massive windfall. [You need to immediately check this one out for yourself.]( Too Good to Be True? Not Really The answer, of course, is yes. The reason this device can squeeze so much power out of an electric motor is that electric motors have plenty of inefficiency-causing imperfections to begin with, so the task of improving one wasnât anything that modern AI couldnât tackle. All in a day's work for modern artificial intelligence, but implications for the electric vehicle industry are fairly monumental. Maybe Elonâs fear of AI wasnât quite as global as he wanted you to think. Maybe he had his own best interests in mind when he signed that open letter. The point is AIâs potential goes far, far beyond what you read in the mainstream media. Never mind the cool toys and fancy research tools. As this electric motor optimization technology demonstrates, the power of AI to change our world at ground level is profound. The Coming AI Boom Will Make Dot-Com Look Like a Blip on the Radar The company behind it, in case you were wondering, remains largely unknown today, but thatâs all going to change very soon, regardless of how many signatures Elonâs open letter pulls in. Its tech has already found its way into electric bikes and electric boats, and very soon â very likely before the end of this year â it will start to appear in electric cars as well. For EV makers, the choice will be pretty simple going forward: Either license the technology or fall out of the picture. It's as basic as that. Thereâs just no way you can argue with free horsepower and torque. The company behind it trades both in Canada and in the U.S., and its stock, much like its story, is highly under-appreciated. It should, by all reasonable measure, be a multibillion-dollar firm at this point, but it trades today at a market cap of a couple hundred million dollars. For all intents and purposes, it's an unknown. Like I said, all of that is going to chance in short order. Learn more about this tech and where it could take the EV sector in the coming years [right here](. The video is quick and entertaining, and itâll get you up to speed on what this company is doing and how companies like Tesla, Toyota, VW, and Mercedes, along with EV startups like Rivian and Lucid, have everything to lose by not working with it. Itâs a remarkable story that will make you wonder why Forbes and Fortune arenât headlining it. If youâre interested in learning more, [enter here](.

You can tell by its crumbling resistance to rain... snow... even wind. In fact, mass blackouts caused by extreme weather conditions have jumped 78% in the past 20 years alone. But it's not just the elements that have beaten down our power grid... Itâs also the big utility conglomerates that control the whole system â theyâre constantly cutting corners to make a profit. All at the expense of providing reliable power to every American... Unless something is done soon, our power grid could collapse because of Mother Nature or greedy utility companies. That means lights out for millions of Americans like you and me. Thatâs why Iâve been alerting investors to the new "Emperor of Energy." [newton battery icymi]( It's a unique type of energy storage system that stands to take power back from Big Utility (literally) and save our grid from ruin. It has nothing to do with expensive lithium batteries... wind turbines... or solar panels... [But thanks to a huge breakthrough, it can provide clean energy to the grid 24/7 using a limitless resource.]( The company behind this groundbreaking tech just secured a major contract to supply its tech to two states that are already suffering from power outages thanks to extreme weather... And before we know it, these devices could be connected to every grid in the country â completely reorganizing the $3.3 trillion energy sector as we know it. Dear reader, this is the energy play nobody is talking about. And while thereâs still time, you can get positioned for less than $3.
