Jun 27 2022

Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar, Diana Ross and hundreds of other acts headed to Worthy Farm in Somerset, England last weekend for the much-anticipated return of Glastonbury Festival and it was definitely worth the wait.

From iconic headline slots to coming-of-age performances from some noise-making bands and singers, the contemporary performing artists saw waves of British festivalgoers and tourists don boots, bags and bandanas at the globally popular festival.

Festival attendees included award-winning rapper Stormzy, former One Direction members Niall Horan & Louis Tomlinson, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright and many more.

Key iconic moments included Paul McCartney’s video introduction of his late fellow Beatle John Lennon, Olivia Rodrigo’s middle finger to the United States’ Supreme Court Justices and Kendrick Lamar’s heavy-hitting artistic closer.

AI humanoid robot ‘Optimus’ will be ready in three months says Elon Musk

Jun 26 2022

Elon Musk’s AI humanoid robot could have a first prototype ready within just three months from now, and it will be called ‘Optimus.’

The robot, the Tesla CEO revealed, will be able to walk around at speeds of 5mph and lift up to 150lbs for its intended purpose of carrying out manual labour.

Musk is set to show off Optimus at the company’s ‘AI Day’ event which is scheduled for the 30th of September and thinks that Tesla could move Optimus from prototype to production as early as next year.

The SpaceX founder claimed the switch to robots doing menial tasks will usher in an ‘age of abundance’ as we would just employ robots to do all the work we don’t want to do. The robots will transform the world more than the electric cars by Tesla themselves, said Musk.

The robot was first teased back during the previous AI Day in August of last year as Musk claimed that the rise of the machines would have profound economic implications. Apart from handling boring and even dangerous tasks, the robots can even pick up shopping or do simple house chores.

And for those worrying about a Terminator-esque end of the world, Musk said that the robot could be easily overpowered by humans. However, he did also say that each robot could develop unique personalities over time.
