XAI Grok 1.5 Vision Leverages Tesla FSD to Understand the Real World
April 21, 2024
Grok-1.5V is competitive with existing frontier multimodal models in a number of domains, ranging from multi-disciplinary reasoning to understanding documents, science diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs. Grok has capabilities in understanding our physical world. Grok outperforms its peers in our new RealWorldQA benchmark that measures real-world spatial understanding. For all datasets below, they evaluate Grok in a zero-shot setting without chain-of-thought prompting. This leading real world understanding is building upon Tesla data and work with FSD (full self driving).
Recent reports are that Tesla has 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips or more. This would be 400 exaflops. Elon has said that XAI needs to train Grok 3 with 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips. It is clear that XAI will push future versions of Grok for real world AI leadership in understanding video and audio.

Nobody knows that. Let the market tell us that. And it will. The price of the shares of a stock are being continuously evaluating by the people who buy them and it will keep changing according to what in general they think when they set what's right.
In my opinion, the challenge for Elon Musk and Tesla, Inc. now is to recover the initial respect respect and the reputation he gained before 2022 that is in decline at this time. Unfortunately it's a challenging place to be when one gradually begins to lose trust and respect that Tesla enjoyed for many years.
Tesla apparently needs to work hard and make many changes using PR after acknowledging a change in their priorities. But, it all will require time.
Elon even though a pioneer it appears to be lacking in priorities especially when it comes to the need for higher standards and excellence.
He is the pioneer and motivator of innovations but I think in need of higher wanting and demonstrating that he wants to uphold quality and higher standard and excellence in taste to raise the company culture in that respect. That quality and details are an important part of any innovation to appeal and attract those who want and need in any product they produce. It's not only to have a large margin of profits along. Higher standards in expensive products must be the goal.
Probably, his background being modest in elegance and appreciation of higher standards in art and beauty may have been lacking. We shouldn't blame of that. But I believe it's bad to deprive his great talent and skills to be lacking the excellence and high quality they deserve. Those give a higher value to the product commanding more respect and trust in quality.
However, it's understandable that in general highly talented folks rarely happen to satisfy and meet all the range and aspects of what a fully and highly developed and cultured societies.

Tesla recalling nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks because accelerator pedal can get stuck
Tesla is recalling 3,878 of its 2024 Cybertrucks after it discovered that the accelerator pedal can become stuck, potentially causing the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally and increase the risk of a crash.
The accelerator pedal pad may dislodge and become trapped by the interior trim, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall involves model year 2024 Cybertrucks made between Nov. 13, 2023 and April 4, 2024, according to the NHTSA.
As of Monday, Tesla was not aware of any collisions, injuries or deaths related to the issue, the NHTSA said. Cybertrucks in production had been outfitted with a new accelerator pedal component by Wednesday of this week, according to the NHTSA.
Wait a minute, if Tesla isnt aware of any accidents related to this issue then that means all the Cybertrucks that have experienced SUA, there have been a few mentioned in the media, did so because of some other reason...Glitch? See below for more information on how EM radiation causes SUA.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue
Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/
The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

What interesting timing. I bring up the adams event and now I find out there is going to be a presentation on it next week. Specifically about the increase in cosmic rays during that period of time. If the earths magnetic field continues to weaken, something supoosedly going to be accelerated by all that SpaceX debris, then we will see this. More cosmic rays means more chances Teslas go out of control due to bit flips and EMI.
Cosmic rays streamed through Earth's atmosphere 41,000 years ago: New findings on the Laschamps excursion
Times of lower paleomagnetic field intensity—less shielding—should correlate to higher rates of cosmogenic radionuclide production in the atmosphere. Sanja Panovska, a researcher at GFZ Potsdam, Germany will present her findings about the relationship between paleomagnetic field intensity and cosmogenic nuclides during the Laschamps excursion, with a focus on space climate, next week during the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2024.
Variations in cosmogenic radionuclides like beryllium-10 provide an independent proxy of how Earth's paleomagnetic intensity changed. Indeed, Panovska found that the average production rate of beryllium-10 during the Laschamps excursion was two times higher than present-day production, implying very low magnetic field intensity and lots of cosmic rays reaching Earth's atmosphere

Evidence for an Extreme Cooling Event Prior to the Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion in Eifel Maar Sediments
Phases of increased and supra-local flood activity coincide with Heinrich stadials in marine sediment records,
Flood frequency remained high throughout all Heinrich stadials,
Flood deposition was caused by a decline in stabilizing vegetation cover due to detrimental climate conditions and increased water supply from heavy rains or seasonal snowmelt,
Periods of high slumping activity occurred during the early MIS 3 warm phase, at 43,500 yr b2k and subsequent to GI3,
The slumping event at 43,500 b2k (ACE) led to the formation of a prominent fractured, breccia-like sediment texture with a preservation of lamination within individual rotated blocks, indicating that the sediment was solidified due to deep frost conditions during GS12,
The timing of the ACE coincides with the initial onset of the Laschamp geomagnetic excursion [32,33,34].
Although a definite connection between the ACE and the Laschamp event cannot be proven, their simultaneous timing seems intriguing. Nonetheless, the severely cold climate conditions during GS12, as well as the environmental impacts of the Laschamp and the Campanian Ignimbrite events, must have presented major challenges for European populations [66,67,68,69] and are quite likely responsible for the demise of the Neanderthals and the subsequent domination of anatomically modern humans.
This study suggests that there was a warm phase, flooding (like we are seeing now), and significant cooling event leading up and into the Laschamp Event (Adams Event). This is the last time the earths magnetic field weakened like it is now before the poles flipped and then flipped back again about 800 years later. At least one major volcanic event occurred after the event suggesting a possible connection between super volcanoes and geomagnetic polar flips. Humans are not the cause of climate change! Teslas will not stop this and will only increase pollution!

Whats funny about this is theres claims that magnetic field weakening is not causing climate change because theres no evidence that the last excursion caused such climate changes. Yet, the above study shows climate change occurring around the time of the Adams event that may have killed off European Neanderthal.
A 2021 study connects the Laschamps excursion to climate upheaval, extinction events, and even changes to human behavior. The scientists hypothesized that during a time when Earth’s magnetic field was weaker than normal, increased solar and cosmic radiation was able to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere, altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.
But Schmidt says this study is speculative at best. “Where is the evidence for any changes in climate 42,000 years ago that are associated with extinctions? There are no shifts in the ice cores. We know that there was a lot of climate variability over the last ice age, and we have it pretty well-timed, none of it lines up with this magnetic excursion.”
Well Schmidt, you need only look into the research above!
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/earths-shifting-magnetic-fields-arent-causing-climate-change
The flooding event in Dubai was not weather wars or cloud seeding. Its a result of this climate change due to the earths weakening field. Just like the sudden cooling event in China was not caused by weather wars.

Bad news for Mars-bound astronauts – cosmic rays damage your GI tract
In more bad news for future voyagers to Mars, a team of scientists at the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) has found the kind of Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) that astronauts will encounter on long space voyages can cause heavy damage to their gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Using animal tissue bombarded by artificial cosmic ray particles, the researchers found that the radiation produces both immediate and long term health problems.
Decades of investigation into the field of space medicine has revealed that space is much more hostile to the human body than once thought. This is especially true of the hazards posed by prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation during long deep-space missions, such as to the planet Mars.
These hazards include increased risks of cancers such as leukemia, damage to the brain and nervous tissue, as well as general radiation sickness. But now it appears that even the GI tract can be affected, with immediate damage to the digestive system and long term danger of increased cancer risks.
I wonder if the increase in GI issues being seen on the earths surface is because of the increase in radiation exposure due to a weakening magnetic field? Also this is just another reason why human space travel and colonization is not happening.
Given the proximity of passenger location to that of the EM fields eminating from the battery/motor/ etc.., EVs could increase GI cancer rates.
The following photos show the various sources of man-made EM radiation coming from Electric Vehicles and their autonomous feature sets.
