NOVEMBER 19, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, FORMER AMAZON CEO JEFF Bessos(Jeff Bezos) announced the launch of the AI project called "Prometheus Plan" with $6.2 billion (approximately RMB 44.7 billion)。
THE PLAN AIMS TO MOVE AI FROM A VIRTUAL WORLD TO A PHYSICAL WORLD, WHERE ROBOTS ARE ALLOWED 24 HOURS OF PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING EXPERIMENTS BY CREATING SUPER-MASSIVE AUTOMATED LABORATORIES, AND AI WILL, LIKE SCIENTISTS, DEVELOP ASSUMPTIONS, DESIGN EXPERIMENTS AND OPTIMIZE THEM。
BESSOS ONCE FADED OUT OF THE AMAZON CEO IN 2021, BUT AFTER FOUR YEARS HE CHOSE TO COME BACK AND PERSONALLY INVESTED A LOT OF MONEY。
Prometheus has now launched a "brain buy" in Silicon Valley, bringing in nearly 100 top researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Meta。
Its target areas include aerospace, auto engineering and computer hardware manufacturing, such as large-scale wind tunnel simulations in the aviation field and optimizing robotic line collaboration in car manufacturing。
And Bessos's joint CEO Vic Bajaj was a core member of Google X, involved in the drone delivery project Wing and the autopilot project Waymo, and then created Alphabet Life Sciences, Verily. This was seen as providing technical and strategic security for Prometheus。
It's worth noting that after the newsMuskOn X, the tweets were transmitted and the irony that Bessos was "Copy Cat" and that a cat emoji's "poo" was set on fire。
MASK THINKS THAT THE AREA OF BESSOS ENTERING PHYSICS AI AND ROBOTICS IS THE ROUTE OF "REPEATED" TESLA。
The two have long-standing competitive relationships, ranging from satellite Internet to rocket launch to self-pilot, which have lasted two decades. Nevertheless, Mask offered his blessing after the successful launch of the New Glen rocket under the Bessos flag。
