BYD announces EV fast-charging as quick as petrol ⚡ https://hubs.li/Q03dNnT20 📍The Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has unveiled a new charging system that it said could make it possible for EVs to charge as quickly as it takes to refill with petrol. 📍Two new BYD models will be capable of receiving peak charging power of 1,000 kilowatts (kW), enabling them to travel 400km (249 miles) on a five-minute charge, the BYD founder, Wang Chuanfu, said at an event livestreamed from the company’s Shenzhen headquarters on Monday. The disruption of transportation is inevitable. EVs and A-EVs will replace ICE cars and create a brand new transportation business model, 'Transport-as-a-Service'. https://hubs.li/Q03dNsh10 Uncover this disruption in-depth: https://hubs.li/Q03dNr730 Uncover 8 myths about EVs that need to be sent to the scrap heap: https://hubs.li/Q03dNyJh0

The great stranding of coal, oil and gas is here ⬇️⛽ Wind and solar now account for more U.S power than coal says U.S Energy Administration... 🚀 Coal is out. Clean Energy is in. And RethinkX predicted it. In our 2021 Energy report, RethinkX predicted by 2030, coal, gas, and nuclear power technologies will be unable to compete with new battery-firm capacity that makes electricity from solar and wind possible all day, all night, all year round. https://hubs.li/Q03dNywX0 We also predicted in 2017 that oil demand would peak at 100 million barrels a day by 2020 and the collapse of oil prices would be felt as early as 2021. We were correct. This means that the disruption of conventional technologies is now inevitable. No new investment in coal, gas or nuclear power is rational from this point forward. Decision-makers must act fast to respond to this inevitable disruption of coal oil and gas, and to protect people over profit: https://hubs.li/Q03dNnSY0 📽️ Watch our founder explain The Great Stranding in detail: https://hubs.li/Q03dNyxR0

Figure announces highest volume humanoid robot production line in the world 🤖https://hubs.li/Q03dpRVH0 Initially designed to produce 12,000 robots/year, it will scale to support a fleet of 100,000 "The robots are coming. Leaders in government and industry are trying desperately to reassure the public – and themselves – that AI and robots won’t upset the status quo. But no matter how hard we try, wishing for something won’t make it true...The painful truth is that AI and robots will take our jobs. At the same time, the rise of AI and robots itself will create new jobs. But AI and robots will take those jobs too." - Adam Dorr, RethinkX Read the painful truth about AI & robotics: https://hubs.li/Q03dq0qj0 Watch a video on this insight: https://hubs.li/Q03dp_QZ0

AI revolutionizes weather forecasting 🌡️☀️☁️ https://hubs.li/Q03dpJ-p0 📍Cambridge scientists have made a major breakthrough in weather forecasting after developing a new AI prediction model that is tens of times better than current systems. 📍The new model, called Aardvark Weather, replaces the supercomputers and human experts used by forecasting agencies with a single artificial intelligence model that can run on a standard desktop computer. 📍This turns a multi-stage process that takes hours to generate a forecast into a prediction model that takes just seconds. 📍Tests of the Aardvark model revealed that it is able to outperform the United States national GFS forecasting system using just 10 per cent of the input data, leading researchers to say it could offer a “revolution in forecasting”. Over the next 15-20 years, artificial intelligence (in various forms) will disrupt and revolutionize human labor across every major industry and sector of the global economy.

Electric vehicles are expensive! Electric vehicles don’t have the range that consumers need! There are not enough key materials to make electric cars! Myths like these are widespread and incorrect. The purchase price of electric vehicles in the US is now on-par with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. And, after purchase, the maintenance costs of EVs is a fraction of the costs for ICEs. Not only has the range of typical electric cars increased, the number of fast-charging stations has increased dramatically too. Moreover, today we are producing more key materials for TVs than ever—ten times more than two decades ago, and we are finding more than ever too. 🚀The disruption of transportation by electric and autonomous electric vehicles will create an entirely new model for transportation… ‘Transport-as-a-Service’… which encourages higher vehicle utilization, Cheaper transportation costs and a decimation of the oil & gas industry… Join Bradd Libby of RethinkX as he dispels 8 key myths about electric vehicles that need to be sent to the scrap heap… https://hubs.li/Q03cFftS0 Uncover Transport-as-a-Service: https://hubs.li/Q03cFfjw0

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei expects AI to write 90% of new code in three to six months and “essentially all of the code” in 12 months." - https://hubs.li/Q03ct2NT0 Over the next 15-20 years, humanoid robots will disrupt human labor throughout every sector of the global economy. Humanoid robots will enter the market at a cost-capability of under $10/hour for their labor, on a trajectory to under $1/hour before 2035 and under $0.10/hour before 2045 Throughout history, every time technology has enabled a 10x or greater cost reduction relative to the incumbent system, a disruption has always followed. This figure alone makes the disruption of a substantial fraction of human labor inevitable...

Portable factories solution to mass manufacturing solar energy? 🔋☀️🌎 https://hubs.li/Q03csJNq0 📍Charge Robotics, founded by MIT alumni, is developing portable factories that automate the assembly and installation of large-scale solar farms, aiming to significantly reduce costs and speed up deployment. 📍These factories assemble solar farm sections on-site, with a robotic vehicle placing the finished product. The system addresses labor shortages and bottlenecks in solar installation, which are hindering the industry's growth. 📍After a successful prototype deployment, Charge Robotics has secured $22 million for commercial deployments later this year, signaling a shift towards mass manufacturing in solar energy. A nationwide 100% SWB system in the U.S would produce more than enough SWB Superpower to electrify all road transportation and wipe out virtually all associated demand for oil... What is SWB Superpower? https://hubs.li/Q03csGn70 Portable factories that enable mass deployment and decentralization present an exciting piece of the puzzle... ☀️🔋🌎
