Google AI Family Welcomes New LaMDA Natural Language Model
When it comes to research and development, Google's got standards. The new LaMDA Natural Language Model is a fine example of that!
AI has revolutionized technology across industries and solved many of humanity's challenges. Some of the recent breakthroughs in the AI industry are chatbots, smart automobiles, and IoT gadgets. AI's efficiency removes redundancy. It frees humans by automating tedious or risky work, allowing them to focus on more creative work. It aids time management to accommodate adequate time for interpersonal interactions.
We have three tech giants, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, as key leaders in the AI sector. At Google, AI has helped them transition from a mobile-first to an AI-first environment. Every day Google products such as Google search, Google Maps, Google Photos, YouTube, and Gmail Smart Reply, have built-in AI. For instance, YouTube's AI-based technology, Google Brain, tracks and records users' viewing behaviour while they use the application to watch content. Deep neural networks examine all of the users' viewing patterns and preferences. It customizes feeds to addict users for easy ad revenue flow and company profit.
Google's personal favorite is language, which is remarkably subtle and versatile. They started by translating the web. Later, they developed machine learning techniques to understand the intent of search queries better. Google's progress in these areas has made it easier to organize and access the massive amounts of data given by the written and spoken word over time. LaMDA is their latest development with regards to language.
Google IO 2021 has officially started, and Google has confirmed a series of updates to most of its digital services. Among these latest updates was the announcement of the LaMDA Natural Language Model, a game-changing conversation tech that will soon influence Google Search and other Google-owned portals.
Google Assistant has trouble deciphering simple orders as it is, but apparently, LaMDA could enable the AI to have more informal free-flowing conversations. The LaMDA Natural Language Model is still developing, but Google intends to make it available for third-party testing soon.
According to Google, most discussions are open-ended as they begin somewhere and winds up elsewhere. A dialogue with a buddy about a television series could turn into a conversation about the country where the show was shot before landing on an argument over the greatest regional cuisine of that nation. To fill the missing puzzle, Google has discovered LaMDA. It is short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications. It is a free-flowing discourse about a variety of topics interconnected with one another. Google claims that this new cognitive ability will enable more "natural ways of interacting with technology" and will offer "whole new categories of useful applications."
Essentially, LaMDA is a machine learning methodology that allows chatbots to progress to the next level. It is more conversational for user interaction, unlike most chatbots that have programmed responses.
As mentioned by Google, LaMDA's verbal abilities have taken years to develop. It's based on Transformer, a neural network architecture developed by Google Research and open-sourced in 2017. It's used in many current language models, including BERT and GPT-3. The architecture generates a model that can teach to read and then analyze how words interact with one another to anticipate a consequence. LaMDA has training on dialogue, unlike most language models. It picked up on a few quirks that set open-ended dialogue apart from other types of communication during its training.
Further, Google wants to use AI to transform the $3 trillion healthcare industry in the United States by detecting, diagnosing, and treating diseases. This is in line with Google's machine learning programme's ability to diagnose breast cancer with 89 percent accuracy than pathologists' 73 percent accuracy.
If we look at the future, AI will be smarter than humans in interpreting languages, offering services, and performing surgery in the next five years. AI will get deeply ingrained in our daily lives. Whether to use it to our advantage or let it destroy the human race, the choice is ours.

brainy bull
can tesla's share price keep rolling through 2022?
By Century Financial in Brainy Bull
Tesla's [TSLA] share price had a roaring start to the year. Surging 13.5% in the first day of 2022, the stock was turbo charged by record breaking delivery numbers.
In the fourth quarter, Tesla delivered 308,000 new cars, smashing previous records and shrugging off supply chain constraints. Not to mention zooming past the expected 263,000 deliveries. What makes the results remarkable is that Tesla's production facilities were operating at a reduced capacity during the quarter.
Should demand remain at full throttle, the outlook for both Tesla and the wider electric vehicle industry looks positive in 2022.
TSLA Chart by TradingView
What's happening with Tesla's share price?
In 2021 Tesla's share price gained a whopping 51.7%, easily outpacing the S&P 500's 27.6% gain. However, having peaked at $1243.49 in intraday trading on 4 November, the stock fell over 25% to $899.94 by 20 December. Entering the new year, Tesla's share price has managed to recoup some of those losses, closing Wednesday at $1088.
Tesla's share price could stay strong through January with delivery results historically leading to an acceleration in the stock. Barron's Al Root notes that Tesla's share price has "outperformed the S&P 500 in seven of the past nine periods between delivery results and financial results."
Dan Ives at Wedbush described the fourth quarter delivery numbers as a "trophy case quarter" saying the numbers were 'jaw dropping' considering the chip shortage and supply constraints. Ives is bullish on the stock and has a $1,400 price target - a hefty 28% upside.
"The numbers are hard to poke holes in," said Ives in a note to investors. "While there are many competitors in the EV space, Tesla continues to dominate market share as evidenced again this quarter."
However, it's also worth pointing out that Tesla's share price fell 5.35% in Wednesday's session, the same day that Sony announced that it was planning to "explore entry into the electric vehicle space". During the announcement Sony unveiled an SUV prototype, the Vision O2, which could give Tesla's upcoming Cybertruck some competition.
Tesla share price growth drivers in 2022
China could be a big opportunity for Tesla this year. Despite overall car sales falling in the country, electric car sales have grown at an electrifying rate.
The country is the world's biggest market for clean energy vehicles. In the first 11 months of 2021, EV sales of new-energy vehicles (NEVs), which include plug-ins and hybrids, came in at 2.81m.
To capitalise, Tesla has invested heavily in expanding its production capability in China, which it uses to produce cars for south east Asia and Europe.
In November, delivery of NEVs in China was 378,000, up 121% from the same period the previous year, and up 18% year on year, according to China's Passenger Car Association. Tesla itself delivered 52,859 units in China that month.
And judging by how some of Tesla's Chinese rivals have performed in terms of deliveries, things are looking good in the Chinese EV market.
Nio gave 10,878 keys to its EVs in November, up from October's 3,667 when the company experienced downtime at one of its plants. Nio may have bounced back but rival Xpeng won the race, delivering 15,613 vehicles in November, a huge 270% increase. Following the steller results, both Nio [NIO] and Xpeng's [Xpev] US-listed shares gained.
Should delivery numbers continue to surge both in China and the rest of the world, then Tesla's profits and its share price could likewise go even higher. In 2021, Tesla delivered 936,172 vehicles, up 87% year-on-year, but 2022 could see Tesla finally top the 1m mark. Loop Ventures' Gene Munster told Reuters that he expects Tesla to deliver 1.3m vehicles this year, while analysts at Deutsche are expecting 1.5m.
Investors should bear in mind that the stock trades at a toppy 121.95 forward price to earnings ratio, according to data from Yahoo Finance. The carmaker has also faced some quality control issues recently with federal regulators telling it to recall 475,000 cars in December over two separate defects.
Certainly Tesla's share price is dividing Wall Street opinion. This week RBC Capital upped its price target to $1,005 from $950, while Barclays analysts have a $325 price target, up from $300 - big difference in expectations.
As it stands, Tesla's share price has an average $950.00 price target, according to the 35 analysts polled by Refiniv. The most bullish target is $1,480, which would see a 36% upside on Wednesday's close.

Working Women's Picket
On one Sunday in February 1917—normally a day off from Silent Sentinel duty—a group of pickets featured wage earning women. They worked Monday through Saturday; their day off —Sunday—was the only available day to picket at the White House gates for the right to vote.
We know we are going to be arrested today
In 1917, women picketed nearly daily at the White House for an amendment to give women the right to vote. In summer, arrests began. Women came to DC from all over the country. On November 10, a total of 41 women bore banners asking the President why they were being deprived of the right to vote. All 41 were arrested.
Lafayette, We Are Here!
Two votes needed to pass the amendment in the Senate. Alas, it's stalled. Time for more pressure on the President. In this demonstration, Suffragists "culture jam" a celebration of Lafayette, the Frenchman who helped in the American War of Independence.
Senators, we are coming for you.
In 1918, after the House voted to pass the Woman's Suffrage Amendment, a Senate vote defeated it. Brave women demonstrated against senators whose vote denied women their basic right to participate in democracy. In October 1918, police arrested women outside the Senate Office Building in Washington DC.

Here's Why a 1964 Political Ad Is Going Viral

Today, political advertisements are often assaults on the eyes and ears, full of jarring graphics and sound effects. Back in the 1960s, though, it seems like things were a bit quieter.
In the past few days an ad run by the reelection campaign of Lyndon Johnson in 1964 has been popular online—and it's just one shot of one guy, talking for more than four minutes. The unnamed subject explains exactly why he doesn't think he can vote for Johnson's Republican opponent Barry Goldwater—even though he's always been a Republican. (Quartz notes that this wasn't an actual Republican voter; it was an actor hired by the Johnson campaign.)
So, why has this ad been so popular more than 50 years later? Because current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump reminds a lot of people of Goldwater.
The man in the Johnson ad is concerned that the Ku Klux Klan has offered its support for Goldwater. In 2016, former Klan leader David Duke has been a vocal supporter of Trump. The man also says that "often I can't figure out just what Goldwater means by the things he says." Trump has often been accused of flip-flopping on issues and speaking in generalities.
There is one part of the ad that just seems out of place today—the fact that the man lights up a cigarette casually in the middle of his monologue.

ACC Vindicates APC Yansaneh
Despite the fact that the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has established that the current Secretary General of the main opposition All People's Congress (APC) Ambassador Osman Foday Yansaneh abandoned his duty as former High Commissioner to Ghana, but continued receiving salary and other emoluments, the commission made it clear that there is no case against the former.
"While the Commission finds this state of affairs a cause for concern and needs policy intervention, after due consideration of the statements obtained from various players, analysis of the legal and regulatory framework for foreign service, and the circumstances involved, the Commission has concluded that though the actions of AMBASSADOR YANSANEH were clearly preposterous and a bad example for public service, the necessary evidential threshold required to proceed with prosecution has not been attained," a release from the commission states.
"Therefore, in accordance with Section 7(f), (g), and, (h); and Section 8 of the Anti-Corruption Act, 2008, the ACC Prevention Department shall engage the Ministry and relevant stake holders to discuss and plan for a system review with a view to not only avoiding such anomalies, but to also give clear guidelines and directives to deal with the aforesaid operational weaknesses in Sierra Leone's Foreign Service."
The release states that the Anti-Corruption Commission in January 2019, received a report alleging that Ambassador Osman Foday Yansaneh, Sierra Leone's former High Commissioner to Ghana, who was also serving as Ambassador to Burkina Faso, and Togo, between 19th November, 2007, and 11th August, 2015, deliberately abandoned his duty station, whilst he was still designated as Ambassador and High Commissioner, and was mostly in Sierra Leone.
According to the release, the ACC initiated investigations into allegations of Abuse of Office, and Misappropriation of Public Funds, both contrary to Sections 42 and 36(1) of the Anti-Corruption Act, 2008, respectively. Accordingly, various officials from the Accountant-General's Office; the Finance Ministry; Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; Sierra Leone's High Commission in Ghana; and AMBASSADOR YANSANEH himself, were interviewed."
The ACC indicated in the release that Ambassador Yansaneh insisted that his absence from post was at the behest of the Former President who wanted him to be in Sierra Leone for various reasons.
"That he finally returned to Sierra Leone in January 2016 following the repatriation. That during his tenure as Ambassador to Ghana, Ambassador Yansaneh was absent from his duty post for a total of 708 (seven hundred and eight days).That during this period he was receiving full salaries, and the Head of Chancery, Mrs. Remoe-Doherty, was receiving full acting allowance for serving as Charge d'Affaire of the Embassy when Ambassador Yansaneh was away. That the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation did not have any policy guidelines on the conduct of officers on foreign missions with regards absenteeism. That Ambassador Yansaneh received salary for the month of January 2016, after his end of mission in January 2016, as evidenced by the LCP, dated 31st January 2016, and did not receive any other salary after this period," The release claims.
The ACC continued that the investigations further exposed risky practices in the management of Public Funds; an absence of a systematic and appropriate monitoring of attendance; and the lack of functional standards in Sierra Leone's foreign embassies and high commissions.
"Consequently, we believe many foreign state employees have been taking advantage of the lack of policy guidelines militating against bad practices, including, but not limited to, staying away from their post for onerous periods, and continue receiving salaries; while other staff normal salaries receive hefty acting allowances in their places, leading government to serious unnecessary financial loss."
