All the new applications and systems made better or replaced with A.I.

First up Google Maps

Introducing Geospatial Analytics

Google Maps Platform is used by over 10 million websites and apps. Customers want to access more insights from our up-to-date, comprehensive geospatial data, so they can make more informed business and sustainability decisions. That’s why for the first time, we’re integrating new Google Maps Platform datasets, along with Earth Engine datasets and capabilities, directly into BigQuery, to make it easier for data analysts and decision makers to access insights. Read this blog to go deeper on our geospatial analytics capabilities. Starting today, the following datasets can be accessed in BigQuery:

Our first Imagery Insights dataset, available in Experimental, applies Vertex AI in Google Cloud directly to Street View imagery in data clean rooms, to identify, detect, and see the condition of key infrastructure objects, like telephone poles, street signs, roads, and bridges. If a telecom company wants to identify which utility poles require maintenance, they can use this dataset to more easily locate all their poles virtually.

Places Insights available in Preview, enables businesses to get customized, aggregated insights about many places in a wider area, based on ratings, store hours, parking, wheelchair accessibility, and more. If a retailer wants to open a new store in an area with a high concentration of expensive restaurants and a low density of large retail brands, Places Insights will provide insights on locations that fit this criteria.

Roads Management Insights available in Preview, helps public sector and road authorities analyze traffic data and improve roads with historical and real-time traffic information. For example, traffic authorities can use the insights from this to identify accident-prone areas and add safety measures like speed bumps or stop signs. They can also build models that forecast traffic conditions to mitigate congestion before it even occurs.

Earth Engine in BigQuery available in Preview, enables organizations to derive sustainability insights, such as wildfire risk or deforestation, from satellite imagery for a specified area of interest. With a new geospatial function and 20 new Earth Engine datasets available in BigQuery, this feature makes advanced geospatial analysis accessible to data analysts–even if they don’t have remote sensing expertise.

In addition to these new geospatial analytics capabilities, Google Earth now provides no-code geospatial analytics tools that enable any professional to access insights. To offer a more comprehensive suite of geospatial tools for developers, data analysts and geospatial practitioners, we're bringing Google Earth–which remains available for everyone–and our new geospatial analytics datasets into the Google Maps Platform family.

This is Demis Hassabis. One of the smartest human's on earth. PHD in neural science from M.I.T. A Nobel prize winner for mapping all the proteins in our body. Use to take a year to map one protein, he used A.I. to map 200 in a year. .

He thinks A.I. is going possibly lead to the elimination of diseases in a decade. Create a Vaccine for a new diseases in weeks instead of years.

The primary benefit of AI right now is not really "intelligence". It's that they can consume massive amounts of data in the fraction of the time a person can.

This... and also it will regurgitate and compile the data into a requested output with the same speed of lightning comparison to humans.

What does this equate to per hour

I'm very interested in what advancements can be accomplished in medical/health area.

Also would love to see how the brain works. Still so many unknowns.

Agreed. This is baby steps compared to what's coming.

First AI driverless are officially approved by Texas.

Driverless trucks are officially running their first regular long-haul routes, making roundtrips between Dallas and Houston.

On Thursday, autonomous trucking firm Aurora announced it launched commercial service in Texas under its first customers, Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines, which delivers time- and temperature-sensitive freight. Both companies conducted test runs with Aurora, including safety drivers to monitor the self-driving technology dubbed "Aurora Driver." Aurora's new commercial service will no longer have safety drivers.

"We founded Aurora to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly, said Chris Urmson, CEO and co-founder of Aurora, in a release on Thursday. "Now, we are the first company to successfully and safely operate a commercial driverless trucking service on public roads."

The trucks are equipped with computers and sensors that can see the length of over four football fields. In four years of practice hauls the trucks' technology has delivered over 10,000 customer loads. As of Thursday, the company's self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

Aurora is starting with a single self-driving truck and plans to add more by the end of 2025.

Self-driving technology continued to garner attention after over a decade of hype, especially from auto companies like Tesla, GM and others that have poured billions into the tech. Companies in the market of autonomous trucking or driving tend to use states like Texas and California as their testing grounds for the technology.

When will AI master artificial blood.

Yes, great thread... these no-code vibe coding solutions are crazy good.

Manus.ai, Cursor, Windsurf, Lovable, Crewai etc...

If you are looking for solutions to level up yo shit...

http://futuretools.io
https://theresanaiforthat.com/

And my favorite tool to play with is http://notebooklm.google.com

You can put YouTube videos and PDFs, etc in there... generate study guides, chat with the docs, generate a mind map... and create a podcast you can talk with from the source material.

We are almost to custom JARVIS, actually. Especially with AI Agents.

I was just with Aurora at the ACT Expo in Anaheim on Tuesday.

Hydrogen was front and center more than anticipated. Pretty big conference.

Had some productive meetings.......
