One Big Story: Tesla vs. Waymo For An Autonomous Future

Anthony Levandowski, Waymo's co-founder, said he'd "rather be in Tesla's shoes than in Waymo's" regarding self-driving cars. Why? Data. Tesla has millions of vehicles on the road, constantly feeding back information to improve its tech. Waymo, meanwhile, is only in a few cities, which limits its data.

Tesla's approach uses camera footage from its massive fleet to train its AI, while Waymo relies on a smaller fleet with specialized sensors. Levandowski thinks Tesla's sheer volume of data gives them the edge.

My Take: Levandowski's point is simple: more data means better AI. Tesla has cars everywhere, collecting data from all sorts of conditions, which could make its system smarter and faster. Waymo's tech is sophisticated, but Tesla's got the scale—which might be what matters in this game. If I had to pick, I'd go with the company that's learning the fastest.

What do you think? Is Tesla's data advantage enough to win the self-driving race?

Cool Tech: Adobe's Crushing It with New AI Tools

Adobe just launched a slew of powerful AI features across Creative Cloud, and it's a game-changer. From Illustrator to Premiere Pro, AI now makes creative work faster, smoother, and more fun. Adobe Max is here, showcasing how AI boosts creative flow.

What's New:

• Photoshop's Distraction Removal: Forget tedious edits—AI now removes distractions like wires, people, and clutter with one click. It’s like magic.

• Firefly Generative AI Upgrades: Firefly’s latest version, now in Photoshop, generates sharper, more varied images and understands prompts better.

• Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro Upgrades: Illustrator’s new "Objects on Path" makes arranging elements a breeze. InDesign and Premiere Pro also got upgrades, like the Generative Expand tool for perfect fits.

My Take: Adobe is nailing these AI tools. It's not just automation—it’s about helping creatives work faster and better—more flow, less grunt work. These features are a big win for anyone tired of tedious edits.

Today’s Tip: Don’t Attend a Meeting Without This AI Hack

Nobody enjoys meetings, but to stand out in any business meeting setting, you should be extremely prepared. Below is a mega-prompt that allows you to edit and fill in placeholders to show up to your next meeting or interview like a rockstar. I used this myself, and everyone thought I was using magic powers. Nope, I'm just using AI like a boss.

Here is the prompt:

You're an expert assistant helping someone prepare for an important meeting. Please generate a detailed meeting preparation guide for the following context:

Meeting Details:

Participants: [List participants, their roles, and relationships to the user]

Goals: [State key goals or outcomes the user wants to achieve in this meeting]

Main Topics: [List the main topics or agenda items for discussion]

Key Challenges: [Describe any challenges, roadblocks, or anticipated questions]

Desired Tone: [e.g., Friendly, Formal, Collaborative, Assertive]

Background Information:

Company or Organization: [Provide the name and any key details about the company or organization]

Recent Developments: [Summarize recent events or information relevant to the meeting]

Previous Interactions: [Details of prior meetings or communications with participants]

Context: [Provide the broader context of why this meeting is happening]

Specific Talking Points:

[List specific points the user needs to cover]

Questions to Ask:

[List questions the user should ask to gather information or encourage discussion]

Concerns:

Preparation Guide Request:
Generate a meeting preparation guide that includes:

Agenda Overview: Summarize the purpose and key topics to ensure focus.

Talking Points: Provide structured talking points that align with the meeting goals.

Strategic Approaches: Offer advice on how to approach specific challenges or sensitive topics.

Questions to Ask: Suggest questions to prompt meaningful discussions and gather useful information.

Objection Handling: Prepare counterpoints or answers to anticipated objections.

Tone and Language Guidance: Provide specific language suggestions to help set the desired tone throughout the meeting.

Action Items and Follow-ups: Suggest potential action items to propose during the meeting, as well as ideas for effective follow-ups.

Ensure the output is actionable, realistic, and easy to follow, allowing the user to enter the meeting feeling prepared and confident.

Remember: you should edit this and fill in placeholders to best suit your meeting. It could also be used for tough conversations with friends or job interviews.

🤔 Which image is real?

One of these images is real, and one was created with AI. Vote for which one you think is real, and tell us why you voted that way. My only goal is to choose such good photos that the majority of votes are wrong.

Last edition’s results (81.5% were wrong):

Did you vote in the poll from the 15th? Wow, we are finally at the point where a massive number of you cannot tell the difference between what’s real and what’s AI.

One comment summed this up beautifully: “I don’t know! This weekly “pick the pic” has shown me that I need to rely more on my instincts. A future, where we are constantly wondering if it’s real or fake is stressful. How do we navigate our new world?”
