Lei Jun refuted the rumors that the intelligent driving program cooperated with a third party: from beginning to end, Xiaomi's self-developed annual cost exceeded 2 billion
At 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Lei Jun started a three-and-a-half-hour live broadcast, driving the debut Xiaomi SU7 Pro from near Shanghai's Century Avenue to Hangzhou. When talking about the intelligent driving program, Lei Jun responded to the previous rumors that Xiaomi's intelligent driving program uses a third-party company, he emphasized: "We have set a goal since the beginning, and all of Xiaomi's intelligent driving should be developed by ourselves!" Lei Jun said: "The annual cost of Xiaomi's own research and development of intelligent driving is more than 2 billion yuan, and the investment is extremely high, and there are few manufacturers in China that have developed their own products from beginning to end." Whether you dare to do high-end intelligent driving by yourself also reflects the company's ambition to become a leader in intelligent driving. Previously, Lei Jun also revealed at the Xiaomi investor conference that the Xiaomi car intelligent driving team has more than 1,000 engineers.
Lei Jun said in the live broadcast that the first car of the Xiaomi SU7 Pro version will be delivered in Beijing this afternoon. "What can be delivered today may be Beijing, Tianjin, and Shenyang, and it may soon be delivered except for Shanghai." Lei Jun said that the delivery at the end of the month was completed 12 days ahead of schedule.
International news
Apple and OpenAI are preparing major announcements for WWDC
On May 20, it was reported that Apple and OpenAI plan to make a major announcement at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10. Apple is expected to rely primarily on on-device approaches, where AI functions will be handled on the device itself; It also plans to offer its services via the cloud. In Sunday's weekly PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said that Apple and Open AI are gearing up to announce the big news of their partnership at WWDC, and OpenAI is currently racing to make sure it can handle the influx of new users that the iPhone will bring to the market. Earlier this month, it was reported in the media that Apple was in the final stages of bringing OpenAI to the iPhone, and it seems that these negotiations have been successful.
OpenAI responds to the "gag-up" resignation clause: it has never recovered any employee equity
This past weekend, a former OpenAI employee named Kelsey Piper broke the news that any employee at the company has a requirement in their onboarding document instructions that "within 60 days of leaving the company, employees must sign an exit document containing a 'general waiver.'" If the signing is not completed within 60 days, the employee's equity gain will be cancelled. In other words, OpenAI has set a separation clause that employees find unreasonable on the condition of equity.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded to the rumors of the "gag-and-go" resignation clause on social platforms: The company has never taken back anyone's vested equity, even if people have not signed a separation agreement (or disagreed with a non-derogatory agreement).
He added that in the company's previous resignation documents, there was indeed a provision for potential equity cancellation. "While we have never repossessed any of our shares, this should not have appeared in any of our documents or communications. It's my responsibility, and one of the few times I've really felt embarrassed in my run of OpenAI; I didn't know it was going to happen, but I should have known. (Interface News)
Microsoft faces billions of dollars in fines in the EU for Bing AI risks
The European Commission has asked Microsoft to respond to requests for information about its Bing search engine and generative AI services by May 27 or face fines of up to 1% of its annual revenue. The request stems from the Digital Services Act and addresses the risks of generative AI, such as hallucinations, deepfakes, and automated manipulation. If Microsoft ignores the request, it could also face higher fines. While a fine of 1% may not seem like much, it could be more than $2 billion for a large business like Microsoft. At the moment, Microsoft has not been convicted of violating EU law, and the request is more of a courtesy notice.
Ilya leaves OpenAI Insider exposure: Ultraman cut his team's computing power and prioritized products to make money
OpenAI has recently faced a wave of resignations, with core members such as Ilya and Jan Leike leaving. Reasons include the divergence of priorities between technocrats and marketers over AI security, as well as the company's neglect of security. OpenAI's computing resource allocation and trust issues have also been pointed out. Currently, OpenAI is adjusting its super-alignment team, but the outside world is skeptical about its future development.

38% of web pages in 2013 are inaccessible today
An analysis by the Pew Research Center found that 38% of web pages in 2013 were inaccessible by October 2023. The findings highlight the short lifespan of online content. The researchers took advantage of the web pages archived by Common Crawl, a service that regularly archives snapshots of the internet. From 2013 to 2023, researchers collected a sample of about 90,000 web pages each year to check whether they are still accessible today. As of October 2023, it was found that a quarter of all web pages were inaccessible, and there were two types of inaccessibility: 16% of web pages that didn't exist but the domain name was still there, and 9% that the domain name was gone. 38% of the web pages collected by the 2013 snapshot will be inaccessible in 2023; One in five snapshots collected in 2021 are inaccessible after two years.
The researchers analyzed 500,000 government web pages using a snapshot from Common Crawl in March/April 2023 to check if the links on the web pages worked. Of the 42 million links, 86% are sitelinks, the vast majority of these government pages use HTTPS, 6% point to static files such as PDFs, 16% are redirected, 6% are inaccessible, and 21% contain at least one bad link. An analysis of news site pages found that 23% of web pages contained at least one bad link, and that high-traffic news sites and low-traffic news sites had about the same percentage of bad links. 54% of Wikipedia page reference links contain at least one dead link. The researchers also analyzed a sample of real-time tweets on X/Twitter in the spring of 2023 and found that nearly one-fifth of tweets were largely invisible within 3 months. Sixty percent of them are because the account has been set to private, suspended, or deleted. Forty percent is because the account publisher deleted it himself, but the account itself is still active.

NetBSD prohibits AI-generated code
The BSD distribution project NetBSD prohibits the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, etc. to generate code. BSD has updated its commit guidelines: if the code was not written by the developer, then double-check that the code is licensed to allow it to be imported into the NetBSD source code repository and allowed for free distribution. Developers need to contact the author of the source code to make sure they are the sole author of the code and verify that no other code has been copied. Code generated by large models such as GitHub/Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta Code Llama is considered likely to be copied from code licensed under different licenses, and BSD requires that code generated by these AI tools not be handed over without approval from the core team.
Winamp 宣布将公开源代码
Winamp, the former installed music player, has announced that it will make its source available on September 24, 2024. Winamp was developed by American programmer Justin Frankel and Russian programmer Dmitry Boldyrev. In the late 1990s and early 21st century, almost every user had Winamp installed on their PC as part of their installation. However, after being acquired by AOL, Winamp's development came to a standstill. In 2014, Winamp was packaged and sold along with the Shoutcast music service to Radionomy, an online radio aggregator based in Brussels, Belgium. Open source will allow the open source community to directly contribute to the improvement of the product.
