boston dynamics releasing the latest edition of the atlas robot. >>> and consider us all tortured poets. fanfare and critical acclaim already rolling for taylor swift's new album and the newest surprise from the mega star in the last hour. it's friday, april 19, "early today" starts right now. good morning. i'm frances rivera. we begin with breaking news. a new round of escalation in the middle east. israel has carried out a military strike against iran. a source familiar with the situation confirming this to nbc news this morning. nbc is joined with the latest. matt, good morning. what do we know about the scope of this military strike? >> reporter: good morning, frances. in a word, it appears to be as you said, limited. we're still trying to get a good picture of what took place. this all began earlier this morning with reports of explosions in the region of the iranian city south of tehran, an interesting location for a few reasons. i'd say the main one is that several major infrastructure pieces of the iranian nuclear program are housed in the area. but also we see air force manufac

maker boston dynamics says it�*s time for the robot to "kick back and relax" after 11 years.ise, it was still sometimes flummoxed by basic tasks, including falling down stairs, struggling to pick up a box and walking into a door. sounds like me! some of which you can see in this video released by its creators. atlas was first created as part of a competition for the us military, to help with search and rescue missions. later versions were not designed for any specific purpose, but more as a means of seeing how advanced the technology could become. despite previous funding from the military, boston dynamics is now primarily focused on leasing its robots to manufacturers or the oil, gas and construction industries. quite the ode to a robot! that�*s it from me this afternoon, annita mcveigh is back in a moment. i am rajini vaidyanathan, thanks for watching. hello there. the direction of the wind will play a key role in the weather story over the next few days. lighter winds generally, today, and that�*s given us a chance for some sunshine and to enjoy the beautiful cherry blosso

the artificial intelligence advancements have helped companies like boston dynamics.re an early mover. ai is a part of this where they have said that they have been able to take some of those leaps and move forward and get things like that human dexterity that wasn't a possibility when boston dynamics launched and became that first mover. you could see this as a threat with big tech coming in. they have deep pockets, and some of the machine learning advantages here, they've got the computer vision advantages. so they are these new entrants and more competition with more funding. so could be seen as a risk. but boston dynamics has been so far ahead of this with all of these government contracts. >> you have these wow moments, like a robot doing a back flip and tesla's robot holding an egg. >> i remember you mentioned around gtc that somebody said, this is a strong anecdote, instead of typing on a computer, you'll interact with it. yo you are seeing that with robots. >>> coming up, billionaires are buying up properties in south florida. robert? >> the billionaires are t

now on to technology news, it has become known that the famous humanoid robot from boston dynamics willwhat could be the reason, philip trofimov will tell you in the vesnet program. yandex found a way to apply its own. analyzing the content of the internet, which has been based on neural networks for so long, in how it all looks from the user’s point of view. in fact, now yandex search has a neural interface that, roughly speaking, humanizes the interaction, understands the natural language in the request, and responds with a humanly formulated answer to the question instead of a set of links. most simple. nation, another question is that the audience of yandex search is 50 million people every day, each neural network calculation requires significant resources, and neuro search is as free as a regular one, but there is a nuance: it is only available from a yandex browser or a proprietary mobile application, yes and there, in order to evaluate the innovation, you need to explicitly enable the new function. if we talk about what fundamental format we have chosen, so far there have been t

this is boston dynamics. they unveiled an all new version of its humanoid atlas robot. yes. gone are the hydraulic, herky jerky motions of its ancestors. oh, gosh. >> and you never know which way it's going. >> yeah, he's now fully electric, moving with near fluid smoothness, atlas is built to execute movements that would be physically impossible for humans. what could go wrong, guys? what could this with artificial intelligence? yeah. what do you think? >> as no one read a ray bradbury book, right? >> what does that movie will smith was in? >> i, robot, isaac asimov? >> yeah, i robot, that was a good one. >> i think they're making a sequel to that. really? is it right here? yeah. >> in in life. >> it's a reality show, though. >> next to some of the craziest things people like real people leave behind in their ubers. >> so uber is out with this annual list. they put out every year. the most common items left behind among the top ten are some of the things you might expect clothing, wallet, jewelry and phones. >> yeah, topping the list of most forgetful cities miami. that's b

. >> boston dynamics has robot dogs and dancing robots, but this new generation, it moves like you've never seen before. stay with us. a mixed day for the stock market. the losers outpaced the winners, and all the major indices are heading toward a losing week. the dow managed a 22 point gain, but the nasdaq and s&p both ended trading in the red. an update today for artificial intelligence that's used on meta's platforms facebook messenger, whatsapp and instagram ceo mark zuckerberg posted a video on instagram to explain the bottom line is that we believe that meta ai is now the most intelligent ai assistant that you can freely use. >> we built it into the search box that's right at the top of whatsapp, instagram, facebook and messenger. so anytime you have a question, you can just ask it right there. >> the ai technology is called lama3. it's open sourced and some of the technology is from together ai, a san francisco company. >> the new humanoid robot from boston dynamics has more movement capabilities. as you're going to see, the design was meant to keep a bipedal formed robot with

. >> check out this new humanoid robot from boston dynamics.crificing movement, so it swivels at the joints. and while it looks human, designers say they do not want it to be limited to human movements. that is weird. you know, i'm convinced, sandia, we're going to have these in our houses and doing jobs one day, and then eventually they'll take over and it is whatever they want. >> dan, it is the wave of the future, if you will. i mean, but they could come in really handy, you know, helping out with household chores, wash the dishes, do the laundry. >> i know, you know, but what's so interesting about this? you're exactly right, sandy at casey. i can't remember who i read an article, about this, but so many of the things we have seen in science fiction over the decades that seemed outlandish and out of this world back then and now a reality. that's what we're seeing here. things science fiction often is lead the way in terms of where we go with technology. are you sure it was an article you read and not the movie terminator? >> dan, or irobot,

the new humanoid robot from boston dynamics has more movement capability. is what? my goodness.without sacrificing movement. so it swivels at the joints. the company says it makes it, quote, uniquely capable of tackling dull, dirty and dangerous tasks. they wanted this new version to be stronger and more agile. they say while it looks human, they don't want it to be limited. so you have to come up slow like that. but did you see how the human movements, the legs, go backward? >> it just a human just doesn't move this way. it's the head first. >> everything. boston i mean, it's just boston dynamics will come out with something. >> i mean, that didn't even look real. that looked like it was. i generated, but i right. it's hard to tell if it's a computer generated or if it's actually something that's been filmed. >> yeah, let's hope it's i have we learned nothing from hollywood. >> i know nothing at all. no. >> well, i have something to teach you about a delay on caltrain. let's get to some traffic. a commuter alert for you. a 34 minute delay on train 105. this is heading northboun

both tools universal, in this sense there is an intersection, and one big world news, the famous boston dynamicsaboratory said goodbye to the legendary anthropomorphic robot atlas, as it should be in the case of a media star, they said goodbye to the new , but obviously the latest video on youtube, which collected the brightest, or, well, the most significant moments in the history of the project. the development of atlas began more than 10 years ago, initially as part of an agency competition pentagon advanced research projects. the goal of which was to make a humanoid semi-autonomous rescue robot. since then , several generations of atlases have been created; the company carefully recorded each new skill they acquired on videos, which invariably collected millions of views. in fact, the whole world watched the humanoid robot grow up for 10 years. and during this time, androids have gone beyond purely laboratory experiments, it is now almost an industry, there are several projects of them serial production, but not everything is over with the atlas, farewell videos end with the words see you la

eng engineering company boston dynamics has created sparkles, a robot dog with blue, sparkly fur.ernational dance day. >>> one of the winners of this month's $1.3 billion jackpot has been revealed. he's an immigrant from laos, who has had cancer for eight years. the 48, or 46-year-old of portland, oregon said he and his wife are taking the lump-sum payment of $422 million after taxes. and they're also splitting the prize with a friend who chipped in to buy a batch of lottery tickets with them. he will now be able to provide for his family and find himself a doctor. thanks so much for waking up with "early today." i'm frances rivera. have a great tuesday. see you back here early wednesday morning. wednesday morning. laying out on some college campuses, including a building stormed by palestinian supporters. we are live in washington with the latest on the police response here and cease fire talks in the middle east. awaiting the recount results as soon as today, the

that android , which had spent more than 10 years in development , had been sent to storage, the boston dynamicsory published the first video of the completely new atlas. as we expected, the developers abandoned hydraulics, now it is completely electric, like... compact and more unrestricted by the need to follow human mechanics, it has more degrees of freedom, and as was said, although it is bipedal, two-armed, it will move like this , how it is optimal for performing a specific task, which, among other things, indicates the prospects for its commercial use in concert in the foreseeable future, and he also has the feeling that references to the terminator tx are hidden in the new short video. this is all about technology for now, tatyana. thank you, it was philip trofimov and vestinet. now advertising, then economic news, we’ll talk about the growth of demand and production in russia. let's do this again, and now to scott. any other ideas? of course, let's pay for it. yur, without a qr code for a long time, s the vtb online camera calculates everything itself. so how did it turn out? of course,

problem for the self compelled round that he looks like some sort of robotic figure and actually boston dynamics. the a very famous robot maker have just released images of the bite and bodies, basically jo, without his skin on before he goes to bed. having a stretch check and we'll hopefully tom this is joe minus is, you know, the living thing is a party. the 1st of all, but i can stand up after falls over. so maybe it's not go by the and of course we have to visit our all pals and deutschland, and some of the customers are very unhappy and ukraine. portal almost doub of all is most upset because he invested a ton of money in price on a ton of money. go rob from pearl on of williams, one of the biggest gambling companies in your claim. he's quite a guy. and unfortunately, he is alleged this week in the financial times of all places that the presidential office of ukraine desktop boyfriend, the knock of york who chose so happened to legalize ukraine's very strict gambling laws in 2021. and suddenly on, off comes in and he gets pick pocketed to the june of about $10000000.00 to g. so that's the e

i've seen this outfit at a couple of tech fairs now and, although boston dynamics has won youtube withot unique any more. h1 is nowhere near as advanced as some, but it does have the basic balancing skills, which means it can certainly handle some action from a kid from the mean streets of vegas. all right... i've always wanted to do this. spencer laughs i think it's time to exit, stage right. right, 0k. right. ok. he's not happy about that. # oh, well, bless my soul... and that's it from here for now but, like a vegas buffet, there is way too much for one sitting. trust me — i've tried. so we'll be back at this crazy place next week. you do not want to miss it. see you there. see you there? see you there. excellent. # i'm all shook up # hello. areas of low pressure are forming an orderly queue in the atlantic, heading our way over the next few days, bringing further bouts of rain. there will be some drier, sunnier interludes, and then, by the weekend, two things will happen — it will turn warmer, but it will also turn windier. the area of low pressure heading our way for the weekend i

. >> next, the newest robot from boston dynamics a little terrifying. >> it's giving us the first glimpseic atlas, which it calls the world's most dynamic humanoid robot. look at it. it's smaller and lighter than earlier versions. atlas is still being developed. no word on when it could hit the market. next. mariska hargitay plays a detective on tv, but sometimes art really does imitate life. >> while filming an episode of law and order svu, she had a real police officer moment. she stopped production to help a girl who'd been separated from her mom. the girl thought tv's detective benson was a real officer. >> she did have a police badge. she comforted the girl and the girl found her mom. next prom season is upon us and hundreds of teens are getting the dresses of their dreams. and it's all for free. >> it's called project prom. it's an annual event in new york offering low income students a boutique shopping experience. they get to choose from racks of fancy dresses and fancy accessories. >> it's amazing. i really did not know if i can afford my dress, if my mom can afford it for me, an

. >> tonight on [ bleep ] , it tonight on should we be concert at boston dynamic showed off a new humanoid freaking people out with its moves which raises the question should we be concerned? does this concern you? >> maybe another people but i don't find myself attracted to the robot i mean that in any sense of the word not just sexually attracted there is something not quite like getting validated from another human and robots don't do that for me. >> you're basically a cold blooded cyborg are you excited about these robots? >> actually not one of the most disturbing things about reading the article is this model has a much more friendly design, look at it, telling us not a laser beam on its head in there bragging about how it can do a complete 360, i'm very concerned >> the cool yoga moves are awesome but still a cup of water that's it you done reagan does this, listen, the robot apocalypse comes tomorrow as a lawyer are you going to represent humans are robots? what's the winning plan? >> i had a knee-jerk reaction right was like absolutely not and i thought about it and i was like wel

maker boston dynamics says it's time for the robot to �*kick back and relax' after 11 years.rity and poise, it was still sometimes flummoxed by basic tasks. including falling down stairs, struggling to pick up a box and walking into a door. i spoke to the head of national robotics who told me why the robot is being retired only aged 11. everything has its time so atlas did amazing things, you were talking about 0lympics so backflips in parkour, and not necessary 0lympics yet, but atlas did very well in the end of the development. these are already thinks that i cannot do. so, yes, it has them a lock, but i believe it is now time to look into the future. believe it is now time to look into the future-— the future. and what does the future look like? so — the future. and what does the future look like? so i _ the future. and what does the future look like? so i think— the future. and what does the future look like? so i think they _ the future. and what does the future look like? so i think they have - look like? so i think they have revealed that _ look like? so i think they h

rob robotics, boston dynamics crushes tesla. elon musk was making fun of their rowbotics last week.needs to focus on selling cars. >> it is a car company, not a software company that makes cars. you say it is firmly a car company. i want to get to other headlines. laying off 10% of the work force last week and shares down 10%. now, deciding to postpone the trip to india. what do you make of those? it seems like signs of trouble. things are not going musk's way. >> the head count reduction is reactionary. this shows they were not anticipating this year to be as difficult as it is because the last several years, they had been adding a few people. 10% is a big cut. india, you know, there were strategic bungles the last decade and not going to india or pushing with the mini car or model 2. that was on the table in 2019 and i'm hearing they had a bunch of reasons, but it was a strategic bungle. india is an essential market. that is a challenge for tesla. how do you get a china-like supply chain in india? you have to build it. it will take years. >> you are saying skipping the trip is a b

[laughter] the new atlas robot from boston dynamics has a face like a ringlet.ly that gives social media influencers something to look at while mechanical hands crush their throats. [laughter] no was a julie vignola joke everyone. sorry about that. [laughter] a new study found that americans -- 144 times a day. and for one american that is just like himself at his phone's camera.

. >>> and boston dynamics unveiled a new version of its humanoid robot atlas.ectronic robot in action after announcing it would retire the previous hydraulic model. boston dynamics says atlas, which could be seen standing up and walking around is designed for real world applications. >> that's crazy. wukds watch robot videos all day. thank you. >>> let's get to the broader markets. financing activity our next ghes charge of corporate credit and identifies corporate issuers higher and pension fund derisking helping drive demand in the bond market. global sacks ahead of investment grade debt underlying all of this we are seeing this back up in yields again, and i asked in the break whether you think we could see 5% on the 10-year again. you say yes. why? >> i think it's entirely possible kind of think about the trends that have been in place for the last two and a half years. the market has been consistently too dovish relative to what the fed has delivered. we expected way fewer hikes on the way up than we got we predicted way more cuts than are going to ultimat

boston dynamics showed off a new humanoidbe that's freaking people out with its creepy moves which raisessfrea questin should we be concerned? cat does this concern you? maybe for other people, but i'mo not. i don't find myself attracted to the robot. and. yeahplt don't myseltracte i met of the word. i don't just mean you. purves. i mean, like, you know what i mean? if there's something not the nothing quite like getting validation from another human dt right? robots don't really do that for me. aaron here d, basically a coldcd blooded cyborg. what do you. are you excited about these robots like that?t on >> would you deal with it? absolutely not. one of the most disturbing thingshe about reading the article was that, oh, this model has a much more friendly u look at it. >> help me. that's not a laser beam on top of its head. s noa labeamn and they're braggw it can do a complete 360. i'm very concerned, i'. yeah. i mean, the cool yoga moves are awesome, but it's stil ovesl water and in all. yeah. oh, no. then it comes. cup of water. that's it. thn does it n thidoess. listen, if the robot a

problem for the self compel ground that he looks like some sort of robotic figure and actually uh, boston dynamics. the a very famous robot maker have just released images of the bite and bodies, basically jo, without his skin on before he goes to bed. having a stretch check, and we'll hopefully tom this is joe minus his team who is a party, the 1st of all, but i can stand up after falls over. so maybe it's not. so by the end of course, we have to visit our all pals and deutschland, and some of the customers are very unhappy and ukraine. portal almost. doub overall is most upset because he invested a ton of money in price on a ton of money. go rob from pearl on of rooms, one of the biggest gambling companies in ukraine. he's quite a guy. and unfortunately, he is alleged this week in the financial times of all places that the presidential office of ukraine desktop boyfriend, the knock of york to choose so happens to legalize ukraine's very strict gambling laws in 2021. and suddenly on, off comes in and he gets pick pocketing to the tune of about $10000000.00 coaching. so that's the end of the tonig

boston dynamics created a video showing their robots are not perfect.sed a blooper reel with dozens of slips and falls by the robots. engineers say although robots are machines, they are prone to falling just like humans, and they need to be built to endure a fall without breaking. openai has signed a deal with the financial times to license the newspaper's content. openai says that will allow chatgpt to answer questions with information that will be attributed to the financial times. openai has signed similar deals over the past few months with the associated press and news publishers in france and spain, and a rare printing mistake by the federal reserve could make that $1 bill in your pocket worth thousands of dollars in 2014 2016, millions of $1 bills were printed with duplicate serial numbers. it is believed more than 6 million misprinted bills were sent out into circulation. currency collectors now say they are willing to pay thousands to anyone able to find a matching pair. so far, only nine pairs have been matched, with one collector selling a s

that will really affect the dynamics through the end of last year, but certainly as we said, the focus coming down to the fed. we heard from the federal reserve bank of boston president, and she is urging a little more patience when it comes to expectations for cuts. take a listen. >> recent data have not materially change my outlook, but they do highlight uncertainties related to timing and the need for patients, recognizing that disinflation may continue to be uneven. this also implies that less easing of policy this year than previously thought may be warranted. haidi: we bring in a client portfolio manager at drummond capital. great to see you, as always. the balance of risk seems so fine at this point that caution seems to be the name of the game. what do you expect to see from the fed? >> i think the fed needs to be really careful. there's a lot of parallels to november 2021. i think their credibility is quite at stake. i think they did move to early with their pivot in december. we felt inflation was going to be sticky ever since then, and you have three monthly prints showing you have a trend, not to mention that commodity price is pulling up, and i
