Google is considering using artificial intelligence tools to write news stories and is in talks with news outlets to use the tools to help journalists, a company spokesperson said late Wednesday. The spokesperson didn’t name the publisher, but the New York Times reported that Google had been in talks with the Washington Post, News Corp, which owns the Wall Street Journal, and even The New York Times. A Google spokeswoman said these AI tools could help journalists by providing headlines and different writing options, for example in ways that “make them more productive and work better,” adding that it’s in the “early stages of exploring ideas,” Reuters reported. “Simply put, these tools are not intended to, and cannot, replace the critical role that journalists play in reporting, writing and fact-checking stories,” the spokesperson said. But some executives who have seen Google’s proposal, citing people familiar with the matter, said they pointed out that the proposed AI tool is cal

It has become a certain trend at BMW to launch a high-end version of the M-car a few years after the original M-car was launched. It feels like a planned obsolescence or intentional downgrade, but the result is a nice special edition that looks like this: M3CS . Just like the M5 CS, adding these two letters to the M3’s trunk badge turns the sport sedan into the corner animal it’s supposed to be, with less lethargy and more drama. 543 horsepower, a retuned chassis and lighter weight make for a car that allows him to go 100 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. However, we suspect that BMW has again become conservative in its performance estimates. With its special trimmings, unique headlights, forged wheels, carbon-infused bonnet and standard M carbon buckets (but not for the rear seats), this M3 has all the ingredients to rack up tons of cool points and instantly turn it into a classic. https://ift.tt/64MRqgf The coolest cars of 2023… so far Auto Updates

Most new and used car deals are completed in about an hour, Walsh said. Customers don’t even need to visit a Qvale store. It can all be done online and the car will be delivered right to the customer’s driveway. Everything starts with pricing. Qvale uses Velocity Intelligent Pricing, which measures actual transaction prices, inventory levels and age, factory incentives, customer engagement, and more to determine advertised sales prices. For example, senior sales representatives are empowered to accept offers without requiring sales manager approval. Walsh said this isn’t no-negotiate pricing, and stores won’t lose deals if the offer is close to the advertised price. More importantly, he said, customers don’t get hit with unexpected price increases. “We would rather lose with integrity than win without integrity,” Walsh said of Coubert’s pricing strategy. He said the company measures nearly every aspect of the Qvale Way. “We are always looking to improve. The only way we can do tha

FMEA defines how to see the individual impact of failures and how those failures affect customers and the supply chain. Any failure mode will cause a CAPA or non-compliance, which may include notification of the warranty to the customer. The impact is company-wide. Like other processes, FMEA methodologies have evolved. There are currently seven steps defined in the AIAG-VDA standard. 1. Planning and preparation: Decide which processes, systems, metrics or aspects of your business you need to focus on. 2. Structural analysis: Identify and divide designs into system, subsystem, assembly, and component elements. 3. Functional analysis: Find out what the product does and how its functionality is facilitated. 4. Failure Analysis: Investigate elements that may not fulfill their intended function. 5. Risk analysis: Evaluate severity, occurrence, and detection of each failure chain. 6. Optimization: Develop actions that reduce risk and increase customer satisfaction by improving
