00:00Welcome to Daily World Podcast, Tech Edition on May 6, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, here with an in-depth look at the latest breakthroughs in technology and innovation.
00:22Mark Zuckerberg is currently facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission
00:26that could challenge Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.
00:30The FTC claims these acquisitions eliminate competition in the tech industry.
00:35During the trial, Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook has shifted away from its original purpose of connecting friends and family,
00:42now focusing on content driven by algorithms.
00:45The outcome of this trial could significantly impact the future of digital platforms.
00:49Oregon State University's Open Source Lab is confronting a critical funding shortage of $250,000
00:57due to federal funding cutbacks affecting higher education in the United States.
01:02The lab, which has supported numerous open source projects over its 22-year history,
01:07is at risk of jeopardizing its operations and the essential services it provides to the open source community.
01:13In cybersecurity news, the encrypted messaging app telemessage used by former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz
01:21has temporarily suspended its services following a reported hack.
01:25The breach raises concerns about the app's security and its ability to archive messages for compliance
01:30as sensitive data may have been compromised.
01:34Despite advancements in artificial intelligence technology,
01:37newer systems from companies like OpenAI and Google are experiencing increased rates of hallucinations
01:44where they produce incorrect information.
01:47This phenomenon raises concerns about the reliability of AI systems,
01:51especially in critical applications,
01:54as these systems struggle to balance improved capabilities with factual accuracy.
02:00Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Air is set to be extremely thin,
02:04but this design may come at the cost of battery life,
02:06with only 60-70% of users able to last a full day without recharging.
02:11The phone will feature a single rear camera and speaker,
02:14and Apple may sell a battery case to compensate for the reduced battery capacity,
02:18raising questions about the overall value of this model.
02:23Latvian startup Origin Robotics has introduced Blaze,
02:26an autonomous interceptor drone designed to destroy enemy drones
02:29by either ramming into them or self-detonating.
02:32The drone can be deployed quickly from a briefcase-sized launch pad,
02:36and is equipped with advanced computer vision and radar systems
02:40to accurately identify and target UAVs,
02:43making it a cost-effective solution for modern warfare.
02:47A supply chain attack has compromised hundreds of e-commerce sites,
02:51allowing malware to execute malicious code on visitors' browsers,
02:55potentially stealing sensitive payment information.
02:57Security researchers reported that at least 500 sites were infected,
03:02with the attack linked to three software providers
03:04associated with the Magento platform.
03:07The malware had been dormant for six years before becoming active recently.
03:12A coalition of over 250 CEOs and technology leaders
03:16is advocating for mandatory computer science and AI education
03:20in US K-12 schools through the initiative Unlock 8.
03:23The campaign emphasizes the importance of these skills for future job markets,
03:28and aims to increase the percentage of students taking computer science courses,
03:32which currently stands at only 6.4 percent.
03:37OpenAI has announced it will maintain its non-profit status,
03:41and will not transition to a for-profit entity,
03:43after discussions with civic leaders and state attorneys general.
03:47The company will convert its commercial subsidiary into a public benefit corporation,
03:51allowing for unlimited investor returns while ensuring the non-profit retains control and oversight.
03:57This shift aims to facilitate future fundraising efforts
04:00and align with OpenAI's mission to democratize artificial general intelligence.
04:07The RTX Pro 6000 graphics card has been officially released,
04:11and is now available for purchase at a price of 9,000 euros.
04:14Mark Andresen, co-founder of Andresen Horowitz, argues that while AI can enhance capabilities,
04:29it cannot replace the human intuition and artistry required in venture capital.
04:33He believes that the role of a VC is inherently human,
04:37and involves a unique skill, set that AI cannot replicate,
04:41despite evidence that AI may already be providing better business advice.
04:46OpenAI has reversed its decision to restructure,
04:50by allowing its non-profit arm to retain control over its AI products,
04:54following significant public backlash and legal pressures.
04:57The new plan, which must be approved by state attorneys general,
05:03while transitioning the for-profit subsidiary into a public benefit corporation,
05:08allowing it to prioritize both societal and shareholder interests.
05:13That concludes today's technology update on Daily World Podcast.
05:18I'm Angela, encouraging you to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
