00:00Hello and welcome to Daily World Podcast's Tech Deep Dive.
00:13It's May 10, 2025, and I'm Angela, ready to explore the cutting edge of digital innovation.
00:22Adafruit, a Brooklyn-based electronics company, is facing an unexpected tariff bill of $36,000,
00:27demanding payment within a week. This sudden financial burden highlights the challenges
00:33tariffs pose for small businesses in the tech industry. In a related development, the IRS is
00:39planning to enhance its tax collection efforts through the use of artificial intelligence,
00:44following significant staff reductions. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated that while there
00:49are concerns over workforce cuts, he is confident that AI can maintain robust revenue collections,
00:55although specifics regarding its implementation remain unclear.
01:00Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince has raised alarms about the impact of AI and zero-click searches on
01:05the traditional business model of the web. He noted that the rise of AI-generated answers
01:11is diminishing the incentive for content creators as fewer users are clicking through to original
01:16sources, potentially leading to a crisis for online content production. In technology updates,
01:23the Linux kernel has announced it will discontinue support for the i486 CPU, which has not been
01:29manufactured for 18 years. Linus Torvald stated there is no reason to continue supporting outdated
01:34technology, which will lead to improvements in the kernel's efficiency.
01:39The latest update to the LAMA server, has introduced vision support through the integration of LibD,
01:45allowing the server to process image tokens alongside text tokens.
01:49This enhancement enables users to upload images via the web UI, and utilize image URLs and API calls,
01:57expanding the server's functionality for multimodal interactions.
02:01Google Messages for Android is rolling out a new feature that allows users to delete messages for
02:07everyone in group RCS conversations. This feature, along with Universal Profile 2.7, enables users to edit,
02:14recall, and delete messages, although it may not be available to all users or in smaller chats yet.
02:21A recent study published in Nature reveals that a single transistor can effectively model a neuron,
02:28which could revolutionize the design of artificial neural networks. This breakthrough may lead to more
02:33energy-efficient processors and advanced neuromorphic computing systems, although it does not suggest
02:39immediate superhuman capabilities in computers. TinyCorp has developed a solution for connecting AMD
02:47external GPUs via USB 3.0 to Apple silicon devices, enhancing graphics performance for users,
02:53and providing a more flexible computing experience.
02:58Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman has warned that the rise of AI bots is threatening the platform's unique human-led
03:03communities, which she considers its main competitive advantage. In response, Reddit plans to implement
03:10new measures to ensure user authenticity and maintain the integrity of its forums.
03:16IkeEdit, an open-source image editing framework, has achieved high efficiency, with only 1% of the
03:23trainable parameters and 0.1% of the training data, compared to previous models. It outperforms commercial
03:30alternatives like Gemini and GPT-40 in terms of speed cost and character ID consistency, marking a
03:37significant advancement in generative AI for image editing. A recent audit by NewsGuard has found that
03:43many Western AI chatbots are unknowingly spreading Russian propaganda, with a Moscow-based disinformation
03:50network manipulating AI training data to amplify misleading narratives. The study revealed that 10 leading
03:57chatbots repeated false narratives from Pravda 33% of the time, raising concerns about the subtle and
04:03pervasive nature of this manipulation in AI systems. You've been listening to Daily World Podcasts
04:11Technology Update. I'm Angela signing off. Until next time, keep exploring the frontiers of tech.
