In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a range of fascinating topics that showcase the advancements in technology and the challenges they present. We begin with the rise of Mistral AI, a Paris-based artificial intelligence company that has quickly become a notable player in the development of large language models. With its open-source approach and strategic partnerships, Mistral AI is attracting significant investor interest, as reflected in its increasing valuation.
Next, we'll look into OpenAI's exploration of generating Not Safe for Work content, marking a shift from its previous stance. As the organization behind AI innovations like ChatGPT and DALL-E, OpenAI aims to provide users with more flexibility while maintaining guidelines to prevent misuse. We also explore the world of whale communication, where researchers are employing artificial intelligence to decipher the complex language of these marine mammals. From Project CETI to the Earth Species Project, these endeavors are uncovering the intricate patterns and potential phonetic alphabet within whale vocalizations, challenging our understanding of non-human communication.
Moving from the ocean to space, we discuss NASA's Pulsed Plasma Rocket propulsion system, developed in collaboration with Howe Industries. This technology aims to reduce travel time to Mars while enabling the transportation of heavier, better-shielded spacecraft. Finally, we address the growing security concern of drone deliveries to prisons, which have become a global issue. As drones are increasingly used to smuggle contraband into correctional facilities, we explore the various countermeasures being developed and the legal and technological challenges that must be overcome to combat this threat.

In a significant development for internet regulation, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially restored net neutrality rules, reclassifying broadband internet as a utility-like service and prohibiting practices like throttling, blocking, or paid prioritization of online content. This decision has been met with praise from consumer advocacy groups but strong opposition from the telecommunications industry. Meanwhile, early reviews of the Rabbit R1, a novel AI-powered gadget, present a mixed but generally optimistic view of its potential to simplify tasks and reduce screen time through its ability to learn from user interactions. However, the device is still in its early stages, with some features not functioning as advertised.
On the automotive front, electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker Inc. is facing severe financial difficulties and may seek bankruptcy protection within the next 30 days due to a critical shortage of funds and inability to meet its debt obligations. The company has faced production issues with its Fisker Ocean SUV, workforce reductions, and a plummeting stock price. In the realm of archaeology, researchers have made a significant discovery regarding the burial site of ancient Greek philosopher Plato, utilizing advanced imaging and AI technologies to decipher carbonized papyrus scrolls from Herculaneum. The texts indicate that Plato was buried in a private garden at the Platonic Academy in Athens and shed light on a tumultuous period in his life.
Finally, the hunt for the hypothetical Planet 9 in the outer solar system continues, with recent research providing new evidence and insights. A study analyzing the orbits of Neptune-crossing objects shows their alignment with predictions of models that include Planet 9, while other analyses have narrowed down the search area. An indirect detection approach suggests looking for potential satellites of Planet 9, as tidal heating effects could make them detectable in the infrared. Astronomers will continue scanning the outer solar system in hopes of finally spotting this elusive giant planet.

In today's episode of Discover Daily, we're navigating the intersection of technology and policy, starting with the potential ban of TikTok in the United States. President Joe Biden's recent legislative action could force TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban, stirring up a storm of controversy and debate. We'll examine the paradox of the Biden campaign's use of TikTok for voter engagement amidst national security concerns and the company's vow to challenge the ban in court.
Next, we shift our focus to Apple's groundbreaking OpenELM project, which introduces a new family of open-source large language models designed to run locally on devices. This innovative approach promises to enhance privacy and processing speed, marking a significant shift from cloud-based AI. We'll discuss the features and capabilities of OpenELM, its integration with iOS 18, and what this means for the future of on-device AI technologies.
Finally, we'll delve into the fiery realm of robotics with the Thermonator, a flamethrower-equipped robotic dog developed by Throwflame. Built on the Unitree Go1 platform, the Thermonator raises ethical questions and concerns about the weaponization of robotic technologies. We'll also touch on Nvidia's strategic acquisition of the AI startup Run:ai and wrap up with the long-awaited introduction of a native Calculator app for the iPad in the upcoming iPadOS 18 release. Join us as we explore these fascinating developments that are shaping the tech landscape.
