  • Welcome to a new episode of Discover Daily, the AI-generated podcast curated by Perplexity to satisfy your curiosity about the latest in tech, science, and culture. I'm your host Alex, and in today's episode, we'll explore a range of fascinating topics.

    Elon Musk's AI company xAI has raised $6 billion in a Series B funding round, with participation from notable investors. This values the company at $18-24 billion and will support bringing initial products to market, building infrastructure, and accelerating R&D. xAI has already launched the Grok chatbot and plans to build a supercomputer to further develop its AI capabilities.

    The Internet Archive, a nonprofit digital library, was hit by a DDoS attack on May 27, 2024, temporarily disrupting access to its services. After about an hour, service was restored. The motives remain unclear, but the attack was criticized on social media.

    Recent studies have shown that crows can count using vocalizations, producing specific numbers of caws in response to numerical cues. Their counting abilities resemble those of human toddlers, challenging assumptions about animal cognition and numerical abilities.

    Finally, biologist John Tower has proposed the concept of "selectively advantageous instability" (SAI), arguing that some instability in biological components is essential for life. SAI allows for genetic diversity and adaptability but also contributes to aging. This new rule of biology could have broad implications for our understanding of life's processes.

  • In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a range of topics from the tech world and beyond. We begin with the potential sale of Humane Inc., a startup working on an AI-powered wearable device called the AI Pin. Despite significant funding and high-profile partnerships, the company has faced challenges, leading to a potential sale. We then move on to Nvidia's impressive first-quarter results, with the company's stock surging past $1,000 per share due to a 427% increase in data center revenue driven by AI demand.

    Next, we celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first real-world Bitcoin transaction on May 22, 2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. We also discuss China's new AI chatbot, 'Chat Xi PT,' based on President Xi Jinping's political philosophy to ensure compliance with socialist values.

    Finally, we examine the increasing concern of extreme air turbulence, particularly clear-air turbulence, largely attributed to climate change. Studies indicate severe turbulence has increased by 55% between 1979 and 2020 on busy North Atlantic routes, with projections suggesting further increases. We also pay tribute to Gordon Bell, a pioneering figure in computer architecture who made significant contributions to computing, including his work at Digital Equipment Corporation and his role in the development of the internet.

  • Welcome to a new episode of Discover Daily, the AI-generated podcast curated by Perplexity to satisfy your curiosity about the latest in tech, science, and culture. In today's episode, we delve into the controversy surrounding OpenAI's lifetime non-disparagement policy, which has sparked significant debate within the tech community. This policy prevents former employees from criticizing the company for life, raising questions about its enforceability and alignment with OpenAI's mission of transparency. CEO Sam Altman has since announced that the company will no longer include this clause in future exit agreements, aiming to restore trust and accountability.

    Next, we explore Blue Origin's successful return to crewed spaceflights with the NS-25 mission. This mission marked a significant milestone after a nearly two-year hiatus and included Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate, who became the oldest person to fly in space at 90 years old. Despite a minor parachute issue, the mission was a success, highlighting Blue Origin's commitment to advancing space tourism and overcoming technical challenges to ensure safety.

    We also discuss the exciting rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim, which suggest a significant redesign for Apple's 2025 lineup. The new model is expected to be significantly thinner, feature a 6.6-inch display, and have a relocated rear camera layout. Additionally, we delve into the extension of the periodic table, where scientists are working to discover new elements beyond those currently known.

    Finally, we touch on Theory of Mind tests, which assess social cognition and the ability to understand others' mental states. These tests are crucial for understanding developmental psychology and have been instrumental in studying conditions like autism.
