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.

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore the implementation of remote kill switches in advanced chip-making machines by ASML and TSMC to prevent sophisticated technologies from falling into the wrong hands in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. We also discuss the European Union's approval of the world's first comprehensive legal framework for AI, known as the AI Act, which aims to regulate AI technologies based on their potential risks and impacts, ensuring the development of safe and trustworthy AI systems while protecting the rights of EU citizens.

Next, we look into Volvo's autonomous semi-truck initiatives, which are part of a broader strategy to revolutionize the transportation industry through advanced technology and sustainable solutions. Volvo's flagship model for autonomous trucking, the Volvo VNL, is being integrated with the Aurora Driver's sensor suite to build fully autonomous Class 8 trucks for commercial use in North America. We also explore the potential of light-based computer chips, which utilize photons to perform computations, offering advantages in speed, energy efficiency, and data bandwidth compared to traditional electronic chips.

Finally, we discuss the groundbreaking detection of the most distant black hole merger ever observed, which occurred when the Universe was only 740 million years old. This discovery, made by an international team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope, provides evidence that black hole mergers were already occurring at such an early stage in the Universe's history, suggesting that merging is a crucial mechanism for the rapid growth of black holes, even at cosmic dawn.

In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore Microsoft's new AI-powered PCs branded as "Copilot+PC," which integrate on-device AI capabilities and cloud-based large language models to enhance performance and user experience. These PCs feature Qualcomm's X Elite SoC with a powerful Neural Processing Unit and innovative features like "Recall" for logging user activities. We also discuss the controversy surrounding OpenAI's ChatGPT voice model, which closely resembled Scarlett Johansson's voice, leading to legal concerns and broader discussions about the ethical implications of AI voice models and deepfakes.

Next, we look into Scarlett Johansson's legal battle over the unauthorized use of her voice and likeness in an AI-generated advertisement by the app Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook & Avatar. Johansson's strong reaction highlights the need for stricter regulations to prevent the misuse of AI-generated content. We then cover Neuralink's FDA approval for a second human trial of its brain-computer interface, aiming to help individuals with severe paralysis regain control over digital devices.

Finally, we discuss Tanzania's ambitious plans to establish its first space agency and launch its inaugural satellite, and the viral TikTok trend of "smellmaxxing," where users share tips to enhance their body scent through colognes and hygiene practices.

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.

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 explore significant changes at OpenAI, a historic milestone for the Dow Jones, the ambitious goals of the Blue Brain Project, the puzzling behavior of orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar, and the evolutionary remnants of goosebumps.

OpenAI has recently disbanded its Superalignment team, raising concerns about the company's commitment to AI safety. This team was dedicated to ensuring that artificial general intelligence systems remain aligned with human goals. Despite the departure of key figures like Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, OpenAI continues to integrate safety considerations into its broader research efforts. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed the 40,000 mark for the first time, driven by easing inflation and significant gains in technology stocks, particularly those associated with artificial intelligence.

The Blue Brain Project aims to create a digital reconstruction of the mammalian brain, starting with the mouse brain, to understand brain structure and function. Despite its achievements, the project faces challenges such as the complexity of simulations and ethical considerations. Additionally, orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar have resumed ramming yachts, puzzling scientists with their behavior. Lastly, we discuss the evolutionary remnants of goosebumps, a vestigial reflex inherited from our animal ancestors.
