28 Mar 2024Amazon Invests $4B in AI's Anthropic, Truth Social's Inflated Valuation, and Climate Change Affects Earth's Rotation00:06:17

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore three fascinating stories from the worlds of tech, business, and science:

  1. Amazon's $4 Billion AI Bet: We discuss Amazon's massive investment in AI startup Anthropic, the makers of the impressive Claude chatbot. This move underscores the intense competition among tech giants to gain an edge in the rapidly evolving field of generative AI.

  2. Truth Social's Inflated Valuation: We examine the inflated market valuation of Truth Social, which soared to around $11 billion on its first day of trading despite the company's modest revenue and user base. Many experts believe this high valuation is driven by investor enthusiasm rather than fundamentals, drawing comparisons to the "meme stock" phenomenon.

  3. Climate Change Slows Earth's Rotation: We delve into the surprising impact of global warming on Earth's rotation. Research shows that melting polar ice due to climate change is redistributing mass towards the equator, slowing down the planet's spin. This has implications for global timekeeping, potentially delaying the need for a negative leap second and causing headaches for computer systems. It's a powerful reminder of the far-reaching effects of human-caused climate change on our planet.

26 Apr 2024FCC Revives Net Neutrality, Fisker's Financial Woes, and Plato's Burial Site Revealed00:08:12

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

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.

28 May 2024Musk’s xAI Raises $6B, Internet Archive DDoS Attack, GPT-4 Outperforms Analysts, Crows Count, and New Biology Rulle00:06:33

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

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.
