00:00Hello, Tech Enthusiasts. This is Daily World Podcast's technology update for April 14,
00:162025. I'm Angela, bringing you the latest from Silicon Valley and beyond.
00:23Chat GPT has launched a new feature that enables it to remember
00:27past interactions with users, enhancing personalized experiences,
00:31and improving user engagement by retaining context from previous conversations.
00:37In the gaming industry, Sony has raised the price of its PlayStation 5 by 25 percent,
00:43with the digital edition now priced at Β£429.99 in the UK and β¬499.99 in Europe.
00:52This decision is attributed to the economic impact of tariffs implemented by President
00:56Donald Trump, alongside high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates. The standard PS5
01:02price remains unchanged, but Sony plans to implement price increases across Europe,
01:07Australia, and New Zealand, by at least 10 percent as it navigates global economic challenges.
01:13In the electric vehicle sector, US sales rose by 11 percent in the first quarter of 2025,
01:19reaching approximately 300,000 units. However, Tesla's market share has decreased from 51 percent
01:26to 44 percent, as other manufacturers including GM have seen significant growth in their electric
01:31vehicle sales. The future of EV sales may be influenced by potential new tariffs and changing
01:37market dynamics. A debate on intellectual property laws has emerged, led by Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk,
01:44with Dorsey advocating for their elimination, and Musk expressing support. Their comments come amid
01:50ongoing lawsuits against AI companies regarding copyright violations, raising questions about the
01:55implications for creators and innovation. YouTube is considering a feature that would allow users
02:02to set a daily timer to manage their time spent on shorts, addressing concerns about social media
02:07addiction. Although not currently in public testing, this initiative aligns with the growing trend of
02:13users seeking tools to manage screen time. Microsoft has issued a warning to Windows 11 users about a
02:20newly created InetHub folder linked to a security fix. Users who have deleted this folder are advised to
02:27restore it through the control panel to avoid leaving a vulnerability open to local attackers.
02:33In space technology, Etherflux, a startup founded by Robinhood co-founder Bayju Bat, plans to demonstrate a
02:40method of beaming solar power from space to Earth using infrared lasers by 2026. The company has raised $50
02:48million in series of funding and aims to create a constellation of small satellites to transmit power to
02:54portable ground stations, targeting remote areas and military operations. The Bank of England has raised concerns
03:01regarding the use of generative AI in financial markets, warning that it could lead to herd behavior among
03:06trading algorithms and amplify stock market volatility. The report highlights potential accountability issues
03:12for firms using these black box systems. DeepSeq has announced its intention to open source components of its
03:20internal inference engine, focusing on standalone features and optimizations rather than the entire code base. This move aims to
03:28collaborate with existing open source projects and enhance the ecosystem while continuing to develop advanced AI
03:35models. Open AI is implementing a verified organization ID verification process for organizations seeking access to
03:44advanced AI models through its API. This measure is designed to enhance security and prevent misuse of AI technologies.
03:52In South Korea, former Governor Lee Yi Myung has announced a $74 billion AI strategy aimed at establishing the
04:00nation as a leading AI power. The plan includes developing national GPU clusters, fostering indigenous NPU
04:08research, and creating a public access large language model for citizens, alongside regulatory reforms to support AI
04:15innovation and international collaboration. We've reached the end of our technology coverage on Daily World
