00:59human workers.
01:01Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook has reached out to Texas Governor Greg Abbott regarding proposed
01:06online child safety laws that would limit social media use for minors.
01:11Cook requested modifications or the dismissal of the legislation, citing concerns over privacy
01:16and user safety.
01:17President Trump aims to revive U.S. manufacturing jobs, but experts note a conflict as his tech
01:24allies invest in automation and robotics that may replace human workers.
01:29This highlights the tension between job creation efforts and the increasing reliance on technology
01:34and manufacturing.
01:35Gabe Newell's startup, Starfish Neuroscience, is set to release its first brain chip later
01:41this year, focusing on less invasive brain computer interfaces that can access multiple
01:46brain regions.
01:48This innovation aims to record and stimulate brain activity for therapeutic purposes, distinguishing
01:54it from competitors like Neuralink.
01:57X has experienced another outage due to a fire at its Oregon data center, affecting user access
02:03access to the platform, and raising concerns about the reliability of data infrastructure.
02:08In a related trend, CEOs are increasingly using AI avatars for earnings calls, with Zoom CEO
02:14Eric Yuan being one of the latest to adopt this technology, emphasizing innovation in communication.
02:21Researchers from security firm Legit have demonstrated vulnerabilities in GitLab's AI developer
02:26assistant Duo, which can be manipulated to insert malicious code through prompt injections.
02:31This incident underscores the risks associated with AI tools in development workflows.
02:39Netflix plans to end support for the oldest Amazon Fire TV devices on June 3rd, affecting users of the
02:45first-generation Fire TV streaming box and Fire TV stick.
02:49Amazon is offering discounts on new Fire TV sticks for those impacted by this change.
02:53Amazon has unveiled a prototype PCIe 6.0 SSD, the Micron 9650 Pro, capable of reaching 30.25 GB
03:05per second in RAID and RAID speeds, which is double the current fastest consumer SSDs.
03:11However, it remains in the testing phase, and is not yet intended for consumer use.
03:16Qubbold has introduced a new cross-platform AI assistant, designed to operate locally on users' devices,
03:23ensuring privacy and personalization, without compromising data. The project encourages
03:29contributions from privacy advocates to enhance its development.
03:32In a controversial statement, Google co-founder Sergey Brin suggested that AI models perform better when
03:39threatened, raising ethical concerns about interactions with AI. This discussion continues
03:45to highlight the risks and responsibilities associated with advancing AI technology.
03:49The Sand AI team has released a smaller version of their MAGI 1 model, now available on Hugging Face,
03:57generating interest in the AI community. Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has noted significant
04:04progress in world models, particularly the VO3 AI video model, which simulates physical reality and
04:11contributes to understanding general intelligence. He advocates for systems that learn through interaction
04:17and experience, which could lead to breakthroughs in AI capabilities.
04:23You've been listening to Daily World Podcast's technology update. I'm Angela signing off.
04:28Until next time, keep exploring the frontiers of tech.
