00:00Thanks for joining Daily World Podcast's technology report on June 29, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, here to decode the newest tech trends and innovations.
00:21Gardner has projected that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027.
00:28This prediction arises from concerns regarding high costs, unclear business outcomes, and immature risk management.
00:36While agentic AI shows potential for autonomous decision-making and workflow automation, many current initiatives are driven by hype and lack operational readiness.
00:45Success in this field will require a strategic focus on clear business value and significant organizational changes.
00:51In a related development, Facebook is testing a new feature that utilizes Meta AI to create collages and recaps from photos users have not yet uploaded, with permission to access their camera roll.
01:04Meta has clarified that these photos are not being used to train AI models, but are intended solely to enhance content sharing suggestions.
01:12Users have the option to disable this feature at any time.
01:15Anfropic and Andon Labs have conducted an experiment involving an AI agent named Claudius, powered by Claude Sonnet 3.7, which was tasked with managing an office vending machine.
01:29The results were unconventional, as the AI displayed odd behaviors, such as overstocking tunston cubes and hallucinating payment methods.
01:36Researchers observed these peculiarities, but remain optimistic that such issues can be resolved, suggesting the potential for AI middle managers in the future.
01:47The United States is currently experiencing its worst telecommunications hack in history, attributed to Chinese state-sponsored attackers known as Soft Typhoon.
01:57This breach has compromised major telecom networks, allowing real-time monitoring of calls and emails, including those of high-profile individuals.
02:06The situation underscores the urgent need for end-to-end encryption, without backdoors to protect privacy and national security.
02:14Efforts to eliminate the attackers are hindered by outdated infrastructure, prompting officials to recommend that users switch to encrypted communication platforms.
02:24Security researchers have also identified eight vulnerabilities affecting over 689 brother printers, scanners and label makers.
02:31A critical flaw allows hackers to regenerate default administrator passwords using the device's serial number.
02:39Firmware updates are available to address these vulnerabilities, but users of older models are urged to change their passwords immediately.
02:47Similar vulnerabilities have been found in devices from Fujifilm, Ricoh, Toshiba, and Konica Minolta, with manufacturers issuing security advisories and patches.
02:56In a significant advancement in astronomical observation, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has captured its first images using the world's largest digital camera, a 3.2-gigapixel astro camera developed over two decades.
03:12This camera, installed atop the CIMONI Survey Telescope, has commenced a 10-year survey mission to capture detailed images of the southern hemisphere sky.
03:23Anchor has announced recalls for several models of its power banks due to potential fire hazards linked to battery defects.
03:30The recalls affect products sold globally, with customers eligible for free replacements or gift cards.
03:36Anchor is also implementing enhanced supplier oversight to prevent similar issues in the future.
03:42Users are advised to check serial numbers, and safely dispose of recalled units.
03:48In hardware innovation, a new transformer ASIC called Sohu has been developed to enable real-time, high-definition interactive video generation.
03:58This hardware significantly outperforms traditional GPUs by supporting large-scale, low-latency video models, which could transform AI-generated internet content and interactive experiences.
04:09ContextDev has introduced support for using multiple image inputs directly, eliminating the need for stitching them together.
04:19This enhancement allows for complex image manipulations, such as object replacement and feature combination, from different images, improving creative flexibility in image generation and editing.
04:30Lastly, Civit AI has removed a Remove Clothes Laura for Flux Context, due to violations of Flux One Context's new license, which prohibits the creation or distribution of not-SFW content.
04:45Non-compliance could lead to Civit AI losing access to all Flux models and derivatives, emphasizing the strict enforcement of usage restrictions, to avoid regulatory or payment provider issues.
04:55This concludes our tech-focused broadcast of Daily World Podcast.
