00:00Welcome to Daily World Podcast, Tech Edition on May 22nd, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, here with an in-depth look at the latest breakthroughs in technology and innovation.
00:22Children are reportedly using images of public figures, including President Donald Trump and
00:27YouTuber Markiplier, to bypass age verification measures in the virtual reality game Gorilla
00:33Tag. This game, popular among younger audiences, faces challenges in adhering to laws designed to
00:40protect children online as it navigates age restrictions and safety regulations.
00:45In a significant advancement for energy efficiency, researchers from Johns Hopkins APL and Samsung
00:52have developed a new thermoelectric cooling technology that can improve refrigerator
00:56efficiency by up to 70%. This innovation utilizes advanced semiconductor materials and has the
01:03potential to revolutionize energy-efficient refrigeration while enabling devices to
01:08harvest power from their ambient environment. Klarna CEO, Sebastian Simiakowski, recently presented
01:16the company's quarterly earnings using an AI avatar, highlighting the startup's identity as an AI
01:21company. This innovative approach has contributed to Klarna's growth, achieving 100 million users and
01:27marking its fourth consecutive profitable quarter, even as the company has significantly reduced its
01:32workforce. A report has revealed that many stolen iPhones from the US and Europe are resold or
01:39dismantled in a building in Shenzhen, China, often referred to as this stolen iPhone building.
01:44Victims have tracked their stolen devices to this location, where both locked and unlocked phones are
01:49sold, leading to attempted blackmail of original owners via iMessage.
01:55Researchers have developed an AI-based weather tool named Aurora, that significantly outperforms existing
02:01weather prediction systems. Aurora uses machine learning to provide accurate forecasts for tropical cyclones,
02:07air pollution and ocean waves, enhancing weather forecasting capabilities, especially as climate change
02:13leads to more extreme weather events. In the electric vehicle market, BYD has surpassed Tesla in sales in
02:21Europe for the first time, registering 7,231 fully electric cars, compared to Tesla's 7,165. This milestone
02:30reflects BYD's rapid expansion into European markets amidst Tesla's declining sales, attributed to an aging
02:37product lineup, and increased competition from other automakers.
02:42Motorola has confirmed a delay in the launch of the Razer 2025 at Verizon, originally set for May 15, now rescheduled
02:51to May 22. The cause of the delay remains unclear, with unverified rumors suggesting potential issues, including claims of a fire hazard, although these have been deemed unlikely.
03:02Coinbase has reported a data breach affecting at least 69,461 customers, where hackers bribed customer
03:11support staff to access sensitive data. The breach, which began in December 2024, has led to a ransom demand
03:19of $20 million from the attackers.
03:21Renowned designer Joni Ive is joining OpenAI through a deal valued at $6.5 billion, merging his startup with the AI company.
03:31Ive will lead design efforts to create devices featuring generative AI capabilities, aiming to innovate the future of AI and computing.
03:40Signal Messenger has announced it will block the screenshotting capabilities of its Windows desktop app due to privacy concerns associated with Microsoft's Recall tool, which captures and stores user activity.
03:52Despite Microsoft's attempts to improve Recall security, Signal argues that the tool poses risks to user privacy.
04:01OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed that it is cool that young people are turning to ChatGPT for life advice, highlighting a trend of over-reliance on AI.
04:10Critics argue that this reliance can lead to unhealthy relationships with technology, as AI cannot replace genuine human connections or understand complex emotions.
04:20A gaming YouTuber has raised concerns that an AI-generated clone of his voice is being used to narrate videos related to the game Doom without his consent.
04:29This incident underscores the growing issues surrounding voice cloning technology and its implications for content creators.
04:36OpenAI is acquiring Joni Ive Startupio for $6.5 billion, marking its largest acquisition to date.
04:45The focus of this acquisition is to develop hardware specifically designed for AI interactions, aiming to create a more natural experience in everyday life.
04:54OpenAI has secured $11.6 billion in funding for a massive data center in Abilene, Texas, which will house up to 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell chips.
05:06This project, part of the Stargate initiative, aims to reduce OpenAI's reliance on external providers, and is backed by a total investment commitment of $15 billion.
05:17Details have leaked about a new, screen-free device being developed by OpenAI in collaboration with Joni Ive.
05:25This pocket-sized device is designed to be contextually aware, and aims to shift away from traditional screens, with plans for a release by late 2026.
05:36OpenAI's acquisition of Joni Ive's startup EO aims to create a new generation of AI-powered consumer devices, intensifying competition with Apple.
05:45The first devices from this collaboration are expected to debut in 2026.
05:52In a broader discussion on AI, the founder of Cooley predicts that AI-assisted cheating in interviews will become commonplace, leading to a greater emphasis on cultural fit over technical skills.
06:05This concludes our tech-focused broadcast of Daily World podcast.
