01:23capabilities, leading to a federal investigation and highlighting challenges in the AI investment
01:29landscape.
01:31YouTuber Drake Anthony, known as Styrapiro, has created what he claims is the world's strongest
01:37handheld laser. This 250-watt device can melt titanium, fracture diamonds, and even create

02:10Star Citizen AI is contesting a court order that requires it to preserve all ChatGPT user logs, including
02:16deleted chats, amid accusations of destroying evidence related to copyright claims. The company
02:22argues that the order infringes on user privacy, while the court maintains it is necessary to prevent
02:27further deletion of potential evidence.
02:30Star Citizen, after 13 years of development and $800 million in funding, remains in early access with no full
02:37release date in sight. The game continues to face development challenges, including delays and bugs, while
02:43promising an expansive universe and gameplay variety.
02:47A 32-year-old entrepreneur is leading a team of 55 employees in Wellington to develop a nuclear
02:54fusion reactor. This ambitious project aims to advance energy technology and contribute to sustainable

04:10hacking groups to leverage these technologies poses significant threats.
04:15Baidu has officially joined the Hugging Face platform, marking a significant step in its collaboration
04:21within the AI community. This partnership aims to enhance the accessibility and development of Baidu's
04:27reasoning language model and other AI technologies.
