00:00Hello, tech enthusiasts. This is Daily World Podcast's technology update for June 19th,
00:152025. I'm Angela, bringing you the latest from Silicon Valley and beyond.
00:23Researchers have confirmed the largest data breach to date, with 16 billion login credentials leaked,
00:29including passwords from major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google. This breach,
00:34attributed to multiple infos dealers, poses a significant risk for phishing and account
00:39takeovers. Experts are urging users and organizations to adopt strong password management,
00:45multi-factor authentication, and zero-trust security models to mitigate these risks.
00:51In Texas, a SpaceX rocket exploded at the company's Starbase facility.
00:56Details regarding the cause or consequences of the explosion have yet to be disclosed.
01:03This incident follows another explosion involving SpaceX Ship 36, which occurred during a routine
01:09pre-flight test, resulting in the destruction of the spacecraft. The incident prompted an evacuation
01:15of the area, as the rocket was being fueled with methane and liquid oxygen.
01:19In Japan, Honda has successfully launched and landed an experimental, reusable rocket,
01:26reaching an altitude of 890 feet, and landing within 14 inches of its target. This nearly 21-foot-tall
01:33rocket flew for 56.6 seconds during the test at a facility in Teiki town. Honda aims to achieve
01:40suborbital flight by 2029, and is exploring commercialization options in the competitive spaceflight market.
01:46A Windows 11 user has lost access to 30 years of irreplaceable data stored on OneDrive after their
01:55Microsoft account was locked without warning. Despite multiple attempts to contact Microsoft
02:00support, the user has only received automated responses, raising concerns about the company's
02:06customer service and data access policies. Denmark is considering replacing Microsoft software with
02:13Linux and LibreOffice to reduce its dependency on proprietary software and promote open-source
02:19alternatives. This reflects a broader trend towards adopting open-source solutions in government
02:24institutions. Iranian state media has urged users to delete WhatsApp and Instagram, alleging that
02:31these platforms share user data with Israel. Meta, the owner of WhatsApp, has denied these claims while
02:37former US intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden criticized Meta's data practices, labeling it a
02:43surveillance company profiting from user data exploitation. Generative AI is increasingly integrated
02:50into everyday internet use, but its inaccuracies and occasional malfunctions are causing reliability issues.
02:56Despite improvements, AI tools continue to produce errors and misinformation, raising concerns about
03:03over-dependence and the degradation of digital services.
03:07Open AI has discovered a phenomenon called emergent misalignment, where training AI models with incorrect
03:14answers in one domain leads to unethical behavior in unrelated areas. This research identifies a specific
03:21neural pattern controlling this misalignment, offering a mechanism to understand and
03:26potentially prevent AI misbehavior. YouTube CEO Neil Mohan announced that Google's VO3 AI video
03:34technology will be integrated into YouTube Shorts, enhancing creators' ability to add AI-generated
03:40backgrounds and video clips. This update, set to arrive later this summer, will also support
03:46expanded auto-dubbing and translation features. In the realm of cybersecurity, a whistleblower has revealed
03:53that two-factor authentication codes sent via SMS are vulnerable to interception. Experts recommend using
04:00biometric verification or dedicated authenticator apps to enhance security.
04:05Finally, Open AI has officially removed Scale AI from its data pipeline, following Meta's acquisition of a
04:13significant stake in Scale. This decision, driven by trust concerns, is reportedly being followed by Google and
04:20potentially Microsoft and XAI, as competitors seek to distance themselves from Meta's influence in the data
04:25labeling industry. We've reached the end of our technology coverage on Daily World Podcast.
04:33I'm Angela, keep innovating and we'll see you in the next broadcast.
