00:00Thanks for joining Daily World Podcast's Technology Report on July 8th, 2025.

00:15I'm Angela, here to decode the newest tech trends and innovations.

00:22Ubisoft has updated its end-user license agreement, requiring users to uninstall and destroy all

00:28copies of a game once the company terminates support for it. This decision has drawn criticism

00:33from fans, particularly in light of Ubisoft's financial struggles and its recent partnership

00:39with Tencent. The new EULA places the onus on consumers to stay informed about changes and

00:45comply with potentially unreasonable terms. The Federal Communications Commission has regained

00:51authority to conduct Spectrum auctions, a move that could impact Wi-Fi networks by reallocating

00:57Spectrum to mobile carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. This new law signed by President

01:04Donald Trump includes provisions affecting the 6 GHz band and Citizens Broadband Radio Service,

01:11which are critical for broadband delivery, especially in rural areas.

01:16In the tech hiring landscape, GitHub CEO Thomas Doan stated that leading companies will increase

01:22their hiring of software engineers to harness AI-enhanced productivity, rather than reducing

01:27their workforce. He emphasized that AI serves as a multiplier for engineering talent, enhancing

01:33efficiency and creating demand for skilled professionals.

01:38Jack Dorsey has launched BitShot, a decentralized messaging app that operates over Bluetooth mesh

01:42networks, allowing users to communicate without internet access or central servers. The app offers

01:48encrypted and ephemeral communication, designed to function during internet outages or censorship,

01:54highlighting privacy and user ownership.

01:57In military technology, Russia is reportedly field-testing an advanced AI-powered drone,

02:03the Shad MS-1, which utilizes NVIDIA jets and Orin for autonomous target identification and decision-making.

02:09This drone poses challenges to Ukraine's defense systems, raising questions about the effectiveness

02:16of Western tech sanctions aimed at limiting military technology access.

02:22The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law mandating age verification for adult content,

02:27benefiting age verification software companies by creating a significant market.

02:32Approximately 40% of Americans now live under such age-gating laws, with companies like Yodi and

02:38Invoque positioned to profit from this regulatory environment, despite concerns about accuracy and privacy.

02:45Elon Musk's XAI has updated its chatbot Grok with instructions to embrace politically incorrect

02:51claims if substantiated, leading to controversial responses. These changes have sparked public backlash

02:57and highlight the challenges of controlling AI behavior.

03:02Lucid Motors has set a new Guinness World Record by driving 1205.8 km on a single charge in a Lucid Air Grand,

03:09touring across Switzerland, Austria and Germany. This achievement underscores the vehicle's

03:14exceptional range and efficiency, as Lucid continues to expand its presence in Europe.

03:20The emerging, subprime AI crisis, is raising concerns as companies like Anthropic and OpenAI

03:26report massive losses, questioning the sustainability of the AI industry. This contrasts with successful

03:33startups like Cursor, which generate substantial recurring revenue through practical AI-powered tools.

03:40Ziaso has developed Anubis, an open-source program designed to protect small internet servers from

03:46AI-bot-scrapers. Since its launch, Anubis has been downloaded nearly 200,000 times,

03:52and is utilized by organizations such as Nome and UNESCO to mitigate the impact of these bots.

04:00Dyson has established a large-scale vertical farming operation in Lincolnshire,

04:04UK, featuring advanced technology to grow 1,225,000 strawberry plants. This facility utilizes

04:12sustainable energy and water, recycling methods to produce 1250 tons of strawberries annually, aiming to

04:19enhance food quality and sustainability in agriculture. AI technology is now being used to conduct

04:26first-round interviews for job candidates, streamlining the hiring process by automating

04:31initial evaluations before human recruiters review applicants. Novel AI has publicly released the

04:38weights for its second-generation image generation model, Novel AI Diffusion V2, allowing for research and

04:45personal use. While the model is somewhat dated, it supports high-resolution image generation, and is

04:51available under a dual license for non-commercial use. Researchers have tested ChatGPT as a spacecraft

04:59pilot in a simulation competition, where it secured second place by converting spacecraft data into text

05:05commands. Despite some limitations, ChatGPT demonstrated significant potential for autonomous space

05:11navigation, suggesting future AI could integrate natural language reasoning with traditional control

05:17systems for space missions. That's all for today's Tech Insights on Daily World Podcast.

05:25I'm Angela, reminding you to stay ahead of the curve in our rapidly evolving digital world.
