00:00Welcome to Daily World Podcast, Tech Edition on July 14, 2025.

00:15I'm Angela, here with an in-depth look at the latest breakthroughs in technology and innovation.

00:21The official X-Account for Sesame Street's Elmo was hacked, leading to a series of profane

00:27and offensive posts targeting President Donald Trump and others. The messages, which included

00:32racist and anti-Semitic content, were live for less than half an hour before being removed.

00:38There has been no official statement regarding the breach, which has raised concerns about

00:42account security. In technology news, BulletVPN, a well-known VPN service, has ceased operations,

00:51resulting in the termination of subscriptions for Lifetime members. Users who had invested

00:56in Lifetime access, are now unable to utilize the service.

01:01A government survey in Japan, indicates that the country is lagging in the adoption of generative AI,

01:07with only 26.7% of individuals and 49.7% of companies planning to use the technology.

01:15This is significantly lower than the over 80% adoption rates seen in China and the United States.

01:20Although usage among Japanese individuals tripled in fiscal 2024, it remains far behind that of its

01:27global counterparts. Younger people in their 20s are the most active users of AI in Japan.

01:34NASA's Orion heat shield has been spotted in Kansas, marking a significant milestone in the

01:40spacecraft's development and advancing efforts in space exploration technology.

01:44A serious security vulnerability has been identified in the wireless end-of-train system

01:50on U.S. freight trains, allowing anyone with inexpensive hardware to remotely activate the

01:55brakes. This issue has been known since 2012, but was largely ignored until a public advisory from

02:02the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency prompted action. Full deployment of fixes is not

02:08expected until 2027. China has successfully tested its homegrown Open Harmony real-time operating system

02:16in space, enhancing satellite subsystem performance, and reducing reliance on foreign software, amid

02:22ongoing Western sanctions. This development aims to standardize and accelerate the adoption of Open

02:27Harmony in Chinese satellite projects, promoting technological self-sufficiency.

02:32SpaceX is set to invest $2 billion in Elon, Musk's AI startup XAI, as part of a $5 billion equity round.

02:42The Grok AI chatbot, which is integrated with Starlink support, may also be utilized in Tesla's robots.

02:49This investment comes amid scrutiny over Musk's impact on NASA's budget and U.S. space leadership.

02:55Open AI, valued at $300 billion with 500 million weekly users for ChatGPT, is facing intense competition

03:04from major tech firms including Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. The company is dealing with

03:10challenges such as talent poaching, internal tensions, and delays in product launches while

03:15pursuing new ventures, including AI-powered browsers and military contracts. CEO Sam Altman remains

03:22optimistic about the company's growth and innovation. Team Group has developed the P250QM80, an industrial-grade

03:30SSD featuring a dual-mode self-destruct capability for data protection. This drive is designed for high

03:37security sectors and has recently won a cybersecurity award at Computex 2025. A study by METR shows that

03:46experienced developers take 19% longer to complete programming tasks when using AI coding assistants,

03:53contrary to their expectations of increased efficiency. The study highlights issues with AI's

03:58inconsistent suggestions and the time developers spend reviewing AI-generated code.

04:05The LAMA CPP project has introduced basic support for diffusion models, enabling new sampling methods on

04:10the CPU. While currently limited, this update paves the way for future performance improvements.

04:18Andrew NG, founder of Google Brain, has stated that expectations surrounding artificial general

04:24intelligence are overhyped. He emphasizes that the true power in the AI era lies in effectively using

04:30current AI tools rather than focusing on building AGI. AI-powered nudify websites, which create

04:38non-consensual explicit images, are generating significant revenue, estimated at up to $36 million annually.

04:45Despite some actions from tech companies and lawmakers, these sites continue to operate, underscoring

04:51the need for stricter regulations to address the harmful impacts of AI-generated content. Recent

04:57legislative efforts aim to tackle this issue, but comprehensive enforcement remains necessary.

05:02That wraps up our tech coverage for the day on Daily World Podcast.

05:08I'm Angela, thanks for joining, and we'll see you soon with more innovations.

05:23That's good.
