00:00Hello, Tech Enthusiasts. This is Daily World Podcast's technology update for July 17,
00:162025. I'm Angela, bringing you the latest from Silicon Valley and beyond.
00:23NASA is currently investigating design issues with the Orion spacecraft's side hatch,
00:28which may affect its ability to open during emergencies. Full-scale testing is underway
00:33to address these concerns. Additionally, unexpected heat shield erosion from the Artemis 1 mission
00:40has delayed the Artemis 2 crewed mission to no earlier than September 2025. However,
00:46NASA officials do not identify any major obstacles preventing the Artemis 2 launch.
00:51In technology, Microsoft has updated its co-pilot Vision AI for Windows Insiders,
00:58allowing the tool to scan the entire desktop or specific app windows. This enhancement improves
01:05its ability to analyze content and assist users with tasks such as creative projects and navigation,
01:11also enabling interpretation of visuals through a mobile phone camera.
01:14Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has invested $10 million into a non-profit called And Other Stuff,
01:22which funds experimental open-source social media projects. This initiative aims to transform the
01:28social media landscape by focusing on decentralized protocols like Noster and Activity Pub, promoting
01:34community-driven models over traditional corporate structures. A study by METR has found that AI-powered
01:41coding assistants can slow down experienced developers by 19%, despite their perception that these tools
01:48enhance productivity. The study highlights challenges with AI's handling of large codebases and inconsistent
01:54suggestion quality, although it may still benefit less experienced programmers.
02:00Apple's anticipated foldable iPhone, expected in 2026, is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch inner display,
02:07and a 20-pro chipset, 12GB of RAM, and dual 48-megapixel cameras, with a projected price between $1,800 and $2,000.
02:16The device is expected to utilize displays from Samsung and LG, and will be primarily assembled by Foxconn.
02:24Security experts report that hackers are exploiting a blind spot by embedding malware within DNS records,
02:30specifically using TXT records to store malicious files.
02:34This method allows malware to be fetched stealthily, as DNS traffic is less monitored, compared to web and email traffic,
02:42complicating detection efforts, especially with the rise of encrypted DNS protocols.
02:48In software development, a new CUDA backend is being developed for MLX, enhancing the developer experience by allowing local code testing,
02:56before deployment on NVIDIA hardware.
02:58This initiative, sponsored by Apple, is currently in progress with basic functionality available for testing.
03:05The open-source video generator PUSA V 1.0 has been released, claiming to be five times faster and more efficient than its predecessor, 1.2.1.
03:16It offers multi-task capabilities, including image-to-video and text-to-video generation,
03:22while achieving high performance with lower training costs.
03:26Mark Zuckerberg has announced Meta's plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in AI development,
03:33including the construction of massive data centers nearly the size of Manhattan.
03:37This investment aims to advance Meta's AI capabilities, and enhance competition with companies like OpenAI and Google.
03:44A recent report indicates that nearly 20% of games released on Steam in 2025 will use AI-generated content,
03:53reflecting a 700% increase from 2024.
03:57Developers, particularly indie studios, are increasingly relying on AI for various aspects of game development,
04:04including visual assets and sound effects.
04:07Georgia Institute of Technology has received a $20 million grant from the NSF2 Build Nexus,
04:13an advanced AI supercomputer set to launch in spring 2026.
04:19Nexus aims to accelerate research in fields such as medicine and climate science,
04:24representing a significant advancement in AI and supercomputing capabilities for scientific discovery.
