00:00you're tuned into daily world podcasts tech focus for july 20th 2025 i'm angela here to
00:17spotlight breakthrough developments in ai robotics and emerging technologies
00:21researchers have identified a network of over 400 ai driven bot accounts on x that automatically
00:29post supportive messages about the trump administration recently these bots have
00:34displayed contradictory messaging due to divisions within the maga movement regarding
00:38the handling of jeffrey epstein files this network aims to influence partisan perceptions rather than
00:44engage users with its full scale remaining unclear valve has confirmed that it removed certain adult
00:52games from steam due to pressure from credit card companies which threatened to cut off payment
00:57methods if the games remained available the company stated that losing payment options would
01:01hinder customer purchases of other titles raising concerns about external financial entities influencing
01:07content availability on digital platforms libra office has accused microsoft of intentionally using
01:14unnecessarily complex file formats in microsoft 365 documents to lock in users and hinder
01:22interoperability while libra office employs the open standard open document format microsoft utilizes its
01:29proprietary office open xml format which is difficult for developers outside microsoft to implement
01:35libra office argues this complexity limits competition and encourages users to switch to linux and libra office
01:42scientists have developed a bio hybrid robot that uses electrical signals from a king trumpet mushroom
01:49to move and sense its environment this innovation combines fungal mycelium with robotic systems
01:56potentially enabling applications such as monitoring soil chemistry in agriculture the research published in
02:03science robotics represents a significant breakthrough in bio hybrid robotics researchers from leading ai companies
02:12including open ai google deep mine anthropic and meta have issued a joint warning about ai safety
02:18they emphasize that the current ability to monitor ai reasoning through chain of thought
02:23transparency is fragile and may soon diminish due to technological advancements the collaboration
02:30highlights the urgency of maintaining transparency in ai decision-making in a notable human versus ai
02:37competition polish programmer przemysław dibiak narrowly defeated an advanced open ai ai model in the
02:45community at coder world tour finals 2025 heuristic contest after a 10-hour coding marathon dibiak's victory
02:53underscores the ongoing relevance of human skill in competitive programming despite the rise of ai
03:00google has utilized motion sensors on over 2 billion android phones to create a global earthquake detection
03:06network that rivals traditional seismometers in accuracy the system has identified over 11 000 earthquakes and sends
03:13automated warnings to millions across 98 countries enhancing public safety while prompting discussions about data
03:20transparency and access to algorithms a technical issue at nets caused widespread card payment failures
03:27across denmark and other nordic countries for two and a half hours affecting transactions in several
03:33countries including italy france and germany the disruption led to significant problems on the storeball bridge
03:40including traffic jams and vandalism but authorities have since resolved the issue scientists have
03:47achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing with the demonstration of magic state distillation in
03:52logical qubits for the first time this crucial process is necessary for building fault tolerant
03:58quantum computers that can outperform supercomputers marking a significant step toward making quantum
04:04computers practically useful samsung is preparing to launch a triple folding smartphone by the end of this year
04:12according to the company's consumer electronics head tm row the company is focused on perfecting the
04:17product and its usability with production set to begin soon softbank ceo masayoshi sun announced plans to
04:25deploy 1 billion ai agents in 2025 to automate tasks traditionally performed by human employees particularly in
04:34programming these ai agents will operate continuously and interact with each other signaling a shift
04:40towards artificial general intelligence and extensive automation within the company a leaked list has
04:47revealed meta's elite ai team of 44 top researchers many of whom are of chinese origin and former open ai
04:54employees with compensation rumored to be between 10 million and 100 million dollars annually this team is
05:01central to meta's ambition to build artificial general intelligence and compete with open ai
05:07and google deep mind raising geopolitical concerns over ai talent poaching and brain drain
05:15you've been listening to daily world podcast technology update
