00:00You're listening to Daily World Podcast focused on technology for April 15, 2025.
00:16I'm Angela, ready to guide you through the newest tech development shaking up the industry.
00:224chan has reported significant outages, with users experiencing access issues amid speculation of a
00:28major hack that may have leaked its entire database, including emails and IP addresses.
00:34The platform, known for its controversial history, has not yet issued an official response,
00:39leaving users concerned about the potential consequences of this breach.
00:44In the tech sector, Apple is intensifying its development of smart glasses with augmented
00:49reality capabilities, aiming to surpass meta in the AR market. CEO Tim Cook has prioritized this
00:56project, although he acknowledges that perfecting true AR glasses will require considerable time
01:01and technological advancements. The company is also addressing privacy concerns related to the use
01:07of cameras in these devices. Engineers have unveiled a new method for heat transfer, using hexagonal
01:14boron nitri, allowing heat to move like a beam of light. This innovation could lead to faster and more
01:19efficient electronics, including smartphones and electric vehicles, by preventing overheating and
01:24improving energy efficiency. The implications of granting legal personhood to artificial intelligence are
01:31being discussed, with warnings that such a move could undermine human rights and societal structures.
01:37Concerns are being raised about the ethical and legal ramifications of treating AI as entities
01:42with rights and responsibilities. Hertz has informed customers of a data breach involving personal
01:48information and driver's licenses due to a cyber attack on a vendor Clio between October and December 2024.
01:56The breach affected customers in various regions, with stolen data including names, contact information,
02:02and payment details. Hertz stated it would be inaccurate to claim millions were affected.
02:08NATO has acquired an AI-powered military system from Palantir to enhance its operational capabilities,
02:14amid concerns over U.S. defense commitments in Europe. The Mavin smart system will streamline
02:20battlefield data analysis, allowing smaller teams to perform tasks previously managed by larger units,
02:25reflecting NATO's urgency to advance its defense technology in response to rival capabilities.
02:32NVIDIA has begun production of its Blackwell AI GPUs at TSMC's facility in Phoenix, Arizona,
02:39while collaborating with Foxconn and Wistron to establish supercomputer production plants in Texas.
02:46This initiative is part of NVIDIA's strategy to bolster U.S. chip manufacturing,
02:50and is expected to create numerous jobs and enhance economic security.
02:56OpenAI has announced its latest GPT-4.1 models along with new pricing structures,
03:02which are expected to improve user experience and broaden the accessibility of advanced AI capabilities.
03:09The introduction of GPT-4.1 marks a significant update in the series,
03:14with the early deprecation of GPT-4.5 raising questions about the pace of advancements in AI technology.
03:22The training code for EasyControl has been released, allowing users to train their own variants of the model.
03:28This release includes checkpoints for various tasks and outlines the hardware requirements needed for optimal performance.
03:34Meta is set to begin training its AI on the data of EU users from its apps, including public posts and comments, while excluding private messages.
03:45Users will be notified and given the option to opt out following a delay in AI training plans due to regulatory feedback.
03:53This initiative aims to enhance AI models by reflecting regional dialects and cultural nuances.
03:58In a peculiar incident, hackers took control of traffic crosswalks to broadcast deepfake-style AI messages,
04:06impersonating tech giants Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
04:10This unusual act raises concerns about cybersecurity and the potential misuse of AI technology in public spaces.
04:16That wraps up our tech coverage for the day on Daily World Podcast.
04:22I'm Angela, thanks for joining, and we'll see you soon with more innovations.
