00:00Hello, tech enthusiasts. This is Daily World Podcast's technology update for May 4th,
00:152025. I'm Angela, bringing you the latest from Silicon Valley and beyond.
00:22The source code for TMSGNL, an unofficial signal app used by Trump officials, has been released,
00:29revealing hard-coded credentials and vulnerabilities. This code is licensed under GPL version 3,
00:35allowing public access and modification, and includes a complete Git history for the Android
00:40version, while the iOS version lacks such documentation. A critique has emerged regarding
00:46the ideological shift of tech billionaires towards far-right politics. The article argues that their
00:52long-standing libertarian beliefs are becoming more visible, with unrealistic visions for the future,
00:57such as colonizing Mars and achieving super-intelligent AI. This focus is seen as a
01:03distraction from pressing issues on Earth, and reflects a desire for corporate control over
01:08society, with the author warning that this faith in technological salvation is misplaced.
01:14In a related discussion on artificial intelligence, Judge Vince Siachabria expressed skepticism over
01:21Meta's claim that AI training data constitutes fair use during a copyright infringement hearing
01:27involving book authors. He questioned how using copyrighted material for AI could be fair when it
01:33potentially disrupts the market for authors' works, emphasizing the need for authors to prove their
01:37case against Meta's arguments. Jeffrey Hinton, known as the godfather of AI, shared his concerns about
01:45the rapid advancement of AI, warning that super-intelligent AI could manipulate humans. He compared AI development
01:52to raising a potentially dangerous tiger cub, estimating a 10 to 20 percent chance that AI could
01:58eventually seize control, highlighting the urgency of addressing these risks amid global competition in
02:03technology. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that up to 30 percent of the company's code is now
02:11generated by artificial intelligence, a trend expected to continue growing. During a discussion with Meta CEO
02:18Mark Zuckerberg, both leaders acknowledged the increasing role of AI in software development,
02:23with Zuckerberg predicting that AI could handle half of development tasks within a year.
02:29An exploration of technological evolution invites speculation on what current technologies or
02:34concepts might become widespread in the next 50 years. This discussion draws parallels with past
02:40innovations, such as cell phones, which have become ubiquitous over time.
02:44In gaming technology, a recent video showcases how Minecraft can be played on a 20-year-old GPU
02:52with only 8 MB of VRAM, pushing the limits of outdated hardware. This project involved running an older
02:59version of Minecraft on a desktop with Windows XP and significant modifications to settings for
03:05performance optimization, demonstrating the creativity of gaming enthusiasts.
03:10Billionaire Frank McCork, leading a group of investors aiming to acquire TikTok from ByteDance, highlighted a
03:17recent 600 million euro fine imposed by the EU as indicative of growing concerns over social media
03:23companies' control over user data. He describes this situation as part of an avalanche of evidence
03:29regarding data privacy issues.
03:32Ukrainian officials are planning to deploy 15,000 uncrewed ground vehicles by 2025 to address personnel
03:39shortages amid ongoing conflict. While these vehicles are being developed for various military roles,
03:45logistical challenges and high costs limit their current deployment, necessitating human oversight for
03:51operation. The integration of AI and autonomy in these vehicles is seen as a future goal to enhance their
03:57battlefield effectiveness. Cerabyte has demonstrated the durability of its archival glass storage by
04:04boiling it in salt water and grilling it in an oven, claiming the data remains intact after extreme
04:10conditions. Founded in Germany in 2022, the company aims to revolutionize data storage with a medium that
04:18has a projected lifespan of 5,000 years, utilizing as ceramic-on-glass material.
04:23An op-ed discusses how the lack of significant advancements in chip manufacturing is affecting the
04:30pricing and development of game consoles. Unlike previous generations where prices would decrease
04:35over time, current consoles are experiencing price hikes due to various factors including inflation,
04:41supply chain issues and corporate strategies. Microsoft has developed a new family of code editing
04:48language models called NextCoder, which utilizes selective knowledge transfer in its training
04:53process. This innovation aims to enhance coding efficiency and accuracy for developers.
05:01Finally, discussions continue regarding the effectiveness of Q13, with users invited to share their
05:06experiences and insights on whether its benchmark scores accurately reflect its real-world performance.
05:11This concludes our tech-focused broadcast of Daily World Podcast. I'm Angela,
05:19encouraging you to stay curious about the future of technology.
