We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore Anduril Industries' groundbreaking Arsenal-1 project, a $1 billion autonomous weapons facility in Ohio that promises to create over 4,000 high-paying jobs and revolutionize military defense manufacturing. The 5-million-square-foot facility, set to begin production in July 2026, will produce advanced autonomous systems including Fury drones, Roadrunner drones, and Baracuda missiles, while generating billions in economic output.We also delve into OpenAI's development of revolutionary AI 'super agents' with PhD-level reasoning capabilities, as CEO Sam Altman prepares to brief U.S. government officials. These advanced AI systems represent a significant leap forward in autonomous task execution and problem-solving, positioning the United States at the forefront of AI innovation and economic growth in the global technology race.The episode concludes with an fascinating exploration of ELIZA's resurrection, as the world's first chatbot returns on GitHub. Originally created in the 1960s by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum, ELIZA's restoration involved decoding 2,600 lines of historic code, now running on an emulated IBM 7094 computer. This preservation of AI history offers valuable insights into the evolution of conversational AI and its impact on modern technology.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/anduril-s-1b-autonomous-weapon-fTo5xssgQYeFhKcv0df8Ywhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/altman-to-brief-d-c-on-phd-lev-q1qYjPhrQhuyb3cwG8H2RAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/world-s-first-chatbot-resurrec-tJfKapPMSWmDvjC334mfkQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore three groundbreaking developments in technology and infrastructure. First, we examine the Biden administration's decisive action on vehicle cybersecurity, with new regulations banning Chinese and Russian technology in connected cars starting 2027. These sweeping measures aim to protect America's smart vehicles from potential security threats.Sweden makes history with the construction of its Forsmark Nuclear Waste Repository, an engineering marvel designed to safely store radioactive waste for 100,000 years. Located 500 meters underground in ancient bedrock, this $1.08 billion facility represents a crucial step forward in solving the challenge of long-term nuclear waste storage.The spotlight story reveals a quantum computing breakthrough from the University of New South Wales, where researchers have created a quantum state that exists in eight dimensions simultaneously. Using an antimony atom embedded in silicon, this innovation moves beyond traditional binary computing, promising more reliable quantum computers that could transform everything from cryptography to drug discovery.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/us-bans-chinese-tech-in-cars-e1RPf6.0TuenPzMF60JZCQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/sweden-s-100000-year-nuclear-w-8kjSblrDR.mhpz3a5MkNzwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/schrodinger-s-cat-quantum-brea-VBMp.fMvSXa.9andxycZZQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore how RedNote, a Chinese social media platform, has become the unexpected refuge for TikTok users ahead of the January 19th ban, with over 700,000 new American users joining in just two days.Next, we delve into a groundbreaking cybersecurity operation where the FBI, in partnership with French authorities and Sekoia.io, successfully removed dangerous PlugX malware from 4,258 U.S. computers. This sophisticated operation, conducted between August 2024 and January 2025, showcases how law enforcement turned the malware's own self-delete mechanism against itself to protect American digital infrastructure from Chinese state-sponsored hackers.Finally, we celebrate a historic moment in astronomy as the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope concludes its revolutionary sky-scanning mission after 11 years. Having collected over three trillion observations of two billion celestial objects, Gaia's legacy will continue through two major data releases planned for 2026 and beyond, promising to reshape our understanding of the Milky Way galaxy.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-rednote-apps-boom-in-the-u-1NnpJxlbSEGE_F6HqwBpdwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/fbi-hacked-computers-to-uninst-54mfC_E0SUS.e2kNPl191whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/gaia-sky-scan-completed-gS0fkLxDRyCfaZsPGKrF0wPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.
