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.

Last week, we featured an interview with John Markoff, the legendary New York Times Silicon Valley correspondent. If Markoff has an East Coast equivalent, it's Steven Levy, the former Newsweek technology correspondent and author of best-selling books about hacking, crypto, Google and Facebook. Levy is now Wired's editor-at-large and when I visited Levy at New York City's glittering Conde Nast offices, we talked about what has and hasn't surprised him about the last twenty years of tech history and why he may be the last journalist with the good fortune of being paid to write long articles about Microsoft.Steven Levy is Wired's editor at large. The Washington Post has called him “America's premier technology journalist.”For almost four decades Levy has chronicled the digital revolution, its impact on humanity, and the people behind it. He has written the foundational work on computer culture (Hackers, 1984) and with Crypto (2001) the indispensable book on story behind that groundbreaking technology—years before people began gushing about Bitcoin and the blockchain. He has written the definitive books on Facebook, Google, the Macintosh, and the iPod. World-class engineers tell him that they pursued AI after reading his 1992 book Artificial Life. And he currently covers the breadth of tech stories—the good and the disturbing—for WIRED, where he has been a contributor since its inception. Levy's previous positions include founder of Backchannel and chief technology writer and senior editor for Newsweek. His work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Harper's Magazine, Macworld, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Premiere. Among his honors: PC Magazine named Hackers the best sci-tech book written in the last twenty years. Crypto won the grand e-book prize at the 2001 Frankfurt Book Fair. In the Plex was Amazon's best business book of 2011. In 2008 he was inducted as a SVForum Visionary, alongside Reed Hastings and Diane Greene. (Previous winners include Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Vin Cerf.) He has won several Computer Press Association Awards, been finalist for the National Magazine Award and the Loeb Award, winner of a Clarion Award and many others. His 1988 book, The Unicorn's Secret, was the source material for a two-night NBC miniseries, “The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer.” Levy hails from Philadelphia, where he began his career writing for weekly papers and writing stories for Philadelphia Magazine and the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine. He wrote extensively on rock music and sports. In 1982, he published a Rolling Stone story on computer hackers that drew him into the world of technology. He lives in New York City with his wife, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Teresa Carpenter.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Hey, y'all! We are closing out the year with the most conspiracy laden episode to date, which is...saying something.
