In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we delve into a groundbreaking legal decision involving a $750 million Bitcoin fortune forever lost in a Newport landfill. James Howells' decade-long battle to recover his 8,000 Bitcoin reached a decisive end as Judge Keyser KC dismissed his case, ruling in favor of Newport City Council's ownership claims. Despite innovative proposals involving AI-powered robots and specialized recovery teams, the massive cryptocurrency cache remains buried, serving as a cautionary tale for digital asset storage.
Meta's dramatic restructuring of its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs marks a significant shift in corporate culture. The company announced immediate changes to hiring practices, supplier diversity efforts, and employee resource groups, with Chief Diversity Officer Maxine Williams being reassigned. This sweeping overhaul, effective January 10, 2025, aligns with similar moves by other major corporations and reflects responses to recent Supreme Court decisions and evolving legal landscapes.
The episode culminates with an exploration of MIT's revolutionary advancement in computer chip technology. Engineers have developed a groundbreaking method for creating 'high-rise' 3D computer chips using stacked single-crystal 2D semiconductors. This innovation promises to double processing power while maintaining current chip footprints, potentially transforming AI hardware efficiency and opening new possibilities for edge computing, autonomous vehicles, and medical imaging applications.
