In this episode, we find Apple has a secretive AI research facility in Zurich working on computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and autonomous systems. Its work is already used in products like FaceTime and aims to develop new visual AI capabilities for Siri to change how people interact with technology.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao received 4 months in prison and a $50M fine for failing to implement anti-money laundering measures, allowing criminal exploitation of the crypto exchange. Though prosecutors sought 3 years, Zhao retains equity despite stepping down as CEO.

The UK banned easily guessable default passwords on IoT devices through new cybersecurity laws. Manufacturers must provide unique passwords and disclose security details. Non-compliance risks fines up to £10M or 4% of global revenue.

Recent studies suggest insects may possess basic consciousness based on complex behaviors, brain structures similar to human midbrains, and ability to modify behavior based on environment. The ethical implications for animal welfare are significant.

NASA plans orbital refueling of SpaceX's Starship for lunar missions using new in-space propellant transfer tech. Key challenges include managing propellant dynamics in microgravity. Up to 20 refueling launches may be needed per mission.
