We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this episode of 'Discover Daily' by Perplexity, hosts Isaac and Sienna explore NASA's upcoming Lunar Trailblazer mission, scheduled for January 2025. This compact satellite mission aims to map water resources on the Moon's surface using advanced instruments like the High-resolution Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper and the Lunar Thermal Mapper. The mission represents a crucial step in NASA's Artemis program, designed to establish sustainable human presence on the Moon

The show delves into a groundbreaking development in robotics, highlighting Chinese startup AgiBot's release of the AgiBot World Alpha dataset. This comprehensive open-source collection features over one million trajectories from 100 robots in industrial-grade environments, potentially marking an 'ImageNet moment' for embodied intelligence in robotics

The main story focuses on Microsoft and OpenAI's unconventional redefinition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which ties achievement to a $100 billion profit milestone. The episode examines the implications of this profit-centric definition, Microsoft's diversification strategy in AI investments, and the complex dynamics of their partnership agreement. This innovative approach to defining AGI raises important questions about the future direction of AI development and its impact on the tech industry
