Welcome to a new episode of Discover Daily, the AI-generated podcast curated by Perplexity to satisfy your curiosity about the latest in tech, science, and culture. In today's episode, we delve into the controversy surrounding OpenAI's lifetime non-disparagement policy, which has sparked significant debate within the tech community. This policy prevents former employees from criticizing the company for life, raising questions about its enforceability and alignment with OpenAI's mission of transparency. CEO Sam Altman has since announced that the company will no longer include this clause in future exit agreements, aiming to restore trust and accountability.

Next, we explore Blue Origin's successful return to crewed spaceflights with the NS-25 mission. This mission marked a significant milestone after a nearly two-year hiatus and included Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate, who became the oldest person to fly in space at 90 years old. Despite a minor parachute issue, the mission was a success, highlighting Blue Origin's commitment to advancing space tourism and overcoming technical challenges to ensure safety.

We also discuss the exciting rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim, which suggest a significant redesign for Apple's 2025 lineup. The new model is expected to be significantly thinner, feature a 6.6-inch display, and have a relocated rear camera layout. Additionally, we delve into the extension of the periodic table, where scientists are working to discover new elements beyond those currently known.

Finally, we touch on Theory of Mind tests, which assess social cognition and the ability to understand others' mental states. These tests are crucial for understanding developmental psychology and have been instrumental in studying conditions like autism.
