Listen "How X's Algorithm Secretly Turns You Against Your Neighbors in Just One Week."
Episode Synopsis
Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping technology, geopolitics, and society. First, Baidu is making a bold push into AI chip development, aiming to fill the market void left by US sanctions on Nvidia and creating a captive Chinese AI computing market. Next, we dive into the troubles of defense tech company Anduril as its highly promoted drones crash during US Air Force tests, revealing the gap between Silicon Valley hype and battlefield realities. Then, a groundbreaking new study uncovers how X’s algorithm can accelerate three years of political polarization in just one week, raising critical concerns about user engagement at the cost of social cohesion amid evolving EU regulations. We also examine how navies are increasingly outsourcing anti-submarine warfare to private tech firms operating autonomous drones, a shift that challenges traditional defense models and international law. Finally, we consider Vietnam’s growing reliance on Huawei for 5G infrastructure, complicating the US technology containment strategy in Southeast Asia and highlighting integration challenges for Western partners.
