In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore three fascinating stories from the worlds of tech, business, and science:

1. Amazon's $4 Billion AI Bet: We discuss Amazon's massive investment in AI startup Anthropic, the makers of the impressive Claude chatbot. This move underscores the intense competition among tech giants to gain an edge in the rapidly evolving field of generative AI.
   
   
2. Truth Social's Inflated Valuation: We examine the inflated market valuation of Truth Social, which soared to around $11 billion on its first day of trading despite the company's modest revenue and user base. Many experts believe this high valuation is driven by investor enthusiasm rather than fundamentals, drawing comparisons to the "meme stock" phenomenon.
   
   
3. Climate Change Slows Earth's Rotation: We delve into the surprising impact of global warming on Earth's rotation. Research shows that melting polar ice due to climate change is redistributing mass towards the equator, slowing down the planet's spin. This has implications for global timekeeping, potentially delaying the need for a negative leap second and causing headaches for computer systems. It's a powerful reminder of the far-reaching effects of human-caused climate change on our planet.
