Radioactive Anomaly
Scientists found high Beryllium-10 concentrations in the Pacific Ocean, dating back to the late Miocene.
Two theories explain this: reorganized ocean currents or cosmic events like supernovas.

In this episode of 'Discover Daily', the mysterious world of AI advancements and scientific discoveries collide in this episode of Discover Daily, where we explore Elon Musk's latest AI breakthrough with Grok 3, a model claimed to be 10 times more powerful than its predecessor and running on a massive infrastructure of 100,000 Nvidia GPUs. The episode delves into how this development intensifies the competition in the AI landscape, challenging established players like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
We then examine groundbreaking research from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University that reveals the complex relationship between AI and critical thinking in the workplace. The study shows how increased AI trust can lead to reduced critical thinking, while higher self-confidence enhances AI output evaluation, highlighting the evolving nature of knowledge work and the potential risks of over-reliance on AI systems.
Our main segment looks at an extraordinary radioactive anomaly discovered in the Pacific Ocean's depths, where scientists have found unexpectedly high concentrations of beryllium-10 dating back to the late Miocene epoch. This discovery presents two competing theories: one suggesting a major reorganization of ocean currents, and another pointing to cosmic events like nearby supernovas, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of Earth's geological timeline and dating methods.
