Meta Launching Community Notes, Anthropic CEO Floats AI Quit Button, Man Survives with Titanium Heart in World-First

Discover Daily by Perplexity

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

In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore a groundbreaking medical achievement: an Australian man who survived 100 days with a BiVACOR titanium heart before successfully receiving a donor heart transplant. This world-first procedure marks a significant milestone in artificial heart technology, potentially revolutionizing treatment options for millions of heart failure patients globally. The BiVACOR device, featuring magnetic levitation technology and a single moving part, represents a major advancement in addressing the critical shortage of donor hearts.

We also examine Meta's upcoming launch of Community Notes across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads—a crowd-sourced content moderation system designed to replace third-party fact-checking with a less biased approach to information quality. The feature will enter public beta on March 18, 2025, with Meta building upon X's open-source algorithm while implementing careful monitoring systems during the initial rollout phase.

Additionally, we discuss Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's thought-provoking proposal to give AI models an "I quit this job" button, raising profound questions about AI autonomy, ethics, and potential machine consciousness. This controversial idea suggests implementing a preference framework that would allow advanced AI systems to opt out of tasks they find unpleasant, challenging traditional views of AI as mere tools without agency and potentially necessitating a reevaluation of how we treat these increasingly sophisticated systems.
