In this episode of 'Discover Daily', President Trump dismisses six top military leaders—including the first female Navy chief—sparking bipartisan alarm over politicized leadership purges. We analyze the unprecedented removal of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, and key strategists overseeing Ukraine/Taiwan operations, alongside plans to slash 5,400 Pentagon jobs.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella drops truth bombs about AI’s hype cycle, declaring current AGI benchmarks “corporate theater” while predicting $320 billion in 2025 AI infrastructure spending. Explore his radical metric for measuring AI success through GDP growth and workforce empowerment, contrasted against public distrust—only 35% of Americans approve AI in healthcare decisions. Plus: Inside Microsoft’s Copilot evolution now handling 40% of coding grunt work.

Chinese researchers stun the tech world with a revolutionary brain-computer interface using memristor chips that slash energy use 1,000-fold. Witness how this two-way neural dialogue enables drone control through pure thought and offers hope for stroke rehabilitation, while ethicists sound alarms about hackable memories. From neural encryption battles to VR gaming’s mind-controlled future, we dissect the promises and perils of merging human cognition with silicon.
