Smartglasses in Court and Bullying AI for Cash

Smartglasses in Court and Bullying AI for Cash

Author: Stephan Forseilles March 19, 2026 Duration: 17:24
Stephan's Daily Tech News episode 118 delivers a whirlwind tour of the latest tech headlines. Host Joe Progran opens with a bizarre UK courtroom case where a witness used smartglasses and a hidden coach, even blaming ChatGPT for the voice on his phone. The AI segment reveals ChatGPT handling 2.5 billion daily prompts, a startup paying £800 to “bully” an AI, NVIDIA’s new open‑source security framework NemoClaw and the upcoming DLSS 5 graphics breakthrough, and OpenAI’s strategic shift toward coding and enterprise tools amid rising competition. The show then dives into oddball science: a fruit‑fly brain uploaded to a digital environment, human brain cells playing Doom, and a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine that saved a rescue dog. Business news covers Meta’s massive data‑center spend paired with large‑scale layoffs, global efforts to create a “human‑made” label for products, Elon Musk’s restructuring of xAI, China’s approval of its first invasive brain‑computer interface, and Bumble’s AI dating assistant “Bee.” The episode wraps up with a reminder to stay skeptical, stay human, and avoid courtroom smartglasses.
