In this episode of "Discover Daily," we explore the latest developments in the world of tech, science, and culture. We begin with Nvidia's aggressive acquisition spree in 2024, as the leading AI chip manufacturer snaps up several startups to bolster its dominance in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape. Despite growing regulatory scrutiny, Nvidia's strategic purchases aim to enhance its software capabilities and strengthen its position in AI infrastructure management.
Next, we delve into the surprising growth spurt of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. Recent studies have revealed that erosion from a distant river network is contributing to Everest growing taller by about 2 millimeters per year. We explore the complex interplay of geological processes, including isostatic rebound and river piracy, that are shaping the mountain's ever-evolving landscape. As Everest continues to rise, we discuss the potential challenges and opportunities this presents for climbers, scientists, and the local environment.
