About this episode

What would you like to see more of? Let us know!

In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore the world's first fully AI-generated video game, Oasis, developed by Israeli company Decart. Running entirely on a large language model, this groundbreaking game generates its Minecraft-like world in real-time, offering a unique glimpse into the future of gaming despite current technical limitations.

We also investigate the concerning trend of "ghost jobs" flooding the job market, with an estimated 70% of current listings potentially being positions companies have no immediate plans to fill. As this practice reaches new heights in the consulting industry and tech sector, we examine how governments are beginning to take action, with Ontario implementing new transparency rules and New Jersey considering similar legislation.

Our deep dive explores the fascinating Silurian Hypothesis, which questions whether humans were truly Earth's first technological civilization. This thought-provoking theory examines how we might detect evidence of an ancient industrial society through chemical and isotopic signatures, while highlighting the challenges of preservation over geological timescales. From cephalopod intelligence to potential evidence on the Moon and Mars, we uncover how this hypothesis is reshaping our understanding of Earth's deep history.
