2:42Jenn Cutter: This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, July 16th, 2025. We tell you what you need to know, follow up on the context of those stories, and try to help each other understand.

2:52Andy Beach: Today, Andy Beach tells us about a Hollywood move to ethically sourced AI. And why does everyone love the new Donkey Kong Monanza?

3:01Jenn Cutter: I don't know either. I'm Tom Merritt. I'm Jen Cutter. Let's start with what you need to know with the big stories. We actually have a couple of pieces of video game news off the top today. Today, first, Shigeru Miyamoto announced that they have cast Link and Zelda for the Legend of Zelda movie that is set to come to theaters May 7th, 2027. So you got a couple of years. They're just in the casting phase. Bo Braggison will play Princess Zelda. You may have seen the 21-year-old actor in the Disney Plus series Renegade Nell, or she was in Final Fantasy 15 as well. 16-year-old Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Link.

3:41Jenn Cutter: He was the voice of Disney's 2022 live-action Pinocchio, which one of you may have seen, and appeared in The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix. If you don't remember who's directing this, it's Wes Ball. He directed all the Maze Runner movies. Also directed the most recent Planet of the Apes movie, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. He is the director of the Legend of Zelda movie. What do you think of the casting, Jen?

4:07Andy Beach: Well, having seen the pictures, I'm like, wow, yeah, they're not going to have to do a lot of work there.

4:12Jenn Cutter: they're kind of good to go yeah they got the luck anyway right yeah of course my one major bias as

4:18Andy Beach: every left-handed person feels like are they gonna make link right-handed again oh i hadn't thought about that was left-handed up until kind of the gamecube we version where people had the waggle so they made it for right-handed people and didn't give us an option to switch and i have

4:34Jenn Cutter: been bitter about that ever since maybe he'll be ambidextrous they gotta throw us a bone you gotta give us like one scene yeah i i'm also wondering about dialogue because you know link's dialogue is woohoo and zelda really doesn't talk so uh i'm curious how that's going to work here i'm assuming we'll we'll get more out of them but that that'll be part of the the fun uh meanwhile in other nintendo news the reviews are out for nintendo's donkey kong bonanza spelled like banana because donkey kong uh that releases thursday july 17th it's the first big nintendo Switch 2 title to arrive since the version of the console launched.

5:14Jenn Cutter: And the reviews are pretty positive. Ars Technica called it a spiritual successor to Super Mario Odyssey. And a lot of people were wondering why we weren't getting a Super Mario. Ars Technica says, I now know why. CNET says it's the best Switch game in years. Eurogamer says it's a delightful adventure, one of Donkey Kong's best. Jen, what did you make of these reviews?

5:33Andy Beach: I will start out with a slight disclaimer. I have the game, but I'm going on a trip this weekend so i haven't played it i have been saving it for uh for a long ride um i will say that it's been really interesting like the last time uh i used donkey kong and skill tree in a sentence was a joke and that is a thing that exists now uh also uh one of when my friends were all reviewing the game they're like yes we have to figure out which button wasn't punch there's a lot of punching

6:04Jenn Cutter: There's a lot of punch buttons. Okay, good to know.

6:06Andy Beach: Well, because you can destroy, well, almost the whole environment. You can't make like a flat level, like old school, like Red Faction where you could blow up everything. But boy, you can blow up a lot and it kind of becomes important.

6:17Jenn Cutter: That seems like a plus in this kind of game too.

6:20Andy Beach: Yeah, I'm excited about it. And I have been enjoying the complaints. So I do want to put that in quotes, giant air quotes. The complaints about spoilers for the Donkey Kong lore. Because there is a story up in here.

6:34Jenn Cutter: Yeah. All right. I mean, this is the first 3D Donkey Kong we've had since when? 99?

6:43Andy Beach: Well, Donkey Kong's been coasting a bit on re-releases. So there's several versions of Donkey Kong Country, which I still think is the best one, which is what I will be comparing this one to. But yeah, lore and skill trees in Donkey Kong, which sounds like a foreign thing, but sounds really fun. One of the best things about Mario Kart World was the soundtrack. And I'm looking forward to the music in here. I'm looking forward to a very smooth experience. I do obviously understand why everyone's comparing it to Mario Odyssey and not Mario Wonder. Because Wonder was the 2D one. But with all the destruction, how to switch to hold up with the frame rate.

7:20Andy Beach: Some people say it's fantastic and nothing drops. And some people have had different experiences. Yeah.

7:27Jenn Cutter: And, you know, it's going to vary from player to player for sure, but it does seem generally positive and fits the pattern that Nintendo puts out a console. Everyone wonders where the games are and then everyone stops wondering when the next game comes and enjoys them. It seems like that's playing out again this time.

7:46Andy Beach: Yeah, in terms of a trickle release, this is the way to do it. It's still early enough in summer that all of the kids can get in on the action, and I'm sure we're going to hear about a lot more Switch releases as we get closer to the holiday season.

8:00Jenn Cutter: No, by this time next year, no one will be complaining about a lack of Switch 2 titles. That'll be long forgotten, I suspect. Yeah.

8:07Andy Beach: And if you're really looking for a Donkey Kong fix and want to experience some early Donkey Kong lore, there used to be a Canadian and French produced series called Donkey Kong Country, which is fascinating. I think like reboot era 3D animation. And this one had motion capture. And if you ever wanted to see a French Donkey Kong stereotype character, there you go for your Donkey Kong old school lore.

8:32Jenn Cutter: Poke around at the dark corners of the internet, folks. Oh, it's all legal.

8:35Andy Beach: You can all find it online. It's amazing. So DTNS is made possible by you, the listener.

10:37Hey guys, it's Joe. It's Kevin. And this is Nick Jonas from Hey Jonas. Do you remember growing up when it felt like every teacher had a favorite student? Everybody knew who it was. Well, I was homeschooled, so I like to think it was me. A class of one. Congratulations. But we're not here to talk about favorite students. We want to talk about a teacher's real favorite. Kleenex tissues. According to TeacherList, Kleenex is the number one facial tissue brand trusted by teachers. Kleenex Ultra Soft tissues are silky soft to help prevent skin irritation.

13:05Jenn Cutter: There's more we need to know today. Let's get to the briefs.

13:08Andy Beach: OnePlus announced a 2-in-1 charging cable for its phones and watches called the SuperVOOC cable. The VOOC stands for Voltage Open Loop Multi-Step Constant Current Charging. It has a charging puck with pogo pin built into the middle of the cable. The two ends have a USB-A for the charging plug and USB-C for the phone. When plugged into a OnePlus phone, it can deliver up to 80 watts of power, which drops to 67 watts if you are also charging a OnePlus watch. The SuperVOOC 8A cable is available now for$30.

13:43Jenn Cutter: Try, my dear listener, not to get hung up on the fact that VOOC should be VOLNK. And focus on the fact that this is a pretty obvious and ingenious design. Just put the watch charger in the middle of the cable. It's pretty great.

14:00Andy Beach: You got yourself covered. Yeah.

14:03Jenn Cutter: The Wireless Power Consortium has certified eight Qi 2.2 products. Qi 2.2 increases the charging speed to 25 watts from the previous 15 watts. That's the 0.2 upgrade. Among the new products that are certified are the Ugreen 10 ,000 mAh MagFlow Power Bank, a Basis Power Bank, a Belkin Ultra Charge Pro 3-in-1 Charging Dock, an Anker 3-in-1 Dock, an Aucy 2-in-1 Charging Stand, and a Skosh Car Mount. You also have some certifications for ODMs, CVS Micro, and BH EVS for components that they will include in other products. Current iPhones, except the 16e and the HMD Skyline, are the phones that support Qi 2.2.

14:49Jenn Cutter: Other phones, like the Galaxy S25 from Samsung, can support it with a case. They are Qi-ready. The case needs to be included if you want the magnetic part of it. 9to5Mac reminds us that there was a Taiwanese regulatory filing too for a 45 watt MagSafe charger from Apple. So this would be something that might be in a Qi standard down the line, but Apple could sell it just for Apple products now. But there has been no official word on that.

15:17Andy Beach: Yeah, for everyone who's been affected by the large list of power bank recalls, these are good to keep an eye on for replacements.

15:25Jenn Cutter: Yeah, and you may not have the case that goes with it. There's a limit to who's gonna benefit from this yet, But this is the kind of stuff that more products are going to roll out, more phones are going to support it in the future, and you'll get some faster charging out of it.

15:38Andy Beach: A UK company called Seabound announced its technology for taking CO2 emissions from cargo ships and converting it to limestone, a key ingredient in cement. The UBC cork will be the first to get it. The ship carrier hauls cement, and when it docks in Norway, the limestone will be offloaded to be used by Heidelberg Materials to make more cement at its plant in Brevik.

16:02Jenn Cutter: Yeah, so Heidelberg is already a zero emissions operation. This makes it easier for them to maintain that because they're getting limestone back that is carbon free because it was made with carbon capture on the boat carrying its cement, which it also can now be like, ah, that boat did not emit. So we get a credit there. It's a nice little advance to something that is a big emitter. I think, you know, various estimates, three to five percent of CO2 emissions come from these kinds of ships. If you're wondering about the status of the big crypto bills in the U.S., we were talking earlier this week about the Genius Act, the Clarity Act, all of that.

16:43Jenn Cutter: The Genius Act was supposed to just swing through the house and get passed. Uh, that's the one that would make it easier for banks to issue stable coins, you know, make some, some clarity around that 13 representatives who were expected to vote for the bill pulled their support at the time of the rules making vote. There's all kinds of procedures in Congress, but one of them is like, here are the rules of the debate. They voted against that one representative, Marjorie Taylor green pulled support because she wanted a separate bill banning the U S from making its own digital currency to not be separate.

17:19Jenn Cutter: She wanted that included in the Genius Act. The president called 12 of the 13 representatives to the White House and said he had been able to get them to agree to vote for the Genius Act. So by the time you hear this, that may have passed. But that was why it didn't happen as fast as we all thought it would at the beginning of the week.

17:38Andy Beach: NVIDIA says it will receive approval of licenses to sell its H20 chips to Chinese companies, but that approval has not happened yet. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick told Reuters Tuesday that the approval is related to a broader deal on rare earth minerals coming from China to the U.S.

17:57Jenn Cutter: Yeah, so as Jason and I said, these sorts of things are volatile. And if this entire deal starts to go sideways, then NVIDIA might not get that license approval. But NVIDIA seems pretty confident. and everyone in Beijing was real happy to see Jensen Huang talk and he was celebrated and all of that. So, so far, so good. And it's interesting to note that some of the issues with rare earth minerals getting to the United States would be eased by this as well. A couple of PC components of note have been announced. Razer is launching the Razer Core X V2 external GPU enclosure. This is just the enclosure.

18:38Jenn Cutter: You have to bring your own GPU. It can support four card slots from AMD and Nvidia though. So some of the bigger cards that are out there includes a 120 millimeter cooling fan and supports Thunderbolt 5. You get a Thunderbolt 5 cable in the box. It's also backward compatible to Thunderbolt 4. But if you have a laptop that supports Thunderbolt 5, it can deliver 140 watts of power through that single cable. You do have to provide the GPU, like I said, and you have to provide the power supply. They don't include the power supply with this. It gives you a little more flexibility, and it brought the enclosure cost down from$399 to $350.

19:14Jenn Cutter: But they also removed some of the ports, so you're not getting as much as you got before. No on-sale date for that one yet. And Seagate announced that anyone can now buy its 30-terabyte drives that use heat-assisted magnetic recording, and it'll cost you$600. Go to Seagate, look for the Exos M or the NAS-optimized Iron Wolf Pro versions. If you're like, whoa, whoa, 30 terabytes, that's a little must. You can also downgrade to 28 terabytes for$570.

19:47Andy Beach: I have a four-terabyte drive, and I'm thinking, what am I going to do with this? It holds all my media backups and all my editing work, 4K footage and stuff, and I'm thinking, 30! What would I do with 30?

20:00Jenn Cutter: Yeah, you could take seven of your four terabyte drives and buy the cheaper one, the 28 terabyte, and be good.

20:10Andy Beach: Several researchers into various AI models published a position paper Tuesday calling for more investigation into how to monitor the chain of thought that reasoning models use to come up with answers. Current visibility is good, and the authors of the paper want to keep that transparency as a priority as new models develop. They also call for a continued study of how that monitoring could be used as a safety measure. Signatories included OpenAI Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, Safe Superintelligence CEO Ilya Suskiver, noble laureate Jeffrey Hinton, Google DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg, XAI safety advisor Dan Hendricks, and Thinking Machines co-founder John Schulman.

20:54Andy Beach: It also included scientists from the UK AI Security Institute, Apollo Research, Meter, Amazon, Meta, and UC Berkeley. So a lot of people are on board right here.

21:07Jenn Cutter: Yeah, this is one of those significant papers where the smart people who do stuff say, we need to make sure we follow this. And I like it when you get a wide variety of people, like you've got Ilya Sutskover on one end with Jeffrey Hinton kind of close to him, but then you also have people like Dan Hendricks and Mark Chen all agreeing like, no, we think we need to make sure this keeps going in the future. And that's something worth paying attention to. Korea's Jungang Daily reports that Apple has chosen Samsung Display to make the screens for a potential foldable, well, I'm saying iPhone, but it could be an iPad.

21:45Jenn Cutter: We don't know. But for a foldable device with a launch plan for next summer, 2026, Apple has partnered with Samsung on its current iPhone screens. So the selection makes sense. Analysts at UBS think that this could mean the selling price of Apple's foldable would be around$2 ,000 instead of what a lot of reports had estimated of$2 ,400. Still expensive, but less expensive than they thought.

22:07Andy Beach: You know, I hadn't thought about a foldable iPad. That one interests me.

22:12Jenn Cutter: Right. And I can't tell from the various analysts what's more likely, but I think whatever it is, it's both. You know what I mean? Like, maybe it won't have as much in it if it's a foldable iPad, but if it's a foldable phone, maybe it unfolds into a tablet. You know what I'm saying?

22:30Andy Beach: And finally, Skype for Business got a life extension. The consumer app closed earlier this year and the business version was set to end in October. However, affected businesses may now purchase an extra six months of support that will end on April 14th, 2026.

22:48Jenn Cutter: Skype lives! Sort of, kind of, for a little while longer. April 14th is my dog's birthday. He'll be two years old when this ends. So those are the essentials for today. Let's dive a little deeper.

23:00Andy Beach: A new startup is promising to reinvent AI video from the ground up and with ethics front and center. And yes, Comcast and CAA are backing it. Andy Beach tells us more about it.

23:14Jenn Cutter: Andy, welcome back. Good to talk to you, man. Tom, great to see you, man. All right. So the idea of ethical AI seems to be getting a little bit more momentum. Tell me about Moon Valley. Yeah. So Moon Valley has been around for a little bit. We may have even talked about them in past months when they announced about their ethical AI model, Mary. The Toronto-based company has finally launched it. It launched last week. But on the heels of that, they announced this week that they raised$84 million in new funding, which brings them to a total of 154 million. And sort of the big deal in this one was that Comcast Ventures and CAA were part of the VC pool that backed this time.

24:00Jenn Cutter: So is that a sign that the industry vets, right? Comcast owns NBC, CAA owns the contracts of every actor, you know, a big chunk of them anyway. Does that mean that they are saying, ah, this seems safe? This seems like the horse we want to back? Yeah, I think this definitely differentiates them as a model maker from the likes of OpenAI with Sora, Runway, and their video models, the other elements that even Veo is doing at Google. I think the fact that they have this ability to not only call it self-ethical out of the gate, but also the trappings and the ability to sort of trace provenance on elements and be able to verify that they have effectively the receipts for where they trained things is really winning hearts and minds in the studio crowd right now who have been hungry to use more of this.

25:02And they're constantly blocked by legal on their side. And so the fact that this sort of checks a box for the legal parts of the studio systems and has the blessings of actors who have put up a lot of contention about -

25:18Jenn Cutter: Checks the union part of it as well. Exactly. So I think this, you know, it puts them in a good, strong position now. Now the hard part comes, which is they have to go prove it. You know, they call themselves production grade, which has a very loose definition in the Hollywood world of, you know, is that 4K? Is it more than 4K? What is the color space that I'm working in for it? So there's a lot of elements that we'll see that they now have to go truly prove themselves on. And to my mind, the tricky part really does come now because they're going to see innovations. All of all these studios who now sort of have a green light to go use this are going to see innovations by the likes of Veo or Runway or others.

25:59And they're going to say, well, I want that in here. And it's going to be a question of how quickly can Moon Valley update Mary to to stay competitive with all these other features that, quote unquote, non-ethical or or unapproved models have.

26:13Jenn Cutter: Yeah, it sort of reminds me in a weird way of Apple Pay coming out and causing Samsung to use an old technology that could read magnetic cards to say like, well, we're more compatible. And then big pharmacy chains like CVS were like, but we want to control the user experience. And in the end, Apple Pay and Android Pay won because they had the user base, right? And I wonder if there's something similar here where, if you remember, when OpenAI came out with their video generator, everybody was like, oh, my God, this is it. This is going to kill Hollywood. And then Google trumped them with one that could sync up audio.

26:53Jenn Cutter: And OpenAI will catch up here shortly. I'm not worried about that. But can Moon Valley be in that kind of horse race? And that will be the trickiest part, I think, for them is they check that box on sort of rights and provenance and they remove that from the conversation, which gets them into the rooms that the others can't. But now they're going to have to make sure that they're using this big investment that they just had to continually try and stay ahead on feature parity, which will be a challenge. Yeah. Well, this is the kind of thing that we rely on you to keep us updated on. And so I appreciate you bringing this to us, Andy.

27:32Jenn Cutter: If folks want to constantly get your thoughts, they can. Where should they go? Yeah, absolutely. I'm writing about all of these kinds of things and more on my sub stack. It's called Engines of Change, and that's Engines of Change.ai. Thanks, Andy. So look, we got ethically sourced cement and AI in one episode, Jen.

27:51Andy Beach: Yeah, and I guess both of them come with receipts, and that's a really important thing. Yeah.

29:21Andy Beach: We end every episode of DTNS with some shared wisdom. Today, Bede shares perspectives from the land of Moa.

29:29Jenn Cutter: Yeah, so Dr. Nick and I were talking about the Peter Jackson project with Colossus, or Colossal, to claim that they're going to try to resurrect this ancient bird, the Moa. Bede writes, Hi, DTNS crew. I enjoyed that discussion. I live in New Zealand and do a lot of hiking in the bush and mountains here. While it'd be pretty cool to have an extinct species brought back to life, I really don't want to come face to face with a 12 foot bird in the middle of nowhere. New Zealand doesn't really have any dangerous animals in the bush. So suddenly having one would be a big change. We do have wild goats and boar, which will usually run away from you, but can cause injuries if they're provoked or threatened.

30:13Jenn Cutter: Anyway, keep up the great work. Na mihi bead. Thank you for that perspective of someone in, well, not in the bush, but who can go into the bush from time to time, not wanting to encounter a moa.

30:26Andy Beach: Yeah, you don't accidentally walk into like the next Jurassic Park.

30:29Jenn Cutter: Yeah, exactly. And when you got Peter Jackson involved, but you know, it's a big budget. Yeah.

30:36Andy Beach: So what are you thinking about? Do you have some insight into a story? Please share it with us over at feedback at dailytechnewsshow.com.
