In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we begin with the FTC's new rule banning fake and AI-generated reviews, a significant step towards combating deceptive online practices and protecting consumers in the digital marketplace. This move aims to enhance the reliability of online reviews, especially as AI generated content increases, and maintain fair competition among businesses.We then turn to SpaceX's upcoming Polaris Dawn mission set to make history with the first-ever private spacewalk. Funded and commanded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, this ambitious mission will push the boundaries of commercial space exploration, testing new spacesuit technology, conducting research on the effects of space radiation on human health, and testing Starlink laser-based communications in space.  The mission will also attempt to reach record-breaking altitudes not seen since the Apollo era. The final segment focuses on the alarming discovery and accumulation of microplastics in human brains. We explore how microplastics infiltrate the brain, their potential effects on neurological function, and the implications for public health as environmental plastic pollution continues to rise.From Perplexity's Discover Feed): https://www.perplexity.ai/page/ftc-bans-ai-generated-reviews-nyUvgrZkR2i9OZmrSh42_g)https://www.perplexity.ai/page/spacex-plans-first-space-walk-MfgHVlIzSgaT9FPziqBqLg)https://www.perplexity.ai/page/microplastics-found-in-human-b-br1yKSQzT_W4M0NkS4iADA)
