00:03:50,320 Sunny mornings send you. 49 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:56,960 In local news, San Diego is advancing plans to establish a vast electric vehicle charging 50 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,980 network aiming to facilitate electric car ownership and transition its 5,000 vehicle 51 00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:05,880 fleet away from gasoline. 52 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,720 The city has chosen true upside consulting to deploy the network across 400 parking lots 53 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,920 in various public areas requiring no initial investment from the city. 54 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,240 However, a 10 year revenue sharing deal might lead San Diego to reimburse up to 60 million 55 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,400 dollars for the infrastructure with hopes of covering costs through revenue and grants. 56 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Despite the potential benefits, city council members have raised concerns about the financial 57 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,360 implications seeking a detailed assessment before approval. 58 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,660 This initiative is part of San Diego's broader climate action goals including significant 59 00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:55,360 reductions in emissions and a shift towards an all electric vehicle fleet. 60 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Now on to sports. 61 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:05,160 Caitlin Clark led the Iowa Hawkeyes to a thrilling 94 to 87 victory over the LSU Tigers advancing 62 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,840 to their second consecutive Final Four. 63 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:13,960 In this high stakes rematch of last year's championship game, Clark's outstanding performance 64 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,160 included 41 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds. 65 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,120 Her achievements not only underscored her status as this season's standout star, but 66 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,320 also broke multiple records. 67 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,480 As the regionals' most outstanding player, Clark's focus remains on capturing the national 68 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,420 championship that eluded Iowa last year. 69 00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:43,080 The victory over LSU, a team that previously bested Iowa decisively, showcased the Hawkeyes' 70 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,320 determination and skill with Clark's long range shots particularly highlighting their 71 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,920 third quarter dominance. 72 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,680 This win brings Clark and Iowa one step closer to their ultimate goal while her record breaking 73 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:04,160 senior season continues to cement her legacy in college basketball history. 74 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:13,480 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Cardinals 6 to 2 and in national 75 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,760 hockey the Kings on the road lost to the Jets 4 to 3. 76 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,300 Tonight the Padres are at home again to play the Cardinals. 77 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:31,280 In the NBA, the Lakers are on the road in Toronto to take on the Raptors. 78 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,080 And the Clippers are on the road in Sacramento to play the Kings. 79 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:45,760 In top news, Cognition Labs, an AI startup focusing on a tool for coding, is in discussions 80 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:52,140 to secure a valuation of up to $2 billion in its latest funding round. 81 00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:57,640 This valuation would mark a significant increase nearly six times its valuation from just a 82 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 few weeks prior. 83 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Backed by prominent Silicon Valley venture firms including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, 84 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,480 Cognition Labs is riding the wave of intense interest in AI technology. 85 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:17,000 Despite being in its early stages and lacking significant revenue, Cognition's potential 86 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,840 is underscored by the investor enthusiasm surrounding AI startups, mirroring the rapid 87 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,880 valuations seen in companies like Mistral and Perplexity. 88 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:34,040 With its AI coding tool, Devon, Cognition aims to revolutionize software development 89 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,080 through automation, indicating a broader trend towards the integration of AI in coding and 90 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,720 software development amidst growing concerns of an AI industry bubble. 91 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,320 In business news, let's take a moment and look back on the history of Bitcoin. 92 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:01,560 Bitcoin's journey since its creation in 2009 has been marked by remarkable growth and significant 93 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,960 volatility, showcasing its evolution from a novel digital currency to a major investment 94 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,000 vehicle. 95 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,280 Originally valued at less than a penny, Bitcoin's worth skyrocketed to over $70,000 by March 96 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:24,780 2024, demonstrating both its investment potential and its susceptibility to dramatic price fluctuations. 97 00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:31,520 The cryptocurrency founded by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto operates on a blockchain, 98 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,600 offering a decentralized alternative to traditional currency. 99 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Despite its use in criminal activities, Bitcoin's appeal lies in its independence from central 100 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,280 bank regulation. 101 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,800 Over the years, Bitcoin has witnessed several key milestones, from the first real-world 102 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,760 transaction where 10,000 Bitcoins were exchanged for two pizzas, to regulatory actions by the 103 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:04,920 IRS, and its adoption by entire countries like El Salvador as legal tender. 104 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Moving events aimed at reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins are mined, and predictions 105 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,640 by investors like Cathie Wood about its future value, have also been pivotal. 106 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:23,080 As of 2024, with another halving anticipated, Bitcoin remains a potent symbol of the digital 107 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,040 age's financial innovation. 108 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:32,680 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just below $67,000. 109 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,520 Time is at $3,300. 110 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,040 And Solana is $184. 111 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,480 Moving on to a more local vibe. 112 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,400 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 113 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,760 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 114 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,680 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 115

00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,600 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 118 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,880 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 119 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,160 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 120 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,280 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 121 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,960 And now, back to the show. 122 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,680 Let's talk science. 123 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:40,040 The Odysseus lunar lander, developed by Intuitive Machines, made a historic landing on the moon, 124 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:46,000 marking the first U.S. mission to the lunar surface since 1972. 125 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Despite a challenging landing that resulted in the spacecraft tipping over, it remains 126 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,120 operational. 127 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,800 Launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, Odysseus represents the first successful soft landing 128 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:06,440 by a private spacecraft, part of NASA's initiative to engage private companies in lunar exploration. 129 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,000 The mission overcame obstacles, including navigation issues and communication challenges, 130 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,760 to continue its scientific objectives on the moon. 131 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:21,760 And in entertainment news. 132 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:28,440 Bruce Springsteen made a significant cameo on the penultimate episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, 133 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,960 showcasing his natural talent for acting. 134 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,840 Playing himself, Springsteen effortlessly fits into the show's universe, interacting 135 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,880 with Larry David's character in a storyline that combines humor with a bit of social commentary. 136 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,360 His performance, while playing a version of himself, suggests Springsteen could explore 137 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,900 more acting roles. 138 00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:57,080 This cameo not only adds to the list of memorable guest appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm, 139 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,520 but also highlights Springsteen's potential for a second act in his career within the 140 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,080 acting world. 141 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 142 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:17,120 And today, our quote comes from Stanley Kubrick, the acclaimed director of 2001, A Space Odyssey, 143 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Full Metal Jacket, Spartacus, and many more. 144 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,440 Reminds me of a conversation I had with Steven Spielberg about what was the most difficult 145 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,680 and challenging thing about directing a film. 146 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:37,760 And I believe Steven summed it up about as profoundly as you can. 147 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,620 He thought the most difficult and challenging thing about directing a film was getting out 148 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:45,760 of the car. 149 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,800 I'm sure you all know the feeling. 150 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:56,520 But at the same time, anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows 151 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,320 that although it can be like trying to write War and Peace in a bumper car in an amusement 152 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,160 park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the 153 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,000 feeling. 154 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,640 And that's a wrap for this morning. 155 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:20,800 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 156 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,200 with local news and the surf reports. 157 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 158 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:46,160 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
