victory over the Indiana Pacers 63 00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:05,520 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, giving them a two-game series lead. 64 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,880 Brown's performance,

--> 00:06:59,920 allowing mainstream investors to trade this cryptocurrency like stocks or mutual funds. 86 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:05,280 This surprising move enables the trading of spot Ether ETS, boosting accessibility for 87 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,320 investors. 88 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Other asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity are set to launch these funds pending further 89 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,840 approvals. 90 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,920 The decision marks a shift from SEC Chair Gary Jensler's previous stance on crypto 91 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:26,200 regulation and suggests the potential openness to other cryptocurrency-backed funds, despite 92 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:32,340 some opposition citing Ether's volatility and susceptibility to fraud. 93 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:37,880 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $68,000. 94 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400 Ethereum is $3,800. 95 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,440 And Solana is $171. 96

show. 107 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,680 Let's talk tech. 108 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:45,520 Spotify's decision to break its Carthing devices on December 9 has left owners frustrated, 109 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,080 as the company offers no refunds or trade-in options. 110 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,200 Carthing, initially launched in 2021, was designed to enhance in-car Spotify use, but 111 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,840 required a Spotify Premium subscription and a connected phone, making it seem redundant. 112 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:09,480 Despite halting production in 2022, Spotify continued to sell the device. 113 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Users are now pleading for the company to open-source the device to avoid e-waste, but 114 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,560 Spotify has not responded to these requests, citing their initial goal of understanding 115 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,360 in-car listening habits. 116 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:30,960 And in entertainment news, Scarlett Johansson's dispute with OpenAI highlights Hollywood's 117 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,960 concerns over AI's impact on intellectual property. 118 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,960 After declining to voice an AI assistant, Johansson was shocked to hear a voice, eerily 119 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,200 similar to hers, in OpenAI's demo. 120 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,920 This prompted legal action and demands for transparency. 121 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,680 OpenAI denies mimicking Johansson's voice, yet halted using the voice amidst the controversy. 122 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:01,320 The incident underscores the need for clear regulations and consent regarding the use 123 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:07,920 of artist likenesses in AI, as Hollywood grapples with a rapid advancement of generative AI 124 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,920 technologies. 125 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:15,120 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 126 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,840 And today, our quote comes from the engineer who designed the Brooklyn Bridge, John Augustus 127 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840 Roebling. 128 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,840 He said, 129 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:31,280 They will no longer suit the spirit of the present age to pronounce an undertaking impracticable. 130 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:37,400 Nothing is impracticable which is within the scope of natural law. 131 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 And that's a wrap for this morning. 132 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 133 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,480 with local news and the surf reports. 134 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 135 00:10:51,480 --> 00:11:11,480 We'll see you Monday
