00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,760 in equity and ultimate control of the company. 97 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,740 This change comes just as Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati announced her departure 98 00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:32,640 leaving employees stunned and questioning the company's direction. 99 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,260 The promise of shared profits seems overshadowed by this new corporate reality raising concerns 100 00:08:38,260 --> 00:08:42,640 about OpenAI's original mission. 101 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:49,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $65,300. 102 00:08:49,000 -->

00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,120 left Google in 2021 after the company declined to release its chatbot. 121 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:28,480 Following challenges with his startup, character, AI, Google re-entered the scene licensing 122 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,440 characters technology while securing Shazir's return. 123 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,880 His comeback raises questions about whether tech companies are excessively spending in 124 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,000 this evolving landscape. 125 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,960 Entertainment news. 126 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:52,440 In a

Suicide Squad and Morbius. 130 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,640 He described the set's interesting vibe, noting that Leto, who is also a producer, 131 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,920 prefers to be called

create. 134 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,400 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 135 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:41,040 And today, our quote comes from the British writer and theologian C.S. Lewis. 136 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,040 He said, 137 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:48,080 We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about 138 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,280 turn and walking back to the right road. 139 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,800 In that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. 140 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,420 And that's a wrap for this morning. 141 00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:07,400 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 142 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,800 with local news and the surf reports. 143 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,760 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 144 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:40,400 We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
