One surfer described a 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.920 terrifying encounter with a feral, almost demonic 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.959 sea lion that bit him and dragged him off his 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.480 surfboard.

In local 00:05:53.610 --> 00:05:57.610 sports, the Kings dominated the Sharks last night 00:05:57.610 --> 00:06:00.889 with an impressive 8 -1 victory in Los Angeles. 00:06:01.949 --> 00:06:05.730 Adrian Kemp and Warren Fogle each netted two 00:06:05.730 --> 00:06:09.500 goals, leading the charge.

Maxi Kleber remains out as he recovers 00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:53.149 from right foot surgery, limiting front court 00:06:53.149 --> 00:06:56.629 options for Houston.

However, recent FDA regulations threaten 00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:40.589 their future. HIMSS claims its Fosempic generated 00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:46.029 $225 million in revenue in 2024, and its ads 00:07:46.029 --> 00:07:48.930 now encourage users to quickly support continued 00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:52.569 access to these treatments. The compounded versions 00:07:52.569 --> 00:07:55.389 cost significantly less than the brand -name 00:07:55.389 --> 00:07:58.410 alternatives, yet transparency remains an issue. 00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:04.259 In business news, an entrepreneur, Jeremy Gulbin, 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.620 is tackling the daunting challenge of revitalizing 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.000 local news through his ownership of 92 community 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.420 newspapers across the United States.

While at 00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:28.910 his company, Cherry Road Media, saw $30 million 00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:33.009 in revenue last year, profitability remains elusive. 00:08:33.909 --> 00:08:36.629 Gulben's goal is to foster community connections 00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:39.429 through journalism, despite struggling to hire 00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:43.490 reporters. As local newspapers close, he remains 00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:46.350 committed to finding solutions, believing that 00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:50.509 saving small newspapers is crucial.

Cloudflare is introducing 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.139 a new tool called AI Labyrinth to combat web 00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:10.659 scraping bots. Instead of blocking these crawlers, 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:12.980 the company invites them to navigate through 00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:17.080 a web of useless, AI -generated pages designed 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:22.590 to slow down, confuse, and waste resources. Cloudflare 00:10:22.590 --> 00:10:25.350 reports handling over 50 billion web crawler 00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:28.250 requests daily and aims to outsmart malicious 00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:31.549 bots by leading them into a trap of fake data. 00:10:32.490 --> 00:10:35.029 Website administrators can opt in through the 00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:37.570 bot management section of their Cloudflare dashboard. 00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:41.330 This is just the beginning of Cloudflare's efforts 00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:44.769 to use generative AI to thwart bots effectively. 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:53.379 In a surprising turn, Jason Statham's action 00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:56.940 thriller, A Working Man, led the box office with 00:10:56.940 --> 00:11:02.600 $15 ,200 ,000 in its opening weekend. Directed 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.000 by David Ayer, the film dethroned Disney's Snow 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.379 White, which dropped over 66 % in its second 00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:16.299 week, earning $14 ,200 ,000. Snow White has made 00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:20.830 $66 .8 million domestically. But with a budget 00:11:20.830 --> 00:11:25.210 exceeding $250 million, it faces challenges ahead. 00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:29.490 Competing for family audiences next weekend is 00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.629 the Warner Bros. adaptation, a Minecraft movie. 00:11:33.649 --> 00:11:37.009 Overall, box office revenues remain sluggish, 00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:41.789 lagging behind previous years.

Nothing 00:11:57.590 --> 00:12:02.769 can be done without hope and confidence. And 00:12:02.769 --> 00:12:05.850 that's a wrap for this morning.
