In local news, Diablo 00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:51.819 Canyon, California's only remaining nuclear power 00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:55.479 plant, is set to begin decommissioning in 2029, 00:03:55.659 --> 00:03:58.740 but it is now integrating artificial intelligence. 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.659 Pacific Gas and Electric announced the deployment 00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:06.120 of an artificial intelligence tool, Neutron Enterprise, 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.439 designed to assist workers with extensive technical 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.270 documents. This initiative marks the first on 00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:16.529 -site generative AI deployment at a U .S. nuclear 00:04:16.529 --> 00:04:20.629 facility. While Neutron Enterprise aims to enhance 00:04:20.629 --> 00:04:23.370 efficiency, concerns remain about the potential 00:04:23.370 --> 00:04:27.730 risks of AI in this sensitive environment. Lawmakers 00:04:27.730 --> 00:04:30.509 are calling for stricter regulations to ensure 00:04:30.509 --> 00:04:34.110 safety as AI technologies evolve in the nuclear 00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:43.470 sector. Now on to sports. In a shocking move, 00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:46.230 the Denver Nuggets have fired head coach Michael 00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:49.529 Malone and general manager Calvin Booth just 00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:54.790 days before the 2025 NBA playoffs. Malone, who 00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:57.790 led the franchise to its first -ever NBA championship 00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:00.930 two years ago, was dismissed with three games 00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:04.089 remaining in the regular season amid a four -game 00:05:04.089 --> 00:05:08.870 losing streak. ESPN's Shams Charania reported 00:05:08.870 --> 00:05:12.389 the news, leaving the NBA community in disbelief. 00:05:13.149 --> 00:05:16.209 David Adalman has been named the interim head 00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:20.449 coach. With superstar Nikola Jokic vying for 00:05:20.449 --> 00:05:23.910 his fourth NBA Most Valuable Player award, the 00:05:23.910 --> 00:05:26.610 team's direction is uncertain as they battle 00:05:26.610 --> 00:05:30.250 for playoff positioning. Stay tuned for updates. 00:05:31.449 --> 00:05:36.310 In local sports.

Despite Machado's mammoth homer in the 00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:46.990 first, Harers plagued San Diego as Gurriel and 00:05:46.990 --> 00:05:52.209 Wilson capitalized for the A's. Springs snagged 00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:55.029 the win, while Cease took the loss after allowing 00:05:55.029 --> 00:05:59.089 nine earned runs. The Padres' record now sits 00:05:59.089 --> 00:06:05.230 at 9 -3. as the Athletics improved to 5 -7.

Shy 00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:35.399 Gilchrist Alexander led the Thunder with 42 points. 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.860 The Lakers shot 70 % from the field but struggled 00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:43.899 with 19 turnovers. The team's record now stands 00:06:43.899 --> 00:06:47.139 at 48 -30, maintaining their position in first 00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:51.040 place. Tonight, the Lakers face off against the 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.860 Dallas Mavericks, who are 38 -41 at the American 00:06:54.860 --> 00:07:00.170 Airlines Center. Tip -off is at 4 .30.

In top news, a groundbreaking 00:07:19.410 --> 00:07:22.410 study reveals a hidden component of the human 00:07:22.410 --> 00:07:25.529 immune system that could be a goldmine for new 00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:29.290 antibiotics. Researchers from the Wiseman Institute 00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:32.230 of Science in Israel discovered that proteasomes, 00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:36.069 which recycle old proteins, also produce peptides 00:07:36.069 --> 00:07:39.750 that combat bacterial infections. When these 00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:41.990 peptide -producing abilities were suppressed, 00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:45.230 bacterial infections thrived, highlighting their 00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:48.629 critical role. The team identified a control 00:07:48.629 --> 00:07:52.610 unit called PSME3 that enhances the production 00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:55.600 of these bacteria -fighting peptides. suggesting 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.420 a new pathway for personalized treatments. While 00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:02.040 experts caution that practical applications are 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.680 years away, this discovery opens exciting possibilities 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.279 for medical advancements. In business news, in 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.420 a surprising shift, President Donald Trump has 00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:16.939 instructed the Justice Department to disband 00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:19.519 its cryptocurrency crime investigation unit, 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.740 known as the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:26.959 Unit. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch stated 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.620 that the Justice Department is not a digital 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.500 assets regulator and criticized the previous 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:36.600 administration's approach to regulation. Established 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.519 in 2021, the unit investigated fraudulent cryptocurrency 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.820 operations and cybercrimes. Despite Trump's past 00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:47.879 opposition to cryptocurrencies, he has recently 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.639 embraced the industry. issuing pardons related 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.899 to crypto violations and launching his own MemeCon. 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.940 Critics argue this move opens the door for exploitation, 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.419 while some advocates welcome the focus on genuine 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:06.379 offenders. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:13.240 5 % to $76 ,000. Ethereum is down 10 % to just 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.139 over $1 ,400.

Elon Musk's Department 00:10:15.779 --> 00:10:18.720 of Government Efficiency, also known as Doge, 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.659 plans to hold a hackathon next week to create 00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:25.419 a mega -API for accessing internal revenue service 00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:29.299 data, according to reports from Wired. The goal 00:10:29.299 --> 00:10:31.740 is to transfer this data to a cloud platform, 00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:34.960 potentially a third -party one, serving as the 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.980 agency's red center. The hackathon will involve 00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:42.539 dozens of IRS engineers in Washington, D .C. 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.740 aiming to complete the API in just 30 days. However, 00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:51.159 one IRS employee stated that this timeline is 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.580 not technically possible and could cripple the 00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:58.399 IRS. Concerns about the project's feasibility 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.340 have been raised, highlighting a lack of experience 00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:09.740 among its orchestrators. In a surprising turn, 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:13.340 Brad Pitt is set to reprise his role as the colorful 00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:17.019 stuntman Cliff Booth in a follow -up to Quentin 00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:20.179 Tarantino's acclaimed film Once Upon a Time in 00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:23.679 Hollywood. This time, David Fincher will take 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.700 the helm as director, utilizing a script penned 00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:30.419 by Tarantino himself. The project will be developed 00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:33.419 at Netflix, where Fincher has a first -look deal. 00:11:34.059 --> 00:11:37.590 While details remain scarce, it is unclear if 00:11:37.590 --> 00:11:40.769 Leonardo DiCaprio will return as fading star 00:11:40.769 --> 00:11:45.169 Rick Dalton.
