Finally, a critical possession 00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:20.870 error awarded the ball to the Warriors instead 00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:23.589 of the Grizzlies, impacting the game's outcome 00:05:23.589 --> 00:05:27.899 significantly.

Historically, 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.660 sodium for battery production has been a pipe 00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:20.660 dream, but Natron Energy Incorporated, based 00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:23.639 in Holland, Michigan, is now producing these 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.980 batteries at scale. The company's plant opened 00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:30.740 in April 2024 with plans for significant expansion. 00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:35.159 Sodium -ion batteries are cheaper and safer than 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.220 lithium -ion options. appealing to data centers 00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:41.759 and other industries requiring rapid power discharge. 00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:46.039 While sodium may not dominate the market, it 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.799 is emerging as a viable alternative in specific 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.139 applications, particularly as demand for energy 00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:57.460 storage surges. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is 00:08:57.460 --> 00:09:03.139 up 1 % to about $84 ,000. Ethereum is unchanged 00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:08.269 at just under $1 ,600. And Goatsy's Maximus is 00:09:08.269 --> 00:09:14.289 down 8 % to 4 cents. Moving on to a more local 00:09:14.289 --> 00:09:18.429 vibe.

OpenAI is reportedly developing 00:10:07.789 --> 00:10:11.529 its own social network, reminiscent of X, according 00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:15.169 to various sources. The project is still in its 00:10:15.169 --> 00:10:17.870 early stages, featuring an internal prototype 00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:22.049 that integrates ChatGPT's image generation with 00:10:22.049 --> 00:10:26.610 a social feed. CEO Sam Altman has been seeking 00:10:26.610 --> 00:10:29.549 feedback from outsiders, though it remains uncertain 00:10:29.549 --> 00:10:32.809 whether this will be a standalone app or integrated 00:10:32.809 --> 00:10:36.620 into ChatGPT. which was the most downloaded app 00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:40.120 globally last month. This move could heighten 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.600 Altman's rivalry with Elon Musk and create competition 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.559 with Meta, which is also planning a social feed 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:55.659 for its AI assistant. Teenagers are causing a 00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:58.100 stir at screenings of the new Minecraft movie, 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.059 thanks to a scene featuring a chicken jockey 00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:05.200 that has ignited chaos. Audiences are reportedly 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.559 throwing popcorn, squirting lotion, and even 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.720 releasing live poultry in theaters. In response, 00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:15.720 police had to intervene at a multiplex in Alaska, 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.200 while a theater in New Jersey is now requiring 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.200 adult supervision for teens at these screenings. 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.220 Despite the uproar, the film had a strong opening, 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:32.960 grossing $163 million. Well, alrighty, folks. 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.039 It's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.899 our quote comes from the Italian religious leader, 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:45.500 Francis of Assisi. And he said, Start by doing 00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:48.500 what's necessary, then do what's possible, and 00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:53.120 suddenly you are doing the impossible.
