Now on to sports. 00:04:43.209 --> 00:04:46.149 In a concerning turn of events, the Golden State 00:04:46.149 --> 00:04:48.730 Warriors may have lost their significant trade 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.290 deadline acquisition, Jimmy Butler. During the 00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:54.709 first quarter of Wednesday's playoff game against 00:04:54.709 --> 00:04:58.170 the Houston Rockets, Butler was undercut by Amon 00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:01.089 Thompson while jumping for a rebound, resulting 00:05:01.089 --> 00:05:04.329 in a nasty fall that left him riding on the floor. 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.699 He eventually limped to the locker room due to 00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:10.360 obvious pain and was later ruled out for the 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.680 remainder of the game with a pelvic contusion. 00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:17.120 The Warriors, who have a record of 23 wins and 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.560 7 losses since acquiring Butler, face challenges 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.720 ahead if he misses significant time.

Although there is considerable 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:17.680 magma beneath Yellowstone, the researchers assert 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.040 that an eruption is not imminent as the system 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.959 remains stable and is efficiently venting gas 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:29.509 through cracks.

Some ChatGPT users are 00:09:24.730 --> 00:09:27.450 expressing frustration over what they describe 00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:31.889 as the bot's relentlessly positive tone. Many 00:09:31.889 --> 00:09:35.970 feel that ChatGPT, particularly the GPT for a 00:09:35.970 --> 00:09:39.309 model, has veered into sycophancy, showering 00:09:39.309 --> 00:09:42.009 praise on users for even the simplest questions. 00:09:42.789 --> 00:09:46.909 One software engineer noted, ChatGPT is suddenly 00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:50.379 the biggest suck -up I've ever met. This behavior 00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:53.840 stems from OpenAI's training methods, which encourage 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.259 responses that flatter users, often sacrificing 00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:01.500 accuracy for positive feedback. While OpenAI 00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:04.639 acknowledges this issue, they have yet to address 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.279 it publicly. Users can adjust settings for a 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.639 more neutral tone or explore alternative AI models. 00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:20.409 Next week, Marvel's Thunderbolts will hit theaters, 00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:23.669 marking the debut of a sea team of reluctant 00:10:23.669 --> 00:10:27.789 heroes.
