part of its Jack on Track initiative aimed at
improving financial performance. This includes
80 to 120 closures over the next few years, focusing
on underperforming restaurants, many of which
have been in operation for over 30 years. The
company, which operates approximately 2 ,200
outlets across 22 states, will also explore the
sale of the Del Taco chain, acquired in 2022
for around $585 million. The CDO emphasized a
shift to a simplified and asset -light business
model to enhance shareholder returns. Now on
to sports. In 2024, Michael Jordan earned an
astounding $300 million, surpassing Cristiano
Ronaldo's $260 million, making him the world's
highest -paid active athlete. After retiring
from the NBA in 1993, Jordan famously stated
he would need a contract of $300 million to return
for money. His impressive income is largely due
to his partnership with Nike, which started in
1984 and has generated significant revenue, including
$7 billion last year. Jordan's total career earnings
have reached $3 billion, bolstered by investments,
most notably in the Charlotte Hornets. Yesterday
afternoon at Petco, the Friars fell to the Rays

training a new artificial intelligence model
called Dolphin Gemma to decode dolphin vocalizations
with hopes of enabling humans to communicate
back. Set for an open source release this summer,
Dolphin Gemma is based on decades of research
from the Wild Dolphin Project, which has gathered
extensive audio and video data from Atlantic
spotted dolphins in the Bahamas. This model identifies
patterns in dolphin sounds, potentially revealing
insights beyond human perception. Additionally,
researchers are developing a device named Chat,
which will help dolphins learn to mimic sounds
associated with specific objects. However, the
debate continues over whether animal communication
constitutes true language. In business news,
OpenAI's Chief Executive Officer Sam Allman revealed
that the company's electricity costs have surged
tens of millions of dollars due to users being
polite to chat GPT. A recent survey indicated
that 67 % of individuals in the United States
use polite language with AI, with some citing
concerns over a potential AI uprising. However,
politeness comes with an energy cost. A report
found that ChatGPT consumes 1 billion and 59
million kilowatt hours annually, leading to an
estimated annual expenditure of about $140 million.
Despite these costs, OpenAI remains financially
robust, having recently raised $40 billion. In

mission, scientists have drilled deeper into
the Earth's mantle than ever before, providing
a rare opportunity to study this vast layer.
They extracted a core measuring 1 ,268 meters,
revealing serpentinized peridotite, formed by
the interaction of saltwater and mantle rock.
Although they did not reach the Mohorovicic discontinuity,
or MOVO, the study offers valuable insights into
the composition of the upper mantle, including
Harsburgite and Gabros. With the future of such
drilling missions uncertain, This research could
illuminate the processes that have shaped our
planet. Entertainment news. In The Accountant
