Jordan stated, we have to find some synergy 00:05:22.569 --> 00:05:27.129 between the two entities. And last night, on 00:05:27.129 --> 00:05:29.910 Thursday Night Football, Kirk Cousins led the 00:05:29.910 --> 00:05:33.970 Atlanta Falcons to a thrilling 29 -28 comeback 00:05:33.970 --> 00:05:38.149 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Despite facing 00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:53.199 a 28 -14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Falcons 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.720 overcame a franchise record 19 penalties. Baker 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.000 Mayfield's crucial interception in the fourth 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.339 quarter contributed to the Buccaneers' fifth 00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:06.420 loss in six games. Fitz finished with 11 catches 00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:11.500 for 166 yards and three touchdowns, a first for 00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:18.180 a tight end since 1996. In local sports, The 00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.399 Chargers are aiming for back -to -back 10 -win 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.439 seasons as they face the Kansas City Chiefs, 00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:27.100 who are in danger of playoff elimination. The 00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:30.420 Chargers hold a 9 -win, 4 -loss record and recently 00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:34.819 defeated the Super Bowl Champion Eagles. In contrast, 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.300 the Chiefs are struggling at 6 wins and 7 losses, 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.720 facing a mere 10 % chance of making the playoffs. 00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:45.529 Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert emphasized 00:06:45.529 --> 00:06:48.129 the importance of meaningful games as they worked 00:06:48.129 --> 00:06:51.250 to secure a playoff spot, while Chiefs quarterback 00:06:51.250 --> 00:06:53.990 Patrick Mahomes reflected on their unexpected 00:06:53.990 --> 00:06:58.550 challenges this season. Kickoff is at 10 on CBS. 00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:04.629 In top news, people are nicer than you think. 00:07:05.509 --> 00:07:08.069 We consistently underestimate how much others 00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:11.899 like us, which may hurt our social lives. In 00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:14.939 a phenomenon dubbed the liking gap, people tend 00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:18.560 to like us better than we believe. Research shows 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.199 that nearly 87 % of lost wallets are returned 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.139 much higher than expected. Experts believe this 00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:28.720 pessimism about others can hinder connections 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.160 and increase loneliness. To combat these misjudgments, 00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:36.600 regular practice of engaging with others is essential. 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.529 Open up, be vulnerable. and trust that others 00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:44.209 will respond positively because kindness is often 00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:48.470 greater than we anticipate. In business news, 00:07:49.629 --> 00:07:53.610 Disney will invest $1 billion in OpenAI, marking 00:07:53.610 --> 00:07:56.709 a significant partnership that enhances Sora 00:07:56.709 --> 00:08:00.389 in Hollywood. Users of the AI video creation 00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:03.569 platform will now create clips featuring characters 00:08:03.569 --> 00:08:08.079 from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars. This three 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.980 -year deal represents a shift for Hollywood studios, 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.560 allowing them to monetize their intellectual 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.480 property through licensing agreements. Disney 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.399 Plus will host fan -inspired Sora short -form 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.180 videos, launching in early 2026. Disney CEO Bob 00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:29.220 Ager emphasized the importance of this collaboration, 00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:32.519 stating it will extend storytelling through generative 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.679 AI while respecting creators. This integration 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.700 could lead to more deals with open AI in the 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:44.860 future.

These 00:10:16.929 --> 00:10:19.129 features are appearing several months after their 00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:22.169 rollout on the desktop version began in September. 00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:26.509 Once active, Chrome users will notice a new icon 00:10:26.509 --> 00:10:29.269 in the address bar's left corner shaped like 00:10:29.269 --> 00:10:33.529 a notebook page with a Gemini star symbol.

Amazon Prime Video has pulled its AI -powered 00:10:47.710 --> 00:10:50.769 video recap of fallout after viewers noticed 00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:54.429 inaccuracies. The recapping correctly stated 00:10:54.429 --> 00:10:57.539 that the ghouls flashback. takes place in the 00:10:57.539 --> 00:11:03.080 1950s instead of the year 2077. This feature, 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.639 which began testing last month, is now missing 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.539 from several shows, including The Rig, Tom Clancy's 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:14.120 Jack Ryan, Upload, and Bosch.

According to Amazon, these 00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:24.220 recaps should appear on a series detail page. 00:11:24.409 --> 00:11:28.250 but they currently seem to be unavailable.

And he said, 00:11:47.230 --> 00:11:49.750 the spread of civilization may be likened to 00:11:49.750 --> 00:11:53.299 a fire. First, a feeble spark, next a flickering 00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:56.940 flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in 00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:01.480 speed and power.
