of recovery at times.
The zoo reported that three other apes, including another lowland gorilla and two brother bonobo
monkeys, had previously died from the outbreak.

Let's talk tech.
On Thursday evening, Oprah Winfrey hosted a special titled, Hey I and the Future of Us,
featuring guests such as Open AI CDO Sam Altman and current FBI Director Christopher
Wray.
The discussion was marked by a tone of skepticism.
Oprah expressed concern that AI is still beyond our control, emphasizing the need for caution
as humanity adapts to this technology.
She then discussed the importance of safety testing AI systems, but faced criticism for
overstating their capabilities.
Meanwhile, Wray highlighted rising issues like AI-driven sex torsion and disinformation,
urging Americans to remain vigilant.
Bill Gates provided a contrasting perspective, optimistic about AI's potential in education
and medicine.
The Entertainment News.
Francis Ford Coppola is taking legal action against Variety magazine, seeking $15 million
for libel.
This lawsuit stems from claims in a July 26 article that suggested Coppola acted with
impunity on a set of his film, Megalopolis.
The article included videos that allegedly showed the director attempting to kiss young
female extras.
Coppola's suit asserts that the sources for these claims were unreliable, as they signed
a non-disclosure agreement.
He emphasizes his respect for all involved in the film and condemns the use of surreptitious
video for financial gain.
Meanwhile, an extra from the film has also filed a lawsuit against Coppola for civil
battery and assault.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor
Company, Henry Ford.
And he said,
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off
against the wind, not with it.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
