of the Del Mar Fairgrounds has initiated a public
outreach campaign to gather insights from local
governments and county residents about the future
of the venue. The Fairgrounds 2050 Master Planning
Initiative will seek opinions on the best and
most sensible uses for the Association's three
properties, the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the Surf
and Turf Recreation Center, and the Del Mar Horse
Park. This initiative includes a statistically
significant survey of county residents and presentations
to local governmental bodies. Chief Executive
Officer Carly Moore emphasized that the planning
process should be community -led, ensuring the
venue remains a vital gathering place for years
to come. Now on to sports. Rory McIlroy's recent
victory at the Masters has delighted batters,
while causing frustration for sportsbooks. Last
week, Johnny Avello from DraftKings noted that
McIlroy was drawing more bets than last year's
champion, Scotty Scheffler. A DraftKings bettor
had wagered $10 ,000 on McIlroy at odds of plus
$650, anticipating a payout of $65 ,000. Despite
a dramatic final round filled with ups and downs,
McIlroy clinched his first Masters title. Seamus
McGee, from Bet and Jam, confirmed that McIlroy
was the most bet golfer, leading to a significant
shift in odds. The next major event, the PGA
Championship, is scheduled for May 15th through
18th, with McIlroy and Scheffler again favored
to win. In local sports. Last night at Petco

news, new research from scientists at the University
of California, San Francisco reveals that CT
scans may be more harmful than previously believed.
These scans account for about 5 % of new cancer
cases annually in the United States. While the
risk from a single scan is low, frequent users,
such as those with chronic conditions, should
weigh the benefits and risks. The study predicts
over 100 ,000 future cancers due to rising CT
use, which has increased by 30 % since 2007.
It's crucial to understand the potential dangers
associated with these scans, especially for vulnerable
populations like children. In business news…
In the world of artificial intelligence, Dario
Amadi, co -founder and CEO of Anthropic, is on
a mission to create powerful AI that remains
benevolent. Recently back from Davos, he expressed
confidence that models like Claude will outperform
humans in cognitive tasks within two years. However,
the landscape is shifting as a Chinese company,
DeepSeek, has introduced a competitive large
language model at a fraction of the cost. Despite
this, Amity insists that efficiency does not
diminish the value of advanced intelligence.
Anthropic is focused on ensuring the safe development
of artificial general intelligence with a commitment
to ethical standards in AI. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is up 1 % to about $86 ,000. Ethereum
is up 1 % to about $1 ,600. And Goatsies Maximus

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. A recent poll by Poynter
and the University of Minnesota reveals that
many Americans are largely disgusted by artificial
intelligence in news reporting. Nearly half of
the respondents expressed that they do not want
AI to report the news, while 20 % believe that
news organizations should not utilize this technology
at all. The survey, which included 1 ,128 participants,
also found that 49 % had no interest in chatting
with virtual assistants for news. Furthermore,
30 % had no confidence in AI -generated articles.
This skepticism underscores a growing distrust
in media fueled by various factors, including
political rhetoric. So what do you think? Have
I earned your trust yet? Entertainment news.

time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the American singer and actress,
Demi Lovato. And she said, no matter what you're
going through, there's a light at the end of
the tunnel and may seem hard to get to it, but
you can do it and just keep working towards it
and you'll find the positive side of things.
