In a concerning 00:04:51.310 --> 00:04:54.149 turn of events, the Golden State Warriors may 00:04:54.149 --> 00:04:56.790 have lost their significant trade deadline acquisition, 00:04:57.209 --> 00:05:00.889 Jimmy Butler. During the first quarter of Wednesday's 00:05:00.889 --> 00:05:03.850 playoff game against the Houston Rockets, Butler 00:05:03.850 --> 00:05:06.970 was undercut by Amon Thompson while jumping for 00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:10.350 a rebound, resulting in a nasty fall that left 00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:13.779 him riding on the floor. He eventually limped 00:05:13.779 --> 00:05:16.379 to the locker room due to obvious pain and was 00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:18.620 later ruled out for the remainder of the game 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:22.300 with a pelvic contusion.

Yesterday morning in Detroit, the Padres 00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:39.800 were blanked by the Tigers' 6 -to -zip at Comerica. 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.600 Despite a solid start from Hart, who allowed 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.819 three runs over four innings, the Padres struggled 00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:50.399 offensively. Mahoy led the charge for Detroit 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.899 with two homers, while Green and Dingler also 00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:58.300 contributed with runs. Olsen was dominant, earning 00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:02.180 the win with seven scoreless innings. The Friars, 00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:05.819 now 17 -8, hope to bounce back at home tomorrow 00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:08.279 night for the series start against the Rays, 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.250 with King getting the start. Last night in hockey, 00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:15.350 the Kings dominated the Oilers with a resounding 00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:19.170 6 -2 win in Los Angeles, taking a 2 -0 series 00:06:19.170 --> 00:06:23.290 lead. Adrian Kemp had two goals and two assists, 00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:26.949 while Hans Kopitar added a goal and three assists. 00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:30.670 Tomorrow night, the Kings try to close out the 00:06:30.670 --> 00:06:34.209 series in Edmonton. In basketball tomorrow night, 00:06:34.329 --> 00:06:36.730 the Lakers face the Timberwolves at the Target 00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:40.939 Center.

In top news, geoscientists 00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:51.259 have made a groundbreaking discovery at Yellowstone 00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:54.740 National Park, revealing a volatile -rich magma 00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:58.379 cap approximately 2 .5 miles below the Earth's 00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:02.300 surface.

Although there is considerable 00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:24.899 magma beneath Yellowstone, the researchers assert 00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:28.259 that an eruption is not imminent as the system 00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:31.180 remains stable and is efficiently venting gas 00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:36.709 through cracks.

Some ChatGPT users are 00:09:31.950 --> 00:09:34.649 expressing frustration over what they describe 00:09:34.649 --> 00:09:39.090 as the bot's relentlessly positive tone. Many 00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:43.190 feel that ChatGPT, particularly the GPT for a 00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:46.570 model, has veered into sycophancy, showering 00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:49.210 praise on users for even the simplest questions. 00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:54.129 One software engineer noted, ChatGPT is suddenly 00:09:54.129 --> 00:09:57.590 the biggest suck -up I've ever met. This behavior 00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:01.049 stems from OpenAI's training methods, which encourage 00:10:01.049 --> 00:10:04.470 responses that flatter users, often sacrificing 00:10:04.470 --> 00:10:08.710 accuracy for positive feedback. While OpenAI 00:10:08.710 --> 00:10:11.830 acknowledges this issue, they have yet to address 00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:15.470 it publicly. Users can adjust settings for a 00:10:15.470 --> 00:10:18.850 more neutral tone or explore alternative AI models. 00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:27.610 Next week, Marvel's Thunderbolts will hit theaters, 00:10:27.789 --> 00:10:30.889 marking the debut of a sea team of reluctant 00:10:30.889 --> 00:10:34.990 heroes.
