And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.580 tech. Google recently revealed how hackers are 00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:51.519 turning artificial intelligence into a super 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.899 weapon. While artificial intelligence programs 00:08:54.899 --> 00:08:57.950 can enhance productivity, Malicious actors are 00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:01.289 using them to steal sensitive information, including 00:09:01.289 --> 00:09:04.750 passwords and bank details. The Google Threat 00:09:04.750 --> 00:09:07.629 Intelligence Group published a blog post detailing 00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:11.090 these abuses, highlighting that artificial intelligence 00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:13.690 is being exploited for intellectual property 00:09:13.690 --> 00:09:17.629 theft and creating new types of malware. Hackers 00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:20.649 can quickly identify potential victims and generate 00:09:20.649 --> 00:09:23.490 convincing phishing messages, making their attacks 00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:27.450 more effective. This alarming trend raises significant 00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:34.309 concerns about the future of cybersecurity Entertainment 00:09:34.309 --> 00:09:38.750 news The scrubs revival is garnering mixed reactions 00:09:38.750 --> 00:09:41.649 as Millennials witness their cherished cultural 00:09:41.649 --> 00:09:46.059 staples morph into cringe The sitcom, which aired 00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:51.580 on NBC from 2001 to 2008 and continued on ABC 00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:56.960 until 2010, is quintessentially millennial. While 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.019 the revival attempts to rekindle nostalgia, it 00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:04.200 feels off against today's standards. Under showrunner 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.500 Asim Badra, new characters are introduced, yet 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:09.779 they fail to match the charm of the original 00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:13.480 cast. Despite advancements in the medical sitcom 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.960 genre, scrubs remain stagnant. The revival premieres 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:22.200 on February 25th at 8 p .m. Eastern Time on ABC, 00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:25.419 with episodes streaming on Hulu the following 00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:30.039 day. Well, all righty, folks, it's time for the 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.720 quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.559 from the American journalist and author Hunter 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:41.179 S. Thompson. And he said, freedom is something 00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:45.590 that dies unless it is used. And that's a wrap 00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:48.789 for this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:52.490 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:52.490 --> 00:10:55.730 videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:10:56.909 --> 00:10:59.549 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
