38
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,360
In local news.

39
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,520
This Monday, the total solar eclipse crossing North America from Mexico to Canada has northern

40
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:10,400
New England gearing up for an influx of visitors eager to experience this rare celestial event.

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Sections of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine lie in the eclipse's path of totality, promising

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,420
a significant economic boost from tourism.

43
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:25,920
Local communities and ski resorts are organizing events to welcome newcomers, highlighting

44
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,080
the region's beauty and hoping to alleviate traffic concerns with early arrivals.

45
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Triple A Northeast anticipates heavy traffic, advising caution and early travel plans.

46
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Lodging in the area is becoming scarce with prices rising.

47
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Each state in the path of totality has published guidelines and event listings for prospective

48
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,280
eclipse watchers.

49
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Now on to sports.

50
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:05,600
The Oakland Athletics are set to move from Oakland to Sacramento for the 2025 to 2027

51
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:13,620
baseball seasons, with a potential extension into 2028 before relocating to Las Vegas.

52
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:18,640
This decision comes as their lease in Oakland expires and negotiations with the city have

53
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,240
not yielded a new agreement.

54
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Oakland's Sutter Health Park, with a capacity possibly reaching 14,000, will host the A's

55
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,080
games.

56
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,360
This move is seen as a temporary measure ahead of the team's planned relocation to Las Vegas,

57
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,120
where plans for a new stadium are underway, but face funding and legal challenges.

58
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:49,960
Oakland, the A's home since 1968, has seen the team win four World Series and 17 division

59
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,000
titles.

60
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Last night in local sports, the Bruins at home beat the Hurricanes 4-1.

61
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,960
And tonight, the Red Sox are on the road in Anaheim to take on the Angels.

62
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,660
And the Celtics are at home to play the Kings.

63
00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:18,520
In top news, Amazon has scaled back its Just Walkout technology from its Amazon Fresh stores

64
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,080
due to the need for significant manual monitoring.

65
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,240
However, it plans to continue using this technology in specific Amazon Go and UK Amazon Fresh

66
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,360
stores alongside smart carts to streamline the shopping process.

67
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,440
Meanwhile, startups like Grab and Go and Everseen are advancing cashier-free checkout technologies,

68
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,600
focusing on privacy-conscious methods, and improving customer experience.

69
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,840
Grab and Go uses computer vision for checkout-free shopping, much like driverless car technology,

70
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,160
avoiding facial recognition to protect privacy.

71
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,160
Everseen, facing challenges with its technology at Walmart, raised significant funding and

72
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,920
emphasizes non-confrontational, corrective measures for checkout errors.

73
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,520
These developments suggest a continued push towards enhancing in-person shopping efficiency

74
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,120
while addressing privacy and security concerns.

75
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:27,280
In business news, Dell Technologies' stock has seen a significant surge, reaching new

76
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:32,440
heights due to the booming demand for AI server hardware.

77
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:38,100
The company's recent success is attributed to the high demand for its AI servers, particularly

78
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:46,000
those powered by NVIDIA H100 chips, with a backlog of orders reaching $3 billion.

79
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Dell's interest in AI servers extends beyond current backlogs, with anticipation for future

80
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:59,600
demand for servers utilizing AMD's MI300 GPU and upcoming NVIDIA chips.

81
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,040
This growth is not only limited to AI servers, but also expected to influence AI PCs and

82
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,760
enterprise storage sectors, promising a significant shift in Dell's revenue composition towards

83
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,480
AI-capable products and services.

84
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,200

Let's talk tech.

98
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:27,000
Shield AI, a defense technology startup valued at $3 billion, is acquiring Melbourne-based

99
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Sentient Vision Systems to enhance its AI-enabled drone technology.

100
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Sentient, known for developing AI solutions that identify objects in real time, will continue

101
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,840
to operate as a Shield AI subsidiary, bringing the total employee count to approximately

102
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,260
750.

103
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:54,520
The acquisition aims to integrate Sentient's Vidar system with Shield AI's drones, significantly

104
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,320
expanding search capabilities.

105
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,520
Founded by a former Navy SEAL, Shield AI focuses on autonomous aircraft operation, aiming to

106
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,320
create the world's best AI pilot.

107
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:16,240
With $1 billion raised and ambitions to generate substantial annual sales by 2026, Shield AI

108
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,440
is not ruling out an IPO, as it focuses on scaling its innovative technologies.

109
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:32,400
And in entertainment news, Action Comics' Number 1, marking Superman's debut, has set

110
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:39,480
a new record by selling for $6 million at auction, surpassing Superman Number 1's

111
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,600
$5 million sale in 2022.

112
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:49,420
An amazing fantasy number 15's nearly $4 million sale in 2021.

113
00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:53,360
This makes it the world's most valuable comic book.

114
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:00,140
With only about 100 copies believed to exist from the original 200,000 printed, its rarity

115
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:04,780
and excellent condition contribute to its high value.

116
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:10,360
This sale highlights the enduring legacy and fascination with Superman, coinciding with

117
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:17,480
the production of a new Superman film directed by James Gunn, set for release in July 2025.

118

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

119
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,320
And today, our quote comes from Superman himself.

120
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,120
And Mr. Kent once said,

121
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,860
There's always a way.

122
00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:38,200
When the odds are impossible, do the impossible.

123
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760
