00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,040 in equity and ultimate control of the company. 83 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,020 This change comes just as Chief Technology Officer Mira Moradi announced her departure 84 00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:44,920 leaving employees stunned and questioning the company's direction. 85 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,560 The promise of shared profits seems overshadowed by this new corporate reality raising concerns 86 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,920 about OpenAI's original mission. 87 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:01,320 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $65,300. 88 00:07:01,320 -->

Google has reportedly paid nearly $2 billion to bring back artificial 103 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,720 intelligence expert known Shazir. 104 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,240 This decision highlights the intense competition among tech firms for top talent. 105 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:23,960 Shazir, a key figure behind a groundbreaking research paper that sparked the AI revolution, 106 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:30,400 left Google in 2021 after the company declined to release his chatbot. 107 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Focusing challenges with his startup, character, AI, Google re-entered the scene licensing 108 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,360 characters technology while securing Shazir's return. 109 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,040 This comeback raises questions about whether tech companies are excessively spending in 110 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,040 this evolving landscape. 111 00:08:49,040 --> 00:09:00,200 And in entertainment news, in a recent episode of Serious XM, literally with Rob Lowe, veteran 112 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:06,420 actor Jeff Bridges shared his unique experience working alongside Jared Leto in the upcoming 113 00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:09,320 film Tron Aries. 114 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,440 Bridges admitted he was uncertain about Leto's method acting style having heard much about 115 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,120 it from previous projects like Suicide Squad and Morbius. 116 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,520 He described the set's interesting vibe, noting that Leto, who is also a producer, 117 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,840 prefers to be called Aries. 118 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,560 Bridges reflected on the anticipation he felt before meeting Leto, emphasizing the distinct 119 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,480 atmosphere each film set can create. 120 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,320 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 121 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:49,960 And today, our quote comes from the British writer and theologian C.S. Lewis. 122 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,960 And he said, 123 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,000 We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about 124 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,160 turn and walking back to the right road. 125 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:07,680 In that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. 126 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,280 And that's a wrap for this morning. 127 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,080 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 128 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,560 with local news and the weather reports. 129 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,760 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 130 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,480 We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
