His impressive income is 00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.300 largely due to his partnership with Nike. which 00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.600 started in 1984 and has generated significant 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.899 revenue, including $7 billion last year.

Despite Paolo Banchero's 31 points, the Magic 00:06:29.850 --> 00:06:32.389 couldn't withstand the relentless Celtics' offense, 00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:35.930 setting the stage for Game 5 back at the Garden 00:06:35.930 --> 00:06:42.149 on Tuesday night. In top news, Google is training 00:06:42.149 --> 00:06:45.540 a new artificial intelligence model. called Dolphin 00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:48.939 Gemma to decode dolphin vocalizations with hopes 00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:53.420 of enabling humans to communicate back. Set for 00:06:53.420 --> 00:06:56.040 an open -source release this summer, Dolphin 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.839 Gemma is based on decades of research from the 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.740 Wild Dolphin Project, which has gathered extensive 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:05.199 audio and video data from Atlantic spotted dolphins 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.899 in the Bahamas. This model identifies patterns 00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:11.720 in dolphin sounds, potentially revealing insights 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.579 beyond human perception. Additionally, researchers 00:07:15.579 --> 00:07:18.779 are developing a device named Chat, which will 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:21.220 help dolphins learn to mimic sounds associated 00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:25.920 with specific objects. However, the debate continues 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.639 over whether animal communication constitutes 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.660 true language. In business news, OpenAI's chief 00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:38.879 executive officer, Sam Allman, revealed that 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.680 the company's electricity costs have surged tens 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.029 of millions of dollars. due to users being polite 00:07:45.029 --> 00:07:50.009 to ChatGPT.

However, politeness 00:08:01.269 --> 00:08:04.230 comes with an energy cost. A report found that 00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:08.970 ChatGPT consumes 1 billion and 59 million kilowatt 00:08:08.970 --> 00:08:11.980 hours annually. leading to an estimated annual 00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:17.800 expenditure of about $140 million. Despite these 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.620 costs, OpenAI remains financially robust, having 00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:26.399 recently raised $40 billion. In crypto movement, 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.819 Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % over the weekend to just 00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:36.960 over $94 ,000.

They extracted a core 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.220 measuring 1 ,268 meters, revealing serpentinized 00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:53.700 peridotite, formed by the interaction of saltwater 00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:57.580 and mantle rock. Although they did not reach 00:09:57.580 --> 00:10:01.820 the Mohorovicic discontinuity, or MOVO, The study 00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:04.259 offers valuable insights into the composition 00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:07.720 of the upper mantle, including Harsburgite and 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.519 Gabros.
