As they prepare for the final against 00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:15.400 either Germany or Spain, questions remain about 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.939 the future of this team and the potential of 00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:21.879 emerging talents like A .G. Meng and Aggie Beaver 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.079 Jones. In local sports. Last night in Philadelphia, 00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:31.920 the Red Sox fell to the Phillies 4 -1. Despite 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.939 a solo shot from Russ Snyder, the Sox struggled 00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:37.579 at the plate. with Fitz taking the loss after 00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:40.399 allowing three earned runs over three and one 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.240 -third innings.

Tonight, the Sox face the Phillies 00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:03.920 for the final game of this three -game series. 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.639 Lucas Giolito takes the mound with a 3 .59 earned 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.720 run average against Jesus Luzardo, sporting a 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:19.259 4 .29.

While magnesium may help with mild anxiety, 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.220 evidence for its effectiveness in improving sleep 00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:49.420 remains weak, with many studies being observational 00:05:49.420 --> 00:05:52.899 rather than conclusive. For those considering 00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:56.180 magnesium supplements, options like magnesium 00:05:56.180 --> 00:05:59.360 glycinate are recommended due to better absorption. 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.360 It's crucial to consult a physician before starting 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.439 supplements, especially for individuals on other 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.240 medications or with existing health conditions. 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.899 In business news, OpenAI recently experienced 00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:19.720 a talent shift with former employee Calvin French 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.899 -Owen offering a unique insight into the company's 00:06:22.899 --> 00:06:27.240 culture.

Despite past leadership controversies, 00:06:39.290 --> 00:06:42.529 French Owen noted that OpenAI remains true to 00:06:42.529 --> 00:06:46.129 its nonprofit roots. He also highlighted the 00:06:46.129 --> 00:06:48.670 fast -paced environment, where communication 00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:51.949 predominantly occurs on Slack, and long hours 00:06:51.949 --> 00:06:54.649 are common, especially during product launches. 00:06:55.649 --> 00:06:59.829 French Owen, who may return to OpenAI. Stated, 00:06:59.910 --> 00:07:03.250 it's hard to imagine building anything as impactful 00:07:03.250 --> 00:07:09.209 as AGI.

Archaeologist 00:08:45.169 --> 00:08:48.950 Pierce Paul Kreisman and his team utilized ground 00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:51.970 -penetrating radar to locate the tomb, which 00:08:51.970 --> 00:08:54.690 is a rare find in an area previously thought 00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:58.210 to be empty. The discovery holds promise for 00:08:58.210 --> 00:09:00.990 revealing more about the Nabataeans and their 00:09:00.990 --> 00:09:07.929 history. And in entertainment news, a groundbreaking 00:09:07.929 --> 00:09:11.389 technology called The Volume is transforming 00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:14.789 superhero filmmaking and sparking debate online. 00:09:15.509 --> 00:09:18.690 This innovative system, developed by Industrial 00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.039 Light and Magic, replaces traditional green screens 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.740 with massive cylindrical sets of LED panels. 00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:29.759 The volume creates immersive digital environments 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.899 in real time, enhancing scenes like Superman's 00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:36.960 flight in the most recent film.
