The main reason for this decline 00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:04.589 is that projected post -degree earnings increased 00:07:04.589 --> 00:07:10.490 only 1 .7%.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:36.259 Let's talk tech. Oaken AI's Sora has skyrocketed 00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:40.360 to third place on the App Store. Currently, Oaken 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.620 AI has two apps in the top three, but it still 00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:46.600 trails behind Gemini due to the sustained success 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.700 of Google's nano -banana image model. On September 00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:56.039 30th, Oaken AI released Sora. a social app powered 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.899 by a revamped version of its original generative 00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:02.779 video model. Despite being invite -only, the 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:06.480 app gained considerable momentum, with 56 ,000 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.120 installs in the United States on its first day 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.980 and 108 ,000 installs on its second day. Interestingly, 00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:17.039 two out of the current top three apps heavily 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.639 rely on multimodality, suggesting users may prefer 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:27.409 image and video -based AI features. And in entertainment 00:09:27.409 --> 00:09:31.690 news, Shane Black believes Robert Downey Jr.'s 00:09:31.690 --> 00:09:35.909 portrayal of Dr. Doom will single -handedly reinvigorate 00:09:35.909 --> 00:09:39.549 comic book movies. Downey is returning to the 00:09:39.549 --> 00:09:43.149 Marvel spotlight, but this time he is not suiting 00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:46.669 up as Iron Man. He will take on the iconic villain 00:09:46.669 --> 00:09:49.590 role in Marvel Studios' upcoming film, Avengers 00:09:49.590 --> 00:09:53.279 Doomsday. Black expressed his excitement about 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.399 Downey's casting during a promotion for his movie, 00:09:56.620 --> 00:10:01.139 Play Dirty. Despite skepticism from fans and 00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:03.759 critics, many think Downey's return could be 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.480 just what Marvel needs to regain momentum. If 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.000 the film delivers, it might reshape how legacy 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.879 actors are utilized in superhero storytelling. 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.679 Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.519 of the day. And today... Our quote comes from 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.440 the American author and poet Maya Angelou. And 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.500 she said, We may encounter many defeats, but 00:10:29.500 --> 00:10:33.779 we must not be defeated. And that's a wrap for 00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:36.580 this morning.
