Coach Dan Campbell praised 00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:25.120 the team's effort, stating, Dallas fought hard, 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:27.620 but despite their three -game winning streak, 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.579 they struggled against the Lions' explosive offense. 00:04:31.310 --> 00:04:34.750 gets contributed significantly with seven catches 00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:39.350 for 77 yards and 43 yards rushing on 12 carries. 00:04:40.970 --> 00:04:44.730 In local sports, Derek White and Jordan Walsh 00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:48.170 propelled the Celtics in a dominant 146th to 00:04:48.170 --> 00:04:52.410 101 victory over the Wizards.

In top news, scientists have 00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:24.040 discovered how to potentially eliminate the world's 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.319 deadliest infectious disease, tuberculosis. By 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.819 turning off the genetic switch to its respiratory 00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:34.019 system, researchers found that mycobacterium 00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:37.180 tuberculosis cannot survive without the prurabe 00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:41.459 system. When prurabe was inhibited, the bacteria 00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:44.899 shut down and a drug called diaryltheazole -48 00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:48.819 became more effective against it. Tuberculosis 00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:51.480 has seen a resurgence in the United States and 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.379 remains an epidemic in many regions. The research 00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:58.379 team aims to use these findings to develop targeted 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:01.199 therapies that could make tuberculosis vanish, 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.699 much like smallpox.

The Chicago Tribune has filed 00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:02.810 a lawsuit against the AI search engine Perplexity 00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:06.529 alleging copyright infringement. The lawsuit 00:08:06.529 --> 00:08:09.790 filed in a federal court in New York claims Perplexity 00:08:09.790 --> 00:08:12.370 is using Tribune content without permission. 00:08:13.529 --> 00:08:15.949 The Tribune's lawyers contacted Perplexity in 00:08:15.949 --> 00:08:18.990 mid -October asking about the use of its content. 00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:22.899 Perplexity's response indicated it does not train 00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:25.639 models with tribune work, but it may receive 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.959 nonverbatim factual summaries. However, the tribune 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.740 argues that perplexity is delivering content 00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:36.159 verbatim. Additionally, the lawsuit calls out 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.320 perplexity's retrieval augmented generation as 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.379 a key issue. Perplexity has not responded to 00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:49.909 the lawsuit or requests for comment. Entertainment 00:08:49.909 --> 00:08:53.610 news. Sony Pictures is working on a fifth film 00:08:53.610 --> 00:08:56.710 in the Men in Black franchise, tapping Chris 00:08:56.710 --> 00:09:00.090 Bremner, the writer of Bad Boys for Life, to 00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:03.769 draft the script. It remains unclear if Will 00:09:03.769 --> 00:09:06.870 Smith or Tommy Lee Jones will reprise their iconic 00:09:06.870 --> 00:09:11.570 roles as Agent J and Agent K. Bremner's involvement 00:09:11.570 --> 00:09:14.509 may appeal to Smith, who starred in both Bad 00:09:14.509 --> 00:09:18.710 Boys films. Sony previously attempted a reboot 00:09:18.710 --> 00:09:22.529 with Men in Black, International, which grossed 00:09:22.529 --> 00:09:28.029 $253 .9 million, against a budget exceeding $100 00:09:28.029 --> 00:09:32.289 million.
