level. The leaderboard is stacked with some of
the best golfers in the world. Five of the top

inside the top ten again. Four of the top five
in the world are part of the group of only 18
players under par. In local sports, Josh Hart

while the chief financial officer and general

many to prioritize family time over work. In
business news, OpenAI and Anthropic are racing
toward potentially record -breaking initial public
offerings by the end of the year. An inside look
at the financials of both companies prior to
funding rounds completed earlier this year reveals
their Achilles heel, the soaring costs needed
to train new artificial intelligence models.
OpenAI expects to spend $121 billion on computing
power for artificial intelligence research in
2028. Such losses would dwarf those of virtually
any other public company in history. Both companies
are releasing new versions of their artificial
intelligence models at an unprecedented pace
amid rising computing costs. In crypto movement,

now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Entire
human populations vanished 3 ,000 years ago.
Scientists figured out where they went. The population
drop opened the door for outsiders to repopulate
with new demographics and cultures. The famed
Neolithic decline that struck around 3 ,100 years
before the Common Era in northern Europe has
a new scientific explanation. The influx of newcomers
came from the south as Iberians began repopulating
the Paris Basin around 2 ,900 years before the
Common Era. Researchers believe they have found
out why the Paris Basin suffered a dramatic population
shift. And in entertainment news, Jeopardy! champion
Janie Ding from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, has

20th straight game, tying the record set by host
Ken Jennings. Ding entered Thursday's episode
with winnings totaling a staggering $539 ,573.
By the end of the Jeopardy round, he led with
$8 ,800 against his opponents, Alexander Leith
and Prithish David, who had $800 and $3 ,400,
respectively. Ultimately, Ding finished with
$32 ,000, marking him as the first contestant
to win 20 or more games since 2022. Well, all
righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American
