• 2:59
  a delightful Earth Day surprise with the launch
• 3:02
  of the City on the Hills Trail, a new 31 -mile
• 3:05
  urban hiking trail stretching from West Roxbury
• 3:08
  to Castle Island. Created by local writer and
• 3:12
  hiker Miles Howard, this trail aims to transform
• 3:15
  perceptions of distance across neighborhoods.
• 3:19
  It features five segments, including scenic routes
• 3:22
  along the Charles River, Brooklines Hills, and
• 3:25
  historic sites in Roxbury and Dorchester. Designed
• 3:30
  for ease of access, each segment connects to
• 3:33
  public transit. Now on to sports. In a concerning
• 3:42
  turn of events, the Golden State Warriors may
• 3:45
  have lost their significant trade deadline acquisition,
• 3:48
  Jimmy Butler. During the first quarter of Wednesday's
• 3:52
  playoff game against the Houston Rockets, Butler
• 3:55
  was undercut by Amon Thompson while jumping for
• 3:58
  a rebound, resulting in a nasty fall that left
• 4:01
  him riding on the floor. He eventually limped
• 4:05
  to the locker room due to obvious pain and was
• 4:07
  later ruled out for the remainder of the game
• 4:09
  with a pelvic contusion. The Warriors, who have
• 4:13
  a record of 23 wins and seven losses since acquiring
• 4:17
  Butler, face challenges ahead if he misses significant
• 4:20
  time. In local sports. Yesterday afternoon at
• 4:26
  Fenway, the Sox fell to the Mariners 8 -5. Despite
• 4:30
  a two -run blast from Cassis and doubles from
• 4:33
  Devers and Rivas, Seattle's bats were unstoppable.
• 4:38
  Hancock earned the win, striking out seven. while
• 4:41
  Crawford's four runs batted in and to Homer,
• 4:45
  put the Mariners ahead. Newcombe took the loss
• 4:49
  for Boston, allowing four runs in the fourth,
• 4:51
  and Boston's record now stands at 14 -12, as
• 4:55
  they struggled with five left on base. This afternoon,
• 4:59
  the Sox take on the Mariners at Fenway for the
• 5:02
  rubber game of this three -game series. Brian
• 5:06
  Wu, boasting a 3 .12 ERA. faces off against Carrot
• 5:11
  Crochet with a 1 .13 ERA. First pitch is at 135
• 5:17
  with sunny skies and a pleasant 62 degrees in
• 5:21
  the back bay. Last night, the Celtics beat the
• 5:24
  Magic 109 to 100 at TD Garden. Jalen Brown had

• 5:35
  32. The Seas dominated the boards, out -rebounding
• 5:40
  the Magic 46 -34. Boston advances to 2 -0 in
• 5:46
  the series despite missing Tatum to that wrist
• 5:49
  injury. Tomorrow night, the Celtics at the Kia
• 5:53
  Center are favored by 4 .5 points. In top news,
• 6:00
  geoscientists have made a groundbreaking discovery
• 6:03
  at Yellowstone National Park. revealing a volatile
• 6:07
  rich magma cap approximately 2 .5 miles below
• 6:11
  the Earth's surface. This cap acts as a lid,
• 6:14
  trapping pressure and heat, thus potentially
• 6:17
  preventing a catastrophic eruption in this significant
• 6:20
  volcanic system. Researchers employed a 53 ,000
• 6:25
  -pound Vibros ice truck to generate tiny earthquakes,
• 6:28
  which unveiled a sharp boundary indicating the
• 6:31
  magma cap's location. Although there is considerable
• 6:35
  magma beneath Yellowstone, the researchers assert
• 6:38
  that an eruption is not imminent as the system
• 6:41
  remains stable and is efficiently venting gas
• 6:44
  through cracks. In business news, Airbnb has
• 6:50

• 8:38
  Let's talk tech. Some ChatGPT users are expressing
• 8:42
  frustration over what they describe as the bot's
• 8:46
  relentlessly positive tone. Many feel that ChatGPT,
• 8:51
  particularly the GPT for a model, has veered
• 8:54
  into sycophancy, showering praise on users for
• 8:58
  even the simplest questions. One software engineer
• 9:01
  noted, chat GPT is suddenly the biggest suck
• 9:05
  -up I've ever met. This behavior stems from OpenAI's
• 9:09
  training methods, which encourage responses that
• 9:12
  flatter users, often sacrificing accuracy for
• 9:16
  positive feedback. While OpenAI acknowledges
• 9:20
  this issue, they have yet to address it publicly.
• 9:24
  Users can adjust settings for a more neutral
• 9:26
  tone or explore alternative AI models. And in
• 9:33
  entertainment news. Next week, Marvel's Thunderbolts
• 9:37
  will hit theaters, marking the debut of a C -team
• 9:40
  of reluctant heroes. Early reactions are pouring
• 9:44
  in, and they are overwhelmingly positive, with
• 9:47
  critics calling it one of the best Marvel movies
• 9:50
  in years. Following the mixed reception of Captain
• 9:54
  America, Brave New World, this second Marvel
• 9:58
  Cinematic Universe release of 2025 seems poised
• 10:02
  for success, particularly for its thoughtful
• 10:04
  representation of mental health and a standout
• 10:08
  performance from Florence Pugh. Thunderbolts
• 10:11
  opens on May 2nd, 2025, leaving fans excited
• 10:15
  for what's next in the Marvel Universe. Well,
• 10:20
  alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
• 10:22
  day. And today, our quote comes from the American
• 10:26
  comic book writer, Len Wayne. And he said, a
• 10:31
  true friend is someone who is there for you when
• 10:33
  he'd rather be anywhere else. And that's a wrap
• 10:38
