  back tonight at Tropicana Field against Tampa
• 4:28

  by a fractured finger that impacted his brief

  season games, averaging 10 .4 points and 7 .2
• 5:24
  rebounds, then played in six playoff games contributing

  6 .2 points, 4 .3 rebounds, and 2 .3 assists.

• 5:36
  spot this summer, though money is tight with

• 6:17
  OpenAI announced Monday afternoon that it has
• 6:20
  filed to offer its stock on public markets, just
• 6:24
  a week after its chief rival, Anthropic, did
• 6:27
  the same. The chat GPT maker stated, we recently
• 6:31
  submitted a confidential S1, referring to the
• 6:34
  formal name of the filing for an initial public
• 6:37
  offering. The company added, it's a complicated
• 6:41
  set of trade -offs, and this gives us the option
• 6:43
  to go public sooner if that ends up being best.
• 6:47
  In March, OpenAI's valuations soared to $852

• 7:20
  than done. However, Musk contends that it is
• 7:24
  not a super hard problem to solve. On Monday,
• 7:28
  SpaceX provided the closest look yet into its
• 7:31
  plans to operate data centers in space, a technology
• 7:35
  it has billed as central to its future. In a

• 7:44
