• 8:10
  And now, back to the show.
• 8:14
  Let's talk tech.
• 8:16
  Late Thursday evening, Oprah Winfrey hosted a special titled, Hey I and the Future of
• 8:21
  Us, featuring guests such as Open AI CDO Sam Altman and current FBI director Christopher
• 8:29
  Wray.
• 8:30
  The discussion was marked by a tone of skepticism.
• 8:34
  Oprah expressed concern that AI is still beyond our control, emphasizing the need for caution
• 8:40
  as humanity adapts to this technology.
• 8:44
  Altman discussed the importance of safety testing AI systems, but faced criticism for
• 8:49
  overstating their capabilities.
• 8:52
  Meanwhile, Wray highlighted rising issues like AI-driven sex torsion and disinformation,
• 8:59
  urging Americans to remain vigilant.
• 9:02
  Bill Gates provided a contrasting perspective, optimistic about AI's potential in education
• 9:08
  and medicine.
• 9:10
  And in entertainment news, Francis Ford Coppola is taking legal action against Variety magazine,
• 9:20
  seeking $15 million for libel.
• 9:24
  This lawsuit stems from claims in a July 26 article that suggested Coppola acted with
• 9:30
  impunity on a set of his film Megalopolis.
• 9:34
  The article included videos that allegedly showed the director attempting to kiss young
• 9:39
  female extras.
• 9:41
  Coppola's suit asserts that the sources for these claims were unreliable, as they signed
• 9:46
  a non-disclosure agreement.
• 9:48
  He emphasizes his respect for all involved in the film and condemns the use of surreptitious
• 9:54
  video for financial gain.
• 9:56
  Meanwhile, an extra from the film has also filed a lawsuit against Coppola for sibil
• 10:02
  battery in assault.
• 10:04
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 10:10
  And today, our quote comes from the American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor
• 10:15
  Company, Henry Ford.
• 10:18
  And he said,
• 10:19
  When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off
• 10:23
  against the wind, not with it.
• 10:28
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
