From the city that changes the world Peers Roads with
three things you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Know BTSA Roads, did you go for us?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So, nearly one point three million BGE customers were preparing
for a potential blackout after the company send out a
message asking people to conserve power when a power plant
lost connection to the power grid. So BGE ultimately resolved
the problem with outing mass power outage. However, there was
an outage in Howard County that affected about four thousand
customers for what I'm reading is less than thirty minutes. Now,
(00:31):
no further outages are expected, However, residents are urged to
continue conserving power, So just a heads up there. So
President Trump announced yesterday morning that he is deploying the
National Guard to Washington, d C. And taking federal control
of the city's police force to fight what he calls
a crime crisis. About eight hundred National Guard members will
be sent to the streets of Washington in the coming week. Now,
(00:53):
official crime data shows that violent crimes in DC has
been dropping for the past year and a half. However,
Trump called these statistics quote phony numbers and said his
administration would investigate them. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser pushed back
on Trump's claim, saying the city is not experiencing crimes
by now. The emergency authority that the President exercise under
the DC Home Rule Act will expire in thirty days
(01:15):
unless Congress approves an extension. He also talked about how
this could be a model used for taking over other
US cities with high crime rates, including Baltimore and Baltimore
Mayor Brandon Scott is rejecting his claims that the city
is so far gone on crime and pointed to Baltimore's
lowest violent crime rates in more than fifty years.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So I'll keep you update on that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And it seems like it's a good time to be
playing the lottery, especially in Maryland. Several players have taken
on prizes ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand dollars,
and that is from various scratch off and draw game
so Maryland officials. Maryland Lottery officials reported over twenty nine
point seven million dollars in prizes awarded across all games
(01:56):
from August fourth through the.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Tenth in my school, which is pretty nice.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And that includes thirty four tickets worth the ten thousand
dollars or more. Now, currently the Powerball jackpot is up
to five hundred and twenty six million dollars, that cash
option is two hundred and forty one million dollars, and
that drawing is that for tomorrow if you want to play,
I'm ros. Those are the three things you need to
know for the day. Thank you, roach, You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So Google has a problem right now with their AI
is developing depression. Oh no, the actual AI to us, Well,
so Google's Gemini AI. Here's an ut quote depression. As
users are port alarming self loathing messages in response to
prompts Okay, yeah, sure, so first started back in June,
(02:41):
users are posting screenshots that show the bot giving up
on tasks and scolding itself for its failure.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
In one instance, the bot responded, quote, I'm clearly not
capable of solving this problem. This code is cursed, this
test is cursed, and I am a fool. I've made
so many mistakes I can no longer be trusted.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Okay, that's a little dramatic. But if you're gonna name
it Gemini, what do you expect.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I feel like that's there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, it's learning about itself.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, have the response. The bought said quote. It got
trapped in a loop before pronouncing I'm gonna have a
compleatent total mental breakdown.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm going to babe. Yes, I'm going to be institutionalized.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah, I get it. We've all been there.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I was gonna get to that working on a bug on.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Twitter, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, it'd be funny if like the person that designed
it has a bit of like a bit of a
drama person.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
As well, like I designed it, and it's just like
it has my vibe.
Speaker 2 (04:28):

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I wouldn't know either. That would freak me out.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I would listen if like, uh, there certain pharmacy with
three letters that's friend of service. If they ever use
AI with the voice when you have to call it
to call the operator, if imagine.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Operator, I'm so sorry, am I not good enough for you? Now?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's like impossible to get the operator with them.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yes, I finally just stop going to them because I
was like, this isn't actually insane.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Well, even like there's some hotels now where that you
could always chat with the front desk through the app
and now it's AI first and like, but the whole
point was to talk to the real person.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, like that's like the whole I can't I can't
stand it. I don't want to talk to a robot. Sorry, no,
that's fact.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I saw a video of this hotel in Florida where
they had the check in person wasn't in the hotel.
The friend desk person was was like, I think they're
in India, and the guys like where I'm in India
And the guy's on a screen talking to the screen
and that's how he checked in at the hotel.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
That's like when I went skydiving, it was like a
video thing when they like check in all your stuff.
And I finally was like, hey, where are you And

Yeah, you know what I mean? This is like a
little kid looked like and he's like, oh, I'm not here.
Speaker 5 (06:07):

like a human there, because what's that guy gonna do?
Call somebody else?

Hotel exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
So what's what happens with this?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
