Kalaroga Shark Media. Oh no, a police officer has been

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.720
turned into a frog. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.079
good news stories in Utah, the PD learned the hard

4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.879
way that, yeah, you can't rely on AI for everything,

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:26.399
especially proofreading. The police department began using some AI tools

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.800
to automatically generate police reports from body camera footage. One

7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.399
of the reports stated that an officer had been transformed

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.000
into a frog. Obviously, the PD investigated this. So what happened? While?

9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.079
According to Sergeant Rick, the AI picked up audio from

10
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.640
a movie playing in the background. The movie was The

11
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.840
Princess and the Frog. The software decided the dialogue was

12
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.320
part of a real world event. This is a great

13
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.359
Sergeant Rick said, that's what we learned the importance of

14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.280
correcting AI generated reports. You think a routine herding trip

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.359
in Germany turned into a super market stampede. Fifty sheep

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.599
got away from the shepherd and went into the supermarket.

17
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.439
Video from inside the supermarket shows the sheep running through

18
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.480
the front doors, creating chaos in the aisles and leaving

19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.000
behind damaged goods and a mess. Deeter the shepherd said

20
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.599
the sheep separated from a larger flock he was guiding

21
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.840
through the area on the way to the river. The

22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.879
trouble started when the sheep were distracted by some acorns

23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.480
scattered in the supermarket parking lot. Really, the sheep used

24
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.000
that as a snack deed tour, and then they went

25
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.719
into the supermarket. I guess they were still hungry. Deeter,

26
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.799
the shepherd said, now they're back with the flock. That's good.

27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.560
Today's fun. Huh Hey. A high altitude Deeredevil from Belarus

28
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.400
broke the Guinness World Record. She went skysurfing over Mount Everest.

29
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.359
She jumped out of a helicopter at twenty nine and

30
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.680
forty five feet. Olga kept control of her board until

31
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.799
deploying her parachute and safely landing at twelve three hundred

32
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.799
and fifty six feet. Olga said, since I discovered skysurfing,

33
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.879
it was my dream to perform a very skydive and

34
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.680
to inspire our girls around the world not to be scared,

35
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.039
to be bold and to dream big Wow. Meanwhile, in Washington,

36
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.520
the police were dealing with a break in. It turns

37
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.000
out some goats had tried to enter a retirement facility.

38
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.400
Police showed up and detained the goat until a friend

39
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.879
of the goat's owner showed up to collect the goat.

40
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.599
Ruby the goat even took a photo with the police officers.

41
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.639
The police report charges were dropped due to extreme adorableness.

42
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.360

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.039
Sad Horse stuffed animal? Have you seen this? A production

55
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.599
error has turned a low cost stuffed toy into an

56
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.719
unexpected viral hit in China. The four dollars stuffed horse

57
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.599
was designed to be a cheerful horse for the Year

58
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.199
of the Horse, but however, during manufacturing, the muzzle was

59
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.159
sewn on upside down, which gives the horse a frown

60
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.520
and nostrils that resemble falling tears. People online have nicknamed

61
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.680
it the crying Horse. The factory owners said initial sales

62
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.560
in October were about like four hundred a day, but

63
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.199
after the images went viral, now they're selling tens of

64
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.280
thousands per day. The toy has been adopted as a

65
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.280
mascot by Chinese office workers, who described themselves as cattle

66
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.479
and horse, used a shorthand for overworked and undervalued. One

67
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.439
customer told the South China Morning Post, the little horse

68
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.599
looks so sad and pitiful, just like the way I

69
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.680
feel at work. Sorry, dude, those are your five good

70
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.280
news stories for today. Everybody else, well you two, sir,

71
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.280
I have an awesome day.
