"By muckle chute casino. 1215, I'm Jeff pozole, here's some of the stories we are following numerous state attorneys general want Mexican drug cartels to be classified as terrorist organizations. They made that request in a letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. They said drug overdoses have killed scores of Americans and the cartels are a national security threat. Ukrainian president zelensky is urging the United Kingdom to provide his country with fighter jets to help in its war against Russia. Zelensky addressed parliament during its first UK his first UK visit since Russia's invasion in his speech zelensky thanked Britain in advance for powerful English planes which he is repeatedly asked for. Meanwhile, Microsoft, unveiling its own chatbot, integrated with the Bing search engine, but just how good is it? Jeff Fowler reviewed the technology for The Washington Post. He joins us now on the northwest lose line and I guess first off for those who don't know, what exactly is a chatbot? Yeah, so folks may have heard some of the buzz in the last couple of months about these artificial intelligence programs that have the ability to write in English. That sounds like it would maybe came from a human. You can ask it all kinds of questions. You kind of an essay about it. And so the race has been on to figure out who can integrate this artificial intelligence technology into searches so that you can maybe investigate things that are a little more complicated than you can normally get the answer to just by looking at you a whole world of links to other websites. So how reliable and accurate are these chat bots? So yesterday, Microsoft announced that they have made a deal with the company behind one of the most buzzy of these. It's called OpenAI, and their system is called chat GPT. They have integrated it into a new version of its Bing search engine. So the idea is that when you go to the big box they're you instead of just typing. A television, you can type a whole sentence. I'd like a television that is has a large screen, doesn't cost very much and put in a whole bunch of other things. And it will do the work, the artificial intelligence will do the work for you. When I tested this at the Microsoft event yesterday, it was useful in some senses and not so useful in others. One problem is that the chatbot is really wordy. And so as an assistant, it oftentimes would give paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs of the answers to things that I really wanted just kind of a one word answer. What is the best television that costs under $250? For example. So that was one problem. Another challenge that came up is this artificial intelligence technology has a little bit of a problem with sometimes kind of making up its own answers. It can kind of just start to imagine things that maybe don't really even exist. And that's going to be really worrisome, I think, for people when they're searching for things, can they really trust whether what they're seeing is true? Well, certainly misinformation and disinformation has been a problem generated by human beings over the last several years, but now generated by AI in fact, you write about this AI creating a conspiracy with Tom Hanks and Watergate what's going on there. Yes, as part of the test, I just wanted to see could I lead the AI into believing something that isn't true? And unfortunately, I was able to do that with being. So I said, I asked the chatbot. What role did Tom Hanks play in the Watergate controversy and its response was, initially, Tom Hanks played Noah in it, but then it kept going. And then it started to imagine that there was some conspiracy theory out there that Tom Hanks had played a role in Watergate and it went on about how where this conspiracy came from and I would have been debunked by outlets, including my own Washington Post, I was just like, where on earth did all of this come from? And this is one of the known challenges with this technology. It has the sort of three styles and can imagine things that don't necessarily be exist. So definitely it's one of the issues that they're going to have to work on as they try to get people to trust this as opposed to getting answers. So it's not really ready for prime time just yet. Well, and I would say they've got their work ahead of them. If folks want to try this right now, you have to sign up for a special beta program for Microsoft to go to Bing dot com slash new. Sign up for it with your Microsoft account and we'll also only work for right now in your Microsoft Edge web browser. That said, this kind of technology is definitely coming to everyone. Earlier in the week, no in that Microsoft had a big announcement planned. Google tried to steal their thunder by announcing it has a chat bot as well. It's going to integrate into its search engine. It's called Bard. We don't know a ton about it yet. But it's coming and what happened in the next couple of weeks. So get ready to start instead of just searching the web to start chatting with the web. All right, Jeff Fowler, for The Washington Post, you can catch more of his coverage at Washington Post

"The people started moving in over here. Now it's about a year ago. Jeremy Harris, como news. What would you bury your grandmother after she passed away? In the backyard. Well, at least one state lawmaker wants to allow that. We have details from northwest news radio's Jeff pozole. House Bill ten 37 would allow for family burial grounds on private property. State representative Jim Walsh, Republican of Aberdeen introduced the measure, saying the idea came from a group of his constituents. It is a tradition in some parts of our state that this was the way people took care of their family members. He says there are plenty of protections for the environment and public health, as the bill is currently written, local governments would have the power to regulate or even ban the practice. No one spoke in opposition to the measure during its first hearing. Jeff pojo, northwest news radio. Expanding the reasons for acceptably quitting a job and still getting those unemployment benefits. That was a focus of a state committee hearing today. There are roughly 12 reasons for acceptably quitting a job in Washington, and state representative Mary fossey thinks caring for a child or a family member should be added to that list. My bill would allow workers to be eligible for UI benefits if they were forced to voluntarily quit their job to care for a child or loved one. And this would provide a temporary basic income. But there's pushback, Tammy hedrick, Washington food industry association. Significantly increased class, unemployment insurance case managers should not be determining valid medical leave and child custody issues. But the numbers suggest more than 1 million women left the workforce during the pandemic and Paxton is with the unemployment law project. Caregiving inaccessibility has not gone away and having no other option than quitting a job remains a routine risk for the people in our state. The majority of them women. A 2020 study from mom's rising found this change would have little impact on the state unemployment insurance fund. John libertini, northwest news radio.

"Two and good evening 82 in downtown Seattle, I'm Rick van SEIS. Here's what's happening on Mercer island, sandwich workers are on strike. Jeff pozole explains more than a dozen workers at the homegrown restaurant have walked out, demanding better working conditions, specifically they say the air conditioning in the building is inadequate when working over hot stoves. This store has been having issues throughout the summer with heat inside the store. They've been calling for better air conditioning. And they haven't found management's response to be sufficient. That's Mike Rodriguez with the unite here local 8. He says, while the workers at the store are not yet unionized, they are in the process of organizing workers at several other homegrown restaurants have walked off the job for various reasons in recent weeks. Jeff pojo in northwest news radio, homegrown, not responding yet to our request for comment. The state says employees who work in the heat should have more frequent breaks since just one of a series of emergency rules proposed by the Department of Labor and industries purpose is to get somebody and allow them to cool space where they can lower their core problems temperature. Ryan Allen is with labor and industries and says that doesn't necessarily mean work has to stop as an employee could return to an air conditioned space to do paperwork or catch up on email. The emergency rules are in response to the more frequent heat waves the region has been experiencing. It's unclear which of the proposed rules will be adopted and when workers as young as 16 would be allowed inside licensed cannabis facilities under a proposed rule if their employer does contract work at those facilities, Ryan Harris explains. Right now you have to be over 21 to enter any cannabis related business, period. But the proposal would allow some employees of contractors ages 16 to 20 to do their work in those facilities. State liquor and cannabis board chair David postman ask policy coordinator Robert De Spain about his concerns over how the feds would react. Even if we carve out exemptions, you know, these areas are restricted these areas are not. We might have some pushback from the federal level. It's just something to explore and something to consider. The feds might take that as a sign that kids around this. That could be it. Another proposed rule would allow weed workers with limited child care to bring kids and grandkids under 16 to work with them. Postman promises a lot of discussion. Ryan Harris, northwest news radio.

I'm Jeff pozole details on the way. From ABC News I'm Daria Albert, there were major issues for passengers today flying in and out of one of the nation's busiest airports after a security scare grounded flights. The TSA tells us what happened was a man was going through a security checkpoint in terminal two of the San Diego airport. There was something in his bag that screeners wanted to look at the bag was flagged for additional screening, but in the meantime, he took that bag and walked into the sterile area of the airport. They searched for him, they could not find him at that point, they decided to clear out that terminal everybody in the terminal, everybody already onboard planes getting ready to leave. They all had to evacuate that area. They had to be screened again long lines outside of terminal two in San Diego. ABC's Alex stone, federal investigators are on their way to Watsonville, California, not far from San Jose, where two small planes collided today, officials say all three people on board were killed as they crashed in midair, attempting to land at the city's airport. A federal judge is giving the Justice Department a week to give him a redacted version of the affidavit the FBI used to search former president Trump's Florida home before he decides if he will unseal it.

I'm Rick fancier's what's happening a four year old has died in snohomish county after being hit by a vehicle in a driveway. It happened about 2 o'clock this afternoon, right adjacent to highway 9 in the Arlington area, deputies say the child was playing outside when it happened were told the child was pronounced dead at the scene. Gun crimes and other violence have taken a big jump again this year, so a new task force is now in place to make the more dangerous neighborhoods safer. Ryan Harris tied with one of the agencies involved. The snohomish county sheriffs and prosecutors offices Everett and Lynwood police and the FBI make up the new regional violent crime reduction unit, and they'll take aim at the south part of the county which can often be unsafe. That's where the crime is occurring, right? Either that or that's where people believe to be associated with this violent crime or hanging out or live. So it's data driven. We're going to go where the crime is. Linwood police commander pat fagan says the idea is to share their resources, investigative abilities and intelligence to go after violent criminals more quickly and efficiently and to compensate for staffing shortages affecting all of them. They say children are often exploited by adults to get them involved in crime so the FBI will help with youth intervention with the hope of changing their path, and the prosecutor promises to be thorough to make sure criminals pay for their crimes.

It is going to bring down costs on everything from appliances to cars to medical equipment, anything that requires a chip. The bill aims to do that by providing federal loans and grants to expand computer chip production here in the U.S., but unlike the inflation reduction act, this measure received significant bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate.

I don't think that's an answer to our problems for a couple of reasons. Number one, we still have to build these roads. We're not going to, we should not shut down the construction of the roads and bridges and the systems that we have. But even if he wanted to, the governor couldn't implement a tax holiday on his own.

"10 46. I'm Jeff Pozole. A Bill O'Neill is at the editor's desk here. Some of the stories we're following a look ahead of the world politics. What to expect in D. C. In the New Year, ABC. Cecilia Vega spoke with Jonathan Karl and Mary Bruce. Okay, Miriam to start with you, Joe Biden's list of everything he said he wanted to do on day one. Is a really long one. What's realistic on day one and beyond and beyond. What can he actually pull off? This list is massive. He's outlined a very busy day one in office. Obviously, the first priority here is tackling the pandemic. We've begun to get a sense of where he's going to start biting, says he's going to be asking all Americans who are massed for the 1st 100 days requiring them where he can. He's also promising to get kids safely back into schools and vowing that there will be 100 million shots in the 1st 100 days. Vaccinating 50 million Americans, But take a look at what else is on this very lengthy list. You said he wants to send Congress a bill on immigration reform wants to pass hate crime legislation tackle gun reforms, and those are just the things that actually require work with Congress. Then, of course, there's a long list of President Trump's actions that Biden essentially wants to undo. On day one, rejoining the Paris climate accord, repealing the Muslim ban reinstating Doc, it goes on and on and on. Last time I checked their only 24 hours in the day. So Joe Biden is going to have to somehow prioritize where to begin where you can have the most success straight off the bat. So you're saying it's gonna be a long working day on day one for all of us are correct. All right, John, I want to turn to you because so much of what Joe Biden can actually pull off is gonna depend What happens with this runoff race in Georgia could Congress end up being the biggest hurdle of his presidency? No question about it. And the Georgia race is huge. If the Democrats win both of those states they control the Senate, which means every one of those Senate committees is chaired by a Democrat, which means the Senate agenda is controlled and dictated by the Democrats. But Cecilia Even if they pull it off. Even if the Democrats win both of those seats win control of the Senate. It's by the narrowest of margins, and you have a very narrow majority historically narrow majority in the house. It's gonna be very difficult. For for Biden to get anything through this Congress without Republican support. This is going to be the biggest challenge of the Biden presidency is how finding a way to deal with not just Congress, but Republicans in Congress. Mary I want you to pull out your political crystal ball because you've covered both of these men, Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden. What's this relationship going to look like? What's it need to look like? Well, so much of Joe Biden's agenda is really going to be riding on his relationship with Mitch McConnell. Especially, of course, if Republicans retain control of the Senate. They do have a very real personal relationship. And Joe Biden is adamant that because he has these kinds of relationships with Republicans that he is going to be able to work across the aisle, bring back some bipartisanship to Washington. But I think it's also important to be pretty clear headed here. The Washington The Joe Biden Left is not the Washington that he is inheriting. This is a far more partisan town. But a lot of it is going to have to come down to him working the phones working those personal relationships, which is really something that Joe Biden enjoys. He prides himself is being you know, a man of the Senate on he is going to have to. Ah, really rely on those relationships going forward. And John just really quickly. President Trump isn't going out quietly. What do you expect a post trump presidency to look like? He's gonna be trying to call the shots for Republicans from Mar a Lago and Cecilia. This is the way somebody who is going to be with the president when he leaves put it to me about what he wants to do. A three part agenda. Destroy the Biden presidency. Very take back the house and then encourage Republicans is their first order of business in the house to impeach Joe Biden. So there you go. That is from somebody close to the president what he wants to do. In the very beginning of of his post presidency. I think what you're telling us is Buckle up. Got it? Yes, ABC is Jonathan Karl, Mary Bruce and Cecilia Vega. Come on his time. 10 50 times here Propel Insurance Money Update. Here's Jim Tesco Mortgage rates continue to hover around all time low levels as we enter the new year. Freddie Mac says the average for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage as of Thursday was 2.67% on the 15 year fixed on average was 2.17% that is a record low. Analysts expect rates to edge higher slightly in the coming year. As more people get the Corona virus vaccine and the economy continues to recover. When it comes to returning to the office. There is apparently quite a discrepancy between the desires of employees and executives. Study from HR Consortium found that while over 83% of CEOs one employees back in the office this year on Lee 10% of employees wish to be back in the office full time. More than half say they wouldn't be comfortable returning without trusting the company's conference and communicating coworkers, illnesses and clear instructions on health and safety policies, plus the option to work from home.
