Want this cowtown to love you, Russell Wilson?Be Aaron Gordon.Be coachable. Be flexible. Be humble.Be the guy who checked his ego at the door the minute he was traded to Denver. The guy who talked from the jump about having one goal here, period. And then walked it, all the way home. Shirtless.“I felt like I was going to be a defender for this team, a defenseman for this team,” Gordon, the Nuggets’ uber-versatile forward, said after his monster Game 4 in the NBA Finals. “I knew I was coming in to play defense and make (everybody else’s) job easy.“I like to play defense. That’s my niche. That’s how I came into the league, defensive-minded. As far as the offensive side, it was just get in where I fit in, find cuts, find openings, find transition buckets, try and get easy ones, and then just — really, just get in where I fit in.”Be Aaron Gordon.Get in where Broncos coach Sean Payton needs you to fit in.“When I’ve watched (the Nuggets) — we all get caught up and ...

Warriors owner Joe Lacob refrained from commenting on the state of his team’s roster on the day Bob Myers, his trusted team president and general manager, decided it was time to step away.“The truth is, we have a lot of work to do,” Lacob said May 30.With the NBA Draft looming this week and free agency opening shortly thereafter, the time has come for the Warriors to start answering some questions about how they plan to approach this pivotal offseason.

Opinion: Expanding RYDE enables senior mobility and empowerment

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 16:56:15 GMT

Mobility is a gift. But, as with health, it’s one of those things you don’t think much about until you don’t have it. And let’s face it, the older folks get, the more limited their mobility becomes.The ability to get around is foundational to a thriving society, enabling community members to access opportunities, essential services and social connections. This is especially true for older adults, who need reliable and affordable transportation options that support their mobility and independence.To meet this need in the West Valley, my office and I helped launch a senior transportation program known as RYDE (Reach Your Destination Easily). RYDE was successfully piloted in Saratoga in 2017 to provide affordable and responsive curb-to-curb transportation for adults over age 64. Thanks to the outstanding work and support of two great nonprofits that operate the program—the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council and West Valley Community Services—seniors in several West Valley cities...

New artificial intelligence: Will Silicon Valley ride again to riches on other people’s products?

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 16:56:15 GMT

Silicon Valley is poised once again to cash in on other people’s products, making a data grab of unprecedented scale that has already spawned lawsuits and congressional hearings.Chatbots and other forms of generative artificial intelligence that burst onto the technology scene in recent months are fed vast amounts of material scraped from the internet — books, screenplays, research papers, news stories, photos, art, music, code and more — to produce answers, imagery or sound in response to user prompts.Technology companies are falling over themselves to leverage this new and potentially lucrative technology. Google, valued at $1.5 trillion, has gone all in with its Bard chatbot after rival Microsoft, valued at $2.4 trillion, invested billions in San Francisco’s generative AI pioneer OpenAI. Meta, valued at $680 billion, just announced plans to add chatbots to its apps. Venture capitalists are pouring billions of dollars into generative AI startups.But a thorn...

In the week after news broke of Donald Trump’s historic federal indictment, his campaign announced the former president raised more than $6 million for his 2024 run for the White House.What’s also unique about Trump’s haul — he didn’t raise it the popular way, by flying hat in hand to Northern California.The parade of presidential hopefuls descending on the Bay Area has officially begun with even President Biden himself scheduled to attend three private fundraisers this week at some of the region’s most exclusive neighborhoods.Like Biden, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is coming to the belly of his blue-state rival on Monday — not necessarily to thumb his nose at his Golden State nemesis Gov. Gavin Newsom to rub in Florida’s sending three dozen migrants on a wayward journey to Sacramento earlier this month.DeSantis will be here for the money.
