2. NBA 2024-2025 Season: Tip-Off (GIBBI)

• East:

  • Boston Celtics

  • Philadelphia 76ers

  • New York Knicks

  • Milwaukee Bucks

  • Miami Heat

  • Indiana Pacers

  • Orlando Magic

  • Cleveland Cavaliers

  • Atlanta Hawks

  • Brooklyn Nets

  • Chicago Bulls

  • Toronto Raptors

  • Charlotte Hornets

  • Detroit Pistons

  • Washington Wizards

• West:

  • Minnesota Timberwolves

  • Denver Nuggets

  • Oklahoma City Thunder

  • Phoenix Suns

  • Memphis Grizzlies

  • Dallas Mavericks

  • LA Clippers

  • New Orleans Pelicans

  • Los Angeles Lakers

  • Golden State Warriors

  • Sacramento Kings

  • San Antonio Spurs

  • Houston Rockets

  • Utah Jazz

  • Portland Trail Blazers

• GIBBI View: In East, I think that Celtics are the team to beat and 76ers, Knicks and Bucks are the only three teams that can compete and “try” to defeat Celtics; In West, the thing is more open because I think that 5 teams have the opportunity to win West (Timberwolves, Nuggets, Thunder, Mavs, Suns) and the rest of the teams to compete to qualify to playoffs; My favorite team Lakers will “fight” again to qualify to play-in because they don’t have the talent to qualify direct to playoffs

3. Elon Musk Is Offering People $1 Million To Vote (The Verge)

• Tech billionaire Elon Musk gave a $1 million check to an audience member at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he’s been Trump-stumping, on Saturday

• Only people who have signed a petition from Musk’s America PAC are eligible for the sweepstakes-style offer. And only registered voters are eligible to sign the petition

• It’s against federal law to impel anyone to vote or get registered to vote and Musk’s $1 million prizes are “clearly illegal,” writes UCLA political science professor Rick Hasen in his Election Law Blo

• GIBBI View: Technical what Elon is doing is “buying” the vote so this is illegal and Elon should be “punished” and maybe go to jail but Elon doesn’t matter about that and it won’t happen anything; in two week from now (November 05th) will be the U.S. Presidential Election and we’ll know the next President of U.S., to be honest I don’t care who’s going to win it because anyone (Trump/Harris) that win this election will “punish” México and its citizens

4. Liga MX: Week 13 - Predictions (GIBBI)

• Tuesday:

  • Santos vs Tuzos

  • Chivas vs Necaxa

  • Mazatlán vs Tigres

  • Toluca vs Puebla

• Wednesday:

  • Cruz Azul vs Bravos

  • Rayados vs Pumas

  • León vs Atlas

  • Xolos vs América

• GIBBI View: I think that there’s 11 teams that “fight” for 10 places in playoffs and play-in, where Necaxa is the team that is in 11th place and need to win tomorrow to still have possibilities to qualify; my favorite team Cruz Azul qualified to playoffs last week but need to keep winning to win 1st place and don’t “relax” because it could be eliminated in first round

5. News Corp Sues AI Company Perplexity (The Hollywood Reporter)

• Dow Jones, the parent company to the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post filed a lawsuit Monday against artificial intelligence company Perplexity, alleging that the company is illegally using copyrighted work

• The suit alleges that Perplexity, which is an AI research and conversational search engine, draws on articles and other copyrighted content from the publishers to feed into its product and then repackages the content in its responses, or sometimes uses the content verbatim, without linking back to the articles

• The suit also seeks $150,000 for each infringement, damages and Perplexity’s profits for each infringement

• GIBBI View: Why Perplexity doesn’t make partnerships with news media companies to use their data and avoid any lawsuit; I think that News Corp and Perplexity are going to reach a deal and this lawsuit will be over
