The Warriors’ dynasty is not dead.Not yet, at least.But it’s on life support after the Warriors dropped Game 2 of their first-round playoff matchup to the Sacramento Kings Monday, putting them in a 2-0 series hole.It’s the first 2-0 deficit the Warriors have faced in the dynastic era, which stretches back to the 2014-15 season.It might be the deficit that brings an end to the Dubs’ Big Three and the dynasty as we knew it.For a team that has prided itself on winning a road game in 27-straight playoff series and having never lost a Western Conference playoff series with its core three players healthy, the fall of both of those streaks could well be imminent.But there’s no conspiracy or scandal to the Dubs being in this predicament. The Kings have roundly beaten them in both games. The Warriors have helped Sacramento’s cause with their play.Now the Warriors need to do something incredible — win four of the next five games — to win this series and con...Russian court to hear jailed US reporter’s appeal

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian court on Tuesday is scheduled to hear a defense appeal of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s arrest on espionage charges.Gershkovich, 31, is the first U.S. correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia for alleged spying. Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, arrested Gershkovich in Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth-largest city, on March 29 and accused him of trying to obtain classified information about a Russian arms factory.Gershkovich, his employer and the U. S. government all deny he was involved in spying and have demanded his release.The Moscow City Court is set to consider a defense appeal of his arrest on Tuesday.Gershkovich could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Russian lawyers have said past investigations into espionage cases took a year to 18 months, during which time he could have little contact with the outside world.He is held in Moscow’s Lefortovo prison, which dates from the czarist era and has be...Hartman goal in 2nd OT gives Wild 3-2 win over Stars in G1

DALLAS (AP) — Ryan Hartman scored 12:20 into the second overtime to give the Minnesota Wild a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars in their playoff opener Monday night that dragged into early Tuesday morning. Hartman gathered the loose puck and skated in front of the crease before lifting it over the extended left leg of Jake Oettinger at 1 a.m. local time, ending a more than four-hour game in which both 24-year-old goalies had spectacular performances. Stars defenseman Thomas Harley had knocked the puck toward the corner, but Colin Miller was unable to clear it, with the puck instead ricocheting off Sam Steel’s stick and toward Hartman, who had just circled from behind the net. Steel was credited with an assist, and also scored a goal in his first NHL playoff game. The Stars had just been turned away on a power play after Frederick Gaudreau’s tripping penalty against captain Jamie Benn 9:11 into that second overtime. Roope Hintz, who scored on a power play in the second period...Elon Musk advierte que la IA podría causar la “destrucción de la civilización” aunque invierte en ella

Nueva York (CNN) — Elon Musk advirtió en una nueva entrevista que la inteligencia artificial podría llevar a la “destrucción de la civilización”, incluso mientras sigue profundamente involucrado en el crecimiento de la IA a través de sus muchas empresas, incluida una nueva empresa que se rumorea.“La IA es más peligrosa que, por ejemplo, un mal diseño de un avión o un mal mantenimiento de la producción o una mala fabricación de un automóvil, en el sentido de que tiene el potencial –por pequeña que sea la probabilidad, pero no es trivial– de destruir la civilización”, dijo Musk en su entrevista con Tucker Carlson, que se emitirá en dos partes el lunes y este martes por la noche.Musk advirtió recientemente en repetidas ocasiones de los peligros de la IA, en medio de la proliferación de productos de IA para uso general de los consumidores, incluidos los de gigantes tecnológicos como Google y Microsoft.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Michelle Yeoh says she is looking for new challenges including as a producer, as she credited perseverance, hard work and passion for her historic Oscar win last month. The 60-year-old became the first Asian to win the Academy Award for best actress for her performance as a laundromat owner in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The movie won a total of seven awards, including best picture.Returning to her native Malaysia to celebrate her mother’s birthday, Yeoh said she felt a sense of relief after clinching the award.“It was a roller coaster ride that started last year when the movie first came out. It was a whole year of not knowing, wanting, hoping, wishing,” she told a news conference. “During the journey, everyone was asking, ‘Do you want the Oscar?’ I said, hell, yes, of course I want the Oscar. Who doesn’t? I am not going to beat around the bush and say no because it represents so much to so many of us.”Yeoh reiterated that her Osca...US diplomatic convoy attacked in Sudan amid new truce appeal

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Washington’s top diplomat said Tuesday that a U.S. Embassy convoy came under fire in Sudan and denounced “indiscriminate military operations” as the country’s armed forces and a powerful rival unleashed heavy weapons in urban areas for a fourth day.The convoy of clearly marked embassy vehicles was attacked on Monday, and preliminary reports link the assailants to the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling Sudan’s military, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters. Everyone in the convoy was safe, Blinken said. The Sudanese military said the attack took place in Sudan’s restive Darfur region.The convoy attack, along with earlier assaults on aid workers and the EU envoy’s residence in the capital of Khartoum, signaled further descent into chaos since the battle by two rival generals for control of Africa’s third-largest country erupted over the weekend.More than 185 people have been killed and more than 1...Latest news
