WEBVTT 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.549 Hello and rise up sunshine. I'm Koi Wire 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:15.990 here with your 10 minutes of news for 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.109 October 26. Today is National Day of the 00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:21.109 Deployed, a day to recognize the 00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:23.029 sacrifices made by service members 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.750 stationed far from home and the families 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.269 holding it down while they're away. 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:29.509 Birthdays, holidays, ball games, 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.549 everyday moments, all experienced from a 00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:34.630 distance. So today, we honor the service 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.030 overseas and the quiet courage back 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:39.350 home. And that makes this a perfect day 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.229 for another edition of our CNN 10 honor 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:44.790 role, where your submissions help us put 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:46.869 the spotlight on some very special 00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:48.950 service members. Our first salute goes 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.910 to Petty Officer Secondass Dorian Ror, 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.470 who has been serving since 2020. His mom 00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:56.389 Heather is a teacher at Southern High 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.229 School in Graham, North Carolina. And 00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:01.029 the school posted this video of Dorian 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.510 surprising mom on the football field a 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.750 few years ago. Miss Ror tells us Dorian 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.230 is hardworking, kind, and resilient 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:10.070 after some tough deployments so far in 00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:11.830 his career. Dorian continues to push 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.469 forward every day. Petty Officer Ror, 00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:17.350 Mama Ror, we salute you. Next up, 00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:20.230 chaplain, First Lieutenant Joshua Felra 00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:22.870 in the US Air Force. His family writes, 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:25.109 "As a chaplain, he helps ensure that all 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:27.590 the airmen have religious freedom 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.670 regardless of their background or faith. 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.069 He provides care for the airmen in many 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.830 different ways to ensure the spiritual 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.749 well-being and readiness of every 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:38.230 American warrior. Sir, thank you for 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.469 helping your fellow airmen rise up when 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:42.710 they need it most." And this next salute 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.429 goes to US Air Force Senior Airman 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.149 Dalton Fox. His mother, Mrs. Burkehead 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.069 Fox teaches at Central Junior High 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.710 School in Belleville, Illinois. And this 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.590 salute, a family affair. She also sent 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.590 us this photo from her time serving in 00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:59.749 the Air Force. Two generations, double 00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:02.389 the service, double the respect. Thanks 00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:04.789 to everyone who sent us nominations this 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.789 month. Keep them coming. Send us a photo 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.790 or a video and a few lines about a hero 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.550 in your life to cnn10@cn.com. 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.470 Now, let's get you your news. Today we 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:16.630 are talking about data centers. As 00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:18.470 artificial intelligence becomes a bigger 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:20.550 part of the economy, tech companies are 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.630 racing to build massive facilities 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:25.030 packed with computers to power all of 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:27.190 it. But sometimes communities across the 00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:29.510 country are pushing back. Worried these 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.589 facilities can place added demand on 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.550 electricity, water, and neighborhoods. 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.390 Now, here's the part that may make you 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.390 say, "Wait a minute. What? Something 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.550 about the size of a grain of rice could 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.270 help an entire data center waste less 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.270 power. A New York-based company is 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.750 developing tiny power management chips 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:50.390 that help servers use electricity more 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.949 efficiently. Tiny chip giant energy 00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:55.270 bill. CNN got a rare look at how they're 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.869 being made. 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.070 >> This is to make sure nothing gets in the 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.550 fab and disrupts the chip making 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.190 process. feel like I could survive the 00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:09.990 apocalypse in this thing. 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.630 With more AI data centers comes massive 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:15.190 demand for electricity and that's led to 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.430 a lot of questions. Who is going to pay 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:19.830 for that electricity? Can the power grid 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.070 handle the increase? And what about the 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.550 environmental impacts? The chips made in 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.949 this facility right behind me could play 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:29.430 a role in helping to address some of 00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:30.309 those questions. 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.710 >> So, it's a power conversion and a power 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:35.030 delivery is what we do. and we have to 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:37.030 do it very very efficiently. 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.350 >> Once is one of several companies that 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.589 makes chips for data centers to be able 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.750 to harness power from the grid and 00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.509 advancements in these chips could 00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:47.830 eventually help data centers get more 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.670 computing power out of all that 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.949 electricity they're using. 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:53.589 >> If you save 1% 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.710 you are able to power pretty much the 00:03:56.720 --> 00:03:58.470 whole community around that uh data 00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:00.949 center for a year. El Curi explains that 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:03.350 the chips help direct power in the same 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.509 way stop lights help manage the flow of 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:06.070 traffic. 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.830 >> Think about two different cities. One's 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.670 got a very nice grid with synchronized 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.190 lights and one is just a free-for-all. 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:15.110 Well, you're going to get wherever you 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.590 want to get to more efficiently in the 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.789 grid with the lights that are 00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:19.590 synchronized. 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.749 >> The chips themselves are almost as tiny 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.990 as a grain of sand and can take months 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.629 to make. So, I'm getting ready right now 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.990 to go into a clean room, which is where 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.550 the chips are actually printed. It has 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.430 to operate at a thousand times cleaner 00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:37.590 than a hospital operating room. In the 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.670 clean room, electrical circuits are 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.749 printed onto silicon wafers, which 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.909 eventually get cut into chips that go 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:46.310 into data centers and electric vehicles. 00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:49.430 It's so important in this process that 00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:51.590 these wafers are cleaned and prepped 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.270 properly because if something happens to 00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:55.510 it could be thousands and thousands of 00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.830 chips that are potentially at stake. It 00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:59.670 could take more than a thousand of 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.030 onsemi chips to power a single GPU. The 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.590 type of chip that the servers inside AI 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.270 data centers need to function. 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:10.950 >> Whether it's 10 steps or 40 or 50 steps, 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.670 it will travel throughout the path 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.830 automated. So its route is automated 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.070 based on what product 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:18.469 on. 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:18.950 >> Wow. 00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.430 >> But chips like onsemies are just one 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.749 piece of the puzzle. Experts say the 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.510 power grid needs to get better at 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:27.830 managing fluctuations in power demand 00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:31.029 brought on by data centers and AI models 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:34.710 should get more power efficient. 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.710 >> In the meantime, data centers have 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.629 become a divisive issue across the 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.870 country as people are pushing to keep 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:43.029 them out of their communities. Have you 00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:45.189 ever personally heard any backlash 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.749 against this AI data center buildout? 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.590 >> Uh, yes. It makes uh dinner 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.270 conversations a little bit frustrating. 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:53.189 I would love to have a dialogue and I 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.629 would love to have a debate. I'm not 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.390 discounting the downside and the impact 00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:58.950 on on communities, but that's a problem 00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:03.749 we have to solve. Not a gate to hold up. 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.909 Now to New York City and the end of a 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:07.350 tradition that has rolled through 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.270 Central Park for more than a century. 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:11.590 Horsedrawn carriage rides are officially 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.430 being phased out. The New York City 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:15.510 Council voted to ban the carriages 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:18.150 beginning in June of 2028. The decision 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.390 follows years of debate over animal 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.790 welfare, public safety, and the future 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.790 of the workers whose livelihoods depend 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.510 on the industry. That debate intensified 00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:29.670 after an 18-year-old tourist died this 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.350 summer after jumping from one of the 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.830 carriages that took off with no driver. 00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:36.230 The law requires the city's mayor, Zoran 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.790 Mandani, to develop a transition plan by 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.189 next April to help the more than 150 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.749 drivers and other workers and consider 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.309 compensation and protections for the 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.710 retired horses. City Hall says the plan 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.710 may include some compensation for the 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.189 drivers. The driver's union says it 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.350 plans to challenge the law in court. 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.110 Some drivers worry they won't be able to 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.830 afford to care for their horses. 00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:01.909 It's very stressful for horses to change 00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:03.909 homes, change routines. They're happy 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:05.830 and content here, and they're going to 00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.830 be basically thrown into an orphanage if 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:08.790 they're lucky. 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.510 >> The Central Park Consery, the nonprofit 00:07:11.520 --> 00:07:13.430 that operates the park, is supporting 00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.430 the ban, saying the carriages pose a 00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:17.830 serious risk to visitors, drivers, and 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:20.629 the horses themselves. 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.550 Pop quiz hot shot. Which of these toys 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.469 became the hottest selling gift of the 00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:27.990 1996 holiday shopping season? Furby, 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.870 Tamagotchi, Tickle Me Elmo, or Beanie 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:34.230 Babies. 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.469 If you said Tickle Me Elmo, you are one 00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:39.189 savvy shopper. The toy dominated the 96 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.029 holiday season, selling more than 1 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:43.430 million units and spurring stampedes of 00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:45.749 shoppers trying to snag the snuggly red 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.790 Muppet. We are still 5 days away from 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.629 Halloween. Yet, retailers are already 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.870 saying, "Move over pumpkins. Christmas 00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:55.189 is coming." Hamley's in the UK, the 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.029 world's oldest toy store, just revealed 00:07:57.039 --> 00:07:59.909 its annual list of 15 holiday toys, 00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:01.909 predicting what might become this year's 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:03.830 Tickle Me Elmo. One of the biggest 00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:06.550 trends, squishies, moldable, 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.550 stretchable, darn near irresistible for 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.629 lots of youngans. And it's one of the 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.950 cheapest on the list. It's just come out 00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:15.990 of nowhere. And everybody wants squidgy 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.469 things. Teenagers want them, little kids 00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:21.110 want them, adults want them. Interactive 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.589 pets are also expected to be big with 00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:26.390 toys that react to your voice, touch, 00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:28.469 claps, and movement. Basically, all the 00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:30.150 fun of a fluffy friend minus the 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.230 shedding, the vet bills, and chewing up 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.790 your brand new Jordans. Superhero fans, 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:37.269 Dr. Doom, a villain from the Marvel 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.909 universe, shows up twice as an action 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.790 figure and a Lego display. And not 00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:44.310 everything needs batteries. The list 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.269 also includes a wooden London taxi, a 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.389 classic style creative playset.
