3:33 pm
night that tornado warning as we come on part of this storm, moving east, the concern in the dallas fort worth area and several other states next, but we do begin tonight with that declassified video of two russian fighter jets and that american reaper drone over the black sea. the pentagon says this video from the drone clearly showing the moment one of the russian jets dumps fuel on the reaper. then making contact damaging its propeller. you can see one of the propeller blades bent after being hit the multimillion dollar drone crashing into the black sea. the u. s says the drone was in international airspace. russia's foreign ministry tonight now claiming the drone was flying in russian restricted airspace and tonight, sources telling abc news that russian ships are now in the area where the drone crashed. abc chief global affairs correspondent martha reddit leading us off again tonight. it is stunning video from the underbelly of the drone . you see a russian fighter jet at high speed approaching from behind, dumping a load of fuel on top of the drone, momentarily disrupting the video
3:34 pm
transmission, but you can clearly see the rear propeller. a second near vertical approach follows another load of fuel. this time the jet even closer than the drone's camera feed is lost for about 60 seconds. believed to be the moment of collision. when the video returns. you see, the propeller has been damaged, bent, the pentagon releasing the declassified video to set the record straight about what happened tuesday over the black sea. words and our actions speak for themselves, and similarly, russia's inaccurate information, false information on location. grasping at straws. changing narratives also speaks for itself tonight. the pentagon also revealing where the intercept first happened where the collision occurred and where the drone ended up in the water , a u. s officials saying russians are now in the area where the drone crashed and have gathered some of the pieces, but
3:35 pm
the pentagon assured that sensitive information has been remotely wiped from the drone and that even if the russians recover it, it will be inoperable. very unlikely that they would be able to recover anything useful. we took steps to protect information aboard. that aircraft. and we heard right there, martha, the pentagon, insisting they took all the necessary measures here to remove any sensitive intelligence from that drone. so what more are you learning tonight? about really? what appears to be a very critical window of time after the drone was actually hit, and then the moment it crashed into the ocean trying to wipe this intelligence from the drone. well, david, we know the drone operators had some control over the drone after the collision, so they were able to guide it into the water that took about 20 minutes , which would give them plenty of time to wipe the drone remotely. and david that is something they trained for all the time. martha raddatz with us again tonight, martha. thank you were to turn out of this powerful cross country storm tonight at this hour, a tornado warning for a time in the dallas area. already a confirmed
3:36 pm
tornado on the ground in fort worth just a short time ago. and these are the images coming in already. large hail falling in weatherford, texas, and across the state 16 states. in fact, on alert right now, from colorado to michigan, and then of course, the east gets hit next, let's get right to senior meteorologist rob marciano. tracking this again tonight. hey, rob. hi david. a dangerous evening across north texas. this is the wind energy from that california storm that tornado watch remains up for the dallas fort worth metroplex that sells weakened somewhat, but you see more bubbling up down around waco. the northern part of this has dropped some snow, and it will push off to the east. we're looking for some rain across chicago into the great lakes. in the southern part of this, that's where the wind energy is again today and tomorrow looks like the threat for damaging winds and possibly some tornadoes. new orleans down i 10 into the florida panhandle through tomorrow night. david marciano with us again tonight, rob. thank you now to your money. and tonight after the collapse of those two american banks the rescue this evening a group of american banks now creating a $30 billion rescue package to save first republic

3:38 pm

3:42 pm
open ai unveiling its newest version, which can answer complex questions in seconds, it can write speeches. take tests. we learned a can now even passed the bar exam to become a lawyer. there placing in the top 10% they believe it could one day help doctors spot disease that the human eye or mind might miss the ceo sam altman is just 37 g p. t stands for generative pretrained transformer that just rolls right off. really named that? well, you know, how does it work? by ingesting a huge amount of text from, you know a significant fraction of the internet. this ai system can learn the underlying representations of what these words mean how they relate to a little bit of something that is sort of, like reasoning. sort of, like understanding what you as a user want some of the time not always not perfectly and try to help you. what changes because of artificial intelligence. part of the exciting thing here is we get
3:43 pm
continually surprised by the creative power of all of society . i think that word surprised, though. it's both exhilarating as well as terrifying to people. i think people should be happy that we're a little bit scared of this. i think people should be little bit scared a little bit, you know, personally. i think if i said i were not, you should either not trust me or be very unhappy. i'm in this job. concerned because they acknowledge even they don't know the full power of what they've created. opening eyes, chief technology officer mira moradi shows us the new version out this week. just listen as i ask a complicated s a t question. lisa gives her brother sam a 15 2nd head start in a 300 m race during the race, sam runs at an average speed of five m per second, lisa runs at an average speed of eight m per second, not including the head start since the last time lisa started running, which of the following best approximates the number of
3:44 pm
seconds that had passed when lisa caught up to sam. within seconds. it answers correctly. the answer is b 25 seconds, and so we pressed about the potential for cheating. you have this. this technology can beat most humans at the s a. t s the bar exam. how should schools be integrating this technology in a way that doesn't increase cheating that doesn't increase laziness among students. education is going to have to change. um but it's happened many other times with technology . when we got the calculator, the way we taught math and what we tested students on that totally changed. the promise of this technology. one of the ones that i'm most excited about is the ability to provide individual learning. great individual learning for each student. they argue the eventual benefits outweigh the negatives . take, for example, your taxes we gave chat gpt the tax information for a typical family
3:45 pm
of three and chose a recent year , giving it pages and pages of tax code copying the tax law here. it's a few pages long. so you're copying tax law just multiple pages of tax law and within seconds, the standard deduction forces. it's $24,000, which was correct. and tonight a first look at what the technology can actually see. watch as we take a photo of what's inside this refrigerator . the technology analyzes what's there? i see that you have some bread, some mozzarella, cheese, tomatoes and mayonnaise. you can make a simple grilled cheese sandwich. with these ingredients . you can make a strawberry toast by spreading the raspberry fruit spread on the bread and topping it with sliced strawberries. perfect providing a recipe. but is this also a recipe for something else replacing jobs with technology? you've said a. i will likely
3:46 pm
eliminate millions of jobs. many people are going to ask. why on earth did you create this technology? i think it can do the opposite of all of those things, too. it is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs. that's true. we can make much better ones. the reason to develop a i at all is that i believe this will be ah, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside. this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed. so in the wrong human hands, it could be a very different device. it could be a very different power. we do worry a lot about authoritarian governments developing this and using russia. china are you speaking to the government? you're in regular contact contact. and do you think they get it? more and more every day. this is really something a lot of truth there about the potential dangers of this artificial intelligeg ound alart about russia and china wanting to get their hands on this
3:47 pm
because it's here. have they talked to the biden administration about this? david sam altman tells me they're in consistent contact and that the reason here is that this is an ai arms race. everybody wants this technology. whoever controls this technology has huge control over our future, and our lives of people at home are just gonna go to chat gpt online and try to test this out, by the way, the recipe part of this is part of our exclusive not yet out for the general public, but it's coming. the future is here. rebecca i know you're gonna have much more coming up tonight on nightline, including this notion that this technology could help doctors in the future as well. but of course the dangers there. we'll get into that with rebecca later tonight on nightline. thank you, rebecca and the team in the meantime, overseas tonight in massive protests erupting across france tonight, many furious over the french government, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 now president emmanuel macron using special constitutional powers to push through the pension reform bill without putting it to a vote in parliament. opponents expected to hold a no confidence vote against the government in the coming days there when we come
