tickets. only to leave mulling over what happened in that game. >> what you think they did run tonight? >> you know, there was just a lot of missed opportunities. they had a whole bunch of rebounds, and they just couldn't capitalize on them. >> you know, we have a lot of turnovers. we were just playing like we were going to play, we weren't playing like we were in a game six playoff game. >> these king fans, along with game seven head back on sunday. >> warriors! we are going to win in sacramento. >> reporter: these cold-blooded fans believe the team will not a loose in the next round. >> warriors and seven, it is all good, we've got the next time. >> game seven is going to be electric. today, california win. >> reporter: in san francisco, gia vang, nbc news. the game is in sacramento, watch party at chase center, it

here is nbc's tom just that. >> this was the first chance for a's fans to show the team and ownership how they feel about the team being uprooted and moved to nevada. a group of about two dozen a's fans showed their displeasure with the news that the 25 have a binding agreement on 49 acres near the las vegas strip, where they plan to build a new stadium. >> it has been got wrenching. >> reporter: oakland fans have seen this before when their nfl raiders moved to las vegas in the warriors moved across the bay to san francisco, and they are not ready to give up on their a's just yet. >> i am hope there is one last ditch effort to have them stay in oakland. >> reporter: protesters specifically target 25 owner, john fisher on their sign. they say fisher intentionally sabotaged the team to justify a move to las vegas by raising season ticket prices and getting proven talent from the a's roster and driving home attendance to just over 11,000 fans per game.

>> absolutely. i do. >> he is purposefully making the team lose. they doubled the ticket prices and expect people to show up and drop that bombshell news last week. >> the president told nbc bay area, the team has been eyeing las vegas for more than two years and they are working with the city and state of nevada to help fund the project. fans are waiting to see if nevada will play along and reject the tax credit from the state before they move. >> i still have hope. this is not the first time oakland has said they are buying property other than oakland. >> and prepared for the worst, but i'm hoping for the best. >> reporter: we did reach out to the head of a's baseball communication to get reaction, especially to that allegation that the team is intentionally being sabotaged to justify the move, but they did not get back to us. in oakland, tom johnson, nbc

most of that investment comes from microsoft. the investors are buzzing about open ai, primarily because of their controversial, but wildly popular chat gpt conversation ai model. here's something that caught our attention, an ai clone, good enough to fool family members. a journalist with the wall street journal recently enlisted ai companies to create a clone that both looked and talked like her. >> tiktok femme, it is joanna stern, your expert. >> that is an ai version of joanna stern. she created this avatar, she used chat gpt to create the script of what to say, but stern took her experiment much further. she had her clone stand-in for her, talk to her bank and even chat with family members. scott spoke with a stanford professor today who spoke with this and says now, it is harder than ever to tell what is real and what is fake. >> well, we can't stop technology at this point.

okay, the big melt is happening as we speak in yosemite. the powerful waterfalls racing down. coming down like thunder down those cliffs, and they will get even more intense. that is why much of yosemite valley is closed for at least the next six days. we have been talking about flooding potential in the river. it could reach flood stage this weekend. other parts of the valley also concerned. let's bring our chief meteorologist, jaff ranieri. what my change next weekend? >> that is exactly right. we are looking at a colder storm that would actually bring some higher parts this year, potentially a foot of snow and colder temperatures to help slow down that flooding threat through the foothills and the central valley. right now, outside of our sky camera network you can see that from rolling into san francisco. that will be with us tomorrow morning at the coast with a spotty drizzle in some areas of low clouds inland through the afternoon. we get in on some sunshine and some high clouds for most of

in downtown san francisco we are back to the 50s and the 60s. maybe you are heading up to one country, we have 81 in sonoma, 80 in santa rosa, 80 in mill valley. so, dry all weekend long, and by next week our storm system will drop down and hang out for the entire week. not only colder temperatures in the 60s, but a chance of rain, even some sierra snow. let's see what we are seeing about the rain chances, monday through next week, nothing big, but we will see a test to a half inch of rainfall. then, by next friday night and saturday we could see a quarter to an half inch. quarter weekly totals of 3/10 to 1 inch. so, a sharp turn from what we have seen this week, and sierra snow, look at this. looking at a foot there for some of the highest elevations next week. seven-day forecast, the other thing i want you to see is wind monday, 20-3 miles per hour,
