police activity happening at the embarcadero bart station. we first got word just about an hour ago when the station was closed down by police bar tells us the station is now open again . trains are making normal stops . police are reviewing security footage to see exactly what happened. but there are no victims or witnesses that we are aware of. at this moment, we will update you just as soon as we get more information, do our other top story tonight. the future of prison life in california. governor newsom will make a dramatic announcement tomorrow from san quentin state prison. it will transform inmate life. good evening. i'm on the dates, ashley. thanks for joining us that announcement, quentin state prison will soon be called quentin rehabilitation center. the news, first reported by the los angeles times will be made official from the prison site tomorrow, abc seven news reporter jr stone has the reason for this major change and the debate that as you can imagine, is already coming with it. california governor gavin newsom set to make a major announcement friday, quentin state prison

will be renamed san quentin rehabilitation center with additional education, training and rehab for prisoners. it will be modeled after scandinavian ideas there. the goal is to ensure you do not come back and right now what we have is not working with scandinavian ideas used in countries like norway allow for couches. kitchens and more freedoms than most american prisons, and some are outraged over that seems to have completely forgotten the victims . i mean, i think this is a front to the victims because we're saying at least there is still an element of accountability and punishment that should happen in state prison before you get your chance to earn your way out. jordan's alliance for safety and justice disagrees with that. he fully supports the governor, saying those behind bars need more help so they don't end up back. committing crimes isn't um, shortening sentences. this

isn't a get out of jail free card. this is hey, what do you need to be successful? let's give you that so you can get out and do what you need to do to take care of yourself in your conference other locations in pennsylvania, north dakota and oregon have implemented pilot programs, although on a much smaller scale compared to san quentin. i think he should be implementing when people are at the tail end of their sentence or they earned their way out to parole. they're going to be coming back out into psyche, yet he wants to implement it with some of the worst of the worst. we know what standpoint in houses. but jordan's who served seven plus years for robbery, says people can change if they have the tools and help needed. he believes this new program at san quentin is a step towards that i got out 11 years ago. and if it wasn't for programs like the governor's office is going to implement. um i probably wouldn't be here today. um you know, i was able to take advantage of my later years of incarceration of programming. i

was able to get a trade jr stone , abc seven news huge, affordable housing project is getting built right next to san quentin, the new 250 unit building will go near sir francis drake boulevard in open space next to drake's cove road, state officials and residents held a public hearing tonight over the oakland hill apartments . more than half the units will go to marine educators and school staff. the site is part of the county effort to meet governor gavin newsom's executive order on the creation of more affordable housing. today governor newsom was in sacramento to talk homelessness as part of a weeklong state policy tour. his plan today is to cut homelessness by 15% by 2025 to work toward that 1200. new tiny homes will be created throughout the state. san jose will get 200. of those. the rest will be distributed in los angeles, sacramento and san diego. we need to focus with more. energy and precision on addressing and cabinets. there's

no humanity in that. governor newsom expects the tiny homes will be up and running by this fall. there are currently at least 160,000 on housed people in california. alright, let's go down south now developing news in orange county. just look at this. a massive sinkhole has opened right next right in the middle. i should save a condo complex. this is in the town of la habra. another sinkhole is still right nearby, the complex and still unrepaired at this moment, as you can see, it opened in 2019 after a separate drainage canal collapsed during a series of storms. neighbors have even sued to get the first hole fixed. they say they're extremely nervous if the wet weather continues. alright well in the south bay, entire neighborhoods are going on yet another day of outages, and it may be a couple more until the power comes back on. but even after this week's storms battered the region, communities are showing how they're coming together. abc seven news reporter lauren martinez has our story tonight. residents may not

have power, but they have community pulled together to say , let's thank our first responders, and let's also use the food that we don't want to go to waste, commerce, gw catering and downtown restaurant , the post hosted a free cookout event, the mayor said 70 to 75% of los altos lost power from tuesday's storm. so we've managed, but i'm getting tired of it. and you know, not having a stove not having heat not having you get used to these things. you don't realize until you don't have them. several residents are now going on more than 48 hours without power. in one neighborhood, a woman and her family packed up the car to stay somewhere else for the night food that we could still say from the fridge, thankfully , for david sanchez and his wife , their neighbor has a generator and let them connect using extension court's powers up the refrigerator, and that's the most porton thing, and they had coolers just in case in their 40 . years of being in this house power has never been shut off for this long. i cannot

remember. a day. and we've been here since 86 power did return to some areas like downtown los altos in other areas without power. stoplights had signs and reminders for drivers to be alert. we went out for dinner and my dad and i and we want drop back there was like halloween three times everything was so black is projecting power will be restored to this los altos neighborhood on saturday. of course, residents are hoping it returns much sooner than that. reporting in los altos lauren martinez, abc seven news if you're looking for some good news from our recent storms, this is it. 99% of the bay area is drought free, as you can see from the left most photo this time last year, the entire state was in some form of drought, even in the extreme category for most places when it comes to our snowpack. here you go. the snow is now as high as the top of some ski lifts in the sierra. this is at bear valley ski

resort south of kirkwood and alpine county. that lift is 35 ft. high valley as seen about 616 inches of snow this season, uc berkeley's central sierra snow lab in soda springs is just three inches from the second snowiest winter there ever with more snow likely on the way this weekend picture with the ski lift is remarkable. well today, asian americans across the nation honored the two year mark of eight people being killed and three atlanta spas here in san francisco. a special tribute was held a stand with asian americans kicked off the event hotel kabuki in japantown, organizers called for a stop to the ongoing violence against the a p i community which has seen a spike since the pandemic started. the father of michelle go was at the event. today she was an asian american woman who police say was shoved in front of a new york city subway train last january. this was the first time her father has spoken publicly since her death. i want

the world to remember michelle for who she was or how she lived and not just how she died. profound words today from him, victims of the shootings in half moon bay and monterey park were also remembered. similar events were held in atlanta, denver, detroit and new york in the east bay. the oakland diocese makes a stunning announcement. it's considering filing for bankruptcy in light of the hundreds of child sex abuse lawsuits filed against clergy members. the diocese claims the financial costs will exceed its resources. but tonight, lawyers for the alleged victims argue it's just part of the church's strategy, abc seven news reporter answer. hassan has more . the trial set for this may regarding the child sex abuse lawsuits against the oakland diocese could be put on hold if the diocese of oakland files for bankruptcy. um all of the trials against it will immediately be frozen. that's one of the really

important, um, powers that the bankruptcy court has that the diocese would put probably value . that's the analysis of attorney mike wreck represents some of the survivors in the oakland lawsuits. it comes after the church announced on thursday that it's considering chapter 11 bankruptcy. in a letter from the head bishop of the diocese, bishop michael barber, writes quote after much prayer and thoughtful advice. i believe bankruptcy can provide a way to support all survivors in their journey toward healing and equitable and comprehensive way it will also allow the diocese to reorganize our financial affairs. i think it's highly likely that the diocese of oakland has been preparing for this move for some time. victim advocates say. this is the blueprint other catholic diocese across the country. load when hit with similar lawsuits. the diocese of santa rosa declared bankruptcy this past week as well. some see it as an attempt to reduce payouts and transparency. they would like to avoid the bishops and the

vicar's having to testify and having to disclose to the public the details about what they knew and when they knew it. the oakland diocese did not return requests for comment. but on its website claims that it has limited cash and financial resources to deal with all the complaints even if it sells off its assets. regardless rex says it's important to understand that even if the oakland diocese declares bankruptcy, it won't stop the lawsuits from going forward. and in some ways how contentious that is, and how, um and whether it's a process that helps heal the survivors or whether it's a process that hurts them more, um, his yet to be known, and we'll just have to see how the bishop wants to play this in oakland and san hassan, abc seven news i believe this will be, uh. in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside. this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed. the future of

life as we know it could be here in the form of chat gpt tonight in an abc news exclusive. we go inside the san francisco company behind the artificial intelligence that could shake up everything. education is going to have to change. um but it's happened many other times with technology. the potential for major pitfalls and dangerous effects as we hear one on one from the ceo first to look at what's coming up tonight on jimmy kimmel live right after abc seven news at 11, jimmy thanks dan and alma tonight. let's do this together. so you got big man coming out next week. and then what do you got going on after that, well, yeah. okay? you haven't have to pass on that question. mm. bay area's number one news and america's number one news all in one place. abc seven news is now on julia is america's most

creators of chat gpt. even if you haven't heard of it, your life could soon be impacted by this powerful new technology built with artificial intelligence. just this week open ai unveiling its newest version, which can answer complex questions in seconds, it can write speeches. take tests. we learned it can now even passed the bar exam to become a lawyer. 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 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 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 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 80 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. starts since the last time lisa started running, which of the following best approximates the number of 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 you 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 checked cbt the tax information for a typical family 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 eliminate millions of jobs. many people are gonna 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.

rebecca jarvis abc news man. it's really going to change a lot of things. i think it's going to improve things, and there's a scary dark side there really is really is for the moment, though we have to go see the real center. i thought you were gonna say, speaking of scary and dark side thinking, dark side. it's dark up there. there was some sort of connection. there was a connection cold up there. sandy must be chilly. actually it's pretty nice out here. dan and alma. and i think part of the reason why is it is so still, there is no no wind out here. yes, the skies are clear. but i'm bundled up and so i'm good as long as chad gpt doesn't take over forecasting skills were good. alright let's take a look at some great news that we want to talk about the drought updates, so you heard a little bit about it. earlier in the broadcast october, 1st is the start of the water. you're a when you look at the statewide map here. everybody was in this

drought and parts of california and the extreme to exceptional the worst category. this is when the water year started now 64% of the state is drought. free which is huge. all those storms that we've been seeing all the rain all the problems. all of this is actually leading to an improvement in our drought and locally 99% of the bay area is out of the drought. yes there's parts of the north bay. that's still in that dry category. but at least after three years, we're finally seeing an improvement. now this year's snow pack statewide is that 223% of average. historically i mean , it's off the charts on the record books, so we're expecting moderate risk of flooding. the spring outlook. the flooding outlook from the cpc. climate prediction center for the sierra and the central valley. the rest of you looking at minor risk, which includes us here in the bay area here is what i want to tell you. as we look ahead. all these storms paying off yanina is over. we are now in a neutral phase. minor to moderate spring flooding expected possibility of

el nino this fall. that's something we'll keep an eye on, and it's always a good idea to conserve water. as you know, some years we can get really good rain and some years. not so reliable. so as we take a look high pressure controlling the weather dry and mild tomorrow as we head towards the weekend through early to middle next week, we're going to start to see some rain as we do have an active pacific so more storms are coming right now. all is quiet on live doppler seven locally here temperatures in the forties and the fifties as we check out some live views. just absolutely gorgeous from all of our tower cameras. and here's a live view from san jose tonight. it is going to be mild tomorrow afternoon. just like today. increasing high clouds, though scattered showers on sunday wet and windy weather early to middle part of next week. so let's time out your sunday. the weekend's not a washout. sunday morning is the main rain event. it's pretty much winding down just isolated showers through the evening hours. you're saturday's fine sunday you get about 15 hundreds to a half an inch of rain. as we head towards tomorrow morning, thirties and
