he has a relationship with bob myers and has a look at today's significant announcement. larry: it is enormous. it comes at a perilous time for the franchise, given the way they ended the season, where they are going and all of the salary cap and luxury tax ramifications for we have been waiting for months to see how this is going to play out. not a surprise bob decided to walk away. this was never going to be a money issue, or looking for another job. he is just exhausted. i know when people hear that, they roll their eyes and go, come on. in his case, it's true. the general manager's job is 24/7 365. countless middle of the night crisis phone calls. and that is just draymond. you have an owner that is generous but demanding. players, all of them want more money. it never ends.

after 12 years, four titles, bob decided this is the time to move on. get off this magnificent, beautiful, lucrative treadmill that never stops churning. you see him working out there because he had hip surgery. steph curry, warriors superstar, writing, before the trophies and memories i remember i told you, you'd better get it right. you did. you did your thing. forever grateful for you as a friend forever. changed each other's lives. enjoy the next chapter, my guy. chris alvarez joining us live from chase center. what was your take away? >> you said a lot of it. how stressful the job is. that was the number one thing, he wanted to spend more time with his family. the other thing, you hit it there with steph curry, the relationships he has built with

these guys. most gm's don't have those kinds of relationships. he is a personable guy. as he said today, he couldn't do this if he couldn't do it his way and 1000%. >> the bottom line is this job, the one i am in, and i would say this for any professional general manager or coach, it requires complete engagement. 1000%. if you can't do it, then you shouldn't do it. that is the answer. team, i thought about a lot of things but i never thought about a day when i would have to say goodbye to a partner and friend. someone who has been so close to our organization. this is a first and there is no script for this. so, raymond. [laughter]

>> to the fans, i grew up a fan. of the warriors. upper oracle. my brother, my dad and i would go. i was born in 1975. that was the last championship. to feel like i helped give this fan base and this community, i did my part. not perfectly, but as best i could. larry: among all -- >> that was my favorite moment, watching bob talk about how he was a fan in the stands and what he did to bring four titles to the warriors, a team he grew up loving and watching, that stuck out. also, joe leica was adamant that the team would win the matter

what. a lot of questions remain tremont. -- what is going to happen to the warriors. bob is employed until june 3. he was asked about the draft. we will see what happens. a lot of uncover in the coming months. larry: absolutely. who knows who is going to be handling the negotiations and everything. that is to be determined. we will see when the warriors decide to make an official announcement, but today is bob's day. dan: when joe stepped in, there were moments that very little awkward, maybe tense. what is your take on that? larry: these are two men who are wired very differently. bob is the ultimate people person. i am not saying joe is not a people person, but joe is focused and driven.

he talked about his time at kleiner perkins, after 25 years he left but he knew what he was going to do. he had a specific destination in mind. in bob's case he was just like, i need a break for my family. for joe it was like, we've got to go. there was one other moment where bob is under contract until june 30 and joe joked, i am going to work him until the last day. you saw bob go, it never ends. [laughter] there was some joke there, but not 100%. kristen: sometimes you need those two personalities. >> great point. kristen: we are learning new details about a stabbing at a bakery in chinatown that left over critically injured. liz kreutz has been following the story and has the latest including what we know about the suspect.

liz: new details about the stabbing monday at the aa bakery in chinatown. according to sfpd, the suspect is a 61-year-old. a witness took this photo of the man leapt to be him outside the bakery after the stabbing. he says he was still holding a knife. according to court records, he was released on parole 10 days ago. he pled guilty in 2018 to attempted murder. a report and hood line says he stabbed an elderly man and was sentenced to nine years in. monday morning after the stabbing, police arrested him. he is booked at county jail for attempt at homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and parole violation. >> my hands are shaking. this is how i feel and a -- i believe a lot of people are shaken. >> david low is a customer. he was shocked to learn the suspect had just been released from prison and hopes this sparks a conversation about reentry. >> someone who has just been

released need support. liz: the stabbing happened just before 10:00 monday morning. -- witnessed the attack. he says the suspect entered and began stabbing one of the workers. >> the guy used a knife to punch down and stabbing the lady in the head and the shoulder. at least four or five times. >> lee says he called 911. the victim was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. >> like everyone else, i am shocked. unspeakable. especially in our neighborhood. >> 24 hours later, the bakery was back open, selling egg tarts and pineapple buns. the owner tells us he does not know or recognize the suspect, but he is thing for his employee is going to be ok. a handful of police remained at the bakery, continuing the investigation. they have not given a motive for the attack.

kristen: the man accused in the stabbing death of cash app executive bob lee as a new attorney. nema many -- his attorney filed a motion to withdraw herself in the case, citing conflict of interest. she did not play with the conflict is. >> how could i ethically represent somebody ever when i have a contrast -- conflict of interest? i would be disbarred. kristen: nema many's new attorney says his client was not happy with previous resident -- representation. he is accused of stabbing and killing bob lee in san francisco on april 4. dan: abc7 is committed to helping build better -- the plight of the homeless is a part of that. today, san francisco will take a different approach when dealing with nonemergency calls. rather than involve police, a highly trained crisis team will

act as first responders. leon melendez is in the loop -- in the newsroom. >> let's start out with saying $3 million from last year's budget was set aside for this new program. the city describes it as the missing piece of the puzzle. many of them have been in that same situation of drug addiction, a few previously incarcerated. they have walked in those shoes before and they know what it takes to reach out to those on the streets who are experiencing a crisis. think of an urban alchemist as a school hallway monitor. there are 850 three of them scattered throughout areas that need the most attention. now, the most experienced ones, about 25 people, will be part of a one-year pilot program called heart. homeless engagement assistance response team. people like lewis hammons trained in nonemergency

situations. >> when you approach somebody who is not all there, what do you know? what kind of training you have that i don't have, the average individual doesn't have? >> we do well in uncomfortable situations. i am comfortable being uncomfortable. i don't see an angry person, ica heard person. that is what we are going to bring, kindest. record this new team is different from the street crisis response team you already see answering emergency behavioral health calls. heart is like the middleman between the person on the street and that crisis team. they will be out from 7:00 in the morning to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and until 3:38 p.m. on weekends. as we have seen in cellphone video, most of the erratic behavior occurs at night. we asked the mayor, why not have responders out on the streets then? >> let's be honest, we have to make sure the people we are

asking to be out there feel safe. would you feel safe going out there in the evenings and not having presence of people or daylight? i to challenging. >> the heart program is one of many intended to get people off the streets. from 2019 until 2022, san francisco saw a 15% reduction in the number of unsheltered homeless. the goal for the next five years is to reduce it by 50%. despite a large city wide budget deficit, the investment in homelessness will continue. >> we are adding 600 more shelter beds specifically. that is when the folks of urban alchemy are out there working with folks, working with people, they need to be able to offer people something. >> the department of homelessness and supportive housing budget will now be a little more than $692 million.

an increase of 3% over the previous year. >> that $692 going to address the housing issue. there was no mention of rehab centers or mental health services today, which are vital to getting people off the street. we are not saying that does not exist, victoria house, it will month rehab center, opened in august of 2022. the issue of rehabilitation, mental health and what else the city can do is to come in the months ahead. the mayor said today she wanted to focus only on housing. dan: thank in the south bay, a new count shows a slight decrease in the homeless population in santa clara county, except when it comes to homeless families. there was a 36.5% increase in homeless families across the county according to its latest

one-day census. the county says there has been an increased focus on helping on housed families, which means people conducting the count found more families. the overall number of on house people decreased by 1.2% in the county. that number dropped by 4.7% in san jose. the census shows a nearly 8% increase in sheltered people, people in interim housing or temporary shelters. kristen: the trouble with technology and the warning for humanity about artificial intelligence. the effort to get riders back on board. the photographer who left a legacy from a generation. spen onshore wind flow again today. the next few days will bring fewer clouds and more warm sunshine. i will have the forecast and just a moment.

across the bart system, weekday ridership is just 44% of pre-pandemic numbers. still, very low. encouraging an effort to boost confidence from riders. >> we want to be sure that as there is increasing returns to the office and we are seeing increased numbers that people are seeing a different bart. they're going to see attendance. >> president generously saying safety is a top priority. visible at the embarcadero station, police and other safety personnel. that apartments interim police chief not denying the public's perception of the lack of safety on trains. >> when incidents like that occur, we have a high closure rate. people get arrested if they commit crimes on bart. >> the agency releasing new numbers saying march and april saw two of the highest monthly arrest rates since the beginning of the pandemic, crediting its redeployment plan. she franklin says rpd has all the funding it needs to fill 31

vacancies. but where the police departments project is secure, the same cannot be said for art. the agency says it is at a do or die decision point and the need for short-term financial aid to continue functioning. >> we want to make sure our state legislatures, who hold so much power in the future of bart, that they are hearing directly from our chief and directly from us. >> the california state legislature recently reserved $2 billion for the transit and -- however, the agency predicts extra cash will run out by 2025. in a release, the agency spelling out how failure would look, saying it would include trains only once an hour, no service on weekends or after 9:00 on weeknights, reduced service to san francisco and oakland international airports. they also warned some stations were closed with the potential for entire lines being shuttered. >> we are committed to doing what we can to bring our passengers back.

dan: is calling on governor newsom in the legislature to bailout public transit across california. labor and business leaders joined the senator today to ask for more state funding to avoid massive service cuts. >> public transportation right now is in crisis. if we do not act to save it, we will cause deep, lasting damage to california's economy, environment, housing affordability and quality of life. dan: he says there are three reasons for the crisis. first, pandemic federal relief funds have started to run out. inflation driving up costs. ridership not recovering as quickly as hoped after the pandemic. senator wiener referenced his home district of san francisco to illustrate his point. sfmta has threatened to cut 20 bus lines if it does not get more money.

governor newsom's budget this year included zero dollars to address operational shortfalls. kristen: it is a tough budget. it is a lovely day perhaps to get on your bike or go walking. >> it is finally beginning to feel more like spring. spencer: in the judgment of most of us it is going to get nicer. let's look at what is happening right now. surface wind speeds are where they have been the last few afternoons. quite gusty. especially in concord gusts are 30 miles an hour. 24 hour temperature change is a mixed bag. the two locations in the north bay are a few degrees warmer than they were this time yesterday. most other locations or two to three degrees cooler. taking a live view over san francisco under partly cloudy skies. in the city, 60 degrees. we've got upper 60's in palo alto, san jose and mountain view. 57 at half moon bay.

mainly blue skies at the golden gate but it is breezy as well. 61 in santa rosa. a little milder at novato. fairfield checks in at 70 degrees. upper 60's at concord in livermore. looking toward the golden gate, you see those low clouds stacking up as they will make their move onshore later. these are the forecast headlines. the marine layer pushes on for tonight. morning clouds by the end of the weekend we can expect a much warmer weather pattern over the weekend. tonight, forecast animation shows mid-level clouds and high clouds out over the bay area. not quite so widespread as over the last few nights. and then of course we will see skies get some grandson year by midday tomorrow. overnight low temperatures will be in the low to mid 50's. the range we have seen the last few mornings. highs tomorrow, near 60 at the coast. mainly mid to upper 60's in bayshore locations.

inland areas just slightly milder than today. mid to upper 70's for the most part. our maximum temperature range over the next few days looks like this. thursday, highs near 80 degrees. friday, mid 80's in many inlan locations. low 70's around the bay. saturday, may be our warmest day of the next two days. upper 80's to near 90. here is the seven-day forecast. fewer clouds thursday morning. much warmer on friday as this warming trend, the pre-weekend warming trend kicks into high gear. notice the highs saturday and sunday, inland upper 80's to near 90. mid to upper 70's, maybe 80 in some bales -- bayshore locations. today, a bit of a cooldown but nice and mild with the low 80's. mild tuesday as well. the weekend, if you love warm weather, is optimum.

[laughter] kristen: if you don't, there is the coast. spencer: there you go. dan: could artificial intelligence bring about the end of humanity kristen: it may sound like hyperbole, but some are warning us

kristen: artificial intelligence raising the risk of extinction, according to a statement raised by a nonprofit. dan: it was signed by some of the leading figures in ai technology. zach fuentes spoke with the organization behind that statement. >> we are concerned that ai could potentially cause the risk of human extinction. zach: the folks that bay area center for ai safety are not the only ones who sharthe concern. the nonprofit draft this one sentence statement, "mitigating the risk o extinction from ai should be a global priority alongside other societal risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. they can get more powerful are the big names who signed in agreement, including sam altman who is behind chatgpt and jeffrey hinton who is called the godfather of artificial intelligence. >> in then it became a lot easier. we were not anticipating getting many industry leaders. zach: industry leaders include

high-level executives at microsoft and google and hundreds of other experts. dan hendricks. >> we are in an ai arms race. companies are needing to compete with each other and develop ai as quickly as possible and they have put development of ai more powerful over making it safe, understandable and transparent. >> he says the risks run deeper. >> another possibility is that we automate some much of the economy and the world is more autonomously run and we don't know how to do things. and we are completely subject to them always doing your bidding. if they turn in another direction or pursue something else, we would be powerless to correct it. zach: sent has a tax expert also signed the statement saying hit makes sense that others decided to do the same as they may want to wash their hands of responsibility. >> when you have a few companies controlling this, those people control the world. those people can direct

technology and society and have tremendous power. zach: the hope is that the statement and its support can lead to other leaders and policymakers recognizing the severity of the growing technology. >> if we cooperate as we did with nuclear weapons, we can make the risks more manageable. but we will need to be proactive about that. dan: a lifetime of history in just one image. >> one of the main legacies i think this student has is documenting japanese-american life. dan: the photographer whose amazing photos available -- kristen: bird lovers need people to come flocking to the rescue.

announcer: building a better bay area. moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7 news. kristen: heritage month. all month long, we are sharing stories that impact the community. little tokyo in los angeles has an amazing history of tragedy and triumph. that history has been captured by one family in the most beautiful way, teaching us not only about little tokyo but about america. it speaks every language. at times it is 1000 words. at times, there are none. each moment captured can live forever. the older it gets, the more it has to say. beautiful photos like these are priceless. there is one family who has been giving us this wonderful gift for a century.

>> in the early 1900s, my grandfather came with his family from japan. >> alan mia taki is talking about his grandfather. >> he studied photograp purchased a studio in 1923. >> 100 years ago, his studio was open for business in little tokyo. he specialized in portraits catering largely to the japanese community. in 1932, he captured t angeles olympics and gave us remarkable images of a coliseum filled with spectators and the greatest athletes in the world. his defining moment came 10 years later during world war ii. his family were forced out of their home in boyle heights and incarcerated. it was here where he revealed to his son archie's secret plan. >> he took my father aside and said hey, i've got to show you something.

he pulled out a camera lens and a film holder and said, i am going to build a camera. >> with pieces he smuggled in and wood scraps, he made this camera. capturing iconic images. they taught us so much about the injustice of these camps. from the barren geography to the guard towers to the barbed wire and the children trapped behind it. to the young men willing to fight for the very country that locked them up, so many moments but how did he get the film? he had an outside friend that smuggled in. >> he said ok. when i get there, i am going to hang my overcoat in the office in the film is going to be in the pocket. >> after the war, the studio was back in business. he eventually handed the reins to his son archie, allen's dad. and then finally to alan. >> one of the main legacies i think this studio has is

documenting japanese-american life. >> from the earliest days of immigrants with horse-drawn carriages to a thriving community with restaurants, shops and businesses, through the decades the studio documented every beautiful and sobering detail. even that moment in world war ii when innocent families were ordered onto buses and taken away. people waving goodbye, unsure of what happens next. >> this is the history. on one wall in my studio at >> in the background -- >> their crowning achievement, a celebration that has been going on since 1934. in this photo, the streets, celebrating their community. >> that's him? >> my god. she had long hair back then. >> that is probably where i first met you, when you were

dan: time for the four at 4:00. air new zealand is now weighing passengers before boarding international flights. it says it is for safety. the airline is not trying to single anyone out. the airline is conducting a survey to measure the average weight of its carry-on bags. they say it is completely voluntary and anonymous. larry, what do you think? the airlines, i think they sort of estimate everybody at 182. what do you think of this idea? it is a critical component to flying. larry: people don't normally understand, sometimes when you fly smaller planes, they have to balance where everybody sits. i am pretty sure they have an idea of what the average weight is. think about this, as if it does not take long enough to board the plane and get everybody

seated and put the stuff in the let's weigh everybody in addition to that. we have a treadmill over there free to drop a couple pounds. >> do they then decline your meal? sorry, no lasagna. spencer: i was with a colleagu years ago. we were boarding a flight like that and she was sensitive about her weight so she insisted someone else get on the scale with her. and then record the total weight. kristen: that is what i would suggest. no invasion of privacy. 10 people at a time. the state department is expanding its territory. it is now dealing with space. today, the department issued a statement -- i am saying stage too many times. outlining a strategy for diplomacy. the document includes rules-based international order for outer space. this comes as more countries had

to china announced its own moonshot program. why not be prepared for when the moment, when the day comes when all of these countries are out there? what you think? dan: it is inevitable that we will continue to venture further out into space. it is already happening, so i suppose in the interest of the united states, it is important that we do it. spencer: it is inevitable. i would like to see our efforts at diplomacy be more fruitful here on earth. >> waited until they see laser. [laughter] >> minutes ago, we should do a story about the concerns of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for the future of the human race. a survey found 54% of americans believe ai is a threat to humanity. 31% think it will benefit humanity. it is not just about a terminator style doomsday, one fourth are worried ai will take

their jobs. larry, i would suggest it is a little bit of both. positive and negative impact on humanity. we have had threats to our jobs for many years. this may be another one per you think? larry: it is something we have to be concerned about obviously. where do the benefits outweigh the negatives? we have talked for years about, they are going to activate skynet. i am not sure if it will be that. the bigger concern i have is about, we are developing it, some bad actors are developing there's, and that is the bigger threat than the machines coming alive and deciding these humans, we are not into them. >> every change in technology has a good and a bad. bad people use technology for bad purposes. spencer: there are upsides and downsides to -- excuse me, technological advances.

i worry about the bad guys doing bad things. kristen: i rated -- i read a book in which the ai got so smart that it decided to blow us all up. >> that is one of the concerns, that it could become sentient, self-aware. kristen: the book felt believable. i'm inclined to believe it could happen. we are going to change the topic. many brides to be are having solo bachelorette parties. a growing trend is skipping traditional bachelorette parties and instead spending time alone to relax and reflect. solo bachelorette party videos on tiktok have billions of use. 7% of couples are opting for a solo trip before they say i do. >> i like that. kristen: i was thinking, the wedding day itself was quite hectic. why not recharge in a way that feels good?

>> get a little perspective. clear your mind. kristen: spencer? spencer: it is an appealing thought. i am not planning on getting married. [laughter] kristen: kids? spencer: both my kids are married. but my grandkids, yeah. maybe i will encourage them to go for the solo version. kristen: that doesn't mean you just drink by yourself, ok? larry: i am doing that already.

great franchises that have done it the right way and compete and play hard. >> where it may suffer a bit, because people don't know the competitors as well, if they give it a chance, it will be very well received. dan: there are bay area connections. aaron gordon grew up in san jose. jackson coached the warriors from 2011 to 2014. you can watch the finals right here. game one coverage begins thursday at 5:00. game two is sunday at 4:30. game three begins wednesday at 5:00. game four is june 9 at 5:00. kristen: now a story for bird levelers. -- bird offers. -- volunteers to take care of baby aquatic birds. leslie brinkley took a check -- in --

>> these are black night herons. despite their size, these birds are just two to three weeks old and were rescued after falling out of nests in santa rosa. >> we get a lot from the oakland area and santa rosa where they nest downtown. when they fall out of their trees, they are falling into streets. >> we specialize in birds that live on and near water. you may be thinking of baby robins were sparrows, we actually get herons, egrets goslings, ducklings. >> international bird rescue was expecting to get orphaned birds like these pelicans by the hundreds in the next few months. it is baby bird season. the covid pandemic decimated their volunteer workforce. >> we are at the lowest volunteer numbers we have ever been since covid. we need new people to come in
