Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a long time reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC.

2:13And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast or ever you get your podcasts. For a few days of hard work, CNBC is impulsive and short-term, which is not a matter of value.

3:23It is not only about its artistic nature, but also about the fact that it has always been able to do with the world, not with the edge of the region. And this morning, we will see something unusual. Oksana sat on the hook, hot-blooded club, beating her knee. Dmyto Piedishov is close, and he remembers immediately in the evening the beach and the ice-cream. Oksana, you don't look good. Maybe you're a little bit sick. Oksana was a little bit scared, but he lost his head. No, colleagues, just an allergy on the floor. Maybe you have to let go of the batteries, it's not scary. Dmyto Piedishov is sure, but he still hasn't touched him. On the door he smells fresh grass, and the neighbors have already begun to gather together, so that he can get rid of the big day.

4:29But Oksana didn't even have five hours of light, and each year she is only a little bit scared. In the rise of the neighbor's light, the situation became critical. Oksana has lost her body, a little bit of breath. Dmyto, I understand that every day she was scared of the road, she was scared of the solution. The accident, but it's not possible, it's hard to try her, and to help Oksana to get up. She immediately called up in the evening, explaining what the situation is about. Likari had been scared for a few, and did not take the Oksana away from Likarni. Likarni and Oksana went to the hospital to help her. After the accident, Likarni said to Dmyto, thank you, I understood, asking for help not always means to be weak. Dmyto Lyshekivnov, and I am glad to hear that he made a right choice.

5:34Dmyto Lyshekivnov, and I am glad to hear that he made a right choice. The sound of the sound is still ringing, and the new understanding has been born from the neighbors. From now on, I am glad to know that no need to help the neighbor. And with each big day, Likarni and the neighbors of the neighbor's yard were only with her. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The spring sun bade the small Kyivsky neighborhood in light, where blooming trees blossomed under the windows and colorful Pisanki stood in every yard. Dmyto, a brave and innocent person, as always,

6:35helped the neighbors to prepare for the great world. Dmyto, a cautious and prudent man was, as always, helping his neighbors prepare for the Velikadni holidays. He performed his routines precisely, systematically checking the bushes and decorations around his house. Just a few houses away lived Oksana, an impulsive and creative woman who valued independence above all else. She stood out not only for her artistic nature, but also for always knowing how to make her home the brightest in the neighborhood.

7:50However, this morning Dmyto noticed something unusual. Oksana was sitting on the porch, curled up, hugging her knees. Dmyto came closer and immediately noticed the red spots on her skin. Should I call a doctor? He asked confused.

8:52Oksana smiled a little but shook her head in denial. No dear, it's just an allergy to pollen. I just need to let it pass a bit. It's nothing serious. Dmyto might have believed her, but something inside alerted him. The yard smelled of fresh grass, and neighbors were already beginning to gather together to celebrate the lookedin. Yet, Oksana was anxious even during the festivities, and with every hour her condition only worsened.

9:59In the midst of the neighborly celebration, the situation became critical. Oksana leaned on the table, breathing heavily. It was clear that every minute was precious, Dmyto made a decision. Sorry, but this is not right. He firmly stated and helped Oksana to stand up. He immediately called an ambulance, explaining the situation to the operator.

11:05Doctors arrived in a few minutes, and soon Oksana was taken to the hospital. Her smile disappeared, but gratitude glimmered in her eyes. In the hospital, Oksana received the necessary care. After leaving the ward, she quietly said to Dmyto, thank you, I've realized, asking for help doesn't always mean your week. Dmyto simply nodded with satisfaction feeling that he made the right choice.

12:13The spring sun shone again, as a new understanding was born in the neighborly relationships. From now on, both knew that independence and help could go hand in hand. And with every major day, their small neighborly community only became stronger. Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
