BLENDON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A Wyoming woman was killed in a Friday morning crash in Blendon Township.

Around 7:45 a.m., deputies with the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office were sent to the area of 72nd Avenue and Tyler Street for a crash.

Responding deputies learned that westbound red sedan, driven by a 28-year-old Wyoming woman, had stopped at a stop sign. When the sedan started to go through the intersection, it was hit by a northbound cement truck. The cement truck was driven by a 43-year-old Zeeland man.

The Wyoming woman died, the sheriff’s office said. Her name has not been released pending notification.

The intersection was closed for several hours while crews investigated. It has since been reopened.

The crash remains under investigation.

VCs are selling shares of hot AI companies like Anthropic and xAI to small investors in a wild SPV market
SPVs are generally formed by investors who have direct access to the shares of these startups and then turn around and sell a part of their allocation to external backers, often charging significant fees while retaining some profit share (known as carry). While SVPvs aren’t new – smaller investors have relied on them for years – there’s a growing trend of SPVs successfully getting shares from the biggest names in AI. Rather than giving up the shares because the early investor can’t afford them, they’ll create the SPV, fund it by raising money from others, and, in most cases, charge additional fees.

You can no longer use Tumblr’s tipping feature
The reason for shutting down the feature is simple: it failed to gain traction. Additionally, it has been Tumblr's plan since last year's reorg to put an end to things that aren't performing well. In 2022, Tumblr introduced Tips as a complementary feature to Post+, its subscription offering that allowed creators to put content behind a paywall.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.
