BEAVER DAM, Wis. - A Dodge County motorcycle crash left one person dead and another with life-threatening injuries on Saturday morning, May 11.

It happened on State Highway 33 near Thompson Road in the town of Beaver Dam. The sheriff's office said a passerby reported the crash around 10:30 a.m.

Based on a preliminary investigation, the sheriff's office said a group of motorcycles was headed east on STH-33 and started to slow down – possibly due to a vehicle turning into a driveway – when the involved motorcycle lost control. Both people on the motorcycle were ejected.

The operator, a 42-year-old Beaver Dam man, was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The passenger, a 50-year-old Beaver Dam woman, died at the Dodge County Fairgrounds, where a medical helicopter landing zone site had been set up.

Neither occupant was wearing a helmet, which the sheriff's office said was a factor in the seriousness of the injuries.

X should bring back stars, not hide 'likes'
Elon Musk's X is preparing to make "likes" private on the social network, in a change that could potentially confuse users over the difference between something they've favorited and something they've bookmarked. According to new posts by company employees, the decision to hide likes is meant to incentivize engagement, by allowing people to favorite content that seems "edgy" and to protect their public image. The change comes across as somewhat unnecessary, given that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, already had a private way to save posts on the platform: bookmarks.

$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It's more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.
