MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three suspects are on the run after a car theft in the parking lot of The Capital Grille on Poplar Avenue in East Memphis.

One suspect pulled two handguns on the victim during the incident, which happened at 1:35 in the afternoon Wednesday.

Police say one of the supects broke the sunroof of a 2021 Infiniti and crawled inside carrying a programmer.

As the victim approached the vehicle, police say another suspect pointed one of his two guns at the owner.

They stole the Infiniti, with one of the suspects driving away in a Nissan Maxima.

The 60-year-old victim works as a valet at the restaurant.

He said he was in fear for his life when the guns were pointed at him, and doesn’t feel anything will be done about it.

If you have any information regarding this incident, call Memphis CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.

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.

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.

Inside EV startup Fisker’s collapse: how the company crumbled under its founders' whims

Instead, Fisker Inc. is on the brink of bankruptcy after having delivered just a few thousand electric Ocean SUVs. As the company grasps for an improbable rescue, employees who spoke to TechCrunch say the blame largely rests on the shoulders of two people: the husband-and-wife team whose name is on the hood.
