CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Cop on a Rooftop is returning to Champaign to raise money and awareness for the Special Olympics.

Local law enforcement will station themselves at the South Neil Street Dunkin’ on May 17 from 5 a.m. to noon. Some may even be seen waving to citizens from the rooftop of the quick service establishment.

It’s all to support the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois and fundraise for the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run. Patrons can receive a free donut coupon for each donation. For giving $10 or more, a LETR/ Dunkin’ branded tumbler and a coupon for a free medium coffee can also be thrown in.

For more information, visit the Special Olympics Illinois website.

Microsoft's Power Automate no-code platform adds AI flows
Microsoft wants to put its Copilot everywhere. It's only a matter of time before Microsoft renames its annual Build developer conference to Microsoft Copilot. Hopefully, some of those upcoming events will be a bit less lackluster than this year's edition, which lacks any real standout announcements after Microsoft already announced its new Arm-based laptops and AI features in Windows 11 at a separate event the day before Build.

Chatting with Alchemist CEO and founder Ravi Belani ahead of demo day (today at 10:30 a.m. Pacific) about this cohort, it was clear that ambitions for AI startups have contracted, and that's not a bad thing. No early-stage startup today is at all likely to become the next OpenAI or Anthropic — their lead is too huge right now in the domain of foundational large language models.
