(KRON) – The California Highway Patrol reminds drivers that express lane driving is not for solo drivers.

CHP in Hayward posted a picture on Facebook (see below) of a driver who placed a hat on the top of the passenger seat to create the illusion that there was another person in the vehicle with him.

The California Highway Patrol states, “While driving in the Express Lane on the freeway, drivers are required to set the (FasTrak) transponder to the correct number of actual occupants inside the vehicle.”

Not complying with this rule can result in a citation of the California Vehicle Code and a fine of $238.

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.

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.
