MIDDLEPORT, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Depew couple has been charged with stealing tens of thousands of dollars from a pub in Niagara County.

Steven, 39, and Juliet McCarthy, 38, are former employees of Pony’s Irish Pub in Middleport. Last month, New York State Troopers had a walk-in complaint from the bar, accusing the McCarthys of stealing from it.

The couple allegedly took cash and unprepared food from the business between 2020 and 2024, a period in which Pony’s was going through a series of renovations.

According to State police, the McCarthys worked together to routinely steal money from the cash-only business, as well as unprepared food. The thefts allegedly totaled in at more than $50,000.

Steven and Juliet McCarthy were both charged with enterprise corruption, conspiracy, and second and third-degree grand larceny — three charges of which are felonies.

After being processed at the Lockport New York State Police barracks, they were turned over to the Niagara County Sheriff’s office to await arraignment.

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.
