Henderson assistant principal fleeing sexual misconduct charges arrested in Texas

According to Ellis County jail records, Howard Hughes, 61, is facing three counts of online solicitation of a minor for sex and three counts of indecency with a child. His charges in Henderson are three counts of contacting a minor by a person of authority for sex.

These charges stem from an investigation started by the Clark County School District Police Department in March 2024. Hughes was hired by the district in 2022. Local law enforcement went to Hughes’s home on Wednesday, March 20 to make an arrest but learned he fled to Texas and resigned from his school job.

True to its business concept, Turkey's "instant delivery" juggernaut Getir rose quickly. On Monday, the company -- once valued close to $12 billion -- announced it would shut down its operations the U.S., the U.K. and Europe to focus solely on its home market of Turkey. The move puts a bitter end to the company's very aggressive expansion strategy that saw it raise billions of dollars to grow organically and also snap up a number of equally aggressive, yet struggling, competitors to position itself as the market leader.

OpenAI inks strategic tie-up with UK's Financial Times, including content use
OpenAI, maker of the viral AI chatbot ChatGPT, has netted another news licensing deal in Europe, adding London's Financial Times to a growing list of publishers it's paying for content access. The latest deal looks a touch cozier than other recent OpenAI publisher tie-ups -- such as with German giant Axel Springer or with the AP, Le Monde and Prisa Media in France and Spain respectively -- as the pair are referring to the arrangement as a "strategic partnership and licensing agreement". On the content licensing front, the pair said the deal covers OpenAI use of the FT's content for training AI models and, where appropriate, for displaying in generative AI responses produced by tools like ChatGPT, which looks much the same as its other publisher deals.

OpenAI is facing another privacy complaint in the European Union.

Rather more importantly for a resource-rich giant like OpenAI: Data protection regulators can order changes to how information is processed, so GDPR enforcement could reshape how generative AI tools are able to operate in the EU.
