Grand Junction, Colo. (KREX) — On Tuesday, 31-year-old Angela Klickner of Clifton turned herself in at the Mesa County Correctional Facility in response to a warrant for her arrest. Now that Klickner is in custody, the former church volunteer faces multiple alleged charges including 10 counts of sexual assault on a child from a person in the position of trust with a pattern of abuse, two counts of obscenity and one count of criminal extortion.

Klickner is currently being held at the Mesa County Correctional Facility on a $100,000 cash bond.

The charges stem from alleged incidents that happened while Klickner was working as a volunteer for the Landmark Baptist Church located off Ute Avenue. Klickner volunteered there between 2022 and 2023.

Church officials contacted law enforcement immediately after they received reports about Klickner’s alleged inappropriate contact with the victims.

There is no evidence as of yet that Klickner’s alleged abuses happened at the church preschool.

President Biden vetoes crypto custody bill
President Joe Biden has vetoed H.J.Res. 109, a congressional resolution that would have overturned the Securities and Exchange Commission's current approach to banks and crypto. Specifically, the resolution targeted the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, which presents guidance around how banks can handle customers’ crypto assets — in effect, they must treat those assets as liabilities.

Fisker collapsed under the weight of its founder's promises
Over the past eight years, famed vehicle designer Henrik Fisker suggested his EV startup would deliver on a lot of promises, but none came true. As Fisker looks for an unlikely rescue, employees told TechCrunch that the blame rests largely on the shoulders of the husband-and-wife team who steer the company. The AI startup raised $6 billion at an $18 billion pre-money valuation as it aims to compete with OpenAI, Microsoft and Alphabet.

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.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.

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.
