COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Some local and state officials are being turned into celebrity chefs for a day in support of a non-profit that aims to end veteran homelessness.

The second annual Plummer Home Crawfish Boil kicks off on Saturday, May 18 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Uptown Courtyard behind The Loft, Mabella, Salt Cellar and Mix Market.

The event aims to serve Plummer Home’s mission of serving homeless veterans. Some of the celebrity chefs range from our very own mayor to a Las Vegas Raiders player who used to play for the Georgia Bulldogs.

If you’re interested in supporting a local cause and maybe eating some BBQ or Cajun food, you can buy your tickets for Saturday at theplummerhome.org.

To find out more about the event, check out our midday interview from Friday in the video player above.

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. In 2022, Tumblr introduced Tips as a complementary feature to Post+, its subscription offering that allowed creators to put content behind a paywall.

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.
