Man wanted for domestic-related shooting in Albemarle turns himself in

Taahir Darnell Brunner is accused of shooting at someone from a vehicle, which was when some of the rounds went into the furniture store on N.C. Highway 24/27.

Albemarle police officers spoke with a witness who said someone shot at him from a vehicle shortly before 10 a.m.

Police detectives located and arrested Brunner in Norwood with the help of local police.

Brunner was taken into custody and charged with attempted first-degree murder, discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, discharging a firearm in city limits, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

It was not a random act and the people involved knew each other, according to preliminary reports.

There were no injuries reported.

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.

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.

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.

Inside EV startup Fisker’s collapse: how the company crumbled under its founders' whims

Instead, Fisker Inc. is on the brink of bankruptcy after having delivered just a few thousand electric Ocean SUVs.
