April 4, 2024 at 12:31 AM

In 2014 a hail storm passed through Abilene coming on quickly and bringing hail in some areas as large as grape fruit. Though it didn't last long the scale of destruction it left behind is an experience that those who went through it still remember to this day. Former KTAB/KRBC videographer Adam Singleton was supposed to be covering the Center for Contemporary arts "Art Walk" that afternoon his task quickly switching to storm coverage when the clouds blew in.

Sam's Club's AI-powered exit tech reaches 20% of stores
Amazon may be scaling back its AI-powered Just Walk Out checkout-free tech in its stores in favor of smart shopping carts, but Walmart-owned Sam's Club says it's turning to AI to speed up its own exit technology. Instead of requiring store staff to check members' purchases against their receipts when leaving the store, Sam's Club customers who pay either at a register or through the Scan & Go mobile app can now walk out of the store without having their purchases double-checked. The technology, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, has now been deployed at over 120 clubs across the U.S., which is 20% of the total number of Sam's Club locations.

Shinkei's humane, quality-preserving fish-harvesting tech could upend the seafood industry
Shinkei is working to improve it with an automated system that more humanely and reliably dispatches the fish, resulting in what could be a totally different seafood economy. On many fishing vessels, fish are left to suffocate on the deck, flopping about and injuring themselves, resulting in a higher likelihood of bacterial infection, shorter shelf life and worse taste. The machine holds the fish in place, identifies the species and shape, and from there can determine where exactly the brain is, which it spikes quickly and accurately.
