Scale AI gig workers describe desperation of using people’s personal profiles and copyrighted work to train AI Tens of thousands of people have been paid by a company part-owned by Meta to train AI by combing Instagram accounts, harvesting copyrighted work and transcribing pornographic soundtracks, the Guardian can reveal. Scale AI, 49%-controlled by Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire, has recruited experts across fields such as medicine, physics and economics – putatively to refine top-level artificial intelligence systems through a platform called Outlier. “Become the expert that AI learns from,” it says on its site , advertising flexible work for people with strong credentials.

Freeze, dry or pulse past-their-best rosemary, thyme and more, to use in anything from bread or potatoes to chilled yoghurt soup What can I do with herbs that are past their best? Joe, by email Happily, Joe and his on-the-turn herbs aren’t short of options. “The obvious choice for hard herbs is to chuck them in a sandwich bag and freeze them for future stock-making,” says Alice Norman, founder of regenerative bakery Pinch in Suffolk. Alternatively, Sami Tamimi, author of Boustany , would be inclined to dry his excess herbs. In summer, he’d simply pop them on a tray and put them outside in the sun, but right now he “dries them in a 60-70C oven, then packs in containers, ready for the next time you’re short of fresh herbs”. Norman’s current MO is to blitz languishing herbs (“rosemary and/or thyme work best”) with a 3:4 ratio of fine salt. “You don’t want too many herbs, because that will throw off the moisture content and turn the mix black, but you need enough for the blades to catch and break down the rosemary properly.” Pulse until fine, then store in an airtight jar in the fridge (where it’ll keep for a month or so). “That can be used for so many things, from seasoning game to roast potatoes, and it works particularly well in bread.” To which end, take any focaccia recipe, boost it with mashed potato and replace the required salt with the herby salt: “The potato helps retain moisture, while the rosemary salt adds fragrance.” Got a culinary dilemma?

The Trump ‘library’ and an attack on the Presidential Records Act have more in common than it might seem Last week, the Trump administration proudly published two pieces of news which, at first sight, could not be more different: one a dry 52-page legal opinion from the justice department declaring the 1978 Presidential Records Act unconstitutional; the other an AI-generated clip of Trump’s planne...
The Trump ‘library’ and an attack on the Presidential Records Act have more in common than it might seem Last week, the Trump administration proudly published two pieces of news which, at first sight, could not be more different: one a dry 52-page legal opinion from the justice department declaring the 1978 Presidential Records Act unconstitutional; the other an AI-generated clip of Trump’s planned “presidential library”, a waterfront skyscraper in Miami. Both sent the same message, though: the legal opinion – authored by a jurist heavily involved in attempts to overturn the 2020 election – leaves Trump free to destroy evidence of wrongdoing; the building envisaged for Biscayne Bay appears to be less of a library than a hotel complex. As the president reassured anyone suspecting that he might fill a glitzy edifice with boring papers and books: “ I don’t believe in building libraries or museums .” These are clear signals about wanting to avoid accountability; it is not too early to devise strategies to counter politically motivated amnesia. In what jurists widely saw as an opinion of breathtakingly bad faith, T Elliot Gaiser, the Ohio-based election denier and a former clerk of Samuel Alito, asserted that Congress had no right to ask the president to preserve records; the imperative to create and keep documents served “no legislative purpose” and could “impede” the day-to-day “performance” of the head of the executive. The act had been crafted in the wake of the misdeeds of Richard Nixon, who had wanted discretion over which of his tapes and papers to destroy; in response, Congress first passed the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act in 1974, making the government take custody of Nixon’s materials. Nixon sued; the supreme court rejected the view that the separation of powers had been violated; the justices also took the occasion to affirm the importance of “ the American people’s ability to reconstruct and come to terms with their history ”. Congre...

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., arrives for the House Democrats' caucus meeting in the Capitol on Thursday, Nov. 15, 2018. Bill Clark | CQ-Roll Call Group | Getty Images A group of House Democrats pressed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in a letter sent late Monday on why the agency has not cracked down on bets placed on war and other government actions via offshore prediction markets. The letter to CFTC Chair Michael Selig , obtained first by CNBC, questions the agency's role in regulating prediction markets, which have surged in popularity of late and drawn the ire of a growing number of lawmakers . "Recent high-profile instances of alleged insider trading on prediction market platforms relating to U.S. government actions — including the military's intervention in Venezuela and our recent attack on Iran —have fueled concern that the CFTC does not have adequate control over these fast-growing markets," wrote the group, led by Reps. Jim McGovern and Seth Moulton , both Massachusetts Democrats.

Getty Images Introduction Long-term Bonds and Notes have been an investment victim of the latest military action in the Middle East as inflation fears are rising and there is talk that the next FOMC rate move might not be a cut. With uncertainty as to when and how the current fighting will end and, more importantly, what the price of oil will be, predicting where bond/Note prices will bottom is anyone’s guess (and there are plenty to pick from). That said, if today’s yield is attractive enough, starting a position makes sense, as prices could pop with a sudden end to the hostilities. The two Notes reviewed and compared will be: Kemper Corp 5.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Sub Debentures due 03/15/2062 ( KMPB ) Athene Holding Ltd. Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Debentures due 03/30/2064 ( ATHS ). With the odds KMPB's coupon will climb upon resetting, I am giving this Note a Buy rating based on it being Called and if not, climbing in price as the coupon adjusts upwards beyond the current yield. Understanding each issuer Seeking Alpha describes Kemper Corporation as: Kemper Corporation, an insurance holding company, provides insurance products in the United States. It operates in two segments, Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance, and Life Insurance. The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment primarily offers specialty personal automobile and commercial automobile insurance through independent agents and brokers. The Life Insurance segment primarily provides individual life, accident, supplemental health, and property insurance. The company was formerly known as Unitrin, Inc. and changed its name to Kemper Corporation in August 2011. Kemper Corporation was incorporated in 1990 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Seeking Alpha describes Athene Insurance (edited): Athene Holding Ltd., through its subsidiaries, engages in providing financial services, such as issuing, reinsuring, and acquiring retirement savings products for individuals and institutions i...

gettinthere/iStock via Getty Images Have you ever had a burning question that you wished could be answered by someone with expertise and knowledge? This is a massive benefit of investing groups on Seeking Alpha. It gives you access to analysts and experts from all walks of life who can answer questions often in real time or answer questions you have in short order. Last week, we had a question in Dividend Kings from one of our members about drone warfare and how it will impact the established defense industry within the United States. Warfare is Changing, but Not the Goals It's no secret that the United States, as well as many European countries, has increased its defense spending in the last number of years. Russia's military action in Ukraine brought to light the shortfall of many countries' defense spending. They were wholly unprepared for any sort of military action to occur in the world, let alone so close to the doorstep of Europe and their own countries. The United States has been involved in two wars recently, first in Iraq and then in the 20-year-long military conflict in Afghanistan. While both of these had a high human cost, there wasn't the same prevalence or reliance on drone usage within those military engagements. The United States military used technological superiority, such as night vision and thermal vision, and vehicles on the ground to heavily crush forces that lacked the same equipment. The Taliban was using equipment from the Cold War or the end of World War II; Mosin-Nagant rifles were used as sniper rifles to shoot at American infantrymen . America had control of night warfare because of its technology. A large number of drones, missiles, and bombs were not used throughout the engagement. Iraq was not a strong military force to combat against the United States, either. Both of those military engagements switched quickly from two capable armies fighting against each other into an insurgency where the military was trying to root out resistance...

adventtr/E+ via Getty Images By Jon Vacko, CFA, and Joe Wysocki, CFA The convertible market enters the second quarter navigating a complex investment landscape. Conflict in the Middle East, private equity valuation pressures, and the accelerating disruption that AI is introducing to software and knowledge-based businesses each present their own set of risks. The Middle East conflict has the broadest implications, with the potential to influence the path of inflation, economic growth, and monetary and fiscal policies. Even if current geopolitical tensions subside quickly, fall midterm elections are approaching and carry significant fiscal policy implications. Because convertibles combine attributes of stocks and fixed-income securities, we believe they can continue to provide attractive strategic benefits in an environment characterized by hard-to-predict and rapidly moving geopolitical and macro crosscurrents. However, disciplined monitoring, portfolio flexibility, and active management focused on fundamentals will be essential for navigating this environment. Our overall focus remains on identifying resilient thematic growth trends, bottom-up company selection, and active rebalancing of security-specific risk/reward tradeoffs across the portfolio. We maintain our preference for convertible structures that provide favorable asymmetric payoff profiles - that is, offering attractive levels of upside equity participation with less exposure to downside moves. We continue to emphasize companies with improving margins and free cash flow, accelerating returns on invested capital, and attractive equity valuations. Information technology and industrials are CICVX’s two largest sector allocations and represent the fund’s most significant relative overweights. Within these sectors, we are investing in companies at the forefront of AI data center construction and power delivery, as well as the connectivity infrastructure that supports them. This is a structural, multiyear inves...
