Trump’s hush-money sentencing will still happen in September despite his new immunity superpowers, New York legal experts predict

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

"No harm, no foul" isn't just for streetball. It could help former President Donald Trump's hush-money conviction survive the US Supreme Court immunity opinion.Thanks to a legal doctrine called "harmless error," Trump's September 18 sentencing is virtually guaranteed to proceed as planned, former New York judges and prosecutors predicted in conversations with Business Insider.And no amount of jumping up and down and screaming "SCOTUS" can stop it, they said.That's because even if Trump's trial judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, finds that presidential immunity retroactively invalidates some evidence used at trial, he'll likely also find that this amounts…

The Words That Give Away Generative AI Text

Thus far, even AI companies have had trouble coming up with tools that can reliably detect when a piece of writing was generated using a large language model. Now, a group of researchers has established a novel method for estimating LLM usage across a large set of scientific writing by measuring which "excess words" started showing up much more frequently during the LLM era (i.e., 2023 and 2024). The results "suggest that at least 10 percent of 2024 abstracts were processed with LLMs," according to the researchers.In a preprint paper posted earlier this month, four researchers from Germany's University of…

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Gazans are growing increasingly critical of Hamas as Israel's deadly military campaign in the Gaza Strip continues.Public criticism of Hamas — which took full control of Gaza in 2007 after ousting its rival political party, Fatah — had been relatively rare before the Gaza war.Many Gazans also cheered the events of October 7 at the time, with people taking to the streets to celebrate what they saw as their occupier's humiliation.But while those attacks on Israel, which killed around 1,200 people, increased Hamas' popularity in both Gaza and the West Bank, the majority of residents in both territories do not…

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Here's some less-than-great news if you're looking to job-hop because of your pay: People changing roles likely won't be getting as big of a wage bump as past job switchers."If you'd have done the same thing a year ago or 18 months ago, you'd have probably got double the pay rise you're going to get today," David Tinsley, senior economist at the Bank of America Institute, told Business Insider.A new Bank of America Institute report found the median pay gain for those switching jobs was around 20% during the Great Resignation in 2021 and 2022, based on the bank's internal…

Hotels and offices are using an AI tool that scans what they throw in the trash to reduce their food waste and cut costs

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Hotels are reducing how much food they waste at their breakfast buffets by installing AI-powered cameras above their kitchen trash cans.British company Winnow's hardware involves a scale that kitchens place a trash can on, as well as a screen with a motion-sensor camera. Its AI scans the items after they're placed in the trash — it can identify whether that was a bowl of carrot peelings, excess guacamole, or uneaten mashed potato — and the scale then records how much of that item was thrown away.Chefs and restaurant managers can see this data in real time. Winnow's hardware involves a…
