BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — A person was killed and a deputy was shot after a shooting in part of Raleigh County.

According to a post on the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office, members of the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Bolt area of Raleigh County at around 9:00 a.m. on Friday, November 29, 2024 due to reports of a potentially mentally disturbed person with a gun.

Once the members of the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene, the person fired and shot a Deputy, who was later taken and treated for non-life threatening injuries at a local hospital. The person was shot and killed after a member of the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office returned fire during the incident.

The Pentagon says AI is speeding up its 'kill chain'
Leading AI developers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, are threading a delicate needle to sell software to the United States military: make the Pentagon more efficient, without letting their AI kill people. Today, their tools are not being used as weapons, but AI is giving the Department of Defense a "significant advantage” in identifying, tracking, and assessing threats, the Pentagon's Chief Digital and AI Officer, Dr. Radha Plumb, told TechCrunch in a phone interview. “We obviously are increasing the ways in which we can speed up the execution of kill chain so that our commanders can respond in the right time to protect our forces,” said Plumb.

AI benchmarking organization criticized for waiting to disclose funding from OpenAI
An organization developing math benchmarks for AI didn't disclose that it had received funding from OpenAI until relatively recently, drawing allegations of impropriety from some in the AI community. Epoch AI, a nonprofit primarily funded by Open Philanthropy, a research and grantmaking foundation, revealed on December 20 that OpenAI had supported the creation of FrontierMath. In a post on the forum LessWrong, a contractor for Epoch AI going by the username "Meemi" says that many contributors to the FrontierMath benchmark weren't informed of OpenAI's involvement until it was made public.
