Yellen, speaking to reporters in Mesa, Arizona, described such assertions as “rumors.” While acknowledging the yen’s notable movement, she emphasized the expectation for interventions to be infrequent and conducted through consultation.

Jeff Gunter, a former Trump administration official and current Senate candidate in Nevada’s competitive GOP primary race, has launched an initiative to address the crisis at the southern border. Dubbed “Build the Wall, Deport Them All,” Gunter’s stand mirrors many of Trump’s border policies, including continuing wall construction and collaborating with local businesses to identify illegal immigrants impacting their operations. The initiative also includes a tip line for reporting suspicious activity.

Archaeologists in eastern China have uncovered a remarkable 2,200-year-old tomb believed to potentially belong to an emperor of the Chu state, a significant figure during a pivotal period in Chinese history. The Chu state was part of the seven Warring States, whose eventual unification marked the beginning of modern China. The tomb was discovered at the Wuwangdun archaeological site, where previous excavations revealed a vast cemetery encompassing chariots, sacrifice pits, and another tomb presumed to belong to the cemetery’s owner. The newly unearthed artifacts, including bronze vessels, musical instruments, and lacquerware, date back to around 220 BC.

A powerful solar flare caused widespread radio disruptions across the Pacific region this week, with the eruption lasting for 12 minutes on April 30. Near X-class solar flares, the most potent type, were released during this event. Solar flares occur when magnetic fields in and around the Sun reconnect, releasing built-up magnetic energy. These flares are classified by their strength, ranging from X-class to M-class, then C-class, and finally B-class. The April 30 flare, measured at M9.53, just fell short of being classified as an X-class flare. It affected the Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing disruptions in radio signals for approximately 30 minutes. The flare originated from sunspot region AR3654, marking the most powerful eruption from this area to date, NDTV reported. read more: https://www.ndtv.com/science/sun-unleashes-extremely-powerful-solar-flare-pacific-region-hit-5571435 Links for B.C.

This scenario, familiar to many in the field, highlighted the pressures of the AI industry. Engineers across Big Tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, described the intense pace and constant pivots in projects, driven by the fear of falling behind competitors in what Nvidia’s CEO likened to the “iPhone moment” for AI.

Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors across the United States are increasingly utilizing a little-known artificial intelligence tool called Cybercheck to aid in the investigation, charging, and conviction of suspects involved in serious crimes like murder and human trafficking. However, as its usage expands, defense attorneys have raised concerns about its reliability and transparency. The software, developed by Adam Mosher, claims to leverage machine learning to gather publicly available information from the internet, assisting in identifying suspects and their whereabouts. Despite assertions of over 90% accuracy and efficiency, questions persist about the software’s methodology and independent verification. In some cases, judges have barred its evidence due to lack of reliability or refusal to disclose its workings, NBC News reported. read more: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/ai-tool-used-thousands-criminal-cases-facing-legal-challenges-rcna149607 Links for B.C.

Luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari has introduced two new models, the 12Cilindri and the 12Cilindri Spider, targeting enthusiasts of high-performance petrol engines. Unveiled at an event in Miami, these models signify Ferrari’s initial releases of the year, following five launches in 2023, as the company continues its strategy of introducing new models to engage its affluent clientele. Despite the industry’s push towards electrification, Ferrari remains committed to producing traditional internal combustion engine cars (ICE), buoyed by exemptions for vehicles using e-fuels from the European Union’s planned phase-out of ICE vehicles. The 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider draw inspiration from Ferrari’s classic GT models of the past and feature the iconic 12-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 830 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 340 kilometers per hour. Priced at 395,000 euros and 435,000 euros respectively, these models are positioned at the medium-high end of Ferrari’s price range.

Scott Sheffield, the founder and former CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, allegedly attempted to collude with OPEC and its allies to manipulate oil prices, according to federal regulators. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claimed that Sheffield exchanged numerous text messages with OPEC officials, discussing pricing, production, and oil market dynamics. These communications aimed to coordinate oil production in the Permian Basin with OPEC and OPEC+ countries, in violation of the free market principles governing US oil production. Sheffield retired from Pioneer in December 2023, but the FTC’s approval of Pioneer’s sale to ExxonMobil for $60 billion included provisions preventing Sheffield from involvement with Exxon, CNN reported. read more: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/02/energy/oil-ceo-opec-scott-sheffield/index.html Links for B.C.

BF Borgers, the independent accounting firm for Trump Media & Technology Group, faced charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for widespread fraud and operating a “sham audit mill.” The SEC accused the firm of deliberate and systemic failures, including fabricating audit documentation and falsely representing compliance with accounting standards. The fraud, occurring between January 2021 and June 2023, affected over 1,500 SEC filings and 500 public companies. As a penalty, BF Borgers was permanently suspended from practicing as accountants before the SEC, and its owner agreed to pay $14 million in fines. Trump Media, although not implicated in the charges, announced plans to seek new auditing partners. The firm served as Trump Media’s accounting firm before the company went public. Despite its high-profile status, Trump Media was one of 350 clients of BF Borgers under SEC rules, CNN has reported. read more: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/business/trump-media-accounting-firm-charged-fraud/index.html Links for B.C.

The latest report from the Labor Department revealed that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in April, slightly below economists’ expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 3.9 percent. This comes after the Federal Reserve decided to maintain interest rates amid concerns over inflation and economic indicators. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the need for caution in considering rate cuts due to lingering inflationary pressures. President Biden, facing criticism over economic performance and inflation, could benefit from the positive job gains, but the slower growth may provide the Fed with more flexibility to address economic concerns. High interest rates have increased borrowing costs for Americans, contributing to rising household debt and delinquency rates. Biden’s handling of the economy and inflation is receiving low approval ratings, with former President Trump seen as a more favorable candidate on economic issues, The Hill reported. read more: https://thehill.com/business/4639861-u-s-economy-adds-175k-jobs-in-april/ Links for B.C.
