High-powered guests including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft are arriving at Rupert Murdoch's wedding to biologist Elena Zhukova.

The media mogul, 92, and Zhukova, 62, are thought to be holding their wedding ceremony at the vineyard of his imposing Bel Air estate, Moraga.

After his six year marriage to Jerry Hall, which lasted from 2016 to 2022, Saturday's nuptials will be Murdoch's fifth marriage.

Kraft arrived with his wife Dana Blumberg and posed for an impromptu couple's snap by the side of an access road after giving their car to valets.

Murdoch, whose fortune is about $20 billion, met Zhukova through his third wife, Wendi Deng.

Murdoch and Zhukova seem to be opting for a more intimate ceremony on the vineyard at Moraga, where the tycoon intends to spend his time and enjoy his retirement.

After Murdoch announced the surprising news that he would be stepping down as the chairman of Fox. Corp. and News Corp, DailyMail.com confirmed that he would be focusing most of his time on making world-class wines at his vineyard.

'He wants Moraga to be a big part of his legacy,' a Murdoch insider tells DailyMail.com. 'He sees it as his responsibility to make sure the property has a secure future and that more people get to know the wine.'

'He wanted to step down while he knew he had time and enough energy to focus on other things, especially Moraga,' the source added.

Murdoch purchased the unique estate in August 2013 via his Moraga Canyon Vineyards LLC from former Northrop Grumman CEO Tom Jones after seeing it listed for sale in the mansions section of the Wall Street Journal, part of the media stable he ran.

Democrats wanted an agreement on using artificial intelligence. It went nowhere

https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-ai-dnc-campaign-2024-republicans-7c6b78b6a8ded9ad253be9ef491e0284

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic National Committee was watching earlier this year as campaigns nationwide were experimenting with artificial intelligence. So the organization approached a handful of influential party campaign committees with a request: Sign onto guidelines that would commit them to use the technology in a “responsible” way.

The draft agreement, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, was hardly full of revolutionary ideas. It asked campaigns to check work by AI tools, protect against biases and avoid using AI to create misleading content.

“Our goal is to use this new technology both effectively and ethically, and in a way that advances – rather than undermines – the values that we espouse in our campaigns,” the draft said.

The plan went nowhere.

Instead of fostering an agreement, the guidelines sparked a debate about the value of such pledges, particularly those governing fast-evolving technology. Among the concerns expressed by the Democratic campaign organizations: Such a pledge might hamstring their ability to deploy AI and could turn off donors with ties to the AI industry. Some committee officials were also irked that the DNC gave them only a few days to agree to the guidelines.

The proposal’s demise highlighted internal divisions over campaign tactics and the party’s uncertainty over how to best utilize AI amid warnings from experts that the technology is supercharging the proliferation of disinformation.

Hannah Muldavin, a senior spokesperson at the Democratic National Committee, said the group is not giving up on finding a consensus. The DNC, she said, “will continue to engage with our sister committees to discuss ideas and issues important to Democratic campaigns and to American voters, including AI.”

“It’s not uncommon for ideas and plans to shift, especially in the midst of a busy election year, and any documents on this subject reflect early and ongoing conversations,” Muldavin said, adding the “DNC and our partners take seriously the opportunities and challenges presented by AI.” The wrangling comes as campaigns have increasingly deployed artificial intelligence — computer systems, software or processes that emulate aspects of human work and cognition — to optimize workloads. That includes using large language models to write fundraising emails, text supporters and build chatbots to answer voters’ questions.

That trend is expected to continue as November’s general election approaches, with campaigns turning to supercharged generative AI tools to create text and images, as well as clone human voices and create video at lightning speeds.

Stealthy stowaways Turkish migrants are flocking to San Diego’s border with the help of smugglers on social media

https://nypost.com/2024/06/02/us-news/turkish-migrants-flocking-to-san-diego-via-social-media-smugglers

The number of Turkish migrants crossing the southern border illegally has skyrocketed under the Biden administration, invited by smugglers who sell and organize crossings on social media boasting about how easy it is, The Post can reveal.

There were roughly 1,400 Turkish migrants encountered by border agents along the US-Mexico border in fiscal year 2021, which exploded to more than 15,000 each in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, according to federal data.

Most of the Turkish border crossers who came last year crossed into the San Diego border region — which earlier this year became the busiest entry point in the nation for migrants entering the US illegally.

Translated Turkish language Telegram channels reviewed by The Post provide detailed accounts of the help these migrants receive to make their journeys to the US.

The smugglers’ advertise a route to Tijuana, Mexico, via Cancun, offering secure flights and travel across the border, encouraging migrants to not “delay your dreams.”The group also includes photos and videos as proof that smugglers are successful in getting migrants through Mexico and onto the US.

“Our passenger had passed in Cancunda [sic] without any problem. If anyone wants to go, contact me,” one post reads. Videos on the Telegram channels seen by The Post show the migrants successfully arriving to Cancun, where some can be seen vacationing at hotels and showing off their stamped passports.

There are also videos posted by what appear to be smugglers guiding migrants along a path leading them to the California border from Tijuana.

Migrants can also be seen in a tent encampment along the border in California, where large groups have amassed to wait for overwhelmed Border Patrol agents to pick them up and process them. Messages in the groups also reveal there is concern from migrants hoping to come to the US about the upcoming presidential election in November and over the state of Texas’ strict border crackdown.

Sick discovery 10,000 human remains found on serial killer’s farm — and authorities are still identifying victims

https://nypost.com/2024/06/02/us-news/serial-killer-herb-baumeisters-farm-had-10000-human-remains

For years, a peaceful million-dollar farm in Indiana hid a dark secret — it was a serial killer’s playground.

When cops finally raided Herb Baumeister’s 18-acre property in Westfield, north of Indianapolis, they uncovered some 10,000 pieces of human remains — mostly crushed and burned skeletal fragments of the teenage boys and young men whom he had abducted and murdered in the 1980s and 90s.

>Nearly 30 years after Baumeister killed himself while on the run from police, authorities are still sifting through the remains and identifying victims.

The Hamilton County Coroner announced last month that human remains recovered from Herb Baumeister’s Fox Hollow Farm in 1996 were positively identified as belonging to Jeffrey A. Jones, who went missing in 1993.

Jones is the third victim to be identified in recent months.

There are an additional four DNA profiles found at Baumeister’s property that have not been identified, bringing the total number of his victims to 12, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison said.

“Because many of the remains were found burnt and crushed, this investigation is extremely challenging; however, the team of law enforcement and forensic specialists working the case remain committed,” Jellison said.

Baumeister, a businessman and married father of three, hunted gay teens and men in central Indiana beginning in at least 1980. He’s believed to have killed at least 25 people, Fox News Digital reported.

He reportedly used the fake name “Brian Smart” and targeted young gay men he met at bars. Baumeister, who moved into the farmstead with his family in 1988, used its sprawling yard and adjacent trail to hide thousands of decomposed remains until his teenage son discovered a human skull and brought it to his mother.

His wife, who initially blocked law enforcement from searching their property, later divorced her husband as more evidence began to pile up against him. The Hamilton County coroner’s office along with the FBI, Indiana State Police Laboratory, Dr. Krista Latham of the Biology & Anthropology Department at the University of Indianapolis and DNA experts from Texas-based Othram Lab, are all working to identify the additional remains.
