RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Wyatt Fluty is sentenced after making a plea deal with the state for shooting at a highway patrol trooper during last year’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

The incident happened across the street from the Big D gas station. Fluty was asked to stop by a highway patrol trooper, and he began to shoot at the trooper. A Minnesota Deputy who was on vacation in Sturgis jumped in to assist in the situation. Fluty was shot but was given first aid once he was contained.
Fluty is sentenced to 50 years in prison for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and an additional five years to be served consecutively for the commission of a felony while armed with a firearm.

Fluty has to serve at least 75 percent of his 50-year sentence before he is eligible for parole.

Wyoming Education Department Issues Guidance on AI

(TNS) — The Wyoming Education Department is embracing artificial intelligence.
Local school districts must still create their own artificial intelligence policies, but the state is encouraging districts to find ways to embrace AI in the classroom and teach students how to use it ethically.
“The WDE is committed to leading the state in AI education and preparing the next generation of learners and leaders for a future that is built with, and alongside AI,” reads the guidance resource put out by the state.
The guidance states that artificial intelligence may be able to free up teachers for more instructional time and more innovation.
The manual outlines clear definitions of artificial intelligence, including “Generative AI is permeated with flaws such as algorithmic bias that must be considered when utilized. Generative AI is not a source of unquestionable, factual information.”
The department recommends that AI policies be cyclical and developed as needed.
Using AI tools ethically and responsibly to help students achieve educational goals, promoting AI literacy and maintaining human decision-making when using AI are some of the guiding principles the department says that districts should use when writing policies.
As part of the guidance manual, the department includes a continuum of AI usage to guide schools on how to integrate AI. The categories for AI usage are AI-free, AI-assisted, AI-enhanced and AI-empowered.
Each category has increasing usage of artificial intelligence. When working on an AI-free assignment, work must be completed without artificial intelligence in any capacity. The use of artificial intelligence on these projects would be a violation of academic integrity.
The AI-empowered category is for full integration of AI to create products that were not previously possible. Students are still responsible for oversight, accuracy and fairness.
The guidance also tells districts that they may need to adjust already existing policies to keep up with artificial intelligence.

Wyoming’s new Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Act (DUNA) allows the formation of US-based nonprofit organizations suitable for the multibillion-dollar mergers of blockchains that are currently taking place in Asia, such as Kaia with an Abu Dhabi foundation or the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance in Singapore.
The law, effective July 1, is also written to give blockchains using its structure an regulatory advantage under US law. In theory, DUNA would make Wyoming the best place for blockchains with (or desiring) a US footprint to legally locate their governance.
However, the current state of federal regulation of decentralized finance and digital assets means that …
