DAYTONA BEACH, FL ?- A man who won a lottery prize is now considered a thief by police officers in Daytona Beach.

Investigators say the lottery winner just couldn't get his cash fast enough.

The clerk gave the robber a nickel when the robber asked for a coin so he can scratch the lottery ticket, according to officials.

A clerk at a convenience store says when she opened her cash drawer to pay out the man's winning ticket, he helped himself by grabbing more money.

"When the clerk got ready to cash him out, she opened the cash drawer, he struggled with her and he reached in and grabbed less than 50 dollars and ran out of the store," said Daytona Beach Police spokesman Jimmie Flynt.

Surveillance video from inside the store captured the incident. A fairly clear shot of the man's face was released. Detectives hope the public will help find the man.

The robber is described as a white man in his 40s with a stocky build and reddish blond hair. He was last seen wearing a Columbia white fishing-type shirt with a University of Miami logo, a gold watch, blue jeans and dark shoes.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Sgt. Mark Eisner 386-671-5203.

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
