GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Kasen Spencer, a 15-year-old student at Cedaredge High School, had dreams of using his passion for mixed martial arts to train for the Marines, following in his father’s footsteps.

Unfortunately, on May 3rd, Kasen asked to attend a Delta Cinco de Mayo celebration with a close family friend and others. Prior to the celebration, the group stopped at a friend’s house, where Kasen was shot in the back of the head. Shockingly, he survived.

One juvenile has been charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and false reporting, while others have been charged with the misdemeanor of false reporting. However, his parents fear that the charges filed in their son’s case may not be severe enough to serve justice.

Zuckerberg disses closed-source AI competitors as trying to 'create God'
Riffing on what he sees ahead for the future of AI, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview published Thursday that he deeply believes that there will not be "just one AI." Touting the value of open source to put AI tools into many people's hands, Zuckerberg took a moment to disparage the efforts of unnamed competitors who he sees as less than open, adding that they seem to think they're "creating God." "It's almost as if they kind of think they're creating God or something and … it's just — that's not what we're doing," he said.

FCC rule would make carriers unlock all phones after 60 days
The FCC wants to make it significantly easier for consumers to unlock their phones from their carriers, proposing that all devices must be unlockable just 60 days after purchase. Mobile phones purchased from a carrier are generally locked to that carrier until either the contract is up or the phone is paid off. To be clear, this is not about opening up your phone using a face, fingerprint or password, but changing settings in its software to allow it to work with different mobile networks.
