Alec Baldwin hit with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico movie set

Actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins.

The armorer on the film, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was also charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

On October 21, 2021, Baldwin fired a prop gun on the “Rust” film set outside of Santa Fe killing Hutchins, the cinematographer.

New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced the charges, 15 months after the shooting.

The district attorney explained that Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were “charged in the alternative”, meaning that a jury will decide if the two are guilty as well as which definition of involuntary manslaughter their actions fall under.

The assistant director on the film, Dave Halls, signed a plea agreement for a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon.

The district attorney announced the terms of his agreement included a suspended sentence and six months of probation.

After the charges were announced, Hutchins’ family thanked the sheriff’s office and the DA.

In a statement, Baldwin’s attorney called the charges a “terrible miscarriage of justice” and said they will fight the charges.

If Baldwin is convicted, he could face up to 18 months in prison.

As employees recover from the height of the pandemic, the Great Resignation has come to light

 
The pandemic saw the term ‘the great resignation’ coined as thousands of people resigned from their jobs across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.

Karin Reed, the author of ‘Suddenly Hybrid said the great resignation was a period of employees taking control of their future.

“A lot of people realised in their current environment they were not happy with what they were doing with their job. They chose to vote with their feet and go elsewhere,

In other parts of the world, a spike in resignations was not reported.

However, a higher degree of workers began reporting post-Covid burnout, as they made a return to the office.

“There’s been a blurring of the lines. You have work that’s not confined by a physical space.

“Instead of closing the computer and walk away, our computer is in the next room.”

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!

The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.

 
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.

Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.

The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.

Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.

UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.

According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
