Vermont has become the first state to enact a law requiring fossil fuel companies to pay a share of the damage caused by climate change after the state suffered catastrophic summer flooding and damage from other extreme weather.

Republican Gov. Phil Scott allowed the bill to become law without his signature late Thursday, saying he is very concerned about the costs and outcome of the small state taking on “Big Oil” alone in what will likely be a grueling legal fight. But he acknowledged that he understands something has to be done to address the toll of climate change.

“I understand the desire to seek funding to mitigate the effects of climate change that has hurt our state in so many ways,” Scott, a moderate Republican in the largely blue state of Vermont, wrote in a letter to lawmakers.

The popular governor who recently announced that he’s running for reelection to a fifth two-year term, has been at odds with the Democrat-controlled Legislature, which he has called out of balance. He was expected by environmental advocates to veto the bill but then allowed it to be enacted. Scott wrote to lawmakers that he was comforted that the Agency of Natural Resources is required to report back to the Legislature on the feasibility of the effort.

Last July’s flooding from torrential rains inundated Vermont’s capital city of Montpelier, the nearby city Barre, some southern Vermont communities and ripped through homes and washed away roads around the rural state. Some saw it as the state’s worst natural disaster since a 1927 flood that killed dozens of people and caused widespread destruction. It took months for businesses — from restaurants to shops — to rebuild, losing out on their summer and even fall seasons. Several have just recently reopened while scores of homeowners were left with flood-ravaged homes heading into the cold season.

Under the legislation, the Vermont state treasurer, in consultation with the Agency of Natural Resources, would provide a report by Jan. 15, 2026, on the total cost to Vermonters and the state from the emission of greenhouse gases from Jan. 1, 1995, to Dec. 31, 2024. The assessment would look at the effects on public health, natural resources, agriculture, economic development, housing and other areas. The state would use federal data to determine the amount of covered greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a fossil fuel company.

It’s a polluter-pays model affecting companies engaged in the trade or business of extracting fossil fuel or refining crude oil attributable to more than 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions during the time period. The funds could be used by the state for such things as upgrading stormwater drainage systems; upgrading roads, bridges and railroads; relocating, elevating or retrofitting sewage treatment plants; and making energy efficient weatherization upgrades to public and private buildings. It’s modeled after the federal Superfund pollution cleanup program.

“For too long, giant fossil fuel companies have knowingly lit the match of climate disruption without being required to do a thing to put out the fire,” Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said in a statement. “Finally, maybe for the first time anywhere, Vermont is going to hold the companies most responsible for climate-driven floods, fires and heat waves financially accountable for a fair share of the damages they’ve caused.”

Maryland, Massachusetts and New York are considering similar measures.

The American Petroleum Institute, the top lobbying group for the oil and gas industry, has said it’s extremely concerned the legislation “retroactively imposes costs and liability on prior activities that were legal, violates equal protection and due process rights by holding companies responsible for the actions of society at large; and is preempted by federal law.”

“This punitive new fee represents yet another step in a coordinated campaign to undermine America’s energy advantage and the economic and national security benefits it provides,” spokesman Scott Lauermann said in a statement Friday.

Vermont lawmakers know the state will face legal challenges, but the governor worries about the costs and what it means for other states if Vermont fails.

State Rep. Martin LaLonde, a Democrat and an attorney, believes Vermont has a solid legal case. Legislators worked closely with many legal scholars in crafting the bill, he said in statement.

“Most importantly, the stakes are too high – and the costs too steep for Vermonters – to release corporations that caused the mess from their obligation to help clean it up,” he said.

What's the deal with North Carolina and Georgia?

So we have our first weird quirk of this presidential election - North Carolina seemingly polling much less favorably for former President Trump than Georgia, even though he won NC and lost GA in 2020. Indeed, my polling average has Mr. Trump leading by over two points in the Peach State but only half a point in the Tar Heel State, so today I wanted to analyze the phenomenon more closely and come up with a few different factors that might be contributing to this.

First, let's go over the one that Republicans will want to talk about and Democrats fear, polling error. In 2020, President Biden led polls in North Carolina by a point more than he did in Georgia, yet lost the former by about 1.5% while winning the latter narrowly. Clearly, this is the same situation and a harbinger of a red wave, right?

Calm down there. First, yes, state-level polls produce outcomes like this from time to time, but it defies logic to assume that pollsters didn't attempt to correct for their genuinely disastrous misses in 2020. Second, there are more undecided voters in North Carolina, which could certainly cause the gap to close as we trudge towards November. Finally, even if we ignore those first two factors, the current polling gap between the two Southeast states is bigger than 2020's - so any polling error must not be the only factor.

This brings us to a possibility that liberals would prefer - the post-Dobbs coalition applying to its first presidential election. For those who haven't seen me use this term before, this describes the depolarization of party coalitions along racial lines in favor of increased polarization along religiosity lines - a phenomenon we started to see in 2020 but really took hold and accelerated in 2022. If it accelerates this year, it would be a boon for Democrats along the Rust Belt and in more secular Sun Belt states like Arizona and Nevada. Certainly, there's some compelling evidence that these demographic shits might be a factor or even the primary driver of the disparity - for one thing, at the state government level, North Carolina actually voted to the left of Georgia on average last cycle! Part of this is the across-the-aisle appeal that Governor Kemp and Secretary Raffensperger have proven to have, but it was still somewhat of a surprise to see that outcome in practice during the midterms. Georgia also had 6% more black voters compared to North Carolina (relative to overall turnout), so the racial depolarization aspect of this equation makes sense here, and we're seeing the strong polling along the Blue Wall for Vice President Harris that would match our hypothesis.

That said, I have a couple of problems with this theory. First, North Carolina actually has more evangelicals in its voter pool than Georgia, so religious polarization should be a problem for Tar Heel Democrats. Second, we're not seeing big polling surprises in Florida, which is more secular but is still a Southeast state, is extremely racially diverse, and just came off an R+20 election in 2022.

Finally, let's look at the boring option, a different pool of pollsters in Georgia vs. North Carolina. It's August, so we aren't going to see a glut of data yet (which is reflected in my model). So let's just do an apples-to-apples comparison of polls from both states around the same time and by the same pollsters, based on which had more favorable margins for Ms. Harris:

GA +2 (Morning Consult, late July)

GA +1 (Redfield & Wilton, late July)

NC +1 (BSG/GS Strategy Group, late July)

NC +6 (NYT/Siena Group, mid-August)

GA +2 (Redfield & Wilton, mid-August)

That's a much slimmer difference in North Carolina's favor on average, and really driven by one massive outlier poll (by the New York Times, but still!) It looks very likely that we're dealing with selection bias at the moment.

So in conclusion, the North Carolina rating being to the left of Georgia is probably a nothingburger driven by small sample sizes, but watch to see more signs of the post-Dobbs coalition going forward - it could make the 2024 map look weird.

No. 3 – “I warned you.“

07/29/2018

Their call to the building downtown that the Brotherhood had so cynically renamed a communication bridge was failed to answer for so long that Ororo was already busy in mind, coming up with the necessary mission preparations.

It would be messy, lossy and shatter whatever arduous restraint her team had held on to ever since their enemies had taken over one of the USA's most beloved historical metropolis locations, declaring open war on humanity that the latter still had no means to even answer to as of yet. There was a good chance that, if they would enter their jet in a minute to approach the besieged city and counter their foes' latest strike, that they would put their own signature under that blood red document of looming global destruction at last, any attempts and hopeless plans of negotiating for a peaceful solution that simply did not exist vaporized.

Ororo didn’t need to consult with the X-Men's leader first to know what the latter would have had to say to such an impulsive, highly risky move – and yet if she ever wanted the chance for such a just as tiring as beloved tradition of endless lectures from one of her oldest friends again, there was no doubt, she'd be suiting up in probably 10 minutes tops, calling whoever in this house was trained enough to face a whole city of hostiles and an impenetrable shield surrounding it, for a desperate rescue mission part of her knew perfectly well would never have been approved of if by the one person it was necessary to go on it for.

Accordingly big was the relief, fighting a hefty battle with immediately building wrath inside her soul when she'd just gotten her ass off that control room chair, the first order necessary on her lips, and suddenly startled from a flash of lightning stinging in her pupils as the main monitor right before her flashed to life, the sought connection to the New York Brotherhood base finally established, revealing the exceedingly smug expression on a very familiar blue and red scaled face.

"You got something that belongs to us, Darkholme?"

"So do you," Mystique reminded her harshly, confirming the X-Men's worst suspicions about why their leader had been taken into captivity at that damn mutant talent show he'd originally been invited to as a guest in. Well, so much for that. "Care to trade?"

"You really want to turn this into another war?" Ororo asked with numb lips, her hand a helpless, trembling fist by her side, the other - invisibly for the monitor camera - clawing down on the muscular leg of the woman sitting right next to her whom she could see even from the corner of her eyes had turned even another shade paler yet than at the live transmission from that show on TV earlier. Namely, when the abrupt stage exit of one of mutant world's most famous and the sudden silence in the mental link between said woman by her side and the X-Men's leader almost at the same moment had confirmed all mistrust and anxiety beforehand about this so-called peace offer.

"Funny how you always ask that whenever you launch an attack on us." Mystique leaned back in her chair unfazed, reaching for something outside the monitor lens on her side, upon which surveillance material from a certain bloody air strike on the other side of the world this afternoon flickered over another screen right behind the one showing her snarl. "I warned you. Loud and clear. I was even nice enough to give you a chance to delete the data you stole from us and reveal to me whatever you think you've read from it. Instead, you fuck around in our outpost in Egypt and insult my intelligence by thinking we won't even notice. Consider this your second and last ultimatum. Either you people will tell me what I want to know or I have to find out how much it takes to make that stuck up Boy Scout of yours talk."

"And what about Dazzler? You trying to host American Mutant Idol or something?" Ororo's thoughts were racing, that knot in her stomach growing when she realized there was nothing she could change about the dire situation, not right now, and not even only because Scott would never have let her hear the end of it if she started goddamn World War III over a few possible days of imprisonment of one of theirs. Especially when it was him.

"I’m pretty sure you know, one of you can’t answer that. As I said, I am not hot on intruders in my living room." For some reason, Mystique's yellow and brown eyes narrowed towards the visitor chair in the control room that was occupied with someone not even on the permanent team … A young man of whom Ororo suddenly had a pretty good idea why he had stuck around today against his usual habits of vanishing right after action.

Mystique knew damn well who had stolen this very data so important to her back then that she had just pulverized the truce between her people and the X-Men over once more an hour ago. This time, Stu, wouldn’t be able to sneak into the city unseen thanks to his mixed mutant and human genes, at least not if he didn’t want to risk the life of Mystique's two prisoners … one of whom Ororo had suspected for a while now was far closer to Peter Parker's secret son than he'd ever let on.

"Care to let us in, Parker?" she asked with whatever patience she could still come up with once the com connection had been rudely cut by her conversation partner without as much as another threat that wasn’t necessary.

They all knew in how much danger beloved friends and family members were right now, and there was a good chance that very situation could have been avoided if there wasn’t so much goddamn secrecy existing between people who'd actually been friends for decades. Addressing that was obviously her job right now as it was pretty obvious, from the way Logan's claws were only barely not ripping some keyboard to pieces and Katja next to Ororo was still stock still and dead silent, that her team members were worlds from the emotional distance necessary to think about how to free their missing loved ones as quickly as possible.

Ororo had rarely loathed this unloved role of a leading position she'd never seen herself in outside of emergencies more than tonight.

Stu promptly ducked his head and began to tug on the edge of his mask on his neck as if he suddenly had trouble breathing under the tight latex. "Mom didn’t want anyone to know. Peter and her … That was some drunk one-time thing back then. I don’t think either of them is proud of it."

"Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me." At least Logan finally found his tongue again, stopping in his rude movement to shoo Katja off her ass finally, with his thoughts probably already halfway on the way to the hangar yet before they'd even decided if that was the direction they would turn into in a minute.

Ororo was almost glad that the unexpected news distracted Logan from that ill thought through endeavor for a second, the hint of a grin curling under his thick beard as, with something between amusement and alienation , he eyed the young man next to him from head to toe. Someone who'd long started to be part of his family but had kept a lot of secrets from him, too, obviously. "So sparkly Taylor Swift really is your mother, huh? Your dad has some weird-ass taste, Spiderhead."

"Says the guy who married Phoenix," Stu answered, absent as if his thoughts, too, were in a whole different dimension, apparently trying to digest the news of Alison's kidnapping himself, and to decide how to not make things worse, again. At least this time. Ororo guessed that could be called progress or something.

Far enough gone to not wince when a casual adamantium claw tapped his kneecap, a warning growl from Logan's lips following, Stu wasn’t though.

"You wanna keep dating my daughter, Glitter Webs?"

"Shutting up, shutting up." The boy ducked his head visibly contrite and hurried to the other side of the room to silently wait for instructions.

"Where do you think you're going, Logan?"

Only when her teammate turned toward the door again, patting down his shirt for a cigar or a drink or both in a well-oiled pre mission routine, Ororo had to raise her voice a little, reaching out to her side once again when she saw Katja wince next to her, a firm, warning grip around a slender elbow making sure she wouldn’t have to stop two people at once from doing something immensely stupid.

"Let's just say I kinda stopped caring for taking orders from terrorists, Windrider."

Hardly even taking the warning nuance in her tone seriously, Logan only stopped with an unnerved look back over his shoulder when a strong gust of wind around his fist stopped his zippo from lighting his cigar. "Really?"

"I don't care what you care for. This isn’t about you."

A routine gesture back to the keyboard behind Ororo sufficed to seal the electronic door locks before her impulsive teammate could just storm off with a dismissive snort, an unimpressed brow wandering up her forehead when the well-known snikt sound of Logan's wavering self-restraint sounded through the control center next.

"What, want to try cut your way out? Be my guest. Thinking about it, that electrocution might be a good warm up for whatever you think you'll be doing once you stand outside the Field, trying to get in without anyone noticing, getting the people you're trying to save killed right before the eyes of their loved ones."

"I'll think of something when we get there," Logan growled, not retreating his claws even for an inch …

At least not until one of the people they were talking over here as if they weren’t in the room suddenly rose, and Ororo saw Logan falling silent all voluntarily in a way it hadn’t often happened since she knew him.

"You're not gonna do shit, Claws."

Ororo couldn’t shake a certain shiver creeping down her spine herself, and contrary to her darkest fears, it wasn’t anxiety over having to try to hurt a friend to protect them and their captive husband from her own temper, or a hint of worry about possible destruction from Katja's established and new-found powers raining down on this house in a bout of loss of control as it hadn’t happened for years.

Indeed, thinking about it, Ororo hadn’t even seen up the status signal from one of the conductors on the roof flashing red even once, ever since they'd had to watch on TV as one of their own had once more fallen into the hands of the enemy. Not a hint of a tremor was in Katja's hand when she used her wrist communicator to call her daughter to the IT center, cool and undisputable determination in the few syllables aimed Stu's way that commanded him to call his father on the phone, without Ororo having given Katja as much as temporary control in a crisis she was actually forbidden from taking a crucial part in for being compromised alone.

In fact, Ororo didn’t think she'd ever seen anyone less emotionally compromised who had to fear for their husband's life. Maybe this was a kind of control that years of having your emotions connected to destructive weather phenomenon earned you.

What she'd mistaken for ice-cold shock a minute ago was the crystal clear calculation of someone who'd been robbed off control far too often in her life and was no longer willing to stand and watch as it happened all over … either to her or to the people closest to her.

Ororo had rarely been prouder of her former pupil.

With the same dejected but composed calmness, Katja nodded Saskia close who must have been waiting right behind the door as so often, entering only a second later, and motioned for Stu to mirror the video call with his father to one of the monitors in the wall that they could all see from where they stood.

"It's my family, and Stu's, who has to make the choice of how to save our people. Anyone's got a problem with that, you're welcome to file your complaint with our leader if we happen to get him back alive."

Even the gentle touch on her daughter's hand when a visibly upset Saskia next to her trembled at this sadly very possible reality that this exactly wouldn’t be the case, came without looking, without a second of distraction from a situation that allowed no delay, not even for comfort.

Only the energy that maybe only the rage of heaven could give.

"Until then, I suggest anyone who doesn’t want to get fried by accident get the fuck out of my way."

"You know you're pretty hot when you're pissed, Kitten," Logan grunted after a second of stunned silence in the room, with a lopsided grin and a very appreciative eye-roll his teammate's way, finally lighting his cigar before leaning back against one of the monitor towers, at least no longer looking like he'd just burst through the door by force if necessary.

"Any more cavemen commentary?" a voice from said secure new video com line to New York above their heads asked dryly. "Otherwise, if the weather-witches in the room don’t mind, I have a few specifications from the city defenses for you guys that might help getting through the Field without anyone having to electrocute their balls off in the process."

Ororo signaled a visibly mortified Stu, burying his masked face in his hands with a suffering groan, with a soothing gesture that it was alright, that in a house living with a amnesic feral with the world's worst manners, there was no need to apologize for a slightly rude-leaning parent, and then turned her attention to the latest crisis.

Palm Beach Island Takes Over as the Top Ultra-High-Net -Worth Property Market in the United States!

“Palm Beach is a niche market that consistently has the highest concentrations of appropriate properties and lifestyle for ultra-high-net-worth individuals,” says Eric Gunther President of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty on Worth Avenue Palm Beach.

Ultra-high-net-worth “UHNW”, is a level of ultra-luxury residential properties that trade for $50,000,000 or more. The market for these eight and nine-figure estates has significantly increased in the past ten years.

New York, the Hamptons, Malibu, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Miami have all seen a sudden and profound transformation in the value of the most coveted properties. But nowhere in the U.S. compares to the small Island of Palm Beach which currently has 13 properties listed for sale asking over $50,000,000. This 16 mile long barrier island is a fraction of the size of its UHNW market peers, making the concentration of luxury real estate sales staggering over the comparatively small area.

Over the last year of 2023, Florida’s two most expensive home sold on Palm Beach Island. $170,000,000 was in first place at 589 North County Road Palm Beach, FL 33480 and $155,000,000 in second place at 1495 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach 33480 combined into a compound with 108 Mediterranean Road Palm Beach, FL 33480.

As the balance in middle market property prices and interest rates struggle to find common ground across the general U.S., solid activity in the Florida market and in the UHNW market of Palm Beach is understandable for emotional reasons but also backed by qualitative data.

Buyers of properties in excess of several million dollars aren’t as affected by volatility in interest rates or the stock market like other buyers. Often paying in cash versus financing, these buyers see their real estate as tangible assets to be enjoyed but also bought, sold, and traded at the right times.

Meanwhile, just across the Intracoastal waterway, select bordering neighborhoods of West Palm Beach are becoming “Palm Beach Island adjacent” with sales in excess of several million dollars being very normal. Areas in West Palm such as Marina Park, El Cid, Howard Park, Phipps Park, and South of Southern (SOSO) are emerging in a very big way. As major financial firm and accompanying industries such as consulting, accounting, legal, and more keep moving to West Palm Beach, we expect these neighborhoods to continue growing in value and the beautification of Mediterranean revival and modern styled new construction homes.

Palm Beach owners naturally enjoy the warm winters of our busiest season, when residents with multiple homes return for the climate. Many visitors come prepared to shop for real estate during this season making it ripe to sell for more. Spring and summer balance out the year as owners often list after enjoying a last winter season and demand to buy exits all year long in the Florida UHNW market. Typically, buyers even appreciate the downtime after buying so they can renovate and bring in the finest upgrades and décor of their personal choice which can take time after buying.

This year more incredible properties are on the market and selling for more than anywhere else in the United States. Currently, the Island’s most expensive listing is 2.3 oceanfront vacant acres of land listed at $200,000,000 at 1063 and 1071 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach, FL 33480. They have 360 feet of width across the beachfront which is a rare luxury opportunity on The Island. These are owned by cosmetics heir William Lauder who listed the land on the market after buying the late Rush Limbaugh’s property. Both properties were torn down to achieve their amplified land value together.

Traditionally, Palm Beach was perceived as a multigenerational closed circle. Today, this is no longer the case and sellers are aware of the vibrant new audience which needs to be reflected and focused on for marketing and advertising to sell a property of these price points in the economy of today. The Island does still maintain the exclusivity of high society, yet it's much more inclusive of people from a broader range of affluence, industries, and backgrounds which is very healthy.

Here are five of our favorite finest properties on the market as of today on Palm Beach Island:

Ryan Kolln, CEO at Appen – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ryan-kolln-ceo-at-appen-interview-series/

Ryan Kolln, CEO at Appen – Interview Series

Ryan Kolln is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Appen. Ryan brings over 20 years of global experience in technology and telecommunications, along with a deep understanding of Appen’s business and the AI industry.

His professional career began as an engineer, with a focus on mobile network data engineering in Australia, Asia and North America. On completion of an MBA from New York University, Ryan joined The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in 2011 as a strategy consultant. During his time at BCG he specialised in technology and telecommunications and gained deep strategy expertise across a variety of growth and operational topics.

Joining Appen AI in 2018 as VP of Corporate Development, he led strategic acquisitions like Figure Eight and Quadrant, and supported the establishment of the China and Federal divisions. Prior to his appointment as CEO, he served as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing global operations and strategy.

With over 20 years of experience in technology and telecommunications, how has your career path shaped your approach to leading Appen through the rapidly evolving AI landscape?

My career began as a telecommunications engineer, where my role was to build and optimize networks and involved a huge amount of data, analytics, and finding innovative solutions to optimize network performance and customer experience.

After completing my MBA at NYU, this evolved into leadership roles in tech strategy and mergers & acquisitions, where I focused on bigger strategic questions, such as emerging trends, investment opportunities, and business models. This background has given me a deep understanding of both the technical and business aspects of emerging technologies.

At Appen, we work at the intersection of AI and data, and my experience has allowed me to lead the company and navigate complexities in the rapidly evolving AI space, moving through major developments like voice recognition, NLP, recommendation systems, and now generative AI. This strategic vision is crucial as AI continues to transform industries globally.

You’ve been with Appen since 2018, driving major acquisitions like Figure Eight and Quadrant. How have these strategic moves positioned Appen as a leader in AI data services, and what do you see as the next big opportunity for the company?

The acquisitions of Figure Eight and Quadrant were key to expanding our AI data capabilities, particularly in areas like data annotation and geolocation intelligence. Figure Eight’s data annotation platform was particularly impactful. The platform is highly customizable, and we have used it for work in many different domains. More recently, we have been utilizing the platform to run most of our generative AI dataflows.

In addition to the acquisitions, about 5 years ago we set up an operation in China called Appen China. We are now the largest AI data company in China, with revenue almost double that of our nearest competitors.

Looking forward, the focus for Appen is on supporting the development and adoption of generative AI. There are major growth opportunities in both the model builders and companies looking to adopt generative AI into their products and operations. We feel we are just at the beginning of the largest AI wave.

Data quality plays a crucial role in AI model development. Could you share how Appen ensures the accuracy, diversity, and relevance of its datasets, especially with the increasing demand for high-quality LLM training data?

Appen’s strength is our ability to create high-quality data consistently and at scale. We work closely with our customers to understand their AI model objectives and develop high-quality data for their needs through a multi-layered approach that combines automated tools and human feedback. We have a global workforce of over 1 million across 200+ countries, which allows us to curate a group of qualified and diverse contributors. Through rigorous quality control and feedback loops, we ensure that the data is accurate, consistent, and relevant, and can be used to effectively improve the performance of AI models. This allows AI systems to operate effectively in real-world environments and can also be used to improve robustness and reduce bias, especially for LLMs.

Synthetic data generation is gaining popularity, and Appen’s investment in Mindtech highlights your interest in this area. Could you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using synthetic or web-scraped data versus crowdsourced data for training AI models, and how you see synthetic data complementing the crowdsourced data Appen is known for?

High-quality data is crucial but can be costly and time-consuming to produce, which is why synthetic data is gaining attention. It works well for structured data in traditional AI/ML tasks, especially in industries with strict privacy regulations like healthcare and finance, as it avoids using personal information.

However, synthetic data often lacks the depth and nuance of real-world data, especially for complex Generative AI tasks that require diversity and deep expertise. It can also perpetuate errors or biases from the original data. Web-scraped data, commonly used for LLMs, presents its own challenges with low-quality content, bias, and misinformation, requiring careful curation.

Crowdsourced data, which Appen specializes in, remains the “ground truth.” Human expertise is vital for generating the diverse, complex data needed to improve AI model accuracy and ensure alignment with human values.

We view synthetic data as complementary to our human-annotated data. While synthetic data can accelerate parts of the process, human-labelled data ensures models reflect real-world diversity. Together, they provide a balanced approach to creating high-quality training data for AI.

The EU AI Act and other global regulations are shaping the ethical standards around AI development. How do you see these regulations influencing Appen’s operations and the broader AI industry moving forward?

The EU AI Act and similar global regulations are likely to influence Appen’s operations by setting new ethical standards for AI model development and performance. We may see changes in how we handle data, ensure model fairness, and address ethical considerations. This could lead to more rigorous processes and potential adjustments in our approach to model training and validation.

Broadly, these regulations will likely drive the industry towards higher ethical standards, increase compliance costs, and potentially slow down some aspects of innovation. However, they will also push for greater accountability and transparency, which could ultimately lead to more responsible and sustainable AI development.

With growing concerns around bias in AI, how does Appen work to ensure that the datasets used to train AI models are ethically sourced and free from bias, particularly in sensitive areas like natural language processing and computer vision?

We actively work to reduce bias by fostering diversity and inclusion across our projects. It is encouraging to see that many of our customers are focused on capturing broad demographics in data collection and model evaluation tasks. Having a global crowd that resides in most countries enables us to source data from a wide range of perspectives and experiences, which is especially important in sensitive areas like natural language processing and computer vision.

Since 2019, we formalized our best practices into the Crowd Code of Ethics, showing our dedication towards diversity, fairness, and crowd wellbeing. This includes our commitment to fair pay, ensuring our crowd’s voice is heard, and maintaining strict privacy protections. By upholding these principles, we aim to deliver high-quality, ethically sourced data that supports responsible AI development.

As AI becomes more integrated into industries like automotive, advertising, and AR/VR, how is Appen positioning itself to meet the increasing demand for specialized training data in these sectors?

Over the last 27 years, we have provided specialized training data for a diverse range of industries and use cases, and we continue to evolve as our customer needs evolve.

As an example, in automotive, we worked with leading automotive companies and in-cabin solution providers to build in-vehicle speech systems. Now, we are helping our customers in new areas like video data collection of drivers to help safety by monitoring driver distraction.

In advertising, we helped a leading global advertising platform improve the quality and accuracy of ads for user relevance over a large multi-year global program with 7M+ evaluations. Now, as many of the platforms are adopting generative AI solutions, our crowd are not only assessing the relevance of ads but also helping evaluate the quality of generated ads.

We have been able to do all of this through our robust annotation platform which can be customized to support complex workflows and various data modalities including text, audio, image, video, and multimodal annotation. But ultimately, our ability to move with the changing industry comes down to our deep expertise in data for AI development and strong partnership with our customers.

Appen has been a leader in providing high-quality data for a variety of AI applications. Looking forward, how do you see Appen’s role evolving as generative AI and LLMs continue to develop and influence global markets?

Generative AI and LLMs are transforming industries, and we will continue to play a critical role in providing high-quality data to support these advancements. When it comes to global markets, our ability to source across 200 countries and 500+ languages will become even more valuable, and we have a strong history of this as we helped companies like Microsoft launch Machine Translation models for over 110 languages.

As the deployment of LLM applications grows, we see a growing demand for aligning with human end users, including localization capabilities to ensure language and cultural nuances are addressed in various global markets. We’re committed to helping companies develop AI systems that are both performant and responsible by ensuring that the data used to train these models is diverse, relevant, and ethically sourced.

Appen is known for powering some of the world’s most advanced LLMs. What are some of the innovations in data annotation and collection that Appen is focusing on to enhance the performance of these models?

We’re continuously innovating our data annotation and collection processes to enhance the performance of LLMs. One area of focus is improving the efficiency and accuracy of data annotation through advanced AI-assisted tools, which help to streamline and automate parts of the process while maintaining high-quality standards.

We can identify data points that need further human input, ensuring that annotation efforts are targeted where they will make the most impact. We have integrated features in our platform like Model Mate which can be used to help accelerate data production and improve data quality. We are also focused on best practices in contributor management, which is important as the complexity of tasks increases.

The ability to understand contributor-level performance and provide feedback to continuously improve the quality of our human-generated data. These innovations allow us to provide the high-quality, large-scale data required to power and fine-tune the world’s leading LLMs.

As you step into your new role as CEO, what are your top priorities for Appen over the next few years, and how do you plan to drive the company’s growth in the highly competitive AI space?

As I transition into the role of CEO, my strategic priorities are designed to ensure Appen’s leadership in the competitive AI landscape:

Supporting the development of generative AI models: Over the last 18 months, generative AI has become a key component of our service offering, with 28% of group revenue coming from generative AI-related projects in June 2024 compared to 8% in January. We see significant potential in the generative AI market, which is projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032 according to industry forecasts.

Supporting the adoption of generative AI models: We see growth in new segments as enterprises leverage generative AI solutions for their use cases. Although the percentage of generative AI projects reaching deployment is low, we anticipate that FY24/25 will be a transition period where experiments move to production, and drive demand for custom high-quality and specialized data.

Optimizing and automating the way we prepare data: By utilizing AI for quality assurance and automating certain steps of the data preparation process. This will allow us to enhance data quality while also improving operational efficiency, improving our gross margins.

Evolving the experience for our crowd workers: Our new CrowdGen platform enables us to scale projects quickly and flexibly in line with our customer needs, utilizing AI for automated screening and project matching. This will also improve our contributor experience personalized support. Appen has been an early adopter in promoting transparency, diversity, and fairness in our data sourcing, and we remain committed to our Crowd Code of Ethics.

These priorities will position Appen for sustained growth and innovation in the evolving AI landscape.

Thank you for the great interview, we urge readers who wish to learn more to visit Appen.

This is caused by a combination of factors, including the greater cost of living in these areas and the fact that data science specialists are in high demand in these tech-hub locations.

2. Industry Technology: Data scientists are typically paid the highest salary in the technology industry. Pay packages for top roles at companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon can reach over $300,000. This is especially true when bonuses and stock options are factored in. Healthcare and finance: Because data is so important to these sectors' functioning, these fields also pay well. In these domains, senior data scientists can make between $180,000 and $250,000.

Retail and Manufacturing: These sectors often have lower compensation ceilings than tech, finance, and healthcare, but they nonetheless offer competitive pay. Top pay in this area might be between $120,000 and $180,000.

3. Education and Experience: Entry-Level: New graduates should anticipate starting salary between $70,000 and $100,000 if they have the appropriate degree. Mid-Level: Data scientists can expect to make between $120,000 and $150,000 after a few years of expertise.

Senior-Level: Individuals with a great deal of expertise and specific knowledge in fields like big data analytics or machine learning can command compensation of at least $200,000. Those with doctorates and other advanced degrees may also have greater earning potential.

The highest compensated Those who make the most money in data science are frequently in senior leadership roles, such as directors or chief data scientists. Particularly in prestigious IT companies or large international enterprises, these positions can fetch salaries well over $300,000. Furthermore, data scientists may make even more money if they decide to go into consultancy or entrepreneurship, depending on how well those businesses succeed. Location, industry, and experience are some of the elements that affect a data scientist's maximum compensation. Although salaries for entry-level jobs are reasonable at first, there is a lot of room for advancement in this profession. Data science is not just a fulfilling but also a profitable career choice. Senior data scientists, especially in high-demand industries and tech hubs, can make incomes that rival those of top executives.

"This is not a political film"

Inside a flimsy temporary office on a dusty movie lot here, a young man sits in front of a computer, showing off a three-dimensional rendering of the collapse of the World Trade Center. It was assembled by merging the blueprints for the twin towers — the before-picture, you might say — with a vast collection of measurements, including some taken with infrared laser scans from an airplane 5,000 feet above Lower Manhattan, just days after 9/11.

With a few clicks, Ron Frankel, who has the title pre-visualization supervisor for Oliver Stone's new 9/11 film, begins to illustrate the circuitous path that five Port Authority police officers took into the trade center's subterranean concourse, until the towers above them fell, killing all but two.

As Mr. Frankel speaks, behind his back a burly man has wandered through the door. He is Will Jimeno, one of the two officers who survived. He has been a constant presence on the movie set, scooting from here to there in a golf cart, bantering with the actor playing him and with Mr. Stone, answering questions and offering suggestions — a consultant and court jester. But he has never seen this demonstration before, he says, pulling up a chair.

Mr. Frankel, continuing with his impromptu show-and-tell, says the floor beneath Mr. Jimeno, Sgt. John McLoughlin and their three fellow officers dropped some 60 feet, creating a 90-foot ravine in the underground inferno. The difference between instant death and a chance at life, for each of the men, was a matter of inches.

Mr. Jimeno sits quietly, absorbing what he's just seen and heard. His eyes moisten. "I didn't know this," he says. "I didn't know this. I didn't know there was a drop-off here. This is an explanation I never knew about." He pauses. "We try not to ponder on it, because we're alive. But it answers some questions. That, really, played a big part in us being here." The countless measurements taken and calculations made by scientists and government agencies helped ground zero rescue workers pinpoint dangerous areas in the weeks after the attacks. The data also provided a fuller historical record of how the buildings collapsed and lessons for future architects and engineers.

Only a movie budgeted as mass entertainment, though, could harness all that costly information to reconstruct the point of view of two severely injured and bewildered men, who didn't even know the twin towers had been flattened until rescuers lifted them to the surface many hours later.

Their story, and those of their families, their rescuers and the three men killed alongside them, is the subject of Mr. Stone's "World Trade Center," which Paramount plans to release on Aug. 9.

The quandary that Paramount executives face is a familiar one now, a few months after Universal's "United 93" became the first 9/11 movie to enter wide theatrical release: How do you market a movie like this without offending audiences or violating the film's intentions? Carefully of course, but "there's no playbook," said Gerry Rich, Paramount's worldwide marketing chief. In New York and New Jersey, for example, there will be no billboards or subway signs, which could otherwise hit, quite literally, too close to home. And the studio is running all of its materials by a group of survivors to avoid offending sensibilities.

But Paramount, naturally, wants as wide an audience as possible for this film.

Nicolas Cage, who plays the taciturn Sergeant McLoughlin, says the movie is not meant to entertain. "I see it as storytelling which depicts history," he says. "This is what happened. Look at it. 'Yeah, I remember that.' Generation after generation goes by, they'll have 'United 93,' 'World Trade Center,' to recall that history."

Whether Mr. Stone set out to make a historical drama or a dramatic history isn't entirely clear. Mr. Jimeno and Mr. McLoughlin, who have both since retired from the Port Authority, say the script and the production took very few liberties except for the sake of time compression.

"We're still nervous," Mr. Jimeno said last fall, after shooting had shifted from New York and New Jersey to an old airplane hangar near Marina del Rey. "It's still Hollywood. But Oliver — it's to the point where he drives me crazy, trying to get things right."

There are many people of course who have been driven a little crazy for other reasons by some of Mr. Stone's more controversial films, "JFK," "Natural Born Killers" and "Nixon" chief among them. But in several interviews, sounding variously weary, wounded and either self-deprecating or defensive, Mr. Stone spoke as if his days of deliberate provocation were behind him.

"I stopped," he says simply. "I stopped."

His new film, he says, just might go over as well in Kansas as in Boston, or, for that matter, in Paris or Madrid. "This is not a political film," he insists. "The mantra is 'This is not a political film.' Why can't I stay on message for once in a while? Why do I have to take detours all the time?"

He said he just wants to depict the plain facts of what happened on Sept. 11. "It seems to me that the event was mythologized by both political sides, into something that they used for political gain," he says. "And I think one of the benefits of this movie is that it reminds us of what actually happened that day, in a very realistic sense."

"We show people being killed, and we show people who are not killed, and the fine line that divides them," he continues. "How many men saved those two lives? Hundreds. These guys went into that twisted mass, and it very clearly could've fallen down on them, and struggled all night for hours to get them out."

By contrast Paul Haggis is directing the adaptation of Richard Clarke's book on the causes of 9/11, "Against All Enemies," for the producer John Calley and Columbia Pictures.

Asked if that weren't the kind of film he might once have tried to tackle, Mr. Stone first scoffs: "I couldn't do it. I'd be burned alive." Then he adds: "This is not a political film. That's the mantra they handed me."

Mr. Stone says he particularly owes his producers, Michael Shamberg and Stacy Sher, for taking a chance on him at a time when he had gone cold in Hollywood after a string of commercial and critical disappointments culminating in the epic "Alexander" in 2004. "They believed in me at a time when other people did not, frankly," he says. " 'Alexander' was cold-turkeyed in this town, I think unfairly, but it was, and I took a hit. Nobody's your friend, nobody wants to talk to you."

Mr. Stone came forward asking to direct "World Trade Center" just about a year ago. He decided it would require a different approach from, say, "JFK." "The Kennedy assassination was 40 years ago, and look at the heat there, a tremendous amount of heat," he says. "I was trying to do my best to give an alternative version of what I thought might have happened, but it wasn't understood. It was taken very literally. 'Platoon,' I went back to a Vietnam that I saw quite literally, but it was a twisted time in our history.

"This — this is a fresh wound, and it had to be cauterized in a certain way. This is a very specific story. The details are the details are the details."

The details that led to the movie's making began in April 2004, when Andrea Berloff, a screenwriter, pitched a story about Mr. Jimeno's and Mr. McLoughlin's "transformation in the hole" to Ms. Sher and Mr. Shamberg. Ms. Berloff, who had no produced credits, was candid about two things:

"I didn't want to see the planes hit the buildings. We've seen enough of that footage forever. It's not adding anything new at this point. I also said I don't know how to end the movie, because there are 10 endings to the story. What happened to John and Will in that hospital could be a movie unto itself. Will flatlined twice, and was still there on Halloween. And John was read his last rites twice."

The producer Debra Hill, who had optioned the rights to the two men's stories, was listening in on the line. When Ms. Berloff was done, she recalls, Ms. Hill said, "I don't want to speak out of turn, but I think we should hire you."

Ms. Berloff and Mr. Shamberg headed to New York to meet with the two officers and their families, and to visit both the Port Authority Bus Terminal, where the men had once patrolled, and ground zero. In long sessions with the Jimenos in Clifton, N.J., and with the McLoughlins in Goshen, N.Y., Ms. Berloff says, she quickly learned that both families, despite the nearly three years that had elapsed, remained emotionally raw. "Within 20 minutes of starting to talk they were losing it," she says. "We all just sat and cried together for a week."

Before leaving, Ms. Berloff says, she felt she had imposed on, exhausted and bonded with the two families so much that she warned them that in all likelihood she would not be around for the making of the movie. "I had to say, 'The writer usually gets fired, so I can't guarantee I'll be there at the end,' " she recalls. "But I'd recorded the whole thing, and I said they shouldn't have to go through this with a bunch of writers. They'd have the transcripts to work from."

Ms. Berloff returned to Los Angeles, stared at her walls for a month, she says, and then wrote a script in five weeks, turning it in two days before her October wedding.

Ms. Hill died of cancer the following March. Mr. Shamberg and Ms. Sher moved ahead, circulating the script to Kevin Huvane at Creative Artists Agency, and to his partners Bryan Lourd and Richard Lovett. Mr. Lourd gave it to Mr. Stone, Mr. Lovett to his client Mr. Cage.

The agency also represents Maria Bello, who plays Mr. McLoughlin's wife, Donna, and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who plays Alison Jimeno. Ms. Gyllenhaal, who'd just seen "Crash," suggested Michael Peña, who made a lasting impression in a few scenes as a locksmith with a young daughter. (Mr. Peña did a double-take, he confesses, upon hearing that Mr. Stone was directing a 9/11 movie: "I'm like, let me read it first — just because you're aware of the kind of movies that he does.")

Given the need to shoot exteriors in New York in September, the cast and crew raced to get ready for shooting. The actors aimed for accuracy in different ways. Mr. Cage says he focused on getting Mr. McLoughlin's New York accent right, and spent time in a sense-deprivation tank in Venice, Calif., to get a hint of the fear and claustrophobia one might experience after hours immobile and in pain in the dark. Mr. Peña all but moved in with Mr. Jimeno.

Ms. Gyllenhaal had her own problems to solve. That April she had stepped on a third rail, saying on a red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival that "America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way" for 9/11. She apologized publicly, then met privately with the Jimenos, offering to withdraw if they objected to her involvement. "We started to get into politics a little bit, and Will said, 'I don't care what your politics are,' " she recalls.

With Mr. Jimeno and Mr. McLoughlin vouching for the filmmakers, more rescuers asked to be included, meaning not only that dozens of New York uniformed officers would fly to Los Angeles to re-enact the rescue of the two men, but that there were more sources of information to replace Ms. Berloff's best guesses with vivid memories.

Ms. Bello, who had gone to St. Vincent's Hospital on 9/11 with her mother, a nurse, and waited in vain for the expected deluge of injured to arrive, contributed a scene after learning from Donna McLoughlin of a poignant encounter she had had while waiting for her husband to arrive at Bellevue.

Some of the film's most fictitious-seeming moments are authentic. Mr. Jimeno's account of his ordeal included a Castaneda-like vision in which Jesus appeared with a water bottle in hand. But Mr. McLoughlin recalled no hallucinations, or nightmares, or dreams: only thoughts of his family. "He kept saying I'm sorry — 20 years in the job, never gotten hurt, and here we go and I'm not going to be there for you," Ms. Berloff says. "So we tried to dramatize that."

Nearly everything else in the movie is straight out of Mr. Jimeno's and Mr. McLoughlin's now oft-told story: the Promethean hole in the ground, with fireballs and overheated pistol rounds going off at random; the hundreds of rescuers, with a few standouts, like the dissolute paramedic with a lapsed license who redeems himself as he digs to reach Mr. Jimeno.

And the former marine who leaves his job as a suburban accountant, rushes to church, then dons his pressed battle fatigues, stops at a barbershop for a high-and-tight, heads downtown past barricades saying he's needed and winds up tiptoeing through the perilous heap calling out "United States Marines" until Mr. Jimeno hears him and responds. Mr. Stone says he is adding a note at the end of the film, revealing that the marine, David Karnes, re-enlisted and served two tours of duty in Iraq, because test audiences believed he was a Hollywood invention.

Reality can be just as gushingly sentimental as the sappiest movie, Mr. Stone acknowledges, especially when the storytellers are uniformed officers in New York who lived through 9/11. And particularly when it comes to Mr. Jimeno and Mr. McLoughlin, who have struggled with the awkwardness of being singled out as heroes when so many others died similarly doing their duty, and when so many more rescued them.

"You could argue the guys don't do much, they get pinned, so what," Mr. Stone says. "There will be those type of people. I say there is heroism. Here you see this image of these poor men approaching the tower, with no equipment, just their bodies, and they don't know what the hell they're doing, and they're going up into this inferno, they're like babies. You feel saddened, you feel sorry for them. They don't have a chance."

Mr. Cage says he once mentioned to Mr. Stone that their audience had lived through 9/11: "That it's not like 'Platoon,' where most of us don't know what it's like to be in the jungle."

"He said, 'Well what's your point?' " Mr. Cage says. "And my point is that we all walk into buildings every day, and we were there, and we saw it on TV, so this is going to be very cathartic and a little bit hard for people."

Despite its fireballs, shudders and booms, Mr. Stone's film is also unusually delicate, from the shadowy intimacy of the officers' early-morning awakenings to the solemnity of their ride downtown in a commandeered city bus, to the struggle of their wives to cope with hours of uncertainty and then with false reports of their husbands' safety.

"It's not about the World Trade Center, really. It's about any man or woman faced with the end of their lives, and how they survive," Mr. Stone says. "I did it for a reason. I did it because emotionally it hit me. I loved the simplicity and modesty of this movie.

"I hope the movie does well," he adds, "even if they say 'in spite of Oliver Stone.' "

-David Halbfinger, "Oliver Stone's 'World Trade Center' Seeks Truth in the Rubble," The New York TImes, Jul 2 2006

What are the Opportunities and Challenges for Indians Seeking Accounting Jobs in the USA?

The United States offers a plethora of opportunities for accountants, making it an attractive destination for Indian professionals in the field. Accounting jobs in the USA for Indians encompass a wide range of roles, from auditing and financial analysis to tax consulting and corporate finance. The demand for skilled accountants remains high due to stringent financial regulations and the need for accurate financial reporting.

One of the primary pathways for Indians to secure accounting jobs in the USA is through obtaining relevant certifications, such as the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license. The CPA credential is highly regarded and often required for advanced accounting positions. Additionally, Indian professionals can benefit from gaining experience in multinational companies or Big Four accounting firms, which often have offices in India and the USA.

However, the journey is not without challenges. Navigating the visa process is a significant hurdle. The H-1B visa, commonly used by skilled workers, has an annual cap and requires employer sponsorship, which can be competitive and uncertain. Moreover, cultural and workplace differences might require adaptation and can pose initial challenges.

Networking and professional connections play a crucial role in securing employment. Joining professional associations such as the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and attending industry conferences can provide valuable contacts and insights into the job market. Moreover, staying updated with industry trends and continuing education are essential for career growth.

In summary, while accounting jobs in the USA offer significant opportunities for Indian professionals, success requires strategic planning, relevant certifications, and adaptability to the American work environment. Overcoming visa challenges and leveraging professional networks can pave the way for a rewarding career in the US accounting industry.

What is the Average Salary for Accountants holding a CPA Certification in the United States?

As of recent data, the average salary for accountants with CPA certification in the US is approximately $70,000 to $90,000 per year, with variations based on experience, location, and industry.

Entry-level CPAs salary can expect to earn between $55,000 and $75,000 annually. As they gain experience and take on more responsibilities, their salaries can increase significantly. Mid-level CPAs, with around 5-10 years of experience, typically earn between $80,000 and $110,000. Senior CPAs, especially those in managerial or specialized roles, can command salaries upwards of $120,000 to $150,000 or more.

Location plays a crucial role in determining salary levels. For instance, CPAs working in major metropolitan areas such as New York City, San Francisco, or Chicago often earn higher salaries compared to those in smaller cities or rural areas. This is due to the higher cost of living and the concentration of large corporations and financial institutions in these urban centers.

The industry also influences salary levels. CPAs employed in the finance and insurance sectors, or those working for large public accounting firms, generally earn more than their counterparts in government or non-profit organizations. Specializing in high-demand areas such as forensic accounting, information technology auditing, or financial analysis can further boost earning potential.

In conclusion, obtaining a CPA certification can significantly enhance an accountant's earning potential in the US. With a strong demand for skilled accounting professionals and competitive salaries, CPAs are well-positioned for successful and lucrative careers across various industries.
