Image caption, Special chief officer James Deller's actions were an abuse of trust, the Met Police said The Metropolitan Police has fired the head of its Special Constabulary after Palantir's AI monitoring uncovered that he had used his work phone to copy intimate images of a woman. Special chief officer James Deller, who led the force's volunteer officers, was dismissed following a misconduct hearing on Friday. The Met said investigators used lawful business monitoring and Palantir's Foundry system, which uses artificial intelligence (AI), to find the misconduct by Deller. Cdr Pete Stevens said: SCO Deller failed to meet that bar. His actions were an abuse of the trust put in him and it is right that he is no longer able to serve in policing.

It smells like strong, hard plastic, like perm solution. Yes, the melted plastic carries through on the finish. That wine, I won't name names, did not make the cut in Wine Access' super-selective, scientific wine judging panel, which I sat in on last month at Napa's The Kitchen Collective. The panel is composed of three experts: Matt Deller, one of only 45 Masters of Wine in the U.S.; Sur Lucero, who passed all three sections of his Master Sommelier exam on the first attempt and has worked in restaurants like The French Laundry and Meadowood; Vanessa Conlin, a Master of Wine candidate who has passed the theory portion of her exams. To say the scene was intimidating, would be a giant understatement.
