COMMENTARY: Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the pennyThe U.S. Treasury announced that, by early next year, it will cease making new pennies, which cost almost four times to make what they are actually worth. But "Sunday Morning" contributor Faith Salie says that, while phasing out the one-cent coin might make sense, its loss is more than what we can calculate.

WWE: Liv Morgan to miss several months due to shoulder injury
WWE's Liv Morgan will be out for several months due to a shoulder injury. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI June 24 (UPI) -- WWE star Liv Morgan will miss several months of action due to a shoulder injury she suffered last week. WWE commentator Corey Graves made the announcement while discussing Morgan's injury on Raw Monday. Advertisement Morgan is currently one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Raquel Rodriguez. WWE has not announced what will happen to the titles. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder June 16 during her match against Kairi Sane on Raw. The incident happened shortly after the match started when Morgan received a single-leg takedown from Sane. The move was performed properly, however, Morgan yelled in pain and the match was immediately paused. WWE superstar Liv Morgan throws the ceremonial first pitch before the Colorado Rockies-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo., in 2022. File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI WWE medical personnel came ringside to check on Morgan, who was escorted to the back. The match was canceled, with Sane winning by forfeit. Morgan had recently attacked Hall of Famer Nikki Bella with the segment appearing to set up a match between the two; however, the bout will now most likely not take place.

Authors call on publishers to limit their use of AI
An open letter from authors including Lauren Groff, Lev Grossman, R.F. Kuang, Dennis Lehane, and Geoffrey Maguire calls on book publishers to pledge to limit their use of AI tools, for example by committing to only hire human audiobook narrators. The letter argues that authors' work has been 'stolen' by AI companies: 'Rather than paying writers a small percentage of the money our work makes for them, someone else will be paid for a technology built on our unpaid labor.' Among other commitments, the authors call for publishers to 'make a pledge that they will never release books that were created by machine' and 'not replace their human staff with AI tools or degrade their positions into AI monitors.' While the initial letter was signed by an already impressive list of writers, NPR reports that another 1,100 signatures were added in the 24 hours after it was initially published. Authors are also suing tech companies over using their books to train AI models, but federal judges dealt significant blows to those lawsuits earlier this week.

Tipalti's Darren Upson on the strategic use of AI-driven finance
Tipalti currently serves over 5,000 companies via AI-driven solutions to automate finance operations. These include accounts payable, employee expenses, global pay-outs, procurement, supplier management, and tax compliance. What should excite Tipalti's backers is the sheer scale of the addressable market of prospects not yet using AI-powered finance software. 'There are a huge number of companies, especially those of a more traditional nature, that have not even scratched the surface of automation and what it can do for their businesses,' says Darren is a fully automated, cloud-based platform that simplifies the most complex finance workflows, helping its clients manage end-to-end payables across multiple entities, currencies, and countries—with built-in compliance. And its seamless ERP integrations gives complete visibility and control. So, it eliminates manual work and speeds up the entire payables process, automating everything from invoice approval to global payments and reconciles data seamlessly. That summary is hardly over-techy and should be understandable to even the most basic of business leaders. The Tipalti proposition is boosted by the backing of JPMorgan Chase, which is about as good as it gets if you had the widest possible choice of potential financial backers. Back in 2023, Tipalti raised $150m in growth financing from JPMorgan and Hercules Capital. At the time, it brought total funding to more than $550m and valued the firm at over $8bn. JPMorgan is also one of the major banks Tipalti uses to route its billions of dollars' worth of supplier payments on behalf of its customers. 'We work in the fintech space as an automation platform for accounts payable and also mass payments as well. We are both a software company and a financial services business. We execute payments for our businesses and we handle the whole accounts payable process from start to finish, basically stripping out all of the manual, redundant processes associated with accounts payable. 'As that is the most time-consuming part of finance, we're trying to help organisations, especially those fast-growing businesses, to actually put their people to better use and leverage technology to really do that manual, repetitive work more efficiently, faster and to be more scalable as well.' He says that a typical client firm will be high-growth, pre-IPO outfits that have already embraced automation. They will be firms that understand how automation enables them to be more agile as an organisation. 'The big challenge that exists now is individuals' understanding the art of the possible. There's a lot of people that think that they've already automated everything they can do. But there's always more and with AI tools and the technology that exists out there, there's so many more areas across an organisation that you can automate to create more efficiency, especially when businesses are looking to try and retain and attract talent as well. It's about, how do they make sure that the people that are coming into the workforce now are doing roles that are actually fulfilling and that they enjoy.' In the run up to the UK's Labour government first budget, there was much negative press coverage forecasting doom and gloom if taxes such as capital gains tax were raised. In the end, the rate of increase was not as steep as the most pessimistic forecasts but CGT did rise from 20% to 24% for higher rate taxpayers. And given the track record over history of past Labour governments, further tax rises are more likely than any tax cuts. Upson says that the UK is still the number one destination out of North America for start-ups. 'We've got such a hotbed of talent, and we've got a large banking infrastructure in place as well. So [tax changes] do not mean that the lights are going to go out overnight. But I think that there have to be more incentives to actually attract and support individuals that are looking to build the next big thing.'
