We launched our consulting arm because we were constantly hearing from
readers that while they wanted to implement AI throughout their
operations, product, and services, they were struggling to. We're now
working with select businesses to co-innovate, research, analyze,
recommend, implement, and, finally, train their organizations on AI.
Interested? Contact us to start a conversation.In a burnished-oak
corridor outside the committee room at IBM's headquarters in August
1980, two engineers pace nervously. Eventually, a door opens. Their
boss, Bill Lowe, emerges from the board room next door. Before they
can say anything, he smiles and nods. They laugh. They can't quite
believe it. It's official. IBM is going to try and build a home
computer.

In late 2019, unbeknownst to all, a new virus first infected humans in
Wuhan, China: SARS-CoV-2. This infectious virus — which turned out
to be airborne, highly infectious, lethal to a few but capable of
causing long-term damage to many — is the cause of the COVID-19
illness that has now infected at least 700 million (and likely
billions) across the globe. By January of 2020, dozens of infections
had spread to several countries, and the global response was
insufficient to prevent a pandemic. As a result, at least seven
million people (and possibly tens of millions) died while
tens-to-hundreds of millions more were left with long-term, often
disabling, conditions. That novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has gone on
to mutate many times and continues to be infectious: to humans and
animals both.And yet, one popular conspiracy theory continues to
thrive in the media and in politics: the idea that unlike all other
virus-caused pandemics, which originated naturally, this virus was
instead created in the lab.

It doesn’t seem like the world is a great place lately, does it? The
last few years have witnessed major political strife, devastating
wars, economic struggles, and protests teetering on the edge of civil
disorder. And before that there was the COVID-19 pandemic. And before
that there was the Great Recession and its prolonged recovery. And
before that there was the War on Terror and the 9/11 attacks. And
before that there was the 1990s (just all of the Nineties).With the
news and our social media feeds crowded-to-bursting with tragedy, many
have come to feel an overwhelming discontent with the state of the
world. Turns out, that emotion has a name: weltschmerz.

In a study recently published in Annals of Internal Medicine,
researchers reported that female Medicare patients seen by female
physicians had a lower risk of readmission and death than those seen
by male physicians. The roughly quarter-percentage-point difference in
mortality rate was small but significant. It translates into 5,000
potentially unnecessary deaths per year. Male patients also fared
slightly better under the care of women, though the 0.08% difference
in mortality was not statistically significant.While this result may
surprise members of the general public, it did not surprise scientists
who have studied differences in patient outcomes.

step of migration to a mobile-first index for Google search, which
started in 2016 and was initially announced as completed in October
2023.So, how does this affect your business's website? If your site's
mobile page displays an error or doesn't load at all, Google won't
index or rank it. It won't appear anywhere in Google's search results,
therefore you'll lose potential traffic and leads.Â

Shein and Temu is likely to cause delivery delays and bottlenecks,
industry experts said.U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced

includes the online forums where hackers post and sell stolen
information. A group called ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for
the breach and is reportedly selling the data for $500,000.Also in
May, Spanish bank Santander said that customer and employee
information had been stolen in a similar manner. ShinyHunters again
claimed responsibility for that attack and reportedly posted for sale

for the U.S., and together, they crossed the U.S. border through
Tijuana. The family ultimately settled in the Pilsen neighborhood
of Chicago, where his father found work cleaning dishes at a

The term, similar to "hush trips," means taking vacation days without

quiet vacation days because they are out of paid time off. In fact,
nearly 50 percent of employees say they do not use all their PTO,
according to a 2023 Pew Research report. According to the Resume
Builder survey, many workers are too anxious to ask for official
time off: Around 30 percent of survey participants indicated
they think using their PTO makes them look less hard-working,
and about 40 percent thought it might impact their job security.

Typically, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) don’t have the
resources to hunker down at an annual strategy retreat or to stop
everything they’re doing to respond to unexpected emergencies or
events that threaten the bottom line. This puts them at a disadvantage
compared to their larger competitors. This article shows how AI is

The authors describe three crisis scenarios in which AI-driven

The World Health Organization characterizes burnout as comprising
three key dimensions: sustained feelings of exhaustion, feelings of
personal inefficacy, and increased mental distance from one’s job.
In this article, the author outlines nine questions to ask yourself
under each of these three categories to help you diagnose what’s
causing your burnout. It’s likely a combination of factors,
requiring a number of changes over time to fully address it, and not
something a one-off vacation can reverse right away. Nonetheless, the
answers to these questions serve as a starting point and can inform
steps you can take to address your burnout and possibly prevent it
from happening again in the future.

Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy is Spotify’s managing director for Sub-Saharan
Africa. The music streaming platform has played a significant role in
the global growth of Afrobeats, Africa’s biggest music genre.The
thing that fascinates me is the rise of gospel music. I know that
spirituality is important to us as Africans, but I didn’t think it
was that important to the youth — Gen Z in particular. If you take
Nigeria, for example, Christian podcast streams on Spotify have grown
by 482% since 2022. Gospel music streams have grown by 1,228%.

SpaceX has completed a mostly successful fourth test of its
revolutionary new Starship rocket, a key step toward returning humans
to the Moon and, maybe one day, landing on Mars.The flight, integrated
flight test 4, lifted off today from SpaceXâ™s Boca Chica
test site in Texas at 7:50 am Central time. Standing 233 feet (71
meters) tall, the rocket and its 33 methane-fueled Raptor engines
roared to life, raising StarshipâÂÂthe largest rocket in
historyâÂÂinto the sky over the Gulf of Mexico from the test
site, called Starbase.

ChatGPT developer OpenAI's approach to building artificial
intelligence came under fire this week from former employees who
accuse the company of taking unnecessary risks with technology that
could become harmful.Today, OpenAI released a new research paper
apparently aimed at showing it is serious about tackling AI risk by
making its models more explainable. In the paper, researchers from the
company lay out a way to peer inside the AI model that powers ChatGPT.
They devise a method of identifying how the model stores certain
conceptsâincluding those that might cause an AI system to misbehave.

A hack against customers of the cloud storage company Snowflake looks
like it may turn into one of the biggest-ever data breaches. Last
week, Snowflake, which allows companies to store huge datasets on its
servers, revealed that criminal hackers had been attempting to access
its customers' accounts using stolen login details. Data breaches
targeting Ticketmaster and Santander have been linked to the
attacks.In the days since Snowflake first said a "limited number" of
customer accounts had been accessed, however, cybercriminals have
publicly claimed to be selling stolen data from two other major firms
and alleged the information was taken from Snowflake accounts. At the
same time, TechCrunch has reported that hundreds of Snowflake customer
passwords have been found online and are accessible to cybercriminals.

a lengthy prison sentence. The once-celebrated cofounder of software
company Autonomy was acquitted of all criminal charges, ending a
12-year legal saga accusing him of wire fraud and conspiracy.In the
course of a meandering, 11-week trial, the US Department of Justice
accused Lynch of overseeing an elaborate, multiyear fraud that served
to inflate the value of Autonomy before its purchase by
Hewlett-Packard in 2011.

Only two drugs are formally approved for post-traumatic stress
disorder, or PTSD, and they donâ™t help everyone. A lack of
effective treatment options has led some patients to seek out the
psychedelic drug MDMA, also known as ecstasy, to help relieve their
symptoms when traditional medications and therapy donâ™t
work.In the US, momentum has been growing to legalize MDMA and other
psychedelics. Lykos Therapeutics, which has been testing MDMA
alongside psychotherapy in clinical trials for years, had a chance
this week to prove that the combination is effective at treating PTSD.
But at a June 4 meeting, a panel of advisers to the US Food and Drug
Administration overwhelmingly voted that there wasnâ™t enough
evidence to recommend its approval. Just two of the 11 committee
members were convinced that the treatment was effective, and only one
said its benefits outweighed the risks.

consider what could go wrong when they create software like that
behind ChatGPT. Now a former domestic policy adviser to President
Biden who helped forge that deal says that AI developers need to step

China."Because they are behind, they are going to want to take
advantage of what we have," said Susan Rice regarding China. She left
the White House last year and spoke on Wednesday during a panel about

Institute for Human-Centered AI. "Whether it's through purchasing and
modifying our best open source models, or stealing our best secrets.

Within the cybersecurity community, meanwhile, the notion of a tool

Managers today are leading up to five generations at the same time.
And that brings with it a new challenge: Poorly managed generational
differences between employees can be damaging, resulting in age bias,
negative impact on job attitudes, dysfunctional team dynamics, and
even lower levels of overall job performance. Well-managed
generational diversity has the potential to bring substantial
benefits, ranging from knowledge transfer and mentoring to innovation
and reduced turnover. It creates opportunities to develop something
even more invaluable: intergenerational workplace friendships.

In late 2019, unbeknownst to all, a new virus first infected humans in
Wuhan, China: SARS-CoV-2. This infectious virus — which turned out
to be airborne, highly infectious, lethal to a few but capable of
causing long-term damage to many — is the cause of the COVID-19
illness that has now infected at least 700 million (and likely
billions) across the globe. By January of 2020, dozens of infections
had spread to several countries, and the global response was
insufficient to prevent a pandemic. As a result, at least seven
million people (and possibly tens of millions) died while
tens-to-hundreds of millions more were left with long-term, often
disabling, conditions. That novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has gone on
to mutate many times and continues to be infectious: to humans and
animals both.And yet, one popular conspiracy theory continues to
thrive in the media and in politics: the idea that unlike all other
virus-caused pandemics, which originated naturally, this virus was
instead created in the lab.

last few years have witnessed major political strife, devastating
wars, economic struggles, and protests teetering on the edge of civil
disorder. And before that there was the COVID-19 pandemic. And before
that there was the Great Recession and its prolonged recovery. And
before that there was the War on Terror and the 9/11 attacks. And
before that there was the 1990s (just all of the Nineties).With the

In a study recently published in Annals of Internal Medicine,
researchers reported that female Medicare patients seen by female
physicians had a lower risk of readmission and death than those seen
by male physicians. The roughly quarter-percentage-point difference in
mortality rate was small but significant. It translates into 5,000
potentially unnecessary deaths per year. Male patients also fared
slightly better under the care of women, though the 0.08% difference
in mortality was not statistically significant.While this result may
surprise members of the general public, it did not surprise scientists
who have studied differences in patient outcomes.

The World Health Organization characterizes burnout as comprising
three key dimensions: sustained feelings of exhaustion, feelings of
personal inefficacy, and increased mental distance from one’s job.
In this article, the author outlines nine questions to ask yourself
under each of these three categories to help you diagnose what’s
causing your burnout. It’s likely a combination of factors,
requiring a number of changes over time to fully address it, and not
something a one-off vacation can reverse right away. Nonetheless, the
answers to these questions serve as a starting point and can inform
steps you can take to address your burnout and possibly prevent it
from happening again in the future.

Only two drugs are formally approved for post-traumatic stress
disorder, or PTSD, and they donâ™t help everyone. A lack of
effective treatment options has led some patients to seek out the
psychedelic drug MDMA, also known as ecstasy, to help relieve their
symptoms when traditional medications and therapy donâ™t
work.In the US, momentum has been growing to legalize MDMA and other
psychedelics. Lykos Therapeutics, which has been testing MDMA
alongside psychotherapy in clinical trials for years, had a chance
this week to prove that the combination is effective at treating PTSD.
But at a June 4 meeting, a panel of advisers to the US Food and Drug
Administration overwhelmingly voted that there wasnâ™t enough
evidence to recommend its approval. Just two of the 11 committee
members were convinced that the treatment was effective, and only one
said its benefits outweighed the risks.

Last year, the White House struck a landmark safety deal with AI
developers that saw companies including Google and OpenAI promise to
consider what could go wrong when they create software like that
behind ChatGPT. Now a former domestic policy adviser to President
Biden who helped forge that deal says that AI developers need to step
up on another front: protecting their secret formulas from
China."Because they are behind, they are going to want to take
advantage of what we have," said Susan Rice regarding China. She left
the White House last year and spoke on Wednesday during a panel about
AI and geopolitics at an event hosted by Stanford University's
Institute for Human-Centered AI. "Whether it's through purchasing and
modifying our best open source models, or stealing our best secrets.
We really do need to look at this whole spectrum of how do we stay
ahead, and I worry that on the security side, we are lagging."

As weâ™re currently seeing with AI, when a new technology
becomes buzzy, companies will do almost anything to cram that tech
into their products. Trends fade, however, and corporate priorities
shiftâÂÂresulting in bricked gadgets and buyerâ™s
remorse.Thatâ™s what's happening to some who bought Oral-B
toothbrushes with Amazon Alexa built in. Oral-B released the Guide for
$230 in August 2020 but bricked the ability to set up or reconfigure
Alexa on the product this February. As of this writing, the Guide is
still available through a third-party Amazon seller.

Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella has hailed the company's new Recall
feature, which stores a history of your computer desktop and makes it
available to AI for analysis, as "photographic memory" for your PC.
Within the cybersecurity community, meanwhile, the notion of a tool
that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds
has been hailed as a hacker's dream come true and the worst product
idea in recent memory.Now, security researchers have pointed out that
even the one remaining security safeguard meant to protect that
feature from exploitation can be trivially defeated.

Managers today are leading up to five generations at the same time.
And that brings with it a new challenge: Poorly managed generational
differences between employees can be damaging, resulting in age bias,
negative impact on job attitudes, dysfunctional team dynamics, and
even lower levels of overall job performance. Well-managed
generational diversity has the potential to bring substantial
benefits, ranging from knowledge transfer and mentoring to innovation
and reduced turnover. It creates opportunities to develop something
even more invaluable: intergenerational workplace friendships.
Here’s how managers can help nurture these relationships:

June 2023 did not seem like an exceptional month at the time. It was
the warmest June in the instrumental temperature record, but monthly
records haven't exactly been unusual in a period where the top 10
warmest years on record have all occurred within the last 15 years.
And monthly records have often occurred in years that are otherwise
unexceptional; at the time, the warmest July on record had occurred in
2019, a year that doesn't stand out much from the rest of the past
decade.

The last time a human set the world record for solving a Rubik's Cube,
it was Max Park, at 3.13 seconds for a standard 3×3×3 cube, set in
June 2023. It is going to be very difficult for any human to pull off
a John Henry-like usurping of the new machine record, which is more
than 10 times faster, at 0.305 seconds. That's within the accepted
time frame for human eye blinking, which averages out to one-third of
a second.

Light painting is a technique used in both art and science that
involves taking long-exposure photographs while moving some kind of
light source—a small flashlight, perhaps, or candles or
glowsticks—to essentially trace an image with light. A UK
collaboration of scientists and artists has combined light painting
with low-cost air pollution sensors to visualize concentrations of
particulate matter (PM) in select locations in India, Ethiopia, and
Wales. The objective is to creatively highlight the health risks posed
by air pollution, according to a new paper published in the journal
Nature Communications.

In this era of political correctness and cancel culture, it's amazing
what you just can't say anymore. Like, for example, that the rule of
law is good and worthy of respect.That's what the Republican U.S.
Senate candidate Larry Hogan is finding out. Last week, minutes before
a jury announced that it had found former President Donald Trump
guilty of 34 felonies, Hogan, who is running in Maryland, posted on X:
"Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict
and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our
history, all leadersâregardless of partyâmust not pour fuel on the
fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this
nation great: the rule of law."
