Humans are good at inventing tools, but not as good at adapting to the
change these tools can cause. While there has been much focus on the
technical impacts and potential dark side of AI, the authors’
research has shown that AI can enhance and empower leadership,
actually helping make leaders more human. To do this, we need to
invest just as much in the development of our human potential as we do
in harnessing the power of AI. This means focusing on the core
leadership qualities of awareness, wisdom, and compassion, as well as
taking on a both/and mindset. The “AI-augmented leader” can
leverage both the power of AI and develop their most human qualities,
bringing the best of both human and machine to their leadership
practice.

Sands swept over the tracks, which stayed buried for millennia, until
21st-century archaeologists uncovered nearly 600 of the footprints.
Based on the size and shape of prints that likely had been laid within
a few days, researchers reconstructed a unique snapshot of a
Neanderthal community: A few adults accompanied about 10 teens and
children, including a 2-year-old.But thanks to the Normandy footprints
and to new clues from methods such as ancient DNA, the mysteries of
Neanderthals’ relationships have recently started to resolve. The
emerging evidence suggests Neanderthals formed tightknit communities,
but may have been relative introverts, compared to our Homo sapiens
ancestors. They lived “cozy, but without parties,” as
archaeologist Penny Spikens, of the University of York in the U.K.,
puts it.

In the annals of human history, a subtle but relentless pulse has
marked our anthropogenic impact on Earth. Since the industrial
revolution dawned in 1850, our planet has steadily warmed each year ,
with the rate tripling since 1982. By the year 2050, experts estimate
we’ll see a 2.7 degree Celsius average temperature rise—and a
cascade of ecological repercussions.According to the study published
in the journal Nature, humans are even more sensitive to temperature
shifts than previously thought: Indeed, we can perceive temperature
differences as small as 0.9°C with surprising accuracy. “Whether or
not you’re aware of it, you are actually sensitive to it
biologically,” says Laura Battistel, a cognitive and brain sciences
student at the University of Trento who led the study.

Hamas Has Reinvented Underground Warfare - Foreign Affairs (No

When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, it dragged Israel into one of
the worst underground wars ever. By now, it is abundantly clear that
the scale of Hamas’s subterranean complex is unprecedented and that
the use of tunnels has contributed to casualties among civilians and
soldiers. More consequentially, by sustaining underground operations
over months, Hamas has delayed an Israeli victory, causing
unimaginable diplomatic and political costs along the way.In terms of
tunnel warfare, the only war that compares is World War I, in which
countless British and German soldiers died trying to expose, mine, and
dig tunnels. No other use of tunnels in warfare comes close—neither
the entrenchment of Osama bin Laden in the mountains of Afghanistan
that enabled him to evade U.S. forces and plan attacks undetected; nor
that of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in Mali, where tunnels were
used in launching attacks from nearly impregnable underground
hideouts; nor that of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS), which
used tunnels to conduct attacks on U.S.-led multinational forces in
Iraq and Syria. Hamas’s use of tunnels is so advanced that it more
closely resembles how states use underground structures to protect
command-and-control centers than what is typical for nonstate actors.

The United States has begun a green industrial transformation. The
Inflation Reduction Act of August 2022—which, despite its name,
includes many measures intended to address climate
change—jump-started investment in U.S. clean energy manufacturing.
In the first quarter of 2022, investment in U.S. clean energy
manufacturing was $4 billion; in the first quarter of 2024 it was $17
billion, a 325 percent increase in just two years. The IRA has been a
boon especially to the supply chain for electric vehicles. U.S.
battery production is expected to jump from 257 gigawatt-hours in 2023
to over 1,000 gigawatt-hours by 2030: enough batteries for ten million
vehicles per year, roughly the number produced in the United States
annually.This battery boom is changing the geography and the politics
of clean energy manufacturing. In a clever political play, the IRA,
which was championed by progressives, has disproportionately benefited
workers in politically conservative regions. The Net Zero Industrial
Policy Lab at Johns Hopkins University found that 80 percent of
announced U.S. battery production capacity will be in Republican-held
congressional districts. Nationwide, the majority of the 400,000 jobs
that the IRA is expected to create will end up in red areas
represented by Republicans. Consider the state of Georgia, for
example, which is on track to become the largest producer of battery
cells in the United States. Although it is a purple state, where
politicians from both major parties hold top offices, all of its
battery plants are in Republican-held districts.

the Bibi Derangement Syndrome—the other BDS—that afflicts much of

'Concern is real' about long Covid's impact on Americans and

The Covid pandemic has been called a “mass-disabling event” since
early on — the kind of once-in-a-generation public health crisis
that could shape millions of people’s lives forever. But while more
people self-identified as disabled since the pandemic began,
applications for disability benefits have stayed level, according to
data from the Social Security Administration. However, long Covid is
difficult to map onto the agency’s existing eligibility requirements
for disability insurance, says Stephanie Rennane, an economist at the
RAND Corporation who’s studied disability benefits. “The severity
and duration of the condition can vary a lot, and in ways that we
can’t fully predict yet. Even after 4 years, the research landscape
in this area is evolving quickly and summary reports like this are a
helpful way to translate the state of knowledge into something
actionable for policymakers,” she said in an email.

The question, I admit, was an abstraction—a philosophical debate
that I found interesting to consider but that I didn’t apply, in any
serious way, to my own life. Later, and in much the same way, I
followed debates about anti-natalism spurred by the work of the South
African philosopher David Benatar, who argues, in a seeming perversion
of Buddhist thought, that it is immoral to have children because so
much of life is suffering. Then, when the timing felt right, my wife
and I had our first child. Six years later, we decided to have a
second. We liked the idea of giving our daughter a sibling.These
weren’t decisions based on a lot of rational calculation. We did
factor in whether we could afford to have children, but even those
considerations felt a bit post hoc—if we hadn’t been able to
provide for the kids and maintain our basic standard of living, we
probably would’ve just convinced ourselves that we could, and we
would have made do. Most couples, I suspect, make such decisions more
or less this way, because there is never really a perfect time, and,
unless you’re fabulously wealthy, there is never really enough
money. Child rearing, for us, is mostly pleasant, and largely
straightforward; the kids have needs and we try our best to meet them.
This is called a blessing and a privilege. It is also, for me, I’ve
come to realize, called being a man. My wife thought much more about
the ethical implications of having children than I did.

The Online Harms Act states that any person who advocates for or
promotes genocide is “liable to imprisonment for life.” It defines
lesser “hate crimes” as including online speech that is “likely
to foment detestation or vilification” on the basis of race,
religion, gender, or other protected categories. And if someone
“fears” they may become a victim of a hate crime, they can go
before a judge, who may summon the preemptively accused for a sort of
precrime trial. If the judge finds “reasonable grounds” for the
fear, the defendant must enter into “a recognizance.”The proposed
law, the result of efforts that began in 2019 after a terrorist attack
in New Zealand, does many other things too. One section concerns the
obligations of online platforms to police content. Another bears on
the worthy goal of protecting children from viewing pornography and
stopping the distribution of child-sexual-abuse material, raising the
odds that the bill will pass with too little attention to its worst
provisions. (In February, it passed its first reading in the House of
Commons. Becoming law would require a second and third reading in that
body, where amendments can be proposed; passage in the national
Senate; and approval by the governor general.)

In an April phone conversation, Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued a
stern admonition to President Joe Biden. Washington’s ban on the
export of American advanced microchips and other sanctions designed
“to suppress China’s trade and technology development” are
“creating risks.” If Biden “is adamant on containing China’s
high-tech development,” the official Chinese readout went on,
Beijing “is not going to sit back and watch.”Imagine for a moment
how humiliating that exchange must have been for Xi Jinping. Xi is not
supposed to suffer such indignities. His propaganda machine portrays
him as an all-knowing sage who will lead China to a new era of global
greatness. His word is practically law, and such a warning as he gave
Biden would have induced fear and obedience among his compatriots. Yet
the American leader not only stood firm; he even went on to lecture
the Chinese dictator.

Only two drugs are formally approved for post-traumatic stress
disorder, or PTSD, and they don'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 don'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 wasn'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.

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.

Workers Are Concerned About AI Taking Their Jobs. Should Managers Be

But should they be the only ones feeling the heat? A new announcement
by the workplace management software company Asana suggests that
managers, too, may eventually see some of their responsibilities
automated. The San Francisco-based firm is launching what it calls
"AI teammates," which are essentially chatbots that can "advise on
priorities, power workflows, and even take action on work."
 Leveraging Asana's proprietary "work graph" data model--which links
"work and workflows to higher level company objectives"--the bots are
supposedly capable of assigning projects, triaging tasks, and
identifying issues that stand in the way of team success.Asana says
one early adopter, an outdoor ad firm, is already using AI teammates
to automate aspects of its request process, including delegating tasks
to specific employees and helping with client research. Another Asana
customer, a cybersecurity firm, has reportedly used the software to
enforce internal naming conventions and translate content to ensure
brand consistency.

Back in 2010, the U.S. had around 12 million more unemployed people
than it had job vacancies, senior McKinsey partner Anu Madgavkar said
during the consultancy’s media day last week. “Despite the ups and
downs of Covid, things are more normal now, but we still have a
deficit—2.5 million more vacancies than job seekers.”That
imbalance, coupled with the ever-present advancements in AI, has led
to what Madgavkar calls a “skills tsunami.” She defined the term
as the massive shift in capabilities workers are soon going to need.
There’s also, she added, a “silver tsunami,” which describes the
institutional loss of talent and perspective as millions of older
workers head into retirement.

The European Union is expected to unveil tariffs in the coming weeks

subsidies, a move that will likely hurt the small-but-growing number
of imports into Europe. China has hinted it will retaliate with its
own 25% tariffs, as trade tensions continue to escalate.BYD has risen
to become a dominant player in the EV industry, having halted
production of cars solely with combustion engines in early 2022. By
last year, the Shenzhen-based auto giant made and sold 3 million
electric and hybrid vehicles, cracking the top 10 list of global

billion pesos raised in April from the sale of about 28% stake in its
REIT unit to the billionaire Sy family’s SM Investments, Saavedra
said Citicore Renewable now has the funding to deliver the initial
1,000 megawatts, a fifth of his target. CREC shares started trading
today on the Philippine Stock Exchange. The shares gained as much as
3% to 2.78 pesos apiece, before closing at its IPO price of 2.70
pesos.The IPO also opened the doors to a stream of financing that will
bankroll CREC’s annual 36-billion-peso capital expenditure needed to
deliver 1,000 megawatts of new capacity every year. It had 118
megawatts of solar energy capacity in 2023. It is also developing wind
and hyrdopower projects.

an exports surge, revved up in the first quarter of 2024, logging a
6.5% rise, the fastest pace in almost three years. The benchmark Taiex

making him the biggest gainer in both dollar and percentage terms, as

WESTERN CHAINS used to dominate casual dining and drinking in China.
The arrival of a Kentucky Fried Chicken in a Chinese city was once
regarded as a developmental milestone. Today China is home to 10,000
KFCs (whose owner, Yum China, was spun off from its American parent in
2016), more than twice the number in America. Starbucks has 7,000
coffee shops and McDonald’s boasts 6,000 burger joints. The
foreigners’ cash and cachet made it hard for locals to compete.Now
the tables are turning. Starbucks’s Chinese sales fell by 8% in the
first quarter, year on year, and Yum China reported a drop of 3%. Yet
even as they lose their appetite for foreign chains, Chinese consumers
cannot get enough of domestic ones. Tastien, which fills hamburgers
with local delicacies such as Peking duck or mapo tofu rather than
beef, has opened 1,600 new shops in the past six months, bringing its
total to 7,000. Wallace, another burger-flipper, now has more than
20,000. Cotti, a two-year-old coffee-shop chain, plans to have that
many by the end of 2025, up from 6,000 last October. An older
caffeine-pedlar, Luckin, opened 8,000 in 2023, doubling its network.
Mixue hawks its bubble tea through 36,000 outlets.

THE ROBOTS are coming! In science fiction that is usually an ominous
warning. In the real world, it is a prediction—and a welcome one.
The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year,
as researchers in universities and industry have applied advances in
artificial intelligence (AI) to machines. The same technology that
enables chatbots like ChatGPT to hold conversations, or systems like
DALL-E to create realistic-looking images from text descriptions, can
give robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade.As a result, robots
are becoming more capable, easier to program and able to explain what
they are doing. Investors are piling into robotics startups. OpenAI,
the creator of ChatGPT, which gave up on robots a few years ago, has
changed its mind and started hiring a new robotics team. When brought
to bear upon the physical world, previously disembodied AI now appears
to have enormous potential.

'the best cookbook in the world'.Cambodian (also known as Khmer)
cuisine consists of subtle curries and fresh flavours, yet despite its
palate-pleasing complexity, it has barely made it onto the

with contemporary female chefs making it their mission to preserve and
share Khmer recipes and ingredients that were nearly lost during the
brutal Khmer Rouge period of the 1970s, when many restrictions were
placed on local foods, from eating to farming.

novel craze, and while the books weren’t the most sophisticated,
their film adaptations brought the industry closer to prestige than
ever. The Hunger Games and its sequels felt like “real” movies:
aesthetically and narratively complex, and featuring a caliber of
actors few expected to see in YA dystopia. When the franchise made a

it reaffirmed just how much potential it still had. The fans who’d

Up until now, one of Square Enix’s best modern series has been
strangely hard to play. In 2018, Octopath Traveler launched on
Nintendo Switch, before coming to PC the next year and Xbox One two
years after that. Octopath Traveler 2 hit Switch, PlayStation, and PC
in 2023, avoiding Xbox entirely. That meant that unless you were
playing on Switch or PC, you couldn’t play both parts of the
excellent series on the same platform — but that changes now.
Starting June 6, the original Octopath Traveler is finally on
PlayStation and its followup is on Xbox. Not only that, but both
Octopath Traveler games are coming to Xbox Game Pass for the occasion,
so you can experience two of the best RPGs in recent years with your
subscription.You don’t actually need to play the original Octopath
Traveler before playing the sequel. Both games tell separate stories,
each following a cast of eight distinct characters on their own
quests. One critique that both games faced is that its eight cast
members’ missions, while interesting in their own right, don’t
intersect in a particularly satisfying way. Despite that, their
individual stories are fascinating on their own and well worth
following.

pieces of lore that he thought players should be familiar with before
Dawntrail, so we’ll help break everything down.During a group Q&A

familiar with, and Yoshida, at first, seemed cagey on answering. After

Alliance Raid, would probably allow for some background information
into more of the lore.”

House of the Dragon is, for lack of a better phrase, a tragic farce.
Where Game of Thrones itself felt like an all-encompassing riff on
Shakespeare’s history plays — complete with The Bard’s crude
humor and plenty of smug narrative twists — its prequel series could
be classified more as a comedy of errors. Sure, it leans smarter than
the medieval fantasy that kick-started our collective obsession with
dragons, betrayal, and a good platinum wig. But its central conflict,
and the characters caught within it, are actually... kinda stupid.
That stupidity often makes for great television, though, especially as
the blindsiding events of Season 1 give way to all-out dragon war in
Season 2.With an action-packed return, House of the Dragon doubles
down on everything that worked in its inaugural season. The meticulous
melodrama finally gives way to the harrowing dread of a vicious civil
war — and though it’s still slow to unleash the bloody battles
fans have been waiting for, a game cast and transfixing tension allows
this season to burn much hotter than its predecessor.

to CEO Carl Pei, the next generation of Nothing’s flagship phone has
some big ideas, and to no one’s surprise, they could center around
— dramatic pause — AI. So what does Nothing have to bring to the
increasingly cacophonous AI conversation? At the risk of speaking too
soon, it sounds like quite a bit, actually.

AI chatbots have been a popular tool for getting in-depth answers, but
they haven’t come without flaws — Google Search’s AI Overview
recommending that people add glue to their sauce to prevent cheese
from sliding off their pizza, for example.We would hope most people
have the common sense to not do this in the first place, but it would
be even better if there were a way to avoid nonsensical responses
altogether. That’s where Microsoft’s AutoGen framework could come
in, which uses multiple AI chatbots that can talk to and double-check
each other to ensure a quicker, more reliable response.

It may seem unbelievable, but we’re already near the end of the
first season of Doctor Who in years. Despite a season numbering reset,
a new Doctor, and a new streaming home, returning showrunner Russell
T. Davies has helped make these episodes feel like classic Doctor Who
stories. But before we get to the thrilling two-part finale — and a
conclusion to that mysterious recurring cameo — there’s one more
adventure left, and it looks awfully familiar.Doctor Who Season 1 (or
Season 14 if you’re a stickler) Episode 6, “Rogue,” will
premiere on Disney+ on June 7, 2024. Sci-fi fans will be especially
spoiled by Disney+ over the next few weeks, as new episodes of the
Star Wars series The Acolyte premiere on Wednesdays and Doctor Who
premieres on Fridays.

In October 2023, Max premiered the first season of Scavengers Reign.
The series, a dark sci-fi adventure show about the crew of a cargo
ship that crash land on an alien planet with no hope of being rescued,
quickly became one of the most acclaimed new TV arrivals of the year.
It was universally adored by everyone who watched it, and it's not
hard to see why. Scavengers Reign announces itself early in its first
season as one of the most distinct and beautifully realized pieces of
sci-fi media in recent memory, and every one of its subsequent
episodes delivers on the promise of those initial few
chapters.Nonetheless, Scavengers Reign was canceled earlier this year
by Max, much to the dismay and disappointment of its fans. Netflix, to
its credit, swooped in and picked up the series. The streaming service
has offered Scavengers Reign another chance by giving its first season
a new home and leaving the door open for a second if it performs well
enough.

Technology has made great in-roads in reducing food waste from the
farm. But it is only a start.An estimated 30 percent of produce in
America never makes it off the farm. That means that for every two
heads of iceberg lettuce shipped to a grocery store, one is left to
rot. Likewise, for every two bunches of spinach or celery, for every
two ears of sweet corn, for every pair of tomatoes, one is allowed to
sit unharvested.
