Business Insider wants more of its employees to use ChatGPT, and to use it more often in their everyday work. That was the message from an all-hands meeting at the end of April, during which several employees presented on how they have folded ChatGPT into their workflow, and leadership encouraged experimentation among holdouts on staff.

 

After the collapse of the USSR, the archives of the security services were never opened. Society never learned the names of the KGB’s secret informants, whose numbers likely reached into the hundreds of thousands. Some of these agents continued to assist the security services, now under a new guise. Proekt investigates the grim legacy of the Leningrad KGB’s informant network-a story that began in close proximity to Russia’s current ruler, Vladimir Putin, and continues to this day. In this account, politics, intelligence agencies, sex, violence, and death intersect.

Klarna (a once darling Fin-Tech startup company) is now demonstrating spiraling losses as they attempt to create a micro loan financing business that essentially enables irresponsible spending with zero accountability.

Debt purchasing for major and impactful items (such as cars, or houses) can be justified in myriad ways, but debt purchasing of chipotle burritos and apple airpods, cannot. If a business constructs its entire premise around lending to people who should not be spending in the first place, I don't think anyone should be shocked when that business loses large amounts of money.

The Doomed Economics of Klarna, should be visible a mile away. Buy Now, Pay Later, should be more accurately referred to as "Buy Now, Pay Never"

The source is the No Azure For Apartheid post.

They are basing their article on this Instagram source, with the rest of the article is just them yapping and asking Microsoft for a comment.

The No Azure for Apartheid (NOAA) protest group reports that “dozens of Microsoft workers” have been unable to send emails with the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” and “Genocide” in email subject lines or in the body of a message.

The Oliver Wyman Forum survey, a think tank from consulting firm Oliver Wyman, which polled 16,000 participants from 16 countries, found that 32% of respondents would be interested in using AI instead of a real person to manage their mental health. The survey shows that interest in getting AI therapists was highest in countries like India, which generally has fewer mental health professionals per capita.

In my opinion, if your are tired from that, then you are better served by subscribing to a topic under the technology umbrella(Cyber security, hardware, software,... etc) , rather than the general technology community.

The dependency does not change based on the form.

When you take a pill, you have a hard number about how much caffeine did you just ingest. On the other hand, you don't get that at all with the normal coffee.
