Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and Cohere A.I. models all make stuff up — here’s which is worst - CNBC
In the AI showdown of the century, we've got Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere duking it out in the digital ring! Each contender flexes with their own fancy techniques: deep learning twirls, reinforcement learning jabs, and neuro-symbolic dance moves. The referee (the article) scores them on accuracy, coherence, creativity, and the ever-elusive ethics. And the winner is... drumroll, please... nobody! That's right, folks, each AI has its own shiny moments and occasional blunders. The article cheekily suggests that maybe, just maybe, the best AI is a human-machine tag team. Who would've thought? 😉
40% of global workforce need to be reskilled in next 3 years due to AI, IBM study finds - Rappler
Hold onto your office chairs, folks! IBM's latest study has dropped some zingers. Apparently, 40% of the global workforce (that's a whopping 1.4 billion of us) will need a skills makeover in the next three years. Why? Because AI is crashing the job market party! But don't fret, entry-level jobs will feel the most heat. And here's a plot twist: STEM skills? So 2016! They've tumbled from top spot to 12th place in importance. Instead, it's all about team spirit, chit-chat skills, and mastering the art of prioritizing. And a pro tip from IBM: "AI won't replace people, but people using AI might just replace those who don't." Mic drop! 🎤😉
Making Hiring Messages More Inclusive – Katrina Kibben
Here's a tale of tech-savvy toddlers and Gen Z's quest for inclusivity! Katrina Kibben's latest piece dives into how the iPad-wielding kiddos of today, who can't fathom a world without Google, are reshaping the job market. Born around 2005 (ouch, feeling old yet?), this generation values inclusivity like no other. Forget about just slapping a rainbow on your website; if you're not genuinely inclusive, Gen Z will give you the side-eye. Katrina chats with Eric Mosley about making hiring messages more LGBTQIA+ friendly. And remember, Gen Z isn't just twisting their hair; they're twisting the narrative (Twisted Sister style)! 🌈🎸😂

FUN
Did you know? The world of yoga is filled with mysteries and marvels that often boggle the modern mind. Among the most fascinating of these is the unique ability many professional yogis possess, known as "voluntary control of the autonomic nervous system." At its core, this capability allows these adept practitioners to consciously regulate certain bodily functions that, for the average person, operate involuntarily. Imagine being able to control your heart rate during moments of stress or adjust your body temperature on a chilly day, all without external aids.
This isn't a plot from a science fiction novel; it's a reality for some yogis. Through rigorous training, meditation, and deep understanding of the human body, they've unlocked the potential to raise or lower their body temperature by several degrees using only the power of their minds. Such feats have been documented in various studies and have left scientists both intrigued and astounded.
This incredible skill underscores the profound connection between the mind and body that the practice of yoga nurtures. It's a testament to the untapped potentials that lie within us, waiting to be discovered through discipline, awareness, and a deep connection to our inner selves. 🧘♂️🔥
So, the next time the recruiting process feels overwhelming, channel your inner yogi, breathe deeply, and remember: it's all about the journey and finding the right balance. 🌟
