This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Grace Leung, a digital growth consultant based in Vancouver. It’s been edited for length and clarity.Most business owners who hire me to integrate AI into their workflow are aware of AI trends like agents and automation, but they’re completely overwhelmed by it and have no idea where to begin. Their employees tend to have even less AI knowledge and just think of it as a basic chatbot.Other clients want to jump right into complicated AI tools without learning any of the building blocks. They’re trying to learn to fly before they…
The hepatitis B vaccine has emerged as the latest flashpoint as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to cast doubt on the safety of vaccines.The vaccine is routinely given to babies shortly after birth because hepatitis B — an incurable infection that can lead to liver disease, cancer and death — can be transmitted from mother to child during delivery.At a Senate Finance Committee hearing with Kennedy on Thursday, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said that providing the hepatitis B vaccine to all newborns “makes no sense to me,” especially if the mother tests negative for the virus.Marshall, an OB-GYN…
The AI boom has lit a fuse under San Francisco’s housing market, with prices and rents inflamed by a tech workforce increasingly returning to the office, and as the AI talent wars push salaries to dizzying highs.Tech workers are flocking to the Bay Area to work at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia after the region was dealt a massive blow during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gagan Biyani, the cofounder of Udemy, said on Monday that AI tools have allowed his new online learning platform, Maven, to rely less on interns to chew through grunt work.Biyani said in a LinkedIn post that he used to rely on a team of six interns to look for potential instructors they could add to Udemy.”Back then, our interns would manually scour YouTube and blogs to find potential instructors. They’d write custom outreach messages that I had to approve one by one,” Biyani wrote.”It was painful and inefficient. I spent as much time training the interns as I got value…
DENVER (AP) — Brian Callahan stands corrected — unlike the call he failed to challenge.The Titans’ second-year coach acknowledged Monday that he didn’t know the NFL catch rule Sunday when he didn’t throw his red challenge flag in Tennessee’s 20-12 loss at Denver after his rookie receiver made an acrobatic catch but was ruled to have come down out of bounds.On first-and-20 with the Titans trailing by a point late in the third quarter, Elic Ayomanor raced down the Tennessee sideline, leaped over cornerback Riley Moss and hauled in a 21-yard pass from Cam Ward.
