CNN —Imagine jumping on a train in southwestern China, traveling some 2,000 miles and arriving in Singapore – less than 30 hours later. Southeast Asia is the “obvious” choice because of its “proximity to China,” Bowerman adds. “Beijing, I think, ultimately wants to see Southeast Asian countries within its sphere of geopolitical influence. A staff member waits for passengers to board the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train during a week-long public trial phase at the Halim station in Jakarta on September 17, 2023. “In the example of a high-speed railway line between Malaysia and Singapore, Singapore would likely have just one stop – Malaysia would have more,” Wong told CNN.

An AI-generated image of the late Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoʻole is currently showing up as the top search result on Google when you search his name. Business Insider searched for "Israel Kamakawiwoʻole" on Sunday evening and found the AI-generated images continuing to appear as the top search results. Noah Giansiracusa, a professor at Bentley University, pointed out on X that the AI-generated images show Kamakawiwoʻole playing a guitar. Google told 404 Media a day later that it had removed the AI-generated image from search results.

☆ Want a four-day workweek? You’re not alone
  + stars: | 2023-11-07 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN —If you’ve always thought you might be happier with a four-day workweek, you’re hardly alone. While studies of four-day workweek experiments in the United States and Europe have found generally positive results in terms of employee productivity and well-being, it’s not necessarily a positive for everyone in every situation. Those who always have to work onsite might get a greater benefit from a four-day workweek because it provides an element of flexibility that they don’t have now. “Whereas, in remote-ready jobs, there is some built-in flexibility, which may create less need for a four-day workweek,” he noted. While the four-day workweek was the top pick overall in the newly released Gallup survey, when it comes to having a positive impact on well-being, two other options were not far behind.

  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
More companies are backtracking on earlier pledges to let employees work from home on a full or part-time basis. Across industries, major corporations including Disney, Twitter and Starbucks are requiring employees to spend more time at the office. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, is the latest leader to appear to reverse course after embracing remote work and criticizing return-to-office mandates. "Our hybrid approach empowers leaders to make decisions for their teams about how and where they work," a Salesforce spokesperson said in a statement. "And if leaders at big companies are adjusting their return to office policies, others will see that and think, 'I can do the same.'"

☆ Marijuana might hurt Elon Musk's productivity, but legalization has helped US workers find jobs and earn higher wages, a study finds
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
But a new study found legalization has had a positive impact on Americans' employment and wages. While 68% of the public supports legalization, the authors noted that there is disagreement about the impact it could have on workers' productivity and well being. Elon Musk in 2018: "I'm not a regular smoker of weed...I don't find that it is very good for productivity." The authors speculated the boost in the agriculture sector is tied to the introduction of the cannabis industry. Given marijuana legalization is a relatively new development, the authors said it will take time to decipher any long-run impacts on labor market performance, despite the positive early indicators from their research.
