☆ I quit Amazon Prime and it was way easier than I expected. It's made me reevaluate everything.

Last June, on a whim, I canceled Amazon Prime. I still regularly buy things from Amazon with free shipping, but I'm happily out on Prime. After canceling Prime, I've been able to reevaluate the necessity of that ultra-fast, free shipping and have found it mostly unneeded. AdvertisementLeaving Prime also meant the end of free Amazon Prime Video, but I've been able to bear it. If Amazon Prime members started reconsidering and discarded the service en masse, it would be trouble for the company.

☆ ChatGPT isn't good enough to take jobs and is unlikely to cause mass layoffs: 'The hot takes have run into reality'
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-15 | by ( Alex Kantrowitz | Douglas Gorman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Kantrowitz writes that AI is still not good enough to handle most jobs. As soon as artificial intelligence began to read, write, and code, all manner of professions were supposed to automate — fast. AI technology, however impressive, is still not good enough to handle most jobs. Such complexity exists in every field, so anytime you see a company announce that it's replacing workers with AI, read that with some skepticism. To be sure, there will be jobs affected by this wave of AI, as when any new technology arrives.

Persons: Meta's, Big, Alex Kantrowitz Alex Kantrowitz Organizations: Big Technology, Twitter

For Yavuz and his counterparts, there's serious appeal in having another ad-supported app inside Meta's ad manager. Once Meta adds a check box to extend ads to Threads, ad buyers will check it. Facebook's ads, technology, and interfaces are much better than Twitter's," said Trevor Dudeck, CEO of ad agency Lemonade. "If it's just the same thing as Instagram, that's not going to be as enticing," said one executive at a major digital advertising agency. When Zuckerberg inevitably adds the Threads checkbox to Meta's ad platform, it'll be ominous for Twitter's flailing ad business.
