Marc Andreessen said on the podcast Huberman Lab that fears around AI are overblown. The billionaire venture capitalist said that AI won't "decide to kill us all" and replace jobs. The real concern, he said, is the possibility that AI may end up in the hands of malicious actors. "A lot of the science-fiction scenarios are just not real," Andreessen said on an episode of Huberman Lab, a podcast led by Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist. "AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for solving problems, and we should embrace it as such," Andreessen wrote.

Fully remote jobs may be more vulnerable to new AI tech, one expert says. Stanford's Nicholas Bloom said AI was likely to impact "low-level, fully remote workers," per Fortune. Jobs that rely in some part on in-person work have less to fear from AI automation. "If I were fully remote, you could replicate me with AI," he said during the panel, which was reported by Fortune. "I think we're going to see a lot of impact [among] low-level, fully remote workers," he added.

Something to sip on…Kim Fields in a scene from "Living Single." Rather than rehash the fact that “Living Single” was “Friends” before “Friends” ever existed, lets applaud it for the glow-up and grow-up it showcased in Kim Fields. That’s why I have no problems jamming along to the new series “Dance with Qai Qai,” now running on YouTube. “It has been amazing to see how Qai Qai has captured the hearts of so many young fans so we’re thrilled to introduce them to ‘Dance with Qai Qai!,’” Williams said in a statement. We can’t wait for other families to get to watch—and dance—together!”It’s been wild watching Qai Qai go from one child’s beloved doll to a full-fledged star.

People take selfies beneath the Hollywood sign as the WGA (Writers Guild of America) strike continues on July 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. "A lot of different people are impacted surrounding the industry," Holmes says, "and it's causing them a lot of hardship." How long could the strike lastSome experts say the current strike could set the record for the longest writers' strike in Hollywood history. If strikes last until October, Holmes estimates the economic cost will total closer to $4 billion to $5 billion. The WGA represents 11,500 members, while SAG-AFTRA represents roughly 160,000 members.

The price hikes have led some beloved third-party Reddit apps such as Apollo to shut down, instigating an uproar among the website's community of volunteer moderators, who often rely on third-party apps to run the site's 100,000+ discussion communities, called subreddits. But tensions remain high, and some say that if Reddit doesn't rebuild trust, its most passionate users will go elsewhere. Ohanian rejoined Reddit as executive chairman in 2014 and Huffman rejoined as CEO the next year. But it's not just tech giants who use Reddit's API. These third-party apps are largely just alternatives to Reddit's official mobile app, which didn't even exist until 2016.

Alexis Ohanian recently told Entrepreneur he doesn't think anyone can accomplish work-life balance. Ohanian's point is that sometimes, work needs to be the priority — and other times, life needs to be. Alexis Ohanian (left), Olympia Ohanian (center), and Serena Williams. Ringo Chiu/Reuters"There are times in your life where you will need to focus on the career, the work," Ohanian said. So it's refreshing to hear Ohanian explicitly lay out that while routines and consistency are important, flexibility is also essential.

Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian shared his typical work and family routine. Before marriage, he said he was terrible at finding any semblance of balance between work and life. If you're chasing balance, you're implying, like Thanos, [that] you'd be able to create something perfectly balanced. "There are times in your life where you will need to focus on the career, the work," Ohanian says. That's why he's a big advocate for paid family leave; Ohanian wants all American families to have access to it.

Last week, Meta launched its latest social media venture, a Twitter alternative called Threads. For social media start-ups, attracting an audience is crucial to scaling a new product — but it can be near impossible to lure loyal users away from other platforms. New Threads accounts can easily migrate their information from Instagram, sharing their account data and username between the platforms. They have this pattern now of either launching or creating spin-off social media networks based on what's most popular at the time, then do it under their brand," Caraballo said. "It just is so dystopian to have one single person basically who oversees the entirety of all social media, at least in the Western world," Caraballo told Insider.

Washington CNN —In less than 48 hours, Meta’s Twitter rival Threads has surpassed 70 million sign-ups, upended the social media landscape and appears to have rattled Twitter enough that it is now threatening legal action against Meta. By promoting Threads through Instagram, and by sharing Instagram user data with Threads to let people instantly recreate their social networks, Meta has significantly greased the onboarding process. The issue isn’t limited to the realm of social media. Rather than viewing it through the lens of a social media market, one helpful way to look at the issue is from the perspective of the advertising market, he said. That could lead to further antitrust scrutiny for Meta even if the question about competition in social media is ambiguous.

Another sports powerhouse has joined the ownership ranks of the golf league being developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Woods, McIlroy and McCarley founded TMRW Sports Group (pronounced "tomorrow") last year in partnership with the PGA Tour. At the time, it was seen as a response to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league, which was embroiled in a bitter legal fight with the PGA Tour. This month, however, the PGA Tour and LIV agreed to merge business interests to form a new company. McIlroy is one of the biggest public critics of LIV, and Woods reportedly rejected a massive offer to join the Saudi-funded league.

A head-spinning week of revelations in the golf world continued Thursday as the Williams sisters’ Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) were announced as the first franchise of the TGL – Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s tech-infused stadium golf competition set to launch in January 2024.

June 8 (Reuters) - In a week that has seen a reshaping of golf's landscape a new player emerged on Thursday with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Serena and Venus Williams securing the first franchise in the TGL, the tech-forward team golf league developed by Tiger Woods. "I knew I wanted to do this team and I knew I wanted to bring Serena in so I was like, babe come on board," Ohanian told Reuters. Ohanian, Serena and her sister Venus are the first of what will be six team ownership groups that will make up TGL, an innovative, new primetime golf league that fuses technology and live action. For the Williams sisters, who emerged from the hard-scrabble streets of Compton to reign over the tennis world, TGL will represent another opportunity to give back to their community and open more doors in another sport. While he is a board member of the Tiger Woods Foundation, Ohanian said golf was not on his radar until Olympia began taking up the sport.
