Sam Bankman-Fried had to teach himself how to make facial expressions, Michael Lewis writes in his new book. The FTX cofounder questioned the whole point of making facial expressions in the first place, Lewis said. "One is facial expressions.

Emily Irwin, who works for Wells Fargo Bank, advises lottery winners on how to spend their money. She told Insider that people don't realize that winners are given very little support or guidance. First off, the lottery won't tell you whether to take the money as a lump sum or an annuity. To do this, start by assembling a trusted team of advisors, as the lottery won't provide one for you. Similarly, lottery winners shouldn't suddenly find themselves in the Olympics without proper training.

Google on Wednesday unveiled a next-generation Pixel smartphones lineup that will be infused with more artificial intelligence tools capable of writing captions about photos that can also be altered by the technology. As has become common across the industry, most of the other technology in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones unveiled Wednesday will be similar to what has already been available in last year’s models. One of the main selling points of the new phones will be improved cameras, including more AI-empowered editing tools that will mostly be available on the Pixel 8 Pro. That will result in the Pixel 8 selling for $700 and the Pixel 8 Pro for $1,000 when they go on sale in stores next week. Despite generally getting positive reviews, the Pixel phones have barely made a dent in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple since Google began making the devices seven years ago.

But instead of spelling the death of social media, it may be the beginning of a better era. Welcome to the Great Social Media Splintering. One recent study found social media could cause an increase in eating disorders and poor body image in men and women. The fatigue I have felt is therefore partly fueled by another, more-pressing concern: Which social network should I bank on? But until it emerges, I expect to continue living a splintered and nomadic online social life.

NEW YORK (AP) — While not one of the major food groups, a bagel and a schmear made of felt might satisfy your appetite for art. Cream cheese, butter, cold cuts, lox — anything that fits on the circular bread is fair game, Sparrow felt. “You are absolutely forcing people to interact with the art that you’re not usually supposed to do in the art galleries," Sparrow said. And while this isn’t her biggest installation, Sparrow admits “Feltz Bagels” presented some challenges. And, of course, the staple of any authentic New York bagel shop: the black and white cookie.

Creators don't just want massive followings on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube — they want to turn those audiences into loyal communities. But how does a creator move followers from one platform and engage them in a separate, more intimate space?

Some of these bots are intended to be educational tools — making classrooms interactive. Khanmigo and Hello HistoryThe Washington Post put one of these bots to the test, using Khan Academy's Khanmigo bot to "interview" Harriet Tubman, the US abolitionist.

ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter has always been a man of discipline and habit. The latest round includes a flood of messages from world leaders and pop culture figures donning “Jimmy Carter 99” hats, with many of them focusing on Carter’s four decades of global humanitarian work after leaving the Oval Office. The year Carter was born, Congress passed sweeping immigration restrictions, sharply curtailing Ellis Island as a portal to the nation. As governor and president, Carter set new marks for appointing Black Americans to top government posts.

Experts warn that boreout is "just as problematic" as burnout and can lead to quiet quitting. "Boreout is basically often the opposite extreme of burnout, but also can be just as problematic in terms of our work experience," Brodsky said in an interview with Insider. Boreout, when left untreated, can lead workers down the path to quiet quitting and disengagement. Monitoring employees leads to 'busyness theater'Some companies are keeping a closer eye on employees by using technology that monitors how much they're working. She explained it's a popular misconception that boreout comes from having inadequate work — workers can still get bored at companies where work piles up.

Toxic bosses are far too common: They're the reason 57% of employees have quit a job, according to one report. Robyn L. Garrett, an author and CEO of leadership coaching firm Beamably, has a "secret trick" for figuring out whether it's time to abandon ship. "We don't always know why we have negative feelings about the workplace, but if you've taken the time to define your values, it can make it much, much clearer." You should probably consider leaving your job if you are completely opposed to your boss's approach on a moral level. If they're stuck in their ways, you'll have to resort to changing your communication style to match theirs.

CNN —Trump-era Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark cannot move his Georgia election subversion case from state to federal court, a judge ruled Friday. All defendants in the Georgia case – including Clark, Trump and Meadows – pleaded not guilty. The three fake electors – former Georgia GOP chair David Shafer, sitting Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still, and former Coffee County GOP chair Cathy Latham – have pleaded not guilty. Lawyers for the three fake electors clashed with Fulton County prosecutors at a recent hearing about where their case should be tried. Several struck cooperation deals with prosecutors last year, and Willis said in a recent filing that at least four uncharged fake electors would be witnesses at trial.

To get there, the country needs to rope in young scientists, startups, investors, and private industry partners, none of whom respond well to a closed-off approach, senior ISRO scientists said. Publicising ISRO scientists' achievements has given them more confidence and brought space startups to the door, asking for guidance as they plan private launches. A more responsive agency makes such partnerships more attractive, private space insiders say. "Private industry does not need help, they need predictability," said D S Govindrajan, president of Aniara Communications, which provides satellite services for emerging markets. Modi's government, heading for elections next year, is pushing the development of India's space industry.

That’s according to new research, which looks at how people’s choice of Zoom background could be helping or hindering them. And we found that the living room and novelty backgrounds were the worst,” he said. Not everyone has a home office but yet there’s something that still seems a little unserious [about a home or novelty background]. “We found that generally smiling makes you look more trustworthy and competent, no matter what the background,” he said. “Female faces were also rated as more trustworthy and more competent, regardless of the background they were using,” the researchers wrote.
