Where to play it Where HSBC analysts are looking is in Chinese AI hardware stocks. Its customers also include Nvidia and U.S. and Chinese cloud companies. Based on in-person company visits — which revealed about a third had "lousy management" and not investable — he's decided to focus on Chinese AI and green energy companies. His watchlist of about 90 Chinese AI companies has more than doubled in value this year, Ogan said, noting his firm only owns a handful. However, publicly disclosed figures show the AI company only made net revenue of $48.2 million in 2022, with a net loss of $6 million.

CNN —Wayne Brady, known for hosting the TV show “Let’s Make a Deal,” has announced that he is pansexual. “I advocate mental health for all and a part of that is self transparency. Brady began his self-discovery journey after actor Robin Williams’ death in 2014, when he became vocal about mental health, he told People. On social media, Brady called it “ironic” that he frequently brings joy to others on TV, but doesn’t experience it much himself. “If I’m healthy, then I can go onstage at ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ and be the best Wayne Brady that everybody wants and expects … and one day, the best partner to someone, because I’m doing this for me,” he told People.

Gaslighting: What it really is and how to address it

The concept of gaslighting originated from the 1944 film “Gaslight” and the 1938 play on which it was based. Signs you’re being gaslitThere are other common misconceptions about the nature of gaslighting, experts said. What pushes these behaviors into gaslighting territory has to do with what the person you’re dealing with says and their intentions behind it. The degree to which a person gaslights someone else can vary, but gaslighting is always emotional abuse, whether intentional or not, experts said. Talking to a therapist can help you get an objective perspective and see more clearly any signs of gaslighting behavior and psychological abuse, Kennedy said.

But it was the repeated use of the word holistic - or "bütüncül" - by the former Goldman Sachs banker and Turkey's first female central bank chief that caught most of the attention. "We are making the gradual and steady rate hikes more holistic and stronger through quantitative tightening and selective credit tightening," Erkan told the news conference. "Unless the credit and monetary tightening really kick in, investors would expect the central bank to hike more aggressively," he said. "She clearly wants to be the face of Turkish monetary policy making," said Neuberger Berman's Nazli. "We saw a person who seems to be capable of being a central bank governor, compared to previous governors, but cautious."

New York CNN —Environmental, social and corporate governance, or ESG, investing is on a downward spiral. But in 2022, the pace of inflows quickly eased as a confluence of political, geopolitical and market events severely damaged interest in ESG investing. ESG investing took off and became a buzzword — the “artificial intelligence of six years ago,” said Jenkins. Alphabet reported revenue of $74.6 billion, marking a 7% jump compared to last year and beating Wall Street’s estimates. Banc of California reported a much smaller decline in net income of $2.4 million last quarter.

July 19 (Reuters) - Apple (AAPL.O) is working on artificial intelligence (AI) offerings similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, sending its shares up as much as 2% to a record high. Apple has, however, subtly pushed advanced AI in some of its products such as Apple Photos, on device texting, and the recently launched mixed-reality headset Vision Pro. Apple's core AI product, voice assistant Siri, has also stagnated over the years. The Bloomberg report said several teams are involved in the latest AI effort, which is led by John Giannandrea, the company's head of machine learning and AI, and Craig Federighi, Apple's top software engineering executive. Employees say the tool essentially replicates Bard, ChatGPT and Bing AI, and works as a web application.

July 17 (Reuters) - Investments in space startups stayed flat in the second quarter, a positive sign for a sector that faced a funding slump over the past few quarters due to the grim economic outlook, a report by venture capital firm Space Capital showed. The April-June period saw $6 billion in investments in 91 firms, compared with $2.2 billion in the previous three months and $5.9 billion a year earlier, the report, released on Monday, stated. That marks a big improvement from declines of 53% and 52% in the first quarter and 2022, respectively. "The era of free money is over and companies are beginning to adapt to this new normal," Space Capital said, adding that the pickup in financial markets has helped the space industry.

AI could transform business like the internet – or end up in the tech graveyard like the Metaverse. Companies will have a chance to show that their increased spending on AI tech helped them make more money, over the quarter in which ChatGPT fully established itself in the public consciousness. Zealots have used early success stories like Nvidia, Tesla, and other mega-cap names to argue that AI is like a new version of the internet – technology that outlasts a period of initial hype, and then transforms the way that business is done forever. But for every dot-com boom there's so-called "disruptive tech" like crypto or the Metaverse – fads that end up losing companies money, rather than boosting their profits. In other words, soon companies will have to show that AI can raise their profits like the internet did – or else it'll be consigned to the tech graveyard like the Metaverse was.

CNN —Scientists have identified the geological site that they say best reflects a proposed new epoch called the Anthropocene — a major step toward changing the official timeline of Earth’s history. “We’ve moved into this new Earth state and that should be defined by a new geological epoch,” Waters added. On Tuesday, the scientists announced the geological site — Crawford Lake in Ontario, Canada — that best captures the geological impact of the Anthropocene, according to their research. Annual sediment samples from the Crawford Lake site have revealed geochemical traces of nuclear bomb testing, researchers have confirmed. The alpha spectrometry output shown on the screen indicates the presence of plutonium in a Crawford Lake drill core sample.

Billionaires like Google's Eric Schmidt are betting big on AI through their family offices. Insider talked to family office insiders to learn how to find real deals amid the hype cycle. So many startups are claiming to use AI that family offices are wary of "AI washing" when considering direct venture deals, according to Karl Rogers, chief investment officer at Irish family office Elkstone. But they are still circumspect, he said, as family offices typically prioritize long-term wealth preservation over aggressive growth. "Hype cycles tend to imply immediate returns, which is contrary to how family offices usually think," said Hsu, whose fund counts the Pritzker family as investors.

Chicago CNN —President Joe Biden’s top economic advisers believe the worst effects of inflation are in the rear-view mirror. “I didn’t come up with a name,” he said, crediting the news media for inventing the term Bidenomics. The debt ceiling impasse also needed to be resolved and Biden’s key economic legislation needed to begin to be implemented. Now, officials see Bidenomics as an opportunity to tie together the president’s economic accomplishments, the vision behind those policies and a growing economy under one term. But it’s working.”But when faced with the question of whether “Bidenomics” can be the answer to changing public perception of the president’s record, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered a frank reply: “We’re going to try.

The tool touts some impressive capabilities, and spurred an AI race with rival Google announcing it's own chat box - Bard AI - only a few months later. Now some with little to no historical ties to artificial intelligence have touted the technology on conference calls to analysts and investors. McMullen specifically pointed to how AI could help streamline customer surveys and help Kroger take the data and implement it into stores at a more speedy clip.

Gallup says "quiet quitting," in which workers do the bare minimum, is a global phenomenon. Forty-four percent of respondents also said they'd experienced stress at work the previous day. Gallup's 2023 State of the Global Workplace report surveyed 122,416 employed respondents ages 15 and over in more than 160 countries from 2022 to 2023 and concluded that 59% of the workers worldwide were "quiet quitting." The report used respondents' answers to a series of 12 questions to split those surveyed into three categories at work: engaged, not engaged, and actively disengaged. Gallup's report estimated that such low engagement at work was costing the global economy $8.8 trillion, or 9% of global gross domestic product.

Why, when we think of climate change, do we think of big oil, not big ag; Exxon and not Tyson? It’s time you met the big ag lobby, one of the most powerful influences on policy in America. But when we started digging into the big ag lobby, we discovered it’s basically — “The most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. So the big ag lobby has one key aim — block environmental regulation. I absolutely envy how good these lobbyists are at their job.” It’s outrageous what the big ag lobby has gotten away with.
