In an analysis of professions "most exposed" to the latest advances in large language models like ChatGPT, eight of the top 10 are teaching positions. Post-secondary teachers in English language and literature, foreign language, and history topped the list among educators. Jobs most 'exposed' to generative AI Rank Profession 1 Telemarketers 2 English Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary 3 Foreign Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary 4 History Teachers, Postsecondary 5 Law Teachers, Postsecondary 6 Philosophy and Religion Teachers, Postsecondary 7 Sociology Teachers, Postsecondary 8 Political Science Teachers, Postsecondary 9 Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Teachers, Postsecondary 10 SociologistsSource: "How will Language Modelers like ChatGPT Affect Occupations and Industries?" But affected jobs – or as the study officially describes it, jobs most "exposed to AI" – does not necessarily mean the human positions will be replaced. And for topics that are very dense, "ChatGPT can even help educators translate some of those lessons or takeaways in simpler language," he said.

First Citizens Bank, the company that bought the assets of SVB, is run by a family with a wealth of experience buying failed banks. Forbes looked at the billionaire family that's guided First Citizens' purchase of more than 20 small banks since 2008. First Citizens will be among the largest 20 banks in the US with the SVB deal. Its purchases of failed banks include First Regional Bank and Temecula Valley Bank in California and Denver-based United Western Bank. Its assets jumped from $109 billion just before the SVB deal and have increased from $16.7 billion at the end of 2008.
☆ Premarket stocks: Banking chaos has been bittersweet for crypto and wine
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
But it also gave the fine wine and crypto industry a big boost as panicking investors rushed out of the financial sector and into alternative assets. Bittersweet banking: SVB lent over $4 billion to winery clients since 1994, with over 400 wine industry clients (including wineries, vineyards and vendors) working with the bank’s premium wine division, according to the bank’s website. Recent SEC filings, meanwhile, indicated SVB had about $1.2 billion in outstanding loans to high-end wine clients when the bank collapsed. Circle, the company behind popular stablecoin USDC, said it had about $3.3 billion of its $40 billion in reserves at SVB. The collapse of Signature Bank, a major crypto lender, also had serious implications for the industry.

The rise in generative AI tools like ChatGPT has created a hot market for "prompt engineers." Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, has spoken about the need for prompt engineers. Anna Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copy.ai, was a freelance writer and historical research assistant before she started working with AI tools. Prompt marketplace PromptBase, which launched last June, allows people to hire prompt engineers or sell their prompts. Don't dwell too much on the current state of prompt engineering.

Another company is piloting a four-day workweek, and it could make a shortened week the norm within Corporate America. Exos is a coaching company that trains pro athletes and runs corporate wellness programs at 25% of the Fortune 100, including Intel, Capital One and Humana. One clear rule: You can't message other people or try to set up meetings for Fridays, Robb O'Hagan says. Exos, a coaching company that trains pro athletes and runs corporate wellness programs, will pilot a 4-day workweek in May. "At the end of the six months, we're committed to continuing with the four-day workweek unless there's such extreme negative results that we'd choose otherwise."
☆ A Wharton professor had AI chatbots work on a business project for 30 minutes — Bing wrote 1,757 words in under 3 minutes, and ChatGPT wrote code to build an entire website
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Sarah Jackson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A Wharton professor ran an experiment to test how much AI tools could accomplish in just 30 minutes. Ethan Mollick tasked ChatGPT and the new Bing with working on a business project. ChatGPT wrote HTML code to build a website, and Bing wrote 7 pages of text in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. "I am sure humans could have done better, but they could not have been as fast," Mollick wrote of his experiment. Mollick made headlines earlier this year for requiring that his students use ChatGPT, while many schools and colleges ban such AI tools, citing concerns that they'll facilitate plagiarism.

The Federal Reserve's reluctance to cut interest rates this year is a mistake, according to Wharton School professor Jeremy Siegel. Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced during his press conference Wednesday that despite tightening lending conditions from the banking sector crisis, "rate cuts are not in our base case." He added that Fed policy has been "overkill" on inflation. "I'm just wondering — oh my God, [Powell's] not even thinking about lowering interest rates given what I think the economy is facing under the Fed policy? However, Siegel believes that inflation is "absolutely under control," with the economy currently facing a supply-side issue, not an excess of demand.

☆ Google Bard is already behind in the AI wars with OpenAI and Microsoft
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Google Bard, the search firm's answer to ChatGPT, has underwhelmed early testers. Users in the US and UK trying out the AI chatbot find it pales in comparison to OpenAI's tech. The makers of the Twofer Goofer word puzzle found ChatGPT was much better at solving the brainteasers than Google's Bard. It's possible that the company does have a super impressive AI tool up its sleeve. Insider's Hugh Langley reported earlier in March that Google employees are testing a more intelligent version of Bard, nicknamed "Big Bard."

Whether you're trying your hand at a screenplay like Charlie or brainstorming ideas for an upcoming meeting, there are a few things you can do to unlock your creativity and get the ideas flowing. Sometimes, connecting with someone else is the catalyst that unlocks our own creativity and gets the ideas flowing. "However, I find that once I just start, it creates momentum, because then I have something to work with, and the ideas start to flow and with progress comes confidence!" In her book "Bird by Bird," on the art of writing, Lamott describes the SFD this way: All good writers write them. A former colleague and I used to joke that our ideas were so good, it was bigger than a brainstorm.
☆ The 4-day workweek may not be the answer to workplace productivity and flexibility
  + stars: | 2023-03-21 | by ( Alexandra York | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The four-day workweek was also discussed in a panel at the World Economic Forum earlier this year. "We have had a static, for many countries, five-day week for about a century," Grant said Thursday at his panel discussion called "The Four-Day Week." While a four-day workweek seems like an obvious answer, there are some key factors to consider before making the change, they agreed. But there are productivity benefits to giving employees more time to invest in themselves, which could come through the four-day workweek or other rescheduling methods. Flexibility through reorganizationWhether it be a four-day workweek or another method of schedule restructuring, a focus on both flexibility and productivity also benefits companies, van 't Noordende said.

But unlike other investment opportunities, real estate appealed to him because there were numerous areas where an investor could exercise control to increase the return on their investment. "The reason why I like real estate investing compared to the stock market is that the stock market is incredibly efficient. "Whereas real estate can definitely be an inefficient marketplace where you can gain the advantage." Start in places like real estate associations that regularly host events, conferences, and even breakfasts in cities across the country. You don't need a university degree to become a real-estate investor, but you can give yourself a head start with a few courses.
