  + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Bianca Chan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Finance firms and fintech startups are trying to use generative AI to improve search capabilities. Perfecting search, down the line, could lead to more automation and more complex generative AI tools. It has already onboarded some-25 Wall Street firms onto its generative AI platform. AdvertisementMeanwhile, two Stanford grads came together to build Mako, a generative AI associate for the private-equity industry.

☆ 2 Stanford grads want to replace your beer with cannabis drinks—they’ve already sold 10 million cans

Anderson and Bullock refer to it as a "social tonic," or a hangover-free alternative to beer. It's one of the top-selling cannabis beverage brands in the U.S., according to market research firm BDSA. Bullock and Anderson project sales of more than 9 million cans next year — which, with prices starting at $24 per six-pack, would generate at least $36 million in annual revenue. Unsurprisingly, the co-founders say they're well-positioned to fill the void — even as research into cannabis' health effects remains inconclusive. That same year, Constellation Brands, which produces Corona and Modelo beers, invested $4 billion in Canadian cannabis company Canopy Growth.

If you were a millennial, brought up amid secondhand smoke in homes and restaurants in the ’80s and ’90s (like this writer), Juul’s rise might not have felt so alarming. But if you were a teenager, Juul’s impact was immediately striking — and likely unnerving for your parents — as explored in a new Netflix docuseries. “Big Vape” neither neatly ties up Juul’s troubles nor addresses the company’s motives. Bulls***t.”“Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul” is out now on Netflix. Watch: “Thank You for Smoking” (2005)This Jason Reitman-directed black comedy follows Big Tobacco lobbyist Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart), who spins, spins, spins the narrative by any means necessary, his job at odds with his role as parent to a 12-year-old.

☆ I'm an instructor at the Esalen Institute, a famous wellness retreat near Silicon Valley. Here's why tech executives flock to this oasis of 'transformation.'

The Esalen Institute is a retreat and educational institute that was established in Big Sur, California in 1962. When I came to Esalen for the first time in 2014 I thought: How does this place even exist? It's a rare place where water coming down from the mountains, hot spring water coming up from the Earth, and water from the Pacific Ocean all collide in one place. But I'm not meditating all day at Esalen — I'm focused on making an impact in the world. People are coming to us in transitionGiven our proximity to Silicon Valley, we do draw people from the tech world.
☆ A leaked Google memo compared it to slime mold
  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Jake Swearingen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
It's like the start of a joke: What do Google and slime mold have in common? A lot, says a memo from an ex-Googler comparing the org to a "slime mold." (A key difference: Stanford grads aren't desperate to intern at a slime mold.) But with ChatGPT setting off alarm bells inside and outside the org, Google should probably move faster and with more intention than slime mold. The most memorable part of the memo compares Google's bottom-up organizational structure to a "slime mold," highlighting how both Google and a slime mold can work independently but still come together to solve complex problems.
