☆ OpenAI backer Vinod Khosla on why all the executive departures may be a good thing, taking on Elon Musk, and fixing AI's image problem

Khosla Ventures was the first investor in OpenAI when it switched to a "capped-profit" model in 2018. When OpenAI switched from a non-profit to a "capped-profit" company in 2018, he put his money where his mouth was when Khosla Ventures stepped forward with the first check. While some notable earlier investors sat out this round, such as Sequoia Capital, sat out this round, Khosla Ventures doubled down. "There's plenty of companies in the public markets that have higher revenue multiples with much lower growth than OpenAI," Khosla said during an interview this week. Advertisement"I think a number of people who left recently really want to start something of their own, but the organization is also being rationalized for agility and speed," Khosla said.

☆ Investor who studied at Harvard's 'Happiness Lab' shares the No. 1 thing that 'actually drives happiness'—it isn't money
  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Alexa von Tobel learned at Harvard University that money doesn't buy happiness. But despite her own financial success, von Tobel, 39, says she's derived the most happiness throughout her career from "the intangibles that money can't buy." "Through my time at Harvard's Happiness Lab during my undergrad years, I really gained a new perspective on what drives happiness," von Tobel tells CNBC Make It, adding: "What actually drives happiness are the simple routines and the daily rituals in our lives that create community and connectedness." In college, von Tobel earned Magna Cum Laude honors for a senior thesis on happiness in the small country of Bhutan, according to her LinkedIn profile. "The daily effort drives happiness, not the outcome," says von Tobel.

☆ Virtual Healthcare Has Green Benefits
  + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( Cecilia Butini | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +8 min
Virtual doctor’s appointments are helping healthcare companies reduce carbon emissions, though sustainability is mostly seen as a side benefit of telehealth rather than its main driver. The healthcare industry is responsible for about 5% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, of which the U.S. healthcare system alone accounts for a quarter. Similarly, in England, medicines, buildings, equipment and other supply-chain items generate most of the National Health Service’s emissions, according to official NHS figures. The company has designed an app for teleconsultations that is able to show patients the carbon emissions avoided through that consultation. In line with national data, the company said its Scope 3 emissions account for 75% of its total emissions.

☆ Aviation industry turns to childcare, free iPhones to lure workers
  + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Allison Lampert Rajesh Kumar Singh | Allison Lampert | Rajesh Kumar Singh | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
The city of Phoenix's aviation department, which runs the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, has launched a childcare program for airport workers and plans to build a childcare facility on airport property. Since its launch, 37 airport workers have joined the program, which covers daycare costs partially. At Kelowna International Airport in British Columbia, Canada, construction is underway for a daycare primarily for children of employees who work on airport property. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is similarly weighing offering childcare on-site or nearby in a bid to offer attractive benefits to workers, said airport spokesperson Mindy Kershner. And then there are others - like Jared Barker, a 33-year-old baggage handler at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport who quit and left the industry altogether last year after mass departures during the pandemic led to a heavier workload.
