☆ Millionaire founder: This is the No. 1 skill young people need to thrive in the AI era—it's not coding

There is one skill all young people need to thrive in the workplace — today and in the future — and it's been around for thousands of years. The type of storytelling may not matter, because the platforms people use to communicate can rapidly change. IT business consultancy Gartner reportedly bought L2 Inc. for more than $130 million in 2017, according to regulatory filings. The importance of storytelling is particularly why young people shouldn't rely solely on generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT — not now, not ever, said Galloway. Management experts agree — understanding AI is important, but it isn't the sole skill needed to succeed at work.

Deb Perelman, the best-selling cookbook author and creator of Smitten Kitchen, tends to focus her social media posts on her work, like pasta or chocolate chip cookie recipes. Of course, many people see immense importance in posting on social media about the war. Social media feeds have focused on major news events many times before. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a uniquely thorny and divisive issue to navigate on social media, though, particularly for those not educated about the region or its history, or who are still forming their opinions. People of both faiths have asked her to post about the war on social media, she said, and sending her graphic images.

☆ Even Before the Israel-Hamas War, Being Palestinian Was Controversial - The New York Times

I’d had the privilege of a youth — adolescence and young adulthood — in countries where being Palestinian was fairly common. The task of the Palestinian, we’ve seen in the past two weeks, is to audition for empathy and compassion. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve watched Palestinian activists, lawyers, professors get baited and interrupted on air, if not silenced altogether. What is the word of a Palestinian against a machinery that investigates itself, that absolves itself of accused crimes? Diasporically or not, being Palestinian is the quintessential disrupter: It messes with a curated, modified tape.

AdvertisementAdvertisementThe past six days on social media have been a heartbreaking and deeply disturbing experience. "Trying to explain the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in one picture is almost like a Second City sketch. Before social media, conversations like this would typically happen over coffee or at the workplace — likely still with some disagreement. But many social media users fall victim to misinformation, which has spread like wildfire even in the first week of this war. Dagnes said that just by virtue of posting something, anyone can be an expert to social media users — never mind that person's actual qualifications or life experience.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - It took 86 years, but Atletico Mineiro have finally been crowned as Brazil's first club champion after the country's football confederation (CBF) officially recognised their winning of the 1937 "Tournament of Champions" as comparable to a Brazilian Serie A Championship. Atletico can now add a third title to their history along with the 1971 and 2021 victories thanks to the decision of the body headed by Ednaldo Rodrigues to grant the club recognition of the long-standing title. The pioneering interstate tournament brought together five state champions of 1936 from different regions of Brazil and a delegation of the sports club of the navy. It was the first of national relevance to involve clubs that moved to the professional model, such as Fluminense and Atletico itself. After claiming the "Brasileirao" in 2021, Atletico requested recognition of the title they won almost a century ago.
