☆ Majority of social media influencers don’t verify information before sharing it, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Liam Reilly | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

According to the UNESCO study, 62% of surveyed creators said they don’t vet the accuracy of content before sharing it with their followers. The study comes in the wake of the 2024 US presidential election, in which social media influencers played a key role as an information source for voters. During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris harnessed social media influencers and podcasters with millions of followers, including Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper, to appeal directly to voters. And a separate survey from Pew found that more than half of American adults “at least sometimes” get their news from social media. Online influencers generally do not rely on official sources of information, such as government-issued reports and documents, the UNESCO study found.

☆ Escaping the 'Perfection Trap'

Many organizations experimenting with AI may find themselves stuck in a "perfection trap," reluctant to deploy anything less than 100% complete. This widespread hesitation to move forward can hinder AI progress — and very few organizations have moved beyond the experimentation phase. Roughly 80% of surveyed AI leaders report data-related challenges, including governance concerns. By avoiding the perfection trap, leaders can foster sustained innovation and maximize the value of their AI investments. Read the AI in Action 2024 report to learn more about how IBM can help you turn AI experiments into transformative solutions.

☆ Contentious COP29 deal shows climate cooperation fraying at edges

When COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev stepped to the podium at the closing meeting of the Baku climate summit on Sunday morning, hoping to clinch a hard-fought agreement on global climate finance, he carried with him two speeches. Expectations for a deal were depressed by worries of a looming U.S. withdrawal from global climate cooperation, geopolitical turmoil, and a rise of isolationist politics that had shunted climate change off much of the world’s top priorities list. An activist holds a globe balloon during a protest at the COP29 United Nations climate change conference, in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Nov. 21. That made getting a bigger climate finance number hard, observers to the talks said. “Even maintaining climate finance at current levels in the current political environment is a huge fight,” said Joe Thwaites, senior advocate on international climate finance at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty suggested Sunday that Americans don't care about traditional FBI background checks for President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks as Democrats call for deeper vetting of executive branch nominees. An FBI background check, usually used during confirmation proceedings, would likely look into allegations such as that one. But Democratic lawmakers have argued that background checks for potential nominees are critical tools when vetting potential high-level appointees. “We require these background checks of DEA agents — drug enforcement agents. Many Republican lawmakers have agreed, rejecting the notion of doing away with FBI background checks.

☆ Jim Cramer warns of market 'excess' as stocks surge
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-25 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday described signs of "excess" he sees across market sectors, saying these widespread dramatic gains make him somewhat apprehensive, warning investors not to get too greedy. "If you had the good fortune to participate in some of these seemingly excessive moves, I think you should give thanks to your gains," he said. While it's normal for the averages to rise following election day's "Republican sweep" — as Wall Street expects deregulation and lower taxes — Cramer pointed out that many roaring stocks aren't well-known or members of the Magnificent Seven. He also looked at "Trump trades," or stocks that Wall Street has embraced as they anticipate what President-elect Donald Trump's term, like private prison operators and oil service companies. "So, take what's been given to you, give thanks for your gains, and make sure you're not letting wins turn into losses."

Buffett believes family wealth dynasties could have negative consequences such as eroding personal growth and complicating relationships. "I've never wished to create a dynasty or pursue any plan that extended beyond the children," Buffett wrote in a lengthy letter Monday. He has appointed three trustees of his charitable trust to potentially succeed his children in disbursing his wealth. They are also somewhat younger than my children," Buffett wrote. He said he's built strong trust in his children's managerial ability and philanthropic ambition through years of observation.

☆ The US is on the cusp of a nuclear renaissance. One problem: Americans are terrified of the waste

This is one of several misconceptions about nuclear energy: America’s nuclear waste is not buried in a mountain or tucked at the bottom of a deep, rocky cavern. That is almost entirely because Americans are by and large opposed to living anywhere near nuclear waste, and suspicious of governments’ or utilities’ attempts to assuage nuclear fears. The byproduct of nuclear energy is still associated with atomic bombs or nuclear meltdowns. On the threshold of America’s nuclear energy renaissance, federal officials are pleading with communities to say yes to storing spent fuel. No state has yet raised its hand to store the country’s nuclear energy waste, despite the lucrative deals it could foment.
