Generative AI Will Change Your Business. Heres How to Adapt. Generative AI can “generate” text, speech, images, music, video, and especially, code. When that capability is joined with a feed of someone’s own information, used to tailor the when, what, and how of an interaction, then the ease by which someone can get things done, and the broadening accessibility of software, goes up dramatically. The simple input question box that stands at the center of Google and now, of most Generative AI systems, such as in ChatGPT and Dall-e, will power more systems.
In our last HBR piece, “Customer Experience in the Age of AI,” we discussed how the use of one’s customer information is already differentiating branded experiences. Now with generative AI, personalization will go even further, tailoring all aspects of digital interaction to how the customer wants it to flow, not how product designers envision cramming in more menus and features. And then as the software follows the customer, it will go to places that range beyond the tight boundaries of a brand’s product. It will need to offer solutions to things the customer wants to do. Solve the full package of what someone needs, and help them through their full journey to get there, even if it means linking to outside partners, rethinking the definition of one’s offerings, and developing the underlying data and tech architecture to connect everything involved in the solution.

WorkCramer: These things could soon break the bulls' way, plus 4 stocks to buy   We will soon see the demise of the inverted yield curve, revealing all of the bears to be the financial equivalents of undrafted free agents and failed walk-ons. I don't care at this point if we get a few more interest rate hikes, so long as the move is done slowly over time. That may sound odd, but a healthy economy brings a demand for money. And we just might have a healthy economy.

While the Phillies and Cubs have strong holds on the first two wild-card spots, four teams -- the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants -- are within a few games of each other for the final spot. Miami and Cincinnati are the big surprises, as neither team was thought to be a playoff contender entering the season.

WorkWorkSunday Conversation: Corinne Bailey Rae On Her New Album And Dancing  Rae: Oh, thank you so much. That song is \"Before the Throne of the Invisible God.\" I found in the library when I first went to see it in the Arts Bank, it wasn\'t in order. So you didn\'t have to think, \"Hmm, what am I interested in? Should I go to the shelf about this or that?\" It hadn\'t been put in order so it was just a jumble. So you could pull off books and it would be dance since the fifteenth century, the history of mask, a recipe book, then it\'d be the Black pioneers that went West. Then it would be the rock churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia. And so it is called Wonders of Ethiopia, this book. I thought, \"What are these buildings? How do they make them?\" And the original architects, I guess, they would\'ve found this stone plain, this vast stone plain and decided to build something. Instead of building on top of it, they decided, \"What happens if we dig down? What if we sort of carve out the building?\" So the buildings are in a sense, a sculpture, like you\'d make a sculpture by taking away, redacted sculptures. But I\'ve heard people, known of people who study them, and you go to Ethiopia and you say, \"How did they make this? They must have had such accurate tools, the windows here, on this side the same length, width these windows here. And how was this done?\" And the people would say, \"Oh, they were made by the angels.\" And the researchers would say, \"Oh, yeah, okay, fine.\" And after they\'d been there researching with their calipers, with their laser-precise instruments for a month, they\'d say, \"I think they were made by the angels.\" Because there\'s so much unknown about how the technology that could have allowed them to make these really sophisticated mathematical and geometrically sound buildings in the year 900. So how did they do it? And this church is still in operation. On one of the pages of this book, it said, it was a picture of a throne that had been made. So it was carved into the wall, solid stone wall. There was a throne and this is where God was meant to sit when God was in the temple. But I really loved that line, the Throne to the invisible God. I thought, before the throne of the invisible God, what else is there to do but kneel? What is the invisible God? What is the thing, the reason, the way we get here, the how, the why, the infinite, the eternal, the thing that makes us all connected? WorkBarbara Feldon, At 90 Still Getting Smarter  She drags me into the store and plants me in front of the man, and says, “Look who I brought you,” and then looks at me. “Don’t you know who this is?” And he didn’t. Then she says Agent…” and again I helpfully supply, “99.” I’m standing there like an idiot. And he says, “No, I never saw it.” Then she whispers, “I’m so sorry,” to me. And I kind of slink away [laughs]. But, after awhile, it becomes like the weather that you’re recognized. It’s always so sweet and nice. WorkWorkGreece's agriculture hub lost a quarter of its crop production to two days of rain  The heavy rainfall was fueled by a stalled low-pressure storm system that became cut-off from the jet stream, also known as a cut-off low. This storm was similar in nature to the cut-off low that caused downpours in Spain on September 3, and is part of an unusual omega weather system, in which a zone of high pressure is sandwiched between two areas of low pressure. This omega weather system was blamed for both an unseasonal heatwave in the UK and the catastrophic flooding in Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
