Microsofts AI story is getting complicated | Mint - WSJ
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=74975&nl=daily]
Microsoft was an early mover on generative artificial intelligence,
and investors benefited handsomely. The software company’s stock
surged nearly 57% last year in its best annual performance since 1999,
according to FactSet data. But the cold splash of reality that AI
stocks have received over the past few months has been particularly
chilling for the company that helped introduce the world to ChatGPT.
Microsoft’s year-to-date performance of less than 11% lags behind
all other megacap techs and the S&P 500. It is also the only one in
that crew to trail the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the year.

A Self-Care Checklist for Leaders - Harvard Business Review
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=74975&nl=daily]
Research has long shown the importance of self-care yet many leaders
still struggle to put self-care into practice in their own work lives.
Before a leader can sustainably practice self-care, several important
mindset shifts are necessary to ensure leaders set themselves up for
success. This five-part checklist can help leaders make self-care a
reality, including strategies such as making a body budget, managing
emotional health, identifying choice points, and prioritizing growth
and nourishment. Leaders are encouraged to personalize their plan and
practice regularly for optimal health and effectiveness as a leader.

The parallels draw themselves. In 1999 America’s government

alleged was abusing a monopoly. The case then turned on the “power
of the default” in internet browsers: Uncle Sam said Microsoft was
forcing computer-makers to distribute its browser along with its

Rabies is a deadly disease. Without vaccination, a rabies infection is
nearly 100% fatal once someone develops symptoms. Texas has
experienced two rabies epidemics in animals since 1988: one involving
coyotes and dogs in south Texas and the other involving gray foxes in
west-central Texas. Affecting 74 counties, these outbreaks led to
thousands of people who could have been exposed, two human deaths, and
countless animal lives lost.
