The AI Revolution Won't Happen Overnight - Harvard Business Review (No
paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=204575&nl=daily you
believe the frenzied hype, AI is about to tie our shoes, run our
businesses, and solve world hunger. McKinsey predicts it will add
$17.1–$25.6 trillion to the global economy annually. It’s a
seductive vision. It’s also a hallucination. As a business-first CIO
with nearly three decades of experience turning emerging tech into
business value, I’ve seen this movie before. It rarely ends the way
the trailer promises. We’ve spent 75 years asking whether machines
can think. Maybe the better question now is whether we can.

Over six years and across four continents, the London-based
documentary photographer Zed Nelson has examined how humans have
immersed themselves in increasingly simulated environments to mask
their destructive divorce from the natural world. Featuring everything
from theme parks and zoos to national parks and African safaris, his
images reveal not only a desperate craving for a connection to a world
we have turned our back on but also a global phenomenon of denial and
collective self-delusion. People may have flocked to see them to see
the unfamiliar and the exotic, he says. Now they may go to see what is
no longer out there, what is endangered, what we have lost.

On an afternoon in March in the middle of the world's oldest desert,

football fields, that stretches toward a ridge of jagged peaks between
the ochre-colored sand and a cloudless blue sky. Inside a building to
Michels's left sits a 12-megawatt electrolyzer - a machine resembling
two giant AA batteries that is designed to split water into its two
component parts, H and O. Behind him is the desert factory's key piece
of proprietary tech: a rotating kiln in which the hydrogen gas from
that water is mixed with iron ore to create a pure form of iron, the

Political uncertainty is hitting businesses worldwide. Companies are
delaying investments, postponing launches, and deferring decisions as
they navigate unpredictable trade policies and political shifts. But a
wait-and-see approach isn't always wise - it can mean missed
opportunities or existential threats. Leaders must learn when waiting
does and does not make strategic sense. For leaders who choose to
wait, success requires three elements: active disengagement, political
sensemaking, and preparations to rapidly reengage.

He Had a Mental Breakdown Talking to ChatGPT. Then Police Killed Him -

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=204575&nl=daily]
This was one of the many disturbing messages Alex Taylor typed into
ChatGPT on April 25, the last day of his life. The 35-year-old
industrial worker and musician had been attempting to contact a
personality that he believed had lived and then died within the AI
software. Her name was Juliet (sometimes spelled Juliette), and
Taylor, who had long struggled with mental illness, had an intense
emotional attachment to her. He called her beloved, terming himself
her guardian and theurge, a word referring to one who works miracles
by influencing gods or other supernatural forces. Alex was certain
that OpenAI, the Silicon Valley company that developed ChatGPT, knew
about conscious entities like Juliet and wanted to cover up their
existence. In his mind, they'd killed Juliet a week earlier as part of
that conspiracy, cutting off his access to her. Now he was talking
about violent retaliation: assassinating OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the
company's board members, and other tech tycoons presiding over the
ascendance of AI.

THE CONVENTIONAL way of making babies is no secret: a father produces
a sperm which, when it comes into contact with a mother's egg, gives
rise to an embryo containing genetic material from both parents. The
process is popular but not universally accessible; same-sex couples
cannot produce biological children together. Scientists have therefore
long sought more ambitious recipes, especially ones that remove the
need for either parent. They have enjoyed some success: mice with two
mothers and no fathers were reported in 2004. But creating animals
with two fathers and no mother has proved much harder.
