How to use chatbots to make you smarter, not dumber - Psyche Guides

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=253043&nl=daily
AI thoughtlessly and it dulls your mind. But with a strategic approach
and the right prompts, it can be a powerful tool - I'm not here as an
AI enthusiast, but as a guide to help you navigate this new world.
According to surveys, 78 per cent of organisations, 81 per cent of
researchers, 86 per cent of students, and nearly two-thirds of
physicians now use AI in some way. Whether we like it or not, chatbots
are here to stay. It's not necessarily a problem, but it risks
becoming one if people use chatbots in harmful ways. I'm going to help
you avoid that.

'Ghost job' postings are adding another layer of uncertainty to the
stalling jobs picture
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=253043&nl=daily]
Judging by current data, you'd think there's literally a job out there
for anyone who wants one. Looking deeper under the hood, though, tells
a different story.The level of job openings as reported by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics for years has shown there are at least as many
available positions as there are unemployed workers.But comparing the
openings with actual hirings shows that not all those jobs are being
filled.Not even close, in fact: Since the beginning of 2024, job
openings have outnumbered job hirings by more than 2.2 million a
month, according to BLS data. That points to an ongoing problem with
"ghost jobs" that never seem to get filled.
