[ad_1] Reid Hoffman’s personal AI hack is quite simple: Use everything.”I simply do the max subscription across all of them and frequently when I’m doing something I’ve actually already put on running — and now it’s the Open AI open-source model on my laptop to front end to parsing it out to multiple agents,” Hoffman said during a recent episode of “Moonshots with Peter Diamandis.”Datasage cofounder Dave Blundin, who joins Diamandis on the podcast, asked Hoffman if, as a Microsoft board member, he receives any special perks like dedicated GPUs. Hoffman was on OpenAI’s board until 2023, when he stepped…

[ad_1] This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ashley Jablow, a 44-year-old career coach based in Richmond, Virginia. It’s been edited for length and clarity.Most clients come to me because they feel stuck in their careers. They’ve picked up their heads at 30, 40, 50, or beyond and realized that the life and career they chose for themself at 20 no longer fulfills them.As a career coach who helps mid- and senior-career professionals navigate career transitions, I see that these changes later in life aren’t always as easy as they might be if done earlier. Many of my…
[ad_1] When I saw a man walking down Prince Street in canary yellow pants, a bright blue Aviator Nation sweatshirt, custom sneakers, and a hat that said “GOAT,” I knew my wait was over.I was meeting up with Dan Ives, who isn’t just a well-known tech analyst and major Tesla bull, but also something of a fashion icon. CNBC is used to guys in Brooks Brothers, but when Ives is on, it’s Lilly Pulitzer blazers and lots of hot pink. During our SoHo shopping excursion, Ives didn’t look twice at anything in a neutral tone. My white T-shirt, medium-wash vintage…

[ad_1] This summer, a new series on TikTok caught my eye. “Roomies” appeared to be a group of sketch comics turning out a once-weekly, highly-produced (by TikTok standards) mockumentary-style sitcom about a young woman named Ellie who moves from the Midwest to New York and encounters all the horrors the city has to offer: long lines for restaurants that have gone viral, bad roommates, and broken air conditioning. But when I peeped the show’s bio, I found that it’s not the work of a Gen Z iteration of the Upright Citizens Brigade or “SNL” hopefuls — it’s written, directed, and…

[ad_1] California’s state senate recently gave final approval to a new AI safety bill, SB 53, sending it to Governor Gavin Newsom to either sign or veto. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because Newsom vetoed another AI safety bill, also written by state senator Scott Wiener, last year. But SB 53 is narrower than Wiener’s previous SB 1047, with a focus on big AI companies making more than $500 million in annual revenue. I got the chance to discuss SB 53 with my colleagues Max Zeff and Kirsten Korosec on the latest episode of TechCrunch’s flagship podcast Equity. Max…
