First, a special thank you to one listener from GZH, who made a small donation to the program. I really appreciate your generosity and support. As some of you might have noticed, translation part of the last few episodes were done by an AI-powered service. To be honest, I am quite impressed by the quality of their work. The quality has been improved drastically since the latest AI model has been launched. What’s your thoughts on that? Ok, enough about AI. I am starting a new topic this week. Now, let’s get started. * The article (文章): To Sleep Better, Change What—and When—You Eat From WSJ Did your mom ever suggest a warm glass of milk to help you sleep? Science says she may be right. Part I: The verdict An emerging field of research called chrononutrition indicates that choosing the right foods and meal times may improve our sleep. Some key findings: Eat dinner early. Keep consistent schedules. And, yes, drink milk. Part II: an Example Roughly a third of American adults don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Part III: How do we do it What’s the best way to adjust your diet to improve your sleep? Here’s some advice, according to a growing body of research.

I can’t emphasize this enough that AI is the biggest innovation in tech for decades. If the post global financial crisis was about the social media, the next will 15 or twenty years will be about AI. Be prepared and be wowed. * The article (文章): Meta, in Its Biggest A.I. Push, Places Smart Assistants Across Its Apps - NYT Part I: The Story: On a call with investors last spring, Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, said he believed that he had an opportunity to introduce artificially intelligent assistants “to billions of people in ways that will be useful and meaningful.” * Omnipresent: widely or constantly encountered; common or widespread. 无所不在 Part II: The Meta Chatbot Meta A.I. is powered by LLaMA 3, the company’s newest and most powerful large language model, an A.I. technology that can generate prose, conduct conversations and create images. Part III: Competing with others Other tech giants are also plugging A.I. into their products, as Silicon Valley start-ups raise billions of dollars to build A.I.-powered apps and services that they believe will define the next phase of computing. * Amalgamate: combine or unite to form one organization or structure.合并 Part IV: Meta is a different animal When ChatGPT arrived in late 2022, wowing people with the way it answered questions, wrote term papers and generated computer code, the tech industry raced to build similar technology — even as the tools sometimes made mistakes and generated untruths.

So, today’s episode is going to be a short one. I feel like the last one was a bit too long. I am skipping the translation part this time. Each section of the article will be followed by a brief description. If you need more detailed translation, please refer to the content in GHZ. The QR code is in the show notes. * 文章： In today’s episode, I will continue on the topic of generative AI’s development in business. AI is the hottest topic in business right now. But its adoption has been slow, at least much slower than many have expected. Today’s article looked at how AI has changed companies’ hiring practice. Generative AI Is Changing the Hiring Calculus at These Companies - WSJ Introduction: Generative AI is reshaping the conversation around hiring at many companies as they realize that one way the pricey technology will pay off is if it helps them employ fewer people to do more work. * Portend: be a sign or warning that (something, especially something momentous or calamitous) is likely to happen. 预兆 At KeyBank: “We’re looking at a lot of interesting tools and they have a lot of promise—but then when you look at the cost of the tool you say, ‘Am I really going to realize that productivity internally or am I just going to increase my technology cost?’” said KeyBank CIO Amy Brady. At Oshkosh: Anupam Khare, senior vice president and CIO of specialty vehicle maker Oshkosh Corp., also sees generative AI changing the workforce conversation, with employee productivity gains reducing the need to hire At Nationwide Insurance: At insurance company Nationwide Chief Technology Officer Jim Fowler has guided the creation of a tool that analyzes the cost of a given generative AI use case across several different available proprietary large language models. * Proprietary:relating to an owner or ownership. 所有权

I am truly grateful for your kindness. It’s a humble experience that someone appreciates what I do. Like many content creators on different platforms, I don’t gain financial support from anyone. So when life gets in the way, I will have to take pauses. Sometimes, it can last months. However, as I stated in the last episode, I will try my best to keep it up. Hope we can all learn something from each other as we share our common interests. * 阅读： Business Schools Are Going All In on AI - WSJ PartI: Introduction: At the Wharton School this spring, Prof. Ethan Mollick assigned students the task of automating away part of their jobs. Top business schools are pushing M.B.A. candidates and undergraduates to use artificial intelligence as a second brain. Students are eager for the instruction as employers increasingly hire talent with AI skills. Understanding and using AI is now a foundational concept, much like learning to write or reason, said David Marchick, dean of Kogod. American’s new AI classwork will include text mining, predictive analytics and using ChatGPT to prepare for negotiations, whether navigating workplace conflict or advocating for a promotion. Officials and faculty at Columbia Business School and Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business say fluency in AI will be key to graduates’ success in the corporate world, allowing them to climb the ranks of management. Part II: Faster Thinking: Business-school professors are now encouraging students to use generative AI as a tool, akin to a calculator for doing math. Blake Bergeron, a 27-year-old M.B.A. student at Columbia, used generative AI to brainstorm new business ideas for a project last fall. One it returned was a travel service that recommends destinations based on a person’s social networks, pulling data from their friends’ posts. Part III: Faster Doing: When Robert Bray, who teaches operations management at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, realized that ChatGPT could answer nearly every question in the textbook he uses for his data analytics course, he updated the syllabus. Several professors said they can teach more material with AI’s assistance. One said that because AI could solve his lab assignments, he no longer needed much of the class time for those activities. With the extra hours he has students present to their peers on AI innovations.
