Influencer marketing can be a challenge for business owners. Working with content creators can be expensive, time-consuming, and-worst of all-risky. It's not uncommon for marketing teams to shell out thousands of dollars to influencers in exchange for social media posts that result in sparse engagement and shockingly few sales. Still, if done right, influencer marketing can help elevate a small business into a household name. Just this year, better-for-you soda brand Poppi sold to PepsiCo for $1.95 billion after blowing up on TikTok.

The Daily Show Open Has A Career Suggestion: And we follow it up with a couple disclaimers.

As the host of On With Kara Swisher, her twice weekly podcast for Vox Media, she grills leaders in tech and politics, coaxing them to share the things they may not reveal on any other gabfest. For Pivot, her Vox show with New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway, she keeps the banter between herself and her cohost-but still, she doesn't hold back.

An Oxford don in charge of mathematical finance told its reporters that almost all his students ended up working at quant trading firms, on salaries from 250,000 to 800,000. If you get offered a salary less than 250K, you're kind of the sad guy, he said, adding that nobody I know interviews for JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs not once do I hear anybody entertain any of these traditional investment banking jobs.

"Open Twitter, LinkedIn, or any blog platform. Scroll for five minutes. You'll see the same articles rewritten 50 different ways. Headlines like: morning routines of successful people, is coding dead in the age of AI, top programming languages to learn this year, how to stop procrastinating once and for all, ChatGPT will revolutionize everything, side hustles you can start today."

The AI boom is far more robust than the dot-com bubble, but there's still a risk it disappoints investors and sends shockwaves through markets and the economy, Liz Ann Sonders says. Charles Schwab's chief investment strategist told Business Insider that "extreme enthusiasm" about innovation and circular deals between tech companies reminded her of the internet bubble 25 years ago. But she said a key difference is that many dot-com companies were small and loss-making,

AI is a broad field that encompasses the development of intelligent systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as perception, reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI serves as an umbrella term for various techniques and approaches, including machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, among others. Machine Learning(ML) ML is a type of AI for understanding and building methods that make it possible for machines to learn. These methods use data to improve computer performance on a set of tasks.

Tech hopefuls are associating themselves with San Francisco online; some say for social media clout or to attract investors. Eight rising tech workers told Business Insider that they've noticed an influx of San Francisco love online. One changed his location to San Francisco as a "manifestation." Another said they thought of it as a "heavenly land." 18-year-old Lance Yan recently made his location on X to "Waterloo | SF."

"When I interview people, I ask them to give me an example of something they've invented,"

Don't get distracted by record stock prices. (The S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq all hit new highs yesterday for the third session running.) The surging companies are all benefiting from AI for a simple reason: Companies expect more powerful AI, more productivity, greater profits and fewer workers. The market can easily surge even if joblessness spikes. So listen closely when companies announce big plans for smaller workforces.

During the event, David Wang, Executive Director at Huawei, outlined how quickly the intelligent world is approaching. According to him, AI, 5G, and green energy will transform all sectors. "AI, 5G, and green energy will change education, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and every other industry," said Wang. He foresees that AI alone will contribute $22.3 trillion (€19.1 trillion) to the global economy within five years.

A popular ski resort town in Colorado is adopting a new AI Smart City Solution from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to help it better detect wildfires, as well as update a range of other city services. Vail is expanding its firefighting toolbox as hotter, more arid weather with climate change raises wildfire risk in the western US. Colorado has suffered 11 of the 20 largest fires in state history just within the last five years.

Since its inception, online resale has been about the art of the hunt. For the last decade, shoppers on sites like The RealReal, Poshmark or Depop didn't mind scavenging endless feeds of pre-owned products if it meant potentially scoring a vintage Armani tuxedo blazer or a Tom Ford-era Gucci bag. The resellers, in turn, enabled this behaviour by continually flooding their marketplaces with treasures.

On June 5, it was reported that the company will be expanding its AI and cloud investments in Switzerland, committing $400 million to expand its data center infrastructure in the European nation. The additional capacity is expected to support more than 50,000 current customers and expand the availability of AI services for more sectors, including health care, finance government. Microsoft is capitalizing on its Azure platform's momentum as revenue jumped 39% in FY25 Q4, driven by AI services.

Nothing the 61-year-old director does could be termed "half-assed," and each of his movies is planned, scripted, and storyboarded with immense attention to detail. Such discipline is evident in Frankenstein, his adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel. It's a movie del Toro has been trying to make for years, and it shows. The elaborate sets and costumes-as well as some embellishing of Shelley's story-could only be the work of someone as connected as he is with his source material.

While companies continue to invest strategically and financially in AI, leaders shouldn't ignore other emerging technologies, says Amy Webb, founder of the Future Today Strategy Group.

Recently, I used Apple Photos to revisit the photos I took during the 2015 Thanksgiving holiday. There were some gems in there-memories I'd like to preserve forever. But there were even more images I regretted saving in the first place. You already know the ones I'm talking about. The near-duplicates of other, better photos. The blurry misfires. The shots of people with their eyelids drooping or mouths agape. The ones I accidentally took of the floor when my thumb slipped.

AI is becoming deeply embedded in how people shop, influencing more moments of the buyer journey than ever before. What began with simple personalization algorithms has evolved into systems that anticipate intent and remove friction from the buying process. Adobe forecasts a 520% surge in AI-assisted online shopping this holiday season-evidence of how quickly consumers are embracing these advancements. The traditional sales funnel is beginning to collapse as once-separate steps-search, comparison, and checkout-converge into a single, seamless interaction.

This note regarding the importance of Elon leading Tesla is more relevant now than ever. Tesla is at a critical juncture, as it is metamorphosing into the world leader in robotics. Creating large-scale, useful robots requires expertise across engineering design, manufacturing, real-world AI software, chips for AI, and more. Elon is, quite likely, the only person on Earth with deep skills and the right instincts across all these domains,

One of the things that's happening here that's a little bit different, is this is going at a pace that's quicker. Because the pace is so quick, I think there's a possibility that there's a little bit more volatility or an unsettled transition around certain job functions.
