Elon wants to put a chip in your brain

Plus: Salesforce applies pressure, and Ohio train derailment's toxic chemicals.

View in browser Subscribe February 15, 2023 Hello, Insiders! This week, I'm exploring the new realities of artificial intelligence. Up today is a topic that strikes close to home: AI and journalism. From the printing press to the whole dang internet, journalism has benefited and suffered mightily thanks to technology. AI is no exception. Some will see it as a job-stealing threat. ChatGPT, for example, can summarize and repackage information but doesn't give credit. That's not good. More reasons to be wary: Sports Illustrated's publisher tried using AI instead of human writers. The first article had some significant errors. CNET had to issue a string of corrections on an AI article. And some AI tools have the bad habit of stealing other people's work.  As the editor of a large news organization, I plan to have lots of conversations with the team about AI's benefits and drawbacks. I'd love to include you in that. So please send your thoughts: insidertoday@insider.com.

THE BIG STORY Brain-chip dangers Arif Qazi / Insider   Elon Musk wants to put a computer chip in your brain. Neuralink, Musk's neurotech startup, has been working toward this goal since its founding in 2016, and it recently announced plans to start human trials in the next several months. The idea is to translate brain signals into digital outputs — like being able to send a text message or type with just a thought. And Musk wants it to be mainstream. A "Fitbit in your skull," as he once put it. But there are real dangers and unique ethical pitfalls to neural implants. Compelling evidence suggests the devices can cause cognitive changes beyond the scope of their intended applications — and there's a risk of growing overly dependent on them as well. For some people, the devices have even changed their personality. READ THE FULL STORY HERE   TOP READS Ohio train, Salesforce, & more Gene J.

Amazon still plans to 'go big' on physical grocery stores

                                                           

Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  Google Podcasts

It's Wednesday, February 15, 2023. Despite recently saying it would lay off more than 18,000 people, Amazon is still looking to expand its empire – which could mean more physical stores. CEO Andy Jassy told the Financial Times that Amazon still plans to "go big" on its brick-and-mortar grocery store business. The company's physical store division accounts for 3.4 percent of the overall business and has grown only around 10 percent since the Whole Foods acquisition. Jassy noted that many Amazon Fresh locations opened in the COVID-19 pandemic, so Amazon hasn't "had a lot of normalcy" to see what works. That's also been true for other facets of its physical retail business. Almost a year ago, Amazon said it was closing all of its pop-ups, bookstores and four-star shops across the US and UK. In the interview, Jassy said: "We have a history of doing a lot of experimentation and doing it quickly. And then, when we find something that we like, doubling down on it, which is what we intend to do." – Mat Smith The Morning After isn't just a newsletter – it's also a daily podcast.

However, Apple does not have additional details to share on the exploits beyond the update release notes, spokesperson Scott Radcliffe told Engadget. Continue reading. IKEA made a smart air quality sensor It gauges particulate matter levels humidity, temperature and more. IKEA is introducing a smart indoor air quality sensor, the Vindstyrka, which gauges pollutant levels. Vindstyrka works by itself, but it unsurprisingly becomes more useful when connected to IKEA's Dirigera smart home hub. You can check air quality through the company's app and have the monitor control other devices, like telling IKEA's Starkvind purifier to increase fan speed based on particulate levels. There's no price yet, but the sensor will launch in April. Continue reading. Watch the teaser for 'Ted Lasso' season 3 The biggest show on Apple TV+ returns March 15th.

Of course, an image of anything one billion light-years away means we're viewing the galaxy's light from a billion years ago. Continue reading.
