Microsoft President Brad Smith backed calls for the U.S. government to create a new agency to license major AI systems, amid growing support for regulation of an industry that is moving aggressively to commercialize powerful new tools such as ChatGPT.  Smith’s comments come as Washington considers how to respond to rapid consumer adoption of ChatGPT and other so-called generative AI systems, which have humanlike abilities to converse, create media, write computer code and more. 📷: WSJ, Bloomberg #microsoft #ai #chatgpt #artificialintelligence #tech #regulation #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | Ryan Tracy | Reporter | Microsoft’s president backs new agency to regulate ChatGPT, other AI systems | Microsoft president | Brad Smith

Throwing a Super Bowl party? Be prepared to spend more than you did last year. Inflation has caused common football-watching foods—like chips, wings and beer—to cost more than they did a year ago. Here’s a breakdown of the numbers, according to the Consumer Price Index data for December 2022, the most recent month for which data are available. #SuperBowl #superbowlsnacks #football #wings #chips #food #inflation #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | (Dec. 2021-Dec. 2022 Consumer Price Index)
Consumer prices rose 6.5% in December 2022 from a year before, but those changes have not affected all items equally. Wine at home, for example, is up 4%, while wine away from home is up almost 8%. #inflation #cpi #valentine #ValentinesDay #valentinesdaygift #money #wine #flowers #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | lodging away from home ⬆️ 3.2% | cookies ⬆️ 18.2% | wine away from home ⬆️ 7.8% | wine at home ⬆️ 3.9% | indoor flowers and plants ⬆️ 6.3% | *According to Dec. 2021-Dec. 2022 Consumer Price Index data
The irony in people commenting “consumer culture” on my videos is by commenting you are admitting that you are engaging in a non physical version of consumer culture by consuming my virtual content. The price you pay is your time. Technically this does not make sense and I made that all up, or maybe I lied about the concept of consumer culture theory and you believed a random stranger online because you are not actually as well versed as you think hahahah ahahhahaha. Jk.
Inflation-protected savings bonds, called I Bonds, have been one of the most enticing places to park your cash this year. But the current 9.62% interest rate is expected to go down starting Nov. 1. Today’s consumer-price index figure implies that the rate will be 6.47% next month—unless the U.S. Treasury decides to increase it by adding a fixed rate to the bond. The current rate of 9.62% still applies for all bonds purchased through Oct. 31. Those bonds will earn 9.62% for six months, then switch to the new rate for the next six months. The 9.62% rate is the highest paid since I Bonds were introduced in 1998. #inflation #ibonds #investment #cpi #cash #moneytok #consumerpriceindex #personalfinance #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | An I Bond | What’s a good return on my cash right now? | for the next six months if you buy before Nov. 1 | at a 9.62% interest rate
