One startup believes that even titles written by humans would benefit from some AI, in the form of an accompanying chatbot primed to talk about a book’s contents. YouAI, a startup that offers tools for building AI apps, recently developed an app it calls Book AI, which promises to “turn any book into an AI.” It spins up a chatbot that knows everything about the book and can talk about it endlessly—like a bespectacled Terminator that just dropped in on your book club meeting. Dmitry Shapiro, YouAI’s CEO, says he’s talking with a number of publishers large and small about creating chatbots to accompany new releases. Solution Tree, which offers thousands of books on continuing education, already plans to offer what Shapiro calls “conversational companions” to go with its titles.

Names can work against economists in other ways. Another study, by Liran Einav of Stanford University and Leeat Yariv, now of Princeton University, found that faculty with earlier surname initials were more likely to receive tenure at top departments, an effect they put down to the fact that authors of economics papers tend to be listed alphabetically.

You can wake up at any time you want and have champagne for breakfast, before perhaps hiring a private jet on a whim to explore the local islands. Welcome to the fantasy world of DINK—that’s “double income, no kids.”  First coined in the “yuppy” days of the late 1980s, the term recently exploded back onto social media as millennial couples provided an inside look into their luxurious child-free lifestyles—and now new research backs up that it really does pay to be a DINK. According to the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, couples with no children have the highest net worth out of all other types of family structures.  Continued here Emotionally Intelligent People Use 3 Simple Words to Stop Negative Thinking and Get Results - Inc.com    Paul Rabil, Co-Founder of the Premier Lacrosse League, to Publish 'The Way of the Champion' Exclusive: How Republican Candidate Doug Burgum Would Use Artificial Intelligence as President My wife and I run a business together, and yesterday was a typical morning. We started with a cup of coffee, and although I don't like to talk business every morning, I had something on my mind and I wanted her opinion.
