Being able to start and continue interesting conversations leads to partnerships, introductions, and a more enjoyable life. But what if you don’t know where to begin? Not everyone has the skill of entering a room and immediately getting people onside. If your conversation opening prowess could do with improvement, try these five prompts in ChatGPT. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through. In the opening prompt, describe the nature of an event you have planned, so it can give you the most relevant advice. Give the other person a chance to be the bigger guy. Hint that you admire something about them; their hair, vibe or something you know about their work. Follow up with a question so they can tell you more. A little flattery followed by curiosity. They’ll feel seen and be eager to share. Get ChatGPT’s help in knowing how to do this with the following prompt.

It may sound like a Colosseum fight card, but last year, a team led by Liana Zanette, an ecologist at the University of Western Ontario, arranged exactly this matchup—for science. The point was not to settle some grade-school debate about which animal would survive a vicious fight to the death, but rather to see how much each species is feared by other animals. It’s not a trivial question. Fear shapes animal behavior, and animal behavior shapes our world in profound ways. Scientists are only beginning to understand fear’s effects, but already, evidence suggests that a terrified animal will eat less and reproduce less than an unterrified one. In addition to everything else we’re doing to endanger wildlife, we might be scaring them into smaller population sizes. The better we can understand the fear we inspire, the more we can mitigate its harms—and maybe even try to use it for good. To that end, Zanette’s team outfitted 21 watering holes in South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park with automated speaker systems. When thirsty animals approached, the speakers played one of several sounds: the snarls and growls of a lion pride, the placid chatter of human conversation, gunshots, dog barks, or birdsong. Cameras recorded the animals’ reactions, including the time it took each to run away. The results, published in Current Biology, were “very dramatic,” Zanette told me. According to a data set comprising more than 4,000 interactions, animals were twice as likely to flee when they heard a human voice than when they heard lions or even gunshots, and they left the watering hole 40 percent faster. Most striking of all, Zanette said, this effect was observed across 95 percent of species. Continued here Don't like ads?

And while the daily grind to and from work isn’t quite as bad as it was before the pandemic, it’s getting real close. A study by management platform company Yardi Kube, using U.S. Census data, finds that the average American spent 52.8 minutes commuting last year, compared with 55.2 minutes in 2019. That’s 0.8 minutes more each way than last year’s data, which might not sound like a lot, but it represents the biggest jump on record. It follows 3.2 million people returning to the office last year (compared with 2021).

(Photo by Joseph Prezioso) It's that time of year again for Disney theme park fans. Last week, the company announced that it is raising some prices at both Disney World Resort in Orlando and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. Park-goers in California got hit harder. For both of its two theme parks, Disneyland's tickets are on a tiered system. Single-day tickets are now costlier for all but Tier 0, the most off-peak, lowest-attendance days—think the dead of January or right after the start of the school year. During other times, one-day ticket prices are higher, from $119 a day in Tier 1 (up $5 from last year) to $194 a day in Tier 6 (a jump of $15). Continued here
