Opening Remarks: (开场白)：
Good morning friends, Today is Thursday, May 9th.
Hope you all had a great holiday break. First, a special thank you to one listener from GZH, who made a small donation to the program. I really appreciate your generosity and support.
As some of you might have noticed, translation part of the last few episodes were done by an AI-powered service. To be honest, I am quite impressed by the quality of their work. The quality has been improved drastically since the latest AI model has been launched. What’s your thoughts on that? Ok, enough about AI. I am starting a new topic this week. Now, let’s get started.

Good morning friends! Today is Thursday, April 25th
Today’s piece will be the last one on AI. I can’t emphasize this enough that AI is the biggest innovation in tech for decades. If the post global financial crisis was about the social media, the next will 15 or twenty years will be about AI. Be prepared and be wowed.

Meta, in Its Biggest A.I. Push, Places Smart Assistants Across Its Apps - NYT
Part I: The Story:
On a call with investors last spring, Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, said he believed that he had an opportunity to introduce artificially intelligent assistants “to billions of people in ways that will be useful and meaningful.”
Omnipresent: widely or constantly encountered; common or widespread. 无所不在
Part II: The Meta Chatbot
Meta A.I. is powered by LLaMA 3, the company’s newest and most powerful large language model, an A.I. technology that can generate prose, conduct conversations and create images.
Part III: Competing with others
Other tech giants are also plugging A.I. into their products, as Silicon Valley start-ups raise billions of dollars to build A.I.-powered apps and services that they believe will define the next phase of computing.
Amalgamate: combine or unite to form one organization or structure.合并
Part IV: Meta is a different animal
When ChatGPT arrived in late 2022, wowing people with the way it answered questions, wrote term papers and generated computer code, the tech industry raced to build similar technology — even as the tools sometimes made mistakes and generated untruths.

开场白：
Good morning, friends! Today is Thursday, April 18th.
I almost bailed on this week’s episode. Long travel and bad weather are making me much less motivated. So, today’s episode is going to be a short one. I feel like the last one was a bit too long. I am skipping the translation part this time. Each section of the article will be followed by a brief description. If you need more detailed translation, please refer to the content in GHZ. The QR code is in the show notes.
文章：
In today’s episode, I will continue on the topic of generative AI’s development in business. AI is the hottest topic in business right now. But its adoption has been slow, at least much slower than many have expected. Today’s article looked at how AI has changed companies’ hiring practice.
Generative AI Is Changing the Hiring Calculus at These Companies - WSJ
Introduction:
Generative AI is reshaping the conversation around hiring at many companies as they realize that one way the pricey technology will pay off is if it helps them employ fewer people to do more work.
Portend: be a sign or warning that (something, especially something momentous or calamitous) is likely to happen. 预兆
At KeyBank:
“We’re looking at a lot of interesting tools and they have a lot of promise—but then when you look at the cost of the tool you say, ‘Am I really going to realize that productivity internally or am I just going to increase my technology cost?’” said KeyBank CIO Amy Brady.
At Oshkosh:
Anupam Khare, senior vice president and CIO of specialty vehicle maker Oshkosh Corp., also sees generative AI changing the workforce conversation, with employee productivity gains reducing the need to hire
At Nationwide Insurance:
At insurance company Nationwide Chief Technology Officer Jim Fowler has guided the creation of a tool that analyzes the cost of a given generative AI use case across several different available proprietary large language models.
Proprietary:relating to an owner or ownership. 所有权
