Sabbath mode and assistive technology features "There's a secret mode that comes with almost all large ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and other large kitchen appliances. It is called Sabbath mode, and there is a very specific reason it is provided by the manufacturer." WYSIWYGPT "[ChatGPT] caused an avalanche of news items and blog posts calling'game over' for web developers and that soon all the work to build web products will be done by machines. Any person will be able to do that job -- all you need to do is to ask the chatbot the right questions." Advertising folk, it's time to rethink what we're selling "Every time we step on a bus or open a social media app, the invisible hand of our industry is there to build demand for new products and services that might make life better.

This month, we look at some of the most powerful ideas that challenge the status quo and offer you some new inspiring ideas for the New Year on how to create and run your company with a passion for people and the way your business treats them. When we began the movement to recognize companies that truly cared about doing business the right way and coined it "Social Capital" last year, we knew we were recognizing many old school values. It was based partly on the thoughtful and brilliant ruminations of Adam Smith, often called the Father of Capitalism, in which he explained the philosophical rationality of caring for others and an economic system that actually rewards business done in ethical way.

What does GPT-3's AI-generated op-ed teach us about ourselves? The answers are in the subtext. Well, readers, it finally happened. I've been replaced by a robot. Last week, The Guardian published an essay "written" by GPT-3, OpenAI's new language generator. According to the news outlet, "GPT-3 is a cutting edge language model that uses machine learning to produce human like text. It takes in a prompt, and attempts to complete it."

As a birthplace for global tech disrupters, Europe -- home to the likes of Spotify and Skype -- still lags behind the US and China and their juggernauts such as Apple, Alibaba, Google and Amazon. The continent is also falling behind North America and east Asia in artificial intelligence, as measured by investment and patent activity. A fragmented digital market, limited risk capital and onerous bureaucracy are several reasons cited for Europe playing catch up to Silicon Valley. However, Europe's more regulated, activist political culture has proved to be an asset, as highlighted by many of the region's start-ups tackling social-services issues in the "tech for good" sector and working directly with central and local governments in "govtech". Europe's start-ups reflect its public service traditions, says Paul Duan, founder of Bayes Impact, a non-profit group that built an AI -powered job counsellor.

We need to think about every company as if it is a network Networks and the Nature of the Firm "The existence of high transaction costs outside firms led to the emergence of the firm as we know it, and management as we know it….The reverse side of Coase's argument is as important: If the (transaction) costs of exchanging value in the society at large go down drastically as is happening today [because of networks], the form and logic of economic and organizational entities necessarily need to change! The mainstream firm, as we have known it, becomes the more expensive alternative."Esko

As the founder of O'Reilly Media, one of the tech industry's most prolific publishers, Tim O'Reilly popularized the terms open source and Web 2.0. He organizes conferences that both define and advance technology trends. In 2016, while developing one of these conferences--the Next:Economy Summit about the future of work--O'Reilly began to focus on the increasingly anxious discourse concerning allegedly biased algorithms, job-annihilating artificial intelligence, and social media–manipulating bots. In his new book, WTF?: What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us, O'Reilly argues that the invisible hand of the market will not automatically brush these threats aside. He warns that to fend off instability and suffering on a global scale, companies need to give up their addiction to maximizing shareholder value at any cost and get back to building businesses that put customers first.
