The US-Israel war against Iran has now entered its tenth week and there has been little progress on the stalled peace talks. These are the major takeaways from what happened overnight. What did Trump say? Iran reportedly sent a response to Washington’s latest proposal – a one-page memo aimed at ending the war – but it was rejected by US President Donald Trump. “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” he wrote on social media on Sunday. Tehran’s Tasnim news agency, citing an “informed source”, reported that...

If you want to profit from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, buying an ETF packed with growth stocks can be a good way to do it. One such popular fund is the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NASDAQ: VONG) . This fund lets you own hundreds of stocks of large U.S. companies that are part of the Russell 1000 Index , including major AI stocks , and all for a low expense ratio of 0.06%. But this ...
If you want to profit from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, buying an ETF packed with growth stocks can be a good way to do it. One such popular fund is the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NASDAQ: VONG) . This fund lets you own hundreds of stocks of large U.S. companies that are part of the Russell 1000 Index , including major AI stocks , and all for a low expense ratio of 0.06%. But this ETF has a few limitations that make it not the best choice for many investors. And for the past year, the fund has underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index while staying about even with the S&P 500 . Two other Vanguard ETFs could be a better buy than VONG. Let's look at a few reasons not to buy the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF -- and what to buy instead. Continue reading
想象这样一个场景:一封邮件进来了。 你打开Outlook,让Claude分拣收件箱,它告诉你哪封需要你亲自回、哪封可以帮你起草、哪些是噪音可以忽略。 其中有一封带附件的,发件人要一份项目评审材料。Claude读完邮件正文,已经知道对方要什么。 这时你把附件在Word里打开,这个Word文件已经套好公司模板,Claude可以按现有标题样式、编号规则和格式要求起草memo(工作备忘录)。所有改动都以tracked changes(修订模式)呈现,你逐条确认就好。 memo里有几个数字需要建模支撑。你再切到Excel,让Claude搭模型,多个sheet(工作表)之间的公式关系都被完整保留。 数字跑完,再转进PowerPoint。Claude按你已打开的公司模板生成deck(演示文稿)。 然后再回到Outlook起草评审邀请,Claude会在你有权限查看的范围内检查参会者的日历空档生成会议邀请,并在Outlook的日历新建事件界面里打开,你检查一遍点发送后才会发出。 从收到邮件到发送会议邀请,Claude在四个Office应用中无缝切换,全程你没有重复解释过一次「这个项目是什么」。 这样的场景,并不是设想。Claude刚刚上线的功能,已经让它成为了现实。 5月7日,Anthropic官宣:Claude for Excel、PowerPoint、Word已经全面上线,Claude for Outlook进入公测。 覆盖范围是所有付费计划,包括Pro、Max、Team、Enterprise。 这次升级,不是Claude又多了几个Office插件,而是一次身份切换——让Claude从网页聊天框里的问答工具,变成贴着你的文件流转、嵌进整个工作流的智能体。 一封邮件进来,四个Office跑完 大多数人使用AI办公工具的体验是这样的:先把文件内容复制进聊天框,问问题,再把答案复制回文件。 在多个Office应用中切换,每次都要重新解释一遍背景。Claude for Microsoft 365想解决的正是这件事。 https://claude.com/claude-for-microsoft-365 以前你用AI助手改一份Excel模型,再去让它生成PPT,第二步你要重新说一遍「这是一份XXX的财务模型,假设是XXX」。 Claude for Microsoft 365的设计是:你不需...

DeepMind 刚上任的 AGI 经济学总监 Alex Imas 曾担忧 AI 导致失业和需求坍缩,如今提出一个谨慎乐观判断,AI 会压低可复制劳动价格,也会推高护理、教育、医疗、服务等关系型劳动的价值。 专注研究 AI 对经济社会的影响的顶级学者,芝加哥大学教授 Alex Imas 加入谷歌 DeepMind 担任 AGI 经济学总监(Director of AGI Economics),DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis 转发确认了这一重大人事消息。 https://x.com/alexolegimas/status/2052778908882174302 https://x.com/demishassabis/status/2052949334715502775 Imas 原本是芝加哥大学经济学家,长期研究行为经济学和 AI 对劳动力市场的影响。 他不只是在论文里讨论技术冲击的人。 他一边认真使用 Claude、ChatGPT 等前沿模型,一边严肃对待 AI 可能带来的失业、工资份额下降和需求坍缩。 更准确地说,他曾经非常悲观。 此前在接受《财富》杂志采访时,Imas 说,自己最初的反应是害怕。 自动化如果消灭大量岗位,工资收入随之萎缩,只有资本所有者还握有购买力,但他们已经接近消费饱和。 被替代的劳动者买不起东西,需求下降,经济收缩,这是近年来 AI 经济讨论中最具压迫感的场景之一。 现在,他给出了一个相对乐观的答案。 这个答案的关键词不是 AGI,不是生产率爆炸,也不是全民基本收入。 而是人。 星巴克带来的启示 Imas 最近反复提到星巴克。 这家公司卖的是高度标准化的咖啡产品。 技术上,减少门店人力并不难。 过去几年,咖啡连锁企业一直在通过自动化、流程化和人员压缩来保护利润率。 但星巴克新任 CEO Brian Niccol 最近做了一个反向动作,恢复手写杯身、陶瓷杯、舒适座椅,重新强调门店里的「人味」。 更多咖啡师被招聘,一些自动化流程被降速。 这件事被 Imas 看作一个信号。 当 AI 让越来越多商品和服务变得便宜、标准、可复制时,真正稀缺的东西会换地方。 过去稀缺的是产能、技术、渠道,未来更稀缺的可能是人的在场、人与人的关系、某种不可复制的来源感。 Starbucks 的调整看起来很小,放进 AI 经济的大背景里,却很值得玩...
