NYTimes: “…Kids these days — Gen Z and Alpha — aren’t talking about Googling things. They may still be using Google, but they’re not “Googling it.” Instead they’re saying “search it up,” as in: Who is that Norwegian soccer player with the long blond hair? Search it up. The “it” is dropped if you have a direct object, as when you “search up Erling Haaland.” The shift toward using this phrasal verb has been profound in the youngest generations.”
WSJ: “The newest generation of companies, infused with AI from the start, offer a vision of how work could soon be structured elsewhere in American corporations: fewer co-workers; more on-staff engineers; and a flatter structure in which nearly everyone is a player-coach instead of strictly overseeing teams.”
Naomi Kanakia: “The Great Books concept is about placing faith in those who came before us. They all rely on trusting other people’s judgment.”
WSJ: “So-called frontier AI models, or the most capable systems made by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, can be expensive to use partly because they require a lot of compute and process large numbers of tokens, AI’s basic unit of measurement. But these state-of-the-art models are considered the best because they can “reason” through complex, multistep problems and are capable of supporting a variety of tasks, including powering autonomous AI agents. The calculus often is as much a business decision as an engineering decision. If paying a premium for a frontier model means a better product or an upper hand over rivals, many companies say it’s worth it.”
