“Human capacity for language is an instinct, but it’s something that must be taught to machines,” said Steven Pinker, professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. “Everyday conversations that require context and understanding of the world come naturally to humans.

“But the other surprise was the large number of failures we identified — over 200 that competed with these 43 companies. And we wonder why investors keep throwing money at platforms that are bad businesses. Uber is the poster child for the observation that ‘platformizing’ a bad business doesn’t make it a good business. When we look at the most successful and profitable platforms, they are inherently good businesses. None of them are bad businesses. That’s an important point to think about. So don’t jump onto what we call the “platform-mania” bandwagon, but really think about what you are you investing in. What is the underlying business, and is it fundamentally good or bad? Those are some key takeaways from the book.”

“China ... has a lot of options. Unlike the United States, China never went to quantitative easing and zero interest rates, so there is plenty of scope for action on the monetary front. It also has fiscal space, which it used a little bit last month to provide some tax incentives for Chinese consumers. It also has currency leverage,” he said.
“Any time to work with Legos and robots on work time is a win, right?,” said Daniel Fortine, a senior interaction designer at Expedia.
“Amazon AI services are fully managed services so there are no deep learning algorithms to build, no machine learning models to train, and no up-front commitments or infrastructure investments required,” Amazon said in its press release. “This frees developers to focus on defining and building an entirely new generation of apps that can see, hear, speak, understand, and interact with the world around them.”
“I didn’t want to be the teacher. I wanted to be a student. I’m a curious person. There’s one job that’s suited for people like me, and that’s writing. If you’re curious, being a writer allows you to ask people lots of questions without them thinking you’re weird,” he said.
