It could be clothing, bedding, furniture, appliances or old cell phones. Whatever it is, it often ends up in the trash once you’re done it, flushing your money down the toilet in the process.

We all probably know colleagues who have lost their jobs in the past year. In January alone, NBC News, Time magazine, Business Insider and The Los Angeles Times announced major layoffs. Many journalists who are no longer staffers are turning to freelancing, perhaps for the first time. With that in mind, I spoke with Anna Medaris, who held staff positions for nearly 15 years, most recently at Business Insider, where she was a health correspondent. She took a buyout in June 2023 during a strike that was partly over proposed layoffs. In this interview, Medaris discusses her approach to launching…
Haya Ajjan eagerly sat in front of her computer on Monday, joking she was on the edge of her seat, watching OpenAI announce its newest iteration of ChatGPT. “I thought, right away, this is going to change personalized learning,” said Ajjan, associate dean at Elon University’s Love School of Business in North Carolina. ChatGPT’s newest version, GPT-4o ( the “o” standing for “omni,” meaning “all”), has a more realistic voice and quicker verbal response time, both aiming to sound more human.
