Insider Finance - Business - Mapping the suspicious aerial objects

Hello, Insiders. AI is the topic on everyone’s minds right now (other than last night’s Super Bowl). So this week, I’m focusing my notes on the ways it might change the world — starting with how it can work for you.

A big benefit is that AI can help boost productivity. You can use tools like ChatGPT as a Google alternative for research, and save tons of time by using it to analyze data. A realtor told us he’d used it to write real-estate listings; a lawyer used it to help write a will for himself. AI also helped write a children’s book. Tools like Grammarly can help you catch mistakes in text.

But there’s so much more to explore — stay tuned to my notes the rest of the week. And I’d love to hear your thoughts on AI: insidertoday@insider.com. For now, let’s get started.

The babies in the Snoo's 2019 ads weren't nearly happy enough. The tots had been photographed fast asleep, strapped into the $1,700 high-tech bassinets. 

But Nina Montée Karp, a cofounder of Happiest Baby, the company behind the Snoo, wanted them to smile, two former employees said. So she told a marketing employee to digitally adjust the corners of the babies' mouths upward and add a pink flush to their cheeks. 

Some Happiest Baby employees say it was just one of many absurd demands they faced from Montée Karp and her husband and cofounder, Dr. Harvey Karp. 

Karp and Montée Karp launched the Snoo in 2016 and have since been hailed as visionaries — the saviors of sleep.

But more than a dozen former Happiest Baby employees and one current one described the company as a celebrity-obsessed, gossip-fueled "surveillance state." (A Happiest Baby representative said employees' concerns about management were "factually incorrect.")
