I flew Spirit Airlines out of LaGuardia on April 28th. With the announcement just days later that the carrier was shutting down, it felt a little like catching the last chopper out of Saigon. Then again, every time you flew Spirit felt a little like catching the last chopper out of Saigon. There were the improbably tiny bags, people packed tightly in seats, and an everpresent sense that the simmering confusion could at any moment break out into full blown calamity. Like most people, I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Spirit. Unlike most people, I once expressed it to…

Anthropic publishes their new approach to AI interpretation, known as NLA.gettyIn today’s column, I examine a newly published approach to interpreting what is occurring inside generative AI and large language models (LLMs). The approach was developed by Anthropic, famed makers of Claude. They have coined the new method as NLA (natural language autoencoders). This approach is one of many that are being explored by AI researchers and AI practitioners worldwide. The hope is to find a suitable means to explain how the numbers and numeric calculations internal to an LLM are capable of representing human concepts and human logic.One of…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Stop using meetings to process your thoughts and concerns. Replace updates in the meeting with pre-reads. Cultivate productive dissent. Make decisions in the room, instead of waiting for a follow-up. Establish who owns what decision so that accountability is easy. Repeated studies highlight just how many meetings leaders are having these days. Many executives I coach spend 30-plus hours in meetings each week, and they’re often double- or triple-booked. Despite the hours they invest, many leaders leave meetings feeling even more behind, unclear and reactive. They’re also left with little…

From sugary cereals to Pop-Tarts and other pastries, many of the things Americans are used to eating first thing in the morning aren’t optimal for health. But according to new research, one traditional breakfast food could help protect your brain, and no, it’s not coffee. It’s eggs. The new report, recently published in the Journal of Nutrition, comes from researchers at Loma Linda University who followed 39,498 participants for 15-plus years. Their study found that regular egg consumption may be linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The benefit appears to be significant. But in order to achieve…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Let me introduce the value formula. It’s a simple, yet effective formula (especially in communication): Value = Relevance + Contrast. Start meetings or conversations with insightful questions, listen twice as much as you speak and avoid generic buzzwords. One of the most counterintuitive lessons senior leaders must internalize is this: Stop talking about yourself. Not just in interviews — in every high‑stakes communication. The instinct to broadcast one’s resume, accomplishments or perspective first is so universal that it feels natural. But in strategic leadership, being natural is often being ineffective.The…

You know the feeling we are talking about. Your friend calls to ask for your help moving on a Saturday when you were planning on doing nothing. Or your sister-in-law asks you to invest in her business, and you are afraid there is no way it will succeed. Even when the person asking for the favor isn’t someone central to your life, it is still painful to say no. Most of us don’t even like saying no to telemarketers. That’s why there are so many jobs in sales. Often, we end up making bad decisions to avoid the short-term discomfort…
