Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, is confident that if tariffs exist, the US will fall into a recession this year. “This is all subject to tariffs that stay at these levels, and if they stay at these levels, they will definitely have a recession in 2025,” Sloak told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on Monday.

Over two years, I occasionally presented my experiences with AI bots (mainly ChatGpt). This is also used in featured images for posts. However, except for “Tictok, Godot, Absurd Politics, Nabes,” I don’t directly address AI Bot’s sense of humor. Let’s take a look at a recent example.

Unlike previous generations, they are already mostly familiar with touchscreens, streaming or instant information. Overall, they are…
AMY GALLO: You’re listening to Women at Work from Harvard Business Review. I’m Amy Gallo. Think back to your first job out of college. Mine was working as a program manager for a small nonprofit. And while I was incredibly organized and good at moving work forward, a skill I’d honed as an undergrad in those torturous group projects, I was also overconfident and unaware of the more nuanced skills I needed, like how to write an email that would get people to do what I wanted them to or how to relay a decision the executive director had made…
