Senior Women Needed for Career Journey Interviews

Moving from the US to the UK has definitely been a learning experience...the two countries share a lot culturally, but one key difference I really appreciate is the British don't have the same tendency to equate career with identity. When I first arrived in London from the US, I didn’t even realise I was so stressed. I thought that was just adulthood. ⏰ Urgency = importance. ⏰ Calm felt suspicious. ⏰ Being available at all hours was just how things were. ⏰ Obviously you still work on vacation. ⏰ The ping of an email notification causes the blood pressure to spike. But the people I was meeting in London were different... People talked about how much they enjoyed their weekends. Meetings started without apologies for not having worked late. When I met new people, the conversation didn’t immediately turn into an inventory of former employers. I started noticing that people genuinely left work at work. Not in a lazy way. They just had…boundaries. Whoa. I know this can be easier said than done, but for myself, I’ve slowly realised that easing back on my Go-go-go approach has actually made my work better. Turning off the work brain makes sleep come easier and when I come back to work, my thinking is better. When I meet new people, I now ask them about their LIVES, not just their careers. Because we are all so much more than just our job titles. And when emails come in on the weekend? I usually read them and then mark them Unread until Monday. Gone are the days of Email Ping = Tightening Chest of Urgency. Honestly, I know I’ll send a more thoughtful email on Monday morning and the delay is not going to hurt anyone. I’ve still got plenty of American shortcomings, I won’t deny that! And I’m still driven; I still care deeply about my work. But I am grateful to be getting better at letting go of the tendency to equate identity and work, urgency and importance. Moral of the story: regardless of where you live, be less American. Give yourself space to breathe. Give yourself permission to be more than your career. -- P.S. I’m Rachel — leadership coach for people carrying a little too much. I help you get clear, make decisions, and build momentum without doing everything yourself. 🔎 in January, I am looking to interview women in senior roles about their careers: what got them here, where they want to go, what they’d do differently if they could do it all again.

Reporters on Newsroom Accessibility-Northeast for The Word

Editors, reporters, and others in the news-o-sphere: If you haven't been reading the magazine The Word from Equal Access Public Media, you're missing out on great interviews, analysis, and opinions on accessibility (and more) in journalism. Check it out at https://the-word.news. I have been taking off the editor hat a little more to report and write a bit more. On that note, I'm actually looking for reporters who might be interested in letting me interview them for a couple pieces I have in mind. Yes, this right here is a journo-request seeking other journalists. •Do you work at a news outlet and your job is actually accessibility? I'd love to hear from you! I'd like to do the "day-in-a-life-of" the newsroom accessibility coordinator or visuals accessibility expert at a news outlet. Would especially help if you are in the Northeast so I could shadow you in person for a couple of hours so we could really do the "day-in-a-life-of" properly. •Do you cover politics and you go the extra mile in your stories and on social media to make it understandable because you want to reach as many people as possible? To explain the jargon? To really let your news audience know what those elected officials are talking about? To demystify the process and the bills? Reach out to me. I'd love to interview about making politics more accessible. • Are you out there covering the anti-ICE protests? Did you cover protests in the past? Do you have a lot of experience in covering protests? I'd love to talk to you about the best way to cover protests, including how to keep yourself safe. (Also, if you are a neurodivergent reporter out there covering protests, I'm really curious to talk to you.) I am very flexible with my fellow journalists when it comes to interviewing because, well, we're all busy working journalists. I know I personally am wearing quite a few hats. Feel free to reach out to me! [email redacted] or on Signal, stacykess.01. #JournoRequest #News #NewsForJournalists #NonprofitNews

AI Experts on Yann LeCun AMI Labs World Model Startup - Sifted

A leaked pitch deck has shed more light on former Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun's new startup. LeCun's venture, AMI Labs, is betting on so-called “world models”: AI systems designed to understand and reason about the physical world, rather than just generate text. According to a deck [url=https://email.sifted.eu/e3t/Ctc/LZ+113/d2mfCN04/VW_nRt4yTl7BW4B--_55nVNk4W8SvcRS5JgvgdN3wqV7M3qgz0W7Y8-PT6lZ3nXW27-p_Y6Wlz-1W3LMyZv6ZH7KHW3sHr1J1NnldqW8vbYKm2Y9ldkN3yPKf-Z35S-W5TpvGT6Q09dHW6j-PGl5-PzhSW2wbyDt5D1kBVW8gY_NS8YBLxtW3d75Qf3px46yW69-MhR56pl8qW1kZwQQ51KYwQVLglDG2_mVlRW3PgPHT939Gx1W1dLxxw8L8WyLW4pRSnQ38dd91W25Ms_T2St2_CW5qbnDB15KLP5W8jmGPn3_sf31N21zl3GzZrZzW1kcsRs650ZqsVk__fw2VvzTXW6NpCP_2kDDD7VrpbF-454cD9W2ppGF83H4926W279QCg81x5PRf9bBG6M04]seen by Sifted,[/url] AMI wants to build what it calls “the first foundational world model for business”, targeting applications from AI-powered wearables to robotics and manufacturing tools. The company, which launched late last year after LeCun left Meta, is reportedly raising €500m at a €3bn valuation; it’s already been poaching talent from Meta and Google DeepMind, as Sifted reported on Monday. AMI plans to run research out of Paris, with hubs in Singapore, Montreal and New York, while partnering with other companies to gather real-world video data to train its flagship model, “AMI Video”. LeCun is betting the house that world models will be able to take AI to the next level, ditching large language models (LLMs) in the process. As a world-leading expert in the field, he may have a point. What do you think? As always, [url=mailto:[email redacted]]I’m keen to hear your thoughts.[/url] To respond, please email me directly or share your perspective to [url=mailto:[email redacted]][email redacted][/url].
