Experiment shows AI can perform a CEO's job better than humans, but it struggles in a crisis
A hot potato: Most CEOs love generative AI, lauding its ability to streamline companies and make them more efficient – a process that usually involves laying off workers. But wouldn't it be ironic if the chief executives found themselves out of a job, replaced by a machine? A new study suggests AI can perform a CEO role better than a human, but there are scenarios where it struggles, meaning it's more likely to get fired more quickly.

Word Processing on a $200 Chromebook, Coming From an Enthusiast Desktop
The idea of getting work done from a Chromebook seemed unlikely when my editor first asked me about reviewing one. Much to my surprise, a browser-based operating system isn't as boxed in as I thought it would be, while $200 worth of hardware isn't as underwhelming as I expected for everyday performance.
