Some U.S. adults are using artificial intelligence for financial guidance, but it’s far from the most trusted source of advice, according to a new Gallup survey conducted in partnership with Edward Jones, a financial services firm. About one in five Americans who have sought financial advice in the past year turned to AI, the survey found. But among U.S. adults overall, only about three in 10 have “a great deal” or “some” confidence in its expertise for managing money, according to the survey, including just 3% who trust AI “a great deal.” The poll, which was conducted in the spring and looked…

A new survey shows employee morale is on the rise after hitting all-time lows. BambooHR, an HR software platform, used employee net promoter scores (eNPS)—a numeric rating of how likely employees are to recommend the organization as a place to work—and turnover data to assess employee happiness. According to the company’s recent global Employee Happiness Index with data from 51,000 employees, eNPS rose to 40 from January to June, the strongest first half of the year since 2023. This follows four consecutive years of decline. The index notes that eNPS in the first half of the year typically outperforms the…
President Trump’s controversial plan to build an enormous ballroom adjacent to—and larger than—the White House just ground to a halt. A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., ruled on Friday that Trump’s ballroom construction isn’t lawful and must stop. In a 2-1 opinion, Judges Patricia Millett and Bradley Garcia asserted that “each president is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House and its Executive Residence,” thus Trump lacks the power to unilaterally rebuild the White House complex to his liking. “The President has no—and claims no—constitutionally assigned authority over that property, which is designed and maintained for…
When I think about one of the most critical thinking tools in the history of civilization, I think about the notebook. Yes, I mean the paper-filled wonder that so many of the world’s greatest thinkers have used to capture thoughts that sometimes contained great ideas. The calculations and ideas behind Einstein’s reimagination of gravity were housed in the famous Zurich Notebook. Ben Franklin used one when he invented bifocals. Charles Darwin also used notebooks. Many of the products, institutions, and disciplines we rely on passed through a notebook at some point. While the function of the notebook to express thoughts…
The White House Quantum Summit brought together dozens of quantum policy officials and industry leaders last month, representing a rare glimmer of bipartisanship as the U.S. hustles to become the first nation to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The summit, which convened on July 7 in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the West Wing, lasted over two hours and covered everything from supply chain resilience to how the U.S. can meet the deadline the Trump administration recently laid out for delivering a quantum supercomputer by 2028. While experimental quantum computers already exist—IBM and other tech companies have built them—the world is rushing to build…
Handwriting has personality. Get to know someone well enough and their handwriting will remind you of them, because we all form letters just a bit differently. Our devices, for the most part, lack that kind of personality. Sure, you can choose a font from a drop-down list in your word processor of choice—but it’s not the same. So what if you could inject some of that unique-to-you personality into your digital discussions? It’s possible—with the right free tool at your fingertips. This tip originally appeared in the free Cool Tools newsletter from The Intelligence. Get the next issue in your…
Most people take for granted that the messages they send via popular messaging apps like Meta’s WhatsApp or Apple’s iMessage are end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), meaning that no one but the sender and receiver—not even WhatsApp or Apple—can read the contents. Unfortunately, this rock-solid privacy-preserving encryption doesn’t extend to the other major type of messages we send: emails. Not a one of the big four email providers—Google’s Gmail, Apple’s iCloud Mail, Microsoft’s Outlook, or Yahoo Mail—supports end-to-end encryption for personal accounts. Fortunately, if you do want E2EE protection for your emails similar to what you have for your texts, there are…
Alphonzo Terrell was the global head of social and editorial at Twitter, until Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition that led to roughly 80% of the company’s workforce being laid off—Terrell included. But he wasted no time in creating his own social media platform, Spill, with a very clear perspective. After years of seeing firsthand how harmful and exploitative social media can be to Black and queer folks in particular, Terrell wanted to design a space to serve, safeguard, and give equity to those communities. The app includes features such as Spades (a popular card game within the Black community) and…
