Looks like OpenAI is planning to start mobilizing for profit.

OpenAI’s board is now considering plans to restructure the firm to a for-profit business, according to a source who asked to remain anonymous. They also said the company will retain its non-profit segment as a separate entity.

This news comes after recent months of the company losing its top talent like research chief Bob McGrew and research vice president Barret Zoph. They have also been leaking other talent heavily this year.

The company, which is backed by Microsoft, is currently pursuing a funding round that would value the company at more than $150 billion.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Mastering Market Research For Your Affiliate Campaigns

You’re diving into the exhilarating world of affiliate marketing, but you need some clarification about where to start. Yeah, I get it—Market Research (or just MR) is a complicated process. One of the trickiest parts of the game is doing MR to get usable information. You can get stuck in this stage forever, spinning your wheels, or even worse, you skim through it and make expensive mistakes. Navigating MR’s labyrinth can be like finding a needle in a haystack. 

Don’t worry though! We’ve got the inside track on the golden 5-step process that’ll make you feel like you’ve got a PhD in MR. 

Ready? Let’s dive in

Step 1: Know Your Turf

This one’s crucial. Don’t pigeonhole yourself by picking a narrow market right off the bat. Research your market. Ask questions like: What’s already out there? Who are the big players? Are customers griping about something you can fix? It’s like mapping the battlefield before the war.

Step 2: Let’s Get Chatty

Now that you have a lay of the land, send out a slick survey. No email list? C’mon, get resourceful: start small to build up. Get that percentage of “would buy” above 85%. That’s your green light, folks. MR Hack Alert: Thank me later—offer a little coupon at the end of the survey. It builds goodwill, and every sale’s a sale!

Step 3: Real Talk

The Coffee House Approach or The Social Media Approach—pick your poison. Real feedback from real people is priceless! Chat up strangers, toss ’em a gift card, or heck, buy their coffee. All roads lead to golden nuggets of market intel.

Step 4: Put Your Money Where Your Ad Is

Paid media testing, my friends. Facebook ads, partnerships—you name it. Don’t get too ahead, however, start small. Three iterations should give you a good snapshot. If the numbers look good, you’re golden.

Step 5: Go Big or Go Back

If the data’s not giving you that warm, fuzzy feeling of assured victory, it’s back to the drawing board. But that’s okay. Information is power, and you’re gathering plenty.

So there you have it! Market research demystified. Start implementing these steps, and watch your affiliate marketing game go from zero to hero. Who’s ready to crush it?

Boeing Looks To End Strike

A strike that is costing Boeing huge amounts of money is still going on. Boeing wants to change that.

Boeing this week has sweetened its contract offer calling it the “best and final” proposal for its more than 30,000 machnists. The strike has halted most of the aerospace giant’s aircraft production, and is estimated to be costing Boeing $50 million a day. Rating agencies have even commented that the longer the strike lasts the higher chance the company has of being downgraded.

The latest strike is the unionized work groups first since 2008.

The new offer would raise general wages by 30% over four years, which is an increase from a previously offered 25%. It would also double the ratification bonus to $6,000, reinstate an annual bonus, and increase its 401(k) match. As of now the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the labor union, has not commented on the offer. Boeing has stated that the offer is contingent upon ratification by Friday at 11:59 p.m. P.T.

The previous offer was rejected with workers voting 94.6% against it. Many machinists stated they are prepared for a long strike, and many have begun taking side jobs like delivering food or working in warehouses to help sustain them as they fight for more pay. Both Boeing and the union stated they were disappointed with negotiations last week.

Since the start of the strike, Boeing has temporarily been furloughing nonunion workers, put in place a hiring freeze, reduced travel, and reduced other benefits for employees as cost cutting measures during the strike.

TECH
AI-Powered Tech Could Help Those With Speech Impairments

Ever been misunderstood by your AI assistant? You say one thing, and it hears another. Well, that problem can be much larger for those with speech impediments, and with the rise of remote work it can make using some things to ease your workload even harder.

In steps Voiceitt and its co-founder Sara Smolley looking to facilitate speech recognition for non-standard speech patters. For her, it is a personal mission.

“My grandmother with diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease. By the time I was born, she had lost most of her motor capabilities, and her speech was impacted,” she said.

By using personalized voice models, Voiceitt aims to help those with speech impairments have easier access to voice based AI technology. Launched in 2021, the app has operated as a simple vocal translator that converts non-standard speech to audio. It originally was intended as an in-person communication tool, but is now focused on helping remote workers.

“One of the things that really stood out to me was the importance of accessibility technology in the workplace,” Smolley said. “What a (wheelchair) ramp was to yesterday’s office building Voiceitt is to today’s remote workplace.”

Currently, the software is sold either on a per-minute or per-user license, and the prices range from $20 to $50. They also can be bought in bulk for workplaces and health or education institutions.

“People are usin gVoiceitt not just for video meetings, but for writing documents, emails, posting on LinkedIn and accessing web browsers by voice. This has opened up the digital world for individuals who previously might not have been considered for certain jobs or able to communicate with colleagues or customers,” Smolley explained.

AROUND THE ZOO

  • Eric Adams, the Mayor of NYC, has been federally charged with bribery in a decade-long corruption scheme. The indictment accuses Adams of accepting illegal benefits from foreign businesspeople and a Turkish government official in exchange for favorable treatment.

  • Lawmakers have bought themselves a little more time by funding the government but now face a crunch as the current funding will end on December 12th right before the holidays.

  • Hurricane Helene has made landfall in Florida as a category 4 storm. The storm could head up the coast and may target the Carolinas which have already seen historic rainfall during the hurricane season this year.

HEALTH

Dealing With Your Stressful And Busy Life

Ever feel like you’re going non-stop and still not managing to get anything done? Life can feel like that sometimes, but it’s important to make sure you take time to manage your stress levels to avoid a myriad of problems. Stress is linked to many negative health outcomes like high blood pressure, headaches, biabetes, depression, and many more so we’re here to help.

Don’t Settle For Poor Sleep

Good quality sleep is immensely important for not just our mental health, but our physical health. If you’re exhausted, it is hard to stay on task and check things off the to-do list. Sleep also helps repair our bodies, and allows our brains to fully process new information. Those with better quality of sleep tend to improve faster at things, and have a better overall mental health.

Don’t Forget To Sweat

Can you feel the burn? Good! While adding another thing to the schedule may seem like the wrong thing to do it actually can be very beneficial to have regular physical activity. It can relieve stress, increase your energy levels, and give your a longer lifespan!

No One’s Perfect; Accept Help

There is no one person that can do everything. Michael Jordan couldn’t land a rocket on the moon, and Carl Sagan probably wouldn’t be any good in the NBA. Your time is valuable, so seeking perfectionism is just wasting what time you do have. Sometimes it’s more about getting things done rather than being perfect, so don’t be afraid to let others help you. Their own skills might surprise you in the end.

Don’t Forget The Fun Stuff

Take a moment to smell the roses. Making time for fun, family, or even to just enjoy your life is important to help reduce your stress. Make sure to be present in these moments, not multitasking to accomplish work.
