Meta CEO馬克·祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）剛剛又加入到了一個比1000億美元俱樂部更排他性的俱樂部。資料顯示，特斯拉CEO埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）、亞馬遜創始人傑夫·貝索斯（Jeff Bezos），以及Meta CEO祖克柏是地球上唯一淨資產達到2000億美元的人。 今年，祖克柏的財富史無前例地增加了720億美元，如今已達到2000億美元。自1月初以來，Meta股價飆升了近60%，達到每股560美元以上的前所未有高點，從而推動祖克柏實現這一里程碑。 貝索斯是今年重新加入到了這個超級俱樂部，這要歸功於其淨資產激增了390億美元，如今達到2160億美元。今年，亞馬遜股價上漲了約28%，達到190多美元，接近歷史最高水平。 今年年初，馬斯克的財富為2290億美元。截至週一收盤，其財富在不到九個月的時間內激增了360億美元，達到2650億美元，高居全球榜首。 今年年初，LVMH CEO伯納德·阿諾特（Bernard Arnault）的淨資產也達到了2000億美元。但由於公司股價今年下跌了近16%，使阿諾特的財富減少約300億美元，如今為1770億美元。 阿諾特一度排名該富豪榜首位，但如今已降至第五位。甲骨文公司CEO拉里·埃裡森（Larry Ellison）目前排名第四，今年淨資產增加了570億美元，目前總資產為1780億美元。 埃裡森和阿諾特的身價距離2000億美元還差200多億美元，這意味著二人短期內還無法加入到該俱樂部。 馬斯克、貝索斯、祖克柏和埃裡森都從 AI熱潮中受益匪淺。投資者押注特斯拉可以利用AI為其自動駕駛汽車和人形機器人提供動力，亞馬遜可以利用AI來提升其雲端服務和電子商務利潤，Meta可以將社群媒體和數位通訊提升到一個新水平，而甲骨文可以通過出租其AI資料中心的容量而致富。 Source link

This month, OpenAI released a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it says can reason like a person to solve complex problems. It will continue to improve.

We have come a long way in monitoring heart health. In the late 19th century, things were much more invasive; scientists examining a patient’s cardiac activity punctured heart muscles…
