The ultimate entertainment tablet: Like-new Fire Max 11 now $130

Prime Day isn't officially here yet, but Prime Day deals are. Or, at least a peak of what the deals are going to look like. One of the most exciting of these deals gives you a refurbished Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet for just $130, which is down $70 from the usual $200 and a full $100 less than the retail price of a completely new one. You can even save 20% more with an applicable trade-in. There's no doubt that this is one of the best tablet deals going on at the moment, so tap the button below to lock it in. Or, keep reading to see why you'll like this tablet, take a peek at what our time with it was like, and what it means for something to be refurbished to the 'Like-New' level at Amazon. Why you should buy an Amazon Fire Max 11 The Amazon Fire Max 11 is an 11-inch tablet with a 2000 x 1200 resolution. It has 4GB of RAM and, though it starts with 64GB of storage, you can expand its storage to up to 1 TB with a micro-SD card. All of this combined with its fast Wi-Fi 6 capabilities make for a great experience for watching content and taking in visuals. While a lot of this is fairly standard, where the tablet really shines is its casing. With strong glass and a lightweight aluminum casing it'll feel good to hold yet also manage to withstand the small bumps of everyday usage. Plus, as mentioned in our Amazon Fire Max 11 review, it has a really usable kickstand that makes countertop usage a snap. At the end of the day, our reviewer stated that watching video was the tablet's 'forte' and that still holds up at this time. But, before you get it, what's up it being refurbished? It's a little different for every retailer, but Amazon's 'Like-New' is one of the best possible variations of this you can see. It ensures the product has been tested by Amazon, is fully functional, tested and charged, and all of the software on the tablet is updated during testing. My best guess is that these tablets were returned or traded in after light usage (this version has lock screen ads, which will inevitably turn some people off) and not after some roughhousing. So, should you get this tablet even though it's refurbished? Absolutely. Plus, you can say you're contributing to helping our planet while you take your discount. As a reminder, that discount is $70 off of the usual $200 price, making the tablet just $130 while this limited time deal lasts. All you need to do to make it yours is tap the button below.

Apple weighs using Anthropic or OpenAI to power Siri in major reversal, Bloomberg News reports

Apple is weighing using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, instead of its own in-house models, Bloomberg News reported on Monday. Shares of the iPhone maker, which had traded down earlier in the session, closed 2% higher on Monday. Apple has had discussions with both companies about using their large language models for Siri, asking them to train versions of their LLMs that could run on Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing, the report said, citing people familiar with the discussions. Apple's investigation into third-party models is at an early stage and the company has not made a final decision on using them, the report said. Amazon-backed Anthropic declined to comment, while Apple and OpenAI did not respond to Reuters requests. The company had in March said AI improvements to its voice assistant Siri will be delayed until 2026, without giving a reason for the setback. Apple shook up its executive ranks to get its AI efforts back on track after months of delays, resulting in Mike Rockwell taking charge of Siri, as CEO Tim Cook lost confidence in AI head John Giannandrea's ability to execute on product development, Bloomberg had reported in March. At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, Apple focused more on incremental developments that improve everyday life — including live translations for phone calls — rather than the sweeping ambitions for AI that Apple's rivals are capitalizing. Apple software chief Craig Federighi had then said it is opening up the foundational AI model that the iPhone maker uses for some of its own features to third-party developers, and that the company will offer both its own and OpenAI's code completion tools in its key Apple developer software.

What Happens To Work When AI Does The Easy Parts?

TOPSHOT - A robot using artificial intelligence is displayed at a stand during the International ... More Telecommunication Union (ITU) AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, on May 30, 2024. Humanity is in a race against time to harness the colossal emerging power of artificial intelligence for the good of all, while averting dire risks, a top UN official said. (Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP) (Photo by FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP via Getty Images) A mantra in press releases about generative AI in corporations has been that it will 'free up people to do more creative work.' Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, claimed that 'AI will do our drudge work, freeing us to do the creative tasks where humans excel.' But Microsoft also announced cuts of 6,000 jobs in May, partly attributed to AI automation. Andy Jassy, Amazon's CEO, stated that 'Agents will allow us to start almost everything from a more advanced starting point… focus less on rote work and more on thinking strategically about improving customer experiences and inventing new ones.' Amazon has announced 27,000 layoffs since 2022, for some of which AI efficiencies were explicitly cited. Similar patterns exist for other tech firms, including Meta and Duolingo. What's going on? Is this just a mismatch between PR and the efficiency imperative? Is there any evidence that the jobs are being redesigned for increased creative content, or are we experiencing a straightforward substitution of people for AIs? Perhaps is neither of these, but rather that contradictory messages are natural as executives naviate the fog of transition to a radically new technology. AI certainly has the potential to free people to spend more time on creative tasks. It can create slack time for learning, innovation, or deep thinking about a design. It can also be used to create jobs with broader accountability or a richer work environment. But if any of these is happening, it isn't being discussed. That is too bad. Businesses could be missing an opportunity, one that goes beyond task automation to rethinking the design of work and technology. They may be missing the chance to take true advantage of the expanding capabilities of generative AI. A narrow focus on efficiency can shift attention away from other important metrics, like customer satisfaction and employee engagement. The irony is that an efficiency mindset might not even maximize efficiency, at least in the long run. In an interview, Patricia Sachs, a workplace anthropologist, told me that "automation mechanizes the way things are supposed to happen. But they almost never happen as expected." The reason is that much work in the real world is invisible, involving workarounds, improvisations, and social networks. As Sachs noted, "none of these appear in the workflow diagram or org chart." This was true at Klarna, a leader in the deployment of generative AI. The company has claimed that AI handles about two-thirds of customer service chats, equivalent to the work of over 700 agents. Their initial results showed, in addition, a drop in resolution times and reduced repeat inquiries, all while maintaining customer satisfaction. But Klarna has started to recruit human agents again, acknowledging that automation led to declines in service quality, customer satisfaction, and trust. CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski acknowledged that "cost unfortunately seems to have been a too predominant evaluation factor" in the AI initiative, which led to reductions in quality, morale and trust. The company is now hiring human agents and seeking a more productive blend of AI efficiency and human empathy. Others are reaching similar conclusions. Ravin Jesuthasan, a senior partner at Mercer, cites lessons he learned from a large-scale case study of AI implementation at a financial services firm. The results were impressive, including a reduction in the work of the current staff by 50% and an 18% reduction in employee turnover. In the article, "Want AI-Driven Productivity? Redesign Work," he argues the key to lasting AI success is to start with the work, not the technology. These early experiences emphasize the importance of a focus the messy, human, frequently-changing work that is at the center of any good AI application. Starting with the technology risks missing something important that can erode financial benefits. So what should executives do? Success is more about mindset and taking an holistic approach than it is about technology. Moving beyond a narrow focus on efficiency will lead to more durable and customer-friendly technology and more productive workplaces.
