Yahoo's AI-Powered Email Sorting Feature Helps You 'Catch Up'. How It Works
If you're the type of person who struggles with the process of getting through your email inbox, Yahoo Mail is rolling out a new feature that could be just what you need: an AI-powered catch-up tool to help you sift through bundles of unread emails and decide what's important enough to keep around. It's available now and only on the Yahoo Mail iOS and Android apps.
So how's it going to work?
"AI-powered summaries provide scannable email previews, giving users the option to 'delete' or 'keep in inbox' with a simple tap," Yahoo explained. "The final reward? A celebratory screen for users to see how many emails they deleted, and how fast they did it."
Yahoo also cited a few recent survey findings to back up the utility of this new feature. According to the company's own internal data, around half of its email users are either Millennials or Gen Z, with a study conducted by Pollfish finding that nearly 50% of people from those generations claim to have missed important events because of their messy email inboxes, despite 70% also claiming that they check it multiple times a day. That survey was conducted between May 27-28, with 1,000 respondents across the US -- 500 Millennials and 500 Gen Zs.
"We're all anti-email when it becomes another tiring task," Kyle Miller, the general manager for Yahoo Mail, added in a statement. "With Yahoo Mail, personal email is quick and easy to sort and manage, with game-like experiences that are built for mobile, and relevant AI-powered tools integrated."

Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk
Cover In Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk, journalist Faiz Siddiqui looks closely at one of the most powerful and unpredictable people in the world. Musk is very serious about his vision. Even when it's not the easiest or most profitable path. Cover Extract | Chapter – Welcome to level 2 of hell Late one evening shortly after Elon Musk took over Twitter, head of trust and safety Yoel Roth ventured from his desk in the San Francisco office where he had worked for seven years to grab some dinner. Taking a seat on a second-floor sofa, Roth began running down a set of data on child safety at Musk's request. Antonio Gracias, one of Musk's most trusted associates approached. 'What are you doing?' he asked. Roth replied that he was obtaining data on child safety. 'Why are you doing that?' Gracias countered. Because people have concerns about it, Roth said, taken aback by the inquisition. Gracias continued. 'Who told you to do that? ... Why are you doing it?' Again Roth answered. Gracias paused. 'Well ... why are you doing it here?' Gracias' tone was sufficiently disdainful that Roth decided to pick up and relocate. As far as Roth was concerned, he had simply sought a moment's comfort while working to satisfy his boss' orders well after normal hours and it was unreasonable to be forced to justify himself to a strange man with no formal role at the company. For years, Musk had a golden reputation, a genius who saved the US space programme and made electric cars cool. He was everywhere, even on shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Iron Man 2. Gracias, who had similarly put off Tesla's Jerome Guillen with his comments towards factory workers, was starting an important role at Twitter as Musk's chief deputy – managing financial matters, cost cutting and layoffs. His attitude towards the head of trust and safety embodied what Twitter's rank and file feared in their new bosses. So, Twitter employees were not surprised when an email arrived at precisely midnight on 16 November. My phone buzzed at 12.04am. 'Elon just sent an email to the whole company giving us an ultimatum via Google Form,' the person told me. In the days leading up to the midnight email, Twitter had been haemorrhaging advertisers and gutting its ranks, while pushing away power users with sweeping changes aimed at monetising the platform. Against this backdrop of internal discord, Roth had been plotting his resignation. Among his key considerations that month was his personal security. As an executive responsible for content moderation at Twitter, Roth faced vicious online attacks, including threats to his safety. In response, Twitter's corporate security had decided to place a round-the-clock guard outside his home in El Cerrito. Suddenly, however, lawyer Alex Spiro had bad news: Twitter was pulling Roth's personal security. It was a casualty of cost cutting, Musk's lawyer told Roth. But he made sure to punctuate the revelation with a note of reassurance. 'I have clients that are much more famous than you,' he said, in the recollection of a person familiar with the exchange. Not entirely reassuring. That Thursday, Musk held his first all-hands meeting with staff in what was regarded as a disastrous introduction to a company not yet sold on its new owner. To add to the turmoil, that was the moment when Roth, who had stayed on to serve as Twitter's head of trust and safety – in a promising sign of continuity for advertisers – abruptly quit. He timed his resignation email to hit Musk's inbox while he was speaking to the staff so he wouldn't be able to react in haste. The timing carried another important benefit: Roth could exit the building without being escorted out by security. But among Musk and his circle, Roth's resignation quickly triggered a crisis. Suddenly, messages began pouring in – from Musk's top adviser Jared Birchall and lawyer Alex Spiro – trying to convince him to stay. Birchall and Roth talked by phone for nearly an hour, as Birchall made an unsuccessful bid to keep Roth on board, raising, among other subjects, his compensation. Musk was, of course, still occupied with his address to the staff. But at around 3pm, as Twitter staff and the media were digesting news of the all-hands, Roth received a Signal message. It was Musk. 'Do you have a moment to talk?' he asked. 'It would mean a lot if you would consider remaining at Twitter.' The seven-year Twitter veteran had carefully thought out every aspect of the resignation, including how to de-escalate the situation. He knew the risks of making an enemy of Musk, so he decided to pinpoint the three key reasons behind his decision to leave, tailoring his script around the personal career risks and blowback he faced, instead of indicting Musk's leadership.

AI researcher ‘turns down $1bn pay offer from Mark Zuckerberg'
A tech worker has reportedly turned down a $1bn (£750m) pay deal to join Mark Zuckerberg's artificial intelligence (AI) unit amid an escalating war for talent in Silicon Valley. Mr Zuckerberg's Meta reportedly offered several researchers who work at Thinking Machines, a San Francisco-based AI start-up, packages worth hundreds of millions of dollars to join the social media giant. One of those packages would have been worth as much as $1bn over several years, according to a report from Wired, while some researchers were also offered between $200m and $500m over a four-year period. Most deals included an award worth $50m to $100m in the first year. So far, no staff at the start-up have taken up an offer from Meta. Last month, Thinking Machines raised $2bn at a $12bn valuation, despite having no product. A spokesman for Meta disputed the claims, although confirmed it had made a 'handful' of offers to staff at Thinking Machines. 'We made offers only to a handful of people at Thinking Machines and while there was one sizeable offer, the details are off,' the spokesman said. Thinking Machines was founded by 36-year-old Mira Murati, a former OpenAI executive who has become one of the powerful women in tech since launching the company. AI arms race The eye-watering pay offers come amid an AI arms race, with tech giants trying to tempt leading AI scientists and programmers to join their efforts over those of rivals. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI which owns ChatGPT, previously claimed Meta had offered his staff deals worth as much as $100m. Mr Zuckerberg has been personally leading a recruitment drive to attract leading scientists and developers to a new lab within Meta in a race against rivals to build highly powerful AI tools. The Meta chief executive has reportedly been reaching out to dozens of targets with personalised WhatsApp messages and bumper pay deals. Meta is spending tens of billions of dollars on AI data centres that will be used to help create more powerful machine-learning tools that Mr Zuckerberg has claimed could soon transform the economy and society. He has also already recruited around 50 leading researchers and experts for a new 'superintelligence' lab within Meta, after growing frustrated at the lack of progress by his own engineers. Earlier this year, Meta delayed a major update to its AI technology, dubbed Behemoth. Mr Zuckerberg also engineered a $14.3bn deal to poach Alexandr Wang, the founder of AI business Scale AI, to lead his new team, acquiring a 49pc stake in the start-up in the process.
