  "account": "The article \"Friday links: mediating norms\" compiles a collection of financial and technology-focused articles.\n\nAmong the topics covered are bond investments, specifically municipal bonds, and the importance of diversification beyond traditional asset classes. The article also touches on the challenges investors face when dealing with thematic Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and highlights the insights from Jeff Malec in his interview with Ian Cassel, author of \"Stock Picker.\"\n\nThe discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) is prevalent, with articles addressing the difficulty companies have in achieving returns from AI investments. There's also a cautionary note that AI doesn't necessarily need to reach superintelligence to cause harm, as highlighted by Cal Newport. The efficiency of open-source models is questioned, and AI's ability to bypass CAPTCHA is noted.\n\nApple's ability to host engaging product events is praised, and the development of the iPhone Duo is explored. Concerns are raised about the privacy implications of Apple Watch listening capabilities. The article concludes with a reminder for professionals in wealth management to subscribe to the \"Talking Wealth\" newsletter and encourages readers to stay updated with the daily e-mail newsletter from Abnormal Returns.",
