๐ Is AI also accelerating drug use in Silicon Valley? (Link)
The use of psychedelics, including ketamine, magic mushrooms, and LSD, has become a routine part of corporate culture in the tech industry. Executives and employees in Silicon Valley see these substances as gateways to business breakthroughs and enhanced creativity.
Some tech executives, such as Elon Musk and Sergey Brin, have been reported to use these drugs. While some individuals use these substances for mental clarity or health reasons, others use them recreationally at parties and social events (invitation-only events, and sometimes involving NDAs), but it has raised concerns about liability and illegal activity for companies and their boards.
The formal research conducted on psychedelics for mental health has also contributed to their popularity pushing investors to pour funds into companies involved in psychedelic research and trials. The psychedelic drug market is expected to reach $11.8 billion by 2029. However, there are risks associated with self-diagnosis and self-medication, and experts warn about potential abuse and self-destructive behavior. The use of psychedelics has expanded beyond Silicon Valley and has become more accepted in the tech industry.

๐ Apple is not so quiet about Ai anymore. (link)
Apple has been granted a patent that explores the integration of machine learning (ML) technology into its Xcode app, potentially allowing it to automatically write code for developers.
The ML capabilities could include auto-completion of code lines and bug checking, saving developers time. Apple envisions this feature as a way to remove barriers for new developers who may not be familiar with setting up ML models. The system would be integrated into Xcode, making it easily accessible for developers without the need for additional apps. While the success of Apple's AI code-writing bot is not guaranteed, the integration into Xcode could make it attractive to developers.
