It's also about how the Academy has made it difficult for women to be recognized.The Academy, made up of over 9,000 professionals working in the film industry, gives out awards every year to the best movies, performances, and behind the scenes work across the industry. Its goal, according to the organization, is to advance and "uphold excellence" within the motion picture industry.But the Academy has done such a poor job of being inclusive while rewarding excellence that even presenters have started sounding off. After announcing the Oscar nods last year, Issa Rae said dryly, "Congratulations to those men," referring to the omission of women in the best-directing category, despite another strong year for female filmmakers.Read more: <a href="https://www.insider.com/hollywood-is-dying-pandemic-2021-1">How the $100 billion Hollywood machine is scrambling to come back after its worst year in decades</a>Rae was picking up on another horror stat for the Academy: Only five women have ever been nominated for the best-director Oscar, with just one winning - Kathryn Bigelow, for "The Hurt Locker."Insider analyzed the Oscar nominations of the past decade and examined several top categories to see how pervasive the Academy's diversity problem has been regarding race and gender.What we found isn't surprising to critics: Most often the Oscar goes to a white man.<h2>89% of nominations in the past decade went to white people</h2>When Insider looked at the nominations across best picture, best director, the top four acting categories, and the two writing categories (original screenplay and adapted screenplay), we found that the gap between the number of nominations given to white people compared to people of color has closed in the past four years compared to the previous six.But Oscar nods were still overwhelmingly white. Only 6.3% of nominations went to Black creatives, while 2.6% went to Latinx people and 1.4% went to Asian people.Another way to look at how bad the Academy is at diversity: Over the past decade, it gave 74 total nominations to people of color. In 2011 alone, it gave 72 nominations to white creatives.Awards expert Paul Sheehan, the executive editor of <a href="https://www.goldderby.com/">Gold Derby</a>, told Insider these statistics were unsurprising since "the kind of movies that get awards pushes are made by white filmmakers starring white actors."Still, 2020 marked a turning point for Asian creatives.For the first time, there were more wins given to an underrepresented group than there were to white people. There were more wins given to Asian people than there were given to white people, thanks to Bong Joon-ho and his film "Parasite," which won best picture.Bong won three <keyword id="6376611" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="oscars">Oscars</keyword> in the top eight categories analyzed, with a cowriter (Han Jin-won) and coproducer (Kwak Sin-ae) also picking up wins in original screenplay and best picture.Last year was also a groundbreaking year for Māori filmmaker, Taika Waititi, who earned nominations for adapted screenplay and best picture for "Jojo Rabbit," winning in the former category. His producer, Chelsea Winstanley, who is also Māori, was also nominated for best picture for the same film.<h2>28.8% of the nominations in the top categories went to women</h2>After analyzing the same top eight categories, Insider found that of 679 nominations, 71.1% went to men. It means that men racked up more than twice as many nods compared to women. Further, men won three times as often as women.Nine of the past 10 ceremonies saw twice as many nominations go to men, with 2011 and 2015 showing the largest gaps.The gap between nominations given to men and nominations given to women appears to be closing, but only slightly. It's a similar story when it comes to wins.Of course the top four acting categories - best actor, best supporting actor, best actress, and best supporting actress - are already split up by gender, meaning there will be 10 male and 10 female acting nominees every year.But if the acting categories were genderless, as are all the other categories, would as many women have been nominated? Or would the categories be as male-leaning as the other above-the-line categories are?If we let the data help us make the conclusion, the answer doesn't look good for women.Sheehan told Insider that these statistics are surprising but not shocking."Women are not only outnumbered in the Academy but also in the profession," he said. "The Academy really just reflects how few women work in fields other than the traditional female ones - costume, hair and makeup, et cetera."Sheehan said that since the Academy is <a href="https://variety.com/2020/film/news/academy-record-women-people-of-color-1234630476/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recruiting more women and people of color into its ranks</a>, we will eventually see a change in these figures. But it will take time.(Note that each nomination is counted rather than each person. For example, Bong is counted once for each nomination rather than just once for himself.)<h2>There's hope that diversity is improving</h2>While the data paints a disturbing picture for the Academy's inclusivity over the years, pointing out such issues appears to have led to some change.Five of the eight total best-director nominations given to Latinx filmmakers have come in the past decade. Four of the six best-director nods given to Black filmmakers also came in the past decade (Steve McQueen, Barry Jenkins, Jordan Peele, and Spike Lee), though none have won the award.Read more: <a href="https://www.insider.com/netflix-movies-2021-oscar-contenders-2020-10">23 Netflix original movies that are 2021 Oscar contenders</a>Sheehan said he believed that this decade has improved, particularly in the past five years, because the Academy membership "got woke.""The mirror was held up to them and they didn't like what they saw. They started to recalibrate what in their world was worthy of an Oscar," Sheehan said. "'Parasite' is a great example where they kind of went, 'Yeah, that is a good movie.' Before they would've just relegated it to international feature."Another awards expert, Erik Anderson, the founder of Awards Watch, agreed. He said he believed the Academy was "getting better.""In four years we had 'Moonlight,' 'The Shape of Water,' 'Green Book,' and 'Parasite' as best-picture winners. Only 'Green Book' represents the regressive type of win that used to be common, but the other three represent a new, robust, and daring Academy," Anderson said.Read more: <a href="https://www.insider.com/female-directors-snubbed-oscars-2020-12">18 female directors who have been snubbed by the Oscars</a>The Academy's chief operating officer, Christine Simmons, said it's dedicated to creating lasting change and already making meaningful strides, including inviting a more diverse collection of filmmakers to join them.Women made up 45% of last year's intake. Thirty-six percent of new Academy members were from underrepresented ethnic groups, and 49% were international."We're trying to undo centuries of societal oppression," Simmons added.<div type="image" title="12 Years a Slave, Moonlight, The Shape of Water, Parasite" height="800" width="1600" msid="80652950" hostid="261"></div>But the Academy's most meaningful stride is the set of <a href="https://www.insider.com/oscars-set-inclusion-standards-best-picture-category-2020-9">inclusion standards</a> that a movie needs to meet to be eligible for a best-picture nomination. The rules say that a movie must meet two of four criteria - having cast members and crew from minority groups. The film must also feature story lines or themes centered on those from underrepresented groups.Some critics lament this new standard, arguing that it could lead to a reduction in quality, while others argue that these standards could be met too easily. Time will tell if these steps lead to a substantial change.Simmons used her previous role as leader of a women's basketball team to make a point about how representation doesn't just benefit the ones being represented.<div type="image" title="Bong Joon Ho, Greta Gerwig, and Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu" height="1200" width="1600" msid="80652952" hostid="261"></div>"What we used to talk about a lot was that it's not only about empowering women. It's about also inviting men to what women can do," she said. "Take out women and men, put in Black and white, put in gay or straight, whatever it is. It's empowering that individual and then enlightening the others to what is outside of their experience."Better representation is definitely a welcome relief for movie lovers beginning to see themselves on-screen for the first time after being on the fringes of cinema, at best.Read more: <a href="https://www.insider.com/oscars-academy-awards-rigged-best-picture-nominations-win-2019-2">There's a formula to winning the Oscars, and it's all in the statistics</a>But, Anderson added, whether they realize it yet or not, it's more vital for those who've always been able to see themselves on the big screen."Films show me a world that I know very little about and expand my horizons and understanding of them," he said. "There simply isn't a better reason to encourage and celebrate diversity in on-screen representation."This story is part of <a href="https://www.insider.com/hollywood-is-dying-pandemic-2021-1">Insider's State of Hollywood</a> digital series, which details how the $100 billion <keyword id="4578" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="entertainment">entertainment</keyword> industry shifted in 2020. <a href="https://www.insider.com/hollywood-is-dying-pandemic-2021-1">Click here to read more.</a>

A complete breakdown of the Oscars diversity problem over the past decade

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZAkOfxlW6g">Orion Pictures via YouTube</a></div></div></div><ul><li>Horror films have often been overlooked by the Oscars throughout its 90-year history.</li><li>Only one has won best picture, and only a handful have been nominated.</li><li>This year's race sees two nominated - "Get Out" and "The Shape of Water."</li></ul> "The Silence of the Lambs" is a notable Oscar best-picture winner for many reasons.It's one of only three films in the Oscar's 90-year history to win the "big five" awards of picture, actor, actress, director, and screenplay. And it's also the only horror film to win best picture.IMDB lists the film's genres as "crime," "drama," and "thriller," and it is certainly all of those things. But in the nearly three decades since "Silence of the Lambs" swept the 64th Academy Awards, it's been regarded as one of the best horror films of all time: It's number 33 on this <a href="https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-horror-movies-of-all-time/5/">Rotten Tomatoes list of the best-reviewed horror movies</a>, and has made countless other lists, including these from <a href="http://collider.com/best-horror-movies/#silence-of-the-lambs">Collider</a> and <a href="http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/g3383/best-horror-movies-of-all-time/">Esquire.</a>Only a few other horror films have managed to even be nominated, including "Jaws," and this year's "Get Out" and "The Shape of Water." What do all of these films have in common?They can all easily be categorized by different genres: "Lambs" as a crime drama, "Jaws" as a thriller, "Shape" as a fantasy romance, and "Get Out" as a dark comedy (if you ask the Golden Globes). That distinction helped propel "Lambs" to the top and it has allowed "Get Out" and "Shape" to break through a crowded field of best-picture contenders this year. In fact, there is still <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/18/movies/get-out-the-shape-of-water-horror-oscars.html">debate about whether they are even horror films</a> at all, a telling sign of the Academy's reluctance to recognize the genre."Get Out's" social commentary might discourage some from classifying it as horror, but the best horror films are twisted representations of our fears and the evil pieces of our own world. Is that not "Get Out?" And "Shape" is quite obviously <a href="http://variety.com/2018/film/awards/shape-of-water-inspiration-from-monster-movie-1202659976/">inspired by "The Creature From the Black Lagoon."</a>Perhaps the fear is that embracing these films as horror movies risks their chances of actually winning on Oscar night. The Academy has a dismal record of awarding the genre. In this Business Insider <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/top-movies-snubbed-for-best-picture-oscar-nominations-ranked-2018-2">list of the best-reviewed films to never be nominated for best picture</a>, "Rosemary's Baby" and "Psycho" are notable standouts, as well as other Hitchcock thrillers. In fact, Hitchcock never even won best director.But beyond being horror films, what other factors might help or hinder "Get Out" and "The Shape of Water" on Oscar night?<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Universal</div></div></div>"Moonlight," about a black man struggling with his sexuality, won best picture last year, signaling for many that the Oscars had moved in a positive direction in recognizing the work of people of color. And now this year, "Get Out" has nabbed picture, director, actor, and screenplay nominations, and won best original screenplay at Sunday's Writers Guild Awards, positioning it as a contender for Oscar gold.But still, there is the Academy's legacy that sparked #OscarsSoWhite - a social <keyword id="6354777" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Media">media</keyword> hashtag that trended after all 20 acting nominees were white two years in a row in 2016 and 2015. That has not completely changed, though the Academy did induct <a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/6/29/12061542/academy-2016-invite-list-diversity">nearly 700 new members to try and diversify its membership in 2016</a>. "Get Out" also failed to pick up any craft nominations, and it's rare for a film to win best picture without a single one. ("Moonlight," meanwhile, was nominated for cinematography, film editing, and musical score.) Positive word-of-mouth and an energetic campaign can help its chances, but the other horror film in contention this year will be hard to beat.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Fox Searchlight</div></div></div>"The Shape of Water" has suddenly become a frontrunner in the Oscar race after winning best picture at the Producers Guild Awards, and picking up the most nominations at this year's Oscars with 13.Not bad for a horror movie.But "The Shape of Water" could be hindered by the fact that it has plenty of competition in the original screenplay race - "Get Out," Lady Bird," "Three Billboards," and "The Big Sick." If it can't win a screenplay award, its chances of winning best picture are slim by if we look at history as our guide. The last film to do so was "The Artist" six years ago.Over at awards prediction website <a href="http://www.goldderby.com/odds/combined-odds/oscars-2018/">GoldDerby.com</a>, "Shape's" odds of winning screenplay aren't good: 22/1. It comes in fourth behind "Lady Bird" (8/5), "Three Billboards" (9/4), and "Get Out" (3/1). "The Big Sick" is in last at 80/1. And at the Writers Guild Awards, "Get Out" and "Call Me by Your Name" won the screenplay honors.But even so, "Shape" is still the frontrunner on GoldDerby, with the best odds of winning best picture (10/11). <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/benefits-of-regular-exercise-2018-1">What happens to your body when you start exercising regularly</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Especially if the government doesn't step in to soften the blow. "There's no doubt this is going to have huge economic and social impacts, and the worse it is, the more likely that people are going to get to the point where social action is the only move forward," she said.Demonstrations, like the ones <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/furious-michiganders-to-protest-at-state-capitol-over-whitmer-order-2020-4">against Michigan Gov.

"This pandemic is highly likely to disrupt that. At that point, I don't see how we can avoid social unrest."On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/FM">released a report</a> warning that the coronavirus could spark turmoil in countries around the world if people were left without jobs or money for food during and after the pandemic. "If the crisis is badly managed and [the response] is viewed as having been insufficient to help people, you could end up with social unrest," IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath told Reuters.<h2>What other countries are doing, and what the US isn't</h2>That scenario is looking increasingly likely in the US, Johns Hopkins University sociologist Alexandre White said, because the country is taking fewer steps than most European nations to bolster employment."There are measures that countries like Iceland and even Britain have taken to ameliorate the personal financial effects of this pandemic… that would go a long way to allow people to effectively manage this crisis at this moment," White said.<div type="image" title="unemployment jobless claims " height="1333" width="2000" msid="75207336" hostid="261"></div>Governments in France, Germany, and the UK, for example, are paying a portion of people's salaries until businesses can reopen.Democrats in the House have proposed giving US citizens who are 16 or older making less than $130,000 a year <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/americans-would-receive-2000-a-month-under-house-democrats-plan-2020-4">up to $2,000 a month</a> until unemployment falls to pre-pandemic levels.

They announced that full-time workers will get up to five paid sick days. But since I am a part-time worker, I would only be eligible for 15 hours, or about two days."<h2>The coronavirus is exacerbating social inequalities</h2><div type="image" title="Maintaining social distancing and other virus precautions become harder for those facing economic hardship." height="1333" width="2000" msid="75207338" hostid="261"></div>From prisons to many low-income neighborhoods, where people are crammed into close quarters, the virus is more likely to spread. White says social distancing, or even buying gloves and masks, is becoming more difficult for people running out of money."Only with a significant amount of funds are you able to purchase food for a week or two at a time," he said. "As financial instability sets in, the strategies for maintaining food security that are also in line with public health strategies are a real challenge."And it's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-exposes-disparity-could-spark-class-warfare-2020-3">often the poorest who can't stay home or work remotely</a>, according to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-11/coronavirus-this-pandemic-will-lead-to-social-revolutions">Bloomberg reported</a>.In Detroit, Ruiz says many of her friends are going to work despite the health risk."A lot of people I know are essential workers," she said.

Expect more protests, looting, food lines: The pandemic's economic fallout is a recipe for social unrest in America, experts warn

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>The Perseid meteor shower is one of the most spectacular celestial shows we can see from Earth, but the event is a little more violent for the moon.The Perseids happen every year starting at the end of July and last through most of August - but there's always a peak viewing time where you can see up to 100 meteors per hour (about one or two every minute).This year the Perseid meteor shower peaks at about 4 a.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015, according to <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/121599/kick-back-look-up-were-in-for-a-great-perseid-meteor-shower/">Universe Today</a>.<h2>'Moon flashes'</h2>Like most meteor showers, the Perseids are caused by pieces of debris left by a passing comet. Each year the Earth passes into the debris cloud, and its small chunks of comet dust and ice burn up as they hit the atmosphere, lighting up the night sky.No pieces should actually make it to Earth's surface as meteorites. The moon, however, is a different story.The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, so it routinely gets pummeled by meteorites.Sometimes it's possible to spot flashes of light when the meteorites hit the surface of the moon, according to research published May 13 in the <a href="http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2015/05/aa25656-15/aa25656-15.html">journal Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics</a>. The researchers recorded at least 12 of these flashes from the 2013 Perseid meteor shower.Here's what one of the flashes looks like:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>The brightness of the flash depends on how big the meteor is and how fast it's going when it hits the moon - it seems the harder the impact, the brighter the flash.It's difficult for astronomers to spot a meteor hitting the moon - it takes a good telescope and a lot of luck. But the odds are considerably higher during a heavy meteor shower like the Perseids. We don't know very much about these flashes yet because they're so difficult to spot, no matter how good viewing conditions are.This year's peak viewing of the Perseid meteor shower will coincide with a new moon. This is good news for amateur astronomers: It means there will be no moonlight for the meteors to compete with, so this year's shower should be especially brilliant.The best time to spot meteors will happen early in the morning on Thursday, around 4 a.m. ET, but you should be able to see them all week if you're somewhere far away from city lights.If you can't get yourself somewhere with a dark night sky, NASA is streaming the meteor shower starting Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 10 p.m. ET.

Here's some good news: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/earn-more-money-switching-jobs-2017-7">The unemployment rate has hit a 49-year low, giving workers more leverage, and the data indicates that people who switch jobs end up earning more. </a>A strong economy isn't the only indicator that it's the right time to move on from a job, though. Sometimes, your current role sends clear signals that it's time to get out - stat."Sunday scaries, or a feeling of dread that you have to go into work on Monday, are often the first sign of trouble," said <a href="https://melodywilding.com/">Melody Wilding</a>, LMSW, an executive coach who specializes in helping ambitious professionals thrive at work. While career experts recommend trying to mold a soul-crushing job into a fulfilling experience, at some point your best option is to throw in the towel. Here are six breaking points that indicate it's the right time to brush up your resume.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-exec-level-job-hunters-should-optimize-their-linkedin-2019-6">The ultimate guide to creating an impressive LinkedIn resume, according to an expert recruiter, hiring manager, professor, and career coach</a><h2>Your job is affecting your health</h2>Every job can cause stress from time to time. Some roles, though, cause prolonged, acute stress that puts workers at risk for burnout, <a href="https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/129180281">an occupation-related syndrome now recognized by the World Health Organization</a>. It can get to the point that the stress is no longer worth the paycheck."Physical signs to watch out for include trouble sleeping, stomach pains, and hair loss," said Wilding. You don't have to take on all of the responsibilities at your company on your own. Delegate tasks to spread work out among your team, and seek out a mental health professional to learn how to manage stress. If things don't improve soon, put in your two-week's notice for the sake of your health."No job is worth sacrificing your wellbeing for. If you find yourself in a toxic workplace situation, then it's wise to consider moving elsewhere," said Widling. <h2>Your work feels meaningless </h2>Work should provide a sense of purpose. It might be helping you achieve a financial goal (like paying off debt or saving for a house), or perhaps it's connecting you to something bigger, such as improving your community. "We all need meaning in our lives, and work is where we spend a whole lot of our time, so having that as one of our sources makes a lot of sense … but it's on us to figure out how to create that for ourselves," said Rebecca Fraser-Thill, a <a href="https://www.rebeccafraserthill.com/coaching">Pivot career coach</a> and the director of faculty engagement and outreach for <a href="https://www.bates.edu/purposeful-work/">Bates Center for Purposeful Work, which helps people find employment that aligns with their interests and values. </a> Many of us get stuck in roles that lack meaning, though. In fact, 66<a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/241649/employee-engagement-rise.aspx"> percent of American workers surveyed in a recent Gallup poll were not engaged or were actively disengaged with their jobs</a>. This obviously makes the day-to-day difficult for workers to endure, but also leads to overall lower productivity, more accidents and reduced profitability for the organization - a lose-lose scenario. The moment your job starts to feel meaningless, take action. Think about your values and goals - does your position align with them? Can it? If not, it might mean it's time to find something else to do with your career. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Courtesy of Melody WildingMelody Wilding.</div></div></div><h2>You're bored and there's no room for growth</h2>Have things gotten stagnant at work? A dead-end job can prevent you from reaching your full potential in the long term. "Humans are driven by a desire to continually learn and grow. If there's a lack of advancement opportunities in your role, you can become discouraged and disengaged," said Wilding. Before giving up, find a way to challenge yourself. What's missing at your organization? What big-picture ideas do you have brewing that could transform your company? Pick one demanding task and throw your energy into it. A fresh project could breathe new life into a position that's gone stale.If things still aren't heading in the right direction, pivot away from your current role into a more challenging position somewhere else. <h2>Your relationships at the office have soured beyond repair</h2>The people you work with can turn an average job into a sublime experience - or an amazing position into a soul-destroying endeavor. Feeling friction with the staff? First, explore how you might be contributing to the dynamic and express your concerns, said Wilding. While intimidating, honest and open communication can go a long way to warming up frigid relationships.But sometimes, a workplace can become so toxic that it's beyond repair and the best thing for you to do is leave. As you begin your search for a new position, make a list of everything that wasn't working at your last company and the key attributes you'd like to have at your next workplace. That will help you zero in on a culture that will help you thrive in your future role.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/micromanager-boss-this-is-what-i-learned-2019-3">Read more: I was such a bad micromanager that all my employees quit - and it taught me the one trait all powerful leaders need</a><h2>Your side hustle has taken off</h2>It's more common than ever for workers to moonlight on passion projects. But let's get real: Working a full-time job and putting in extra hours on your side hustle can leave you sapped for energy. If you love your side hustle and it's starting to look like a reliable way to earn a living, it might be time to ditch your 9-to-5 to pursue your passion. "Consider making the leap when your side hustle is bringing in consistent income and you have a plan for how you'd scale it," said Wilding. "Be smart about timing. Before quitting, you should evaluate your financial picture. Figure out how much runway you have."In a <a href="https://thehustle.co/the-highest-and-lowest-paying-side-hustles/">survey of 3,560 people conducted by The Hustle</a>, only 51 percent of people said they loved their primary job, whereas more than three quarters of respondents said they loved their side hustle. Those extra hours you've been spending on that gig can pay off in a satisfying career for life.<h2>Your job is invading your personal life</h2>It's human nature to complain about your job from time to time. But when occasionally blowing off steam turns into round-the-clock grumbling, you end up sabotaging the few precious hours you have away from the office and potentially damaging your relationships in the process. "You know your job is negatively affecting your home life if you find yourself constantly complaining about work or distracted by job priorities in your off time," said Wilding. "You may not be able to be fully present at home, which can lead to arguments." Don't let job-related misery become a constant state of being. Consider cutting your losses and moving on to greener pastures that make you happy from 9 to 5 - and beyond. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/serena-williams-alexis-ohanian-net-worth-make-spend-millions-2019-5">Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian have a combined net worth of $189 million.

He called his UFC rivals "fools," and told 20,000 fans in the venue that he was going to celebrate in Sin City.Within an hour he had changed clothes, addressed the press, and was living his best life - die-hard fans cheered every left hook he playfully threw in his jet black, three-piece suit at the club.He signed autographs on people's shoes and posed for photographs knowing jubilant fans would look back at them when they got home as they were witnessing the first win of the McGregor Mk.2 era.He then disappeared to the VIP section so he could get loose on the dance floor, throw an arm around members of his fight team, and sink into a sofa with a lit cigar clenched between his teeth.Sweet, sweet victory - a taste McGregor savored many times after wins like his immortal 13-second knockout over Jose Aldo, an all-time rivalry with Nate Diaz, and an MMA masterpiece against Eddie Alvarez which made him a two-weight champion.Life would have been great had it not been for the fact that those happy vibes masked a slew of bad news and allegations that refused to go away.Just days before his smash-and-grab win over Cerrone, McGregor was quizzed by reporters about sexual assault allegations made against him. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-asked-about-allegations-reporter-booed-2020-1">At the time many people in the crowd booed the reporter asking the question.</a>"Guys, I have done nothing wrong," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-asked-about-allegations-reporter-booed-2020-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McGregor said at the press conference, which Insider attended.</a>McGregor has consistently denied any allegations of sexual assault made against him.<h2>One year on McGregor fights again</h2>Fast forward 12 months and McGregor competes for the first time since beating Cerrone but, once again, finds himself in the middle of a fight week dealing with a similar story.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/19/sports/conor-mcgregor-lawsuit-ufc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times this week published further details</a> of a 2018 sexual assault allegation against McGregor in Ireland.The woman who accused McGregor of assault has filed a personal injury lawsuit against the athlete at the Irish High Court. She is suing him for between $1.79 million and $2.13 million, the Times reports, citing the suit.Irish authorities previously decided not to bring criminal charges against McGregor following an investigation.Karen J. Kessler, a spokeswoman for McGregor, said in <a href="https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/woman-sues-conor-mcgregor-in-multi-million-euro-injuries-lawsuit-39986589.html">a statement cited by the Irish Independent</a>:"After an exhaustive investigation conducted by the Gardaí which, in addition to interviews of the plaintiff, included interviewing numerous sources, obtaining witnesses' statements, examining closed circuit footage and the cooperation of Conor McGregor, these allegations were categorically rejected."The plaintiff knows the facts contradict the assertions in this lawsuit. Mr. McGregor will dispute any claims and is confident that justice will prevail."Insider has contacted McGregor's representatives for comment about the allegations in the New York Times story, but is yet to receive a response.After the allegations were published, a reporter asked McGregor about the Times' story at a press conference Insider attended Thursday.Like last year before the Cerrone fight, the reporter was booed before he finished the question."It is old news," McGregor said. "It was investigated thoroughly over the course of two long years and I was cleared of any wrongdoing."<h2>The death of 'The Notorious'</h2><div type="image" title="Conor McGregor" height="1346" width="2000" msid="80409991" hostid="261"></div>For much of his career, McGregor has been known as "The Notorious" - reflecting his fierce aggression in the Octagon and his bombastic persona out of it.If you throw a bottle at Nate Diaz, a chair at Eddie Alvarez, and claim you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf1mnmylXfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could whoop Jesus Christ's ass</a> if you wanted to, well … you're likely notorious.There's a line most people agree not to cross, but "The Notorious" would sprint past it with a mischievous smile on his face.He'd look back, throw politically incorrect and sometimes downright offensive insults from a distance, and laugh maniacally into the moonlight.McGregor once called a German opponent a Nazi, said he'd "invade [Aldo's] favela on horseback and kill anyone who was not fit to work," and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregors-half-black-ufc-boxing-2017-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied he's racist by saying he's half-black</a> from the belly button down."Here's a little present for my beautiful black female fans," McGregor said while thrusting his groin into the air just days after telling Floyd Mayweather to: "Dance for me, boy."He'd do and say things like that, then get on the mic and say he wanted to "take this chance to apologize… to absolutely nobody."The double champ does what the f--- he wants."That was then. This is now, and everything's different.McGregor's behavior has changed, and while there's no definitive reason why, there are a number of possible explanations:<ol><li>He was forced to tap out in a comprehensive beating by Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, an event which may well have humbled him.</li><li>He was deserted by many mainstream Irish <keyword id="6356028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports">sports</keyword> fans following a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-dublin-is-turning-its-back-on-conor-mcgregor-2020-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pattern of out-of-sport violence in 2018 and 2019.</a></li><li>He may have had to rethink his trash talking of opponents after sexual assault allegations, which he denies. Opponents can easily bring up the allegations if McGregor tries to talk smack. Nurmagomedov, for instance, called him <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/khabib-nurmagomedov-conor-mcgregor-photo-tweet-rapist-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a "rapist."</a></li><li>He has simply matured since becoming a father of two kids. </li></ol>Nowhere is McGregor's change in attitude more apparent than the respective promotions for his welterweight match against Cerrone in 2020, and his lightweight return Saturday at the newly-built Etihad Arena on Fight Island against Dustin Poirier.While the McGregor of old would have needed no second invitation to insult them, belittle them, and maybe flip them off, McGregor 2.0 speaks positively about his opponents. Admires them, even.For instance, McGregor on Thursday called Poirier a "hell of a competitor" - somethingAs <a href="https://theathletic.com/1538928/2020/01/16/the-new-conor-mcgregor-says-he-hasnt-changed-which-wouldve-made-the-old-conor-mcgregor-laugh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Mindenhall observed in The Athletic</a> just before the Cerrone fight: "He wasn't there to take over this time; he was there to take part."And just like Floyd Mayweather evolved from Pretty Boy to Money, McGregor, too, has evolved into something else.He remains a hulking specimen at 155-pounds, capable of bloodying an opponent with shoulder strikes before flattening them with a head kick.That said, he needs to retire the "Notorious" nickname, because notorious is not what Conor McGregor is any more.<h2>McGregor rehabilitated his image during the pandemic</h2>A Dublin medical center was overwhelmed by patients suffering from the coronavirus in March 2020.Running low on personal protective equipment (PPE) for its staff, and unable to afford the bulk costs of replacement gowns as it struggled with financial constraints, doctors were wondering how they'd cope as the crisis worsened.Few would expect McGregor to provide salvation. But the fighter, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-conor-mcgregor-is-really-like-according-to-business-partner-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spurred by a long-standing appreciation of first responders</a>, hand-delivered boxes of PPE - part of a $1 million pledge he made at the start of the pandemic."It was like Christmas," Dr. Nina Byrnes, the founder of Dublin's Generation Health Medical Clinics, <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/ufc-conor-mcgregor-stuns-dublin-medical-clinic-ppe-gowns-supplies-donations-coronavirus-covid19-pandemic-015541908.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Tonight Show</a>. "I would have had no gowns … if not for the charity."Moving images of doctors in hazmat suits and patients dying in hallways because of overcrowded hospitals had stirred panic as COVID-19 rampaged through the world early in the year.As Donald Trump downplayed the virus to American citizens, and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-shook-hands-despite-advice-would-spread-coronavirus-2020-5">British Prime Minister Boris Johnson bragged about shaking infected people's hands,</a> McGregor became a voice of reason in his homeland.In <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-conor-mcgregor-urges-coronavirus-lockdown-in-ireland-2020-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a statesmanlike address</a> he implored Ireland's government to do more to restrict the spread of the coronavirus by grounding flights, closing non-essential business, and enforcing a stringent lockdown."I know a good, tough fight when I see one, and we have one on our hands now," he said. "Let's go, Ireland … God bless us all."<h2>UFC came back after a COVID hiatus, but McGregor stayed away</h2><div type="image" title="Conor McGregor and Dana White" height="750" width="1000" msid="80409992" hostid="261"></div>The UFC President <a href="https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/29006529/dana-white-secured-us-location-private-island-ufc-fights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana White left an ESPN MMA reporter baffled</a> when he announced he was in talks to lease an island so he could host international events as he sought to bring MMA back in the coronavirus era.Rumors ran wild that the island would feature palm trees, tiki torches, and an open-air beachside Octagon with White perched on a golden throne.The concept of <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/fight-island" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fight Island</a> rapidly became a star in its own right, akin to a fighter with a household name.Perhaps struck by a fear of missing out, McGregor sent White messages. "What date could I fight on Fight Island, and will there be fans?" <a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-texts-dana-white-wanting-to-fight-on-fight-island-2020-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one text sent in May said, according to the UFC boss</a>.Fight dates passed him by, though. Proposed contests against the fading veteran Diego Sanchez and the past-prime Anderson Silva never materialized. And so he retired, fed up."The game does not excite me," he said, <a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-retired-because-hes-bored-and-tired-of-fighting-2020-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citing boredom and tiredness</a>. "I'm just over it."The retirement, though, did not stick.McGregor attempted in September to organize a charity MMA sparring match involving Dustin Poirier, to take place in Dublin before Christmas, just weeks after he was arrested in Corsica, France, on suspicion of indecent exposure.<h2>The Irishman attracted all kinds of headlines in 2020</h2><div type="image" title="year in life conor mcgregor headlines" height="1875" width="2501" msid="80409995" hostid="261"></div>In mid-September, McGregor took his young family to Corsica for a vacation onboard their $4 million yacht, ahead of a 180-kilometer charity voyage that would be attended by luminaries like Princess Charlene of Monaco.On Friday, September 13, McGregor was photographed on the Calvi marina wearing McGregor Fast-branded clothes, a baseball cap, and with his hands on his hips.He wasn't stopping for lunch or to go shopping though.He was stood there because police were raiding his yacht, responding to a summons over allegations of attempted "sexual assault and sexual exhibition," <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/conor-mcgregor-arrested-on-suspicion-of-indecent-exposure-and-attempted-sexual-assault-in-corsica-12070413" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a Sky report at the time</a>.He was arrested and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8725839/Conor-McGregor-arrested-Corsica-attempted-sexual-exhibition.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent two days in police custody</a> before being released that Saturday.At the time, a representative said McGregor "vigorously denies any accusations of misconduct," <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/09/12/conor-mcgregor-arrested-attempted-sexual-assault-indecent-exposure-france-ufc-corsica" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to TMZ Sports</a>.McGregor seemed to have had a quiet 2020, but still attracted all kinds of headlines after his shellacking of Cerrone considering his philanthropy at the start of the pandemic, short-lived retirement, and yet another allegation of sexual assault.<h2>McGregor 2.0 fights again, but is yet to attract a new nickname</h2><div type="image" title="Conor McGregor, UFC" height="998" width="1500" msid="80409998" hostid="261"></div>This weekend, McGregor returns to do what he does best - cracking skulls for a living.McGregor fought only once in 2020 but that was enough to secure himself the best-selling pay-per-view in his sport that year, with more than 1.3 million sales <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/12/21/22194161/conor-mcgregor-touts-ufc-246-as-highest-selling-pay-per-view-of-2020-with-more-than-1-3-million-buys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to MMA Fighting</a>.Regardless of any dwindling interest among mainstream Irish sports fans, it is clear he remains a worldwide star.Every McGregor fight is a spectacle. He is still an elite level combatant, and remains capable of embarking on a post-championship run that may well match what he has already accomplished in the UFC.Speaking to Insider in 2019, McGregor's long-time MMA coach <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-still-worlds-best-fighter-john-kavanagh-says-2019-10?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kavanagh called his star fighter a "savant"</a> who he always learns from whenever they have training sessions together.The next time we saw him compete, he landed face-opening shoulder strikers with such aplomb that it was clear they were weapons that had been refined in camp.It would be no surprise to see McGregor defeat Poirier on Saturday on Fight Island with new skills.In doing so, he'd open up pathways to more must-see MMA matches. Perhaps against the winner of Michael Chandler and Dan Hooker - Saturday's co-main event - or Charles Oliveira, or even Khabib Nurmagomedov if the Russian really can be lured out of his own retirement.Out-pointing Poirier, the No.2-ranked UFC lightweight, would be a remarkable achievement in its own right.But McGregor, 32, is promising a 60-second finish."The Notorious" may be gone, but if that were to materialize, "Mystic Mac" - the nickname McGregor earned for successfully predicting when and how he would beat opponents - would be back.Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-dublin-is-turning-its-back-on-conor-mcgregor-2020-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">From Irish pride to Jekyll and Hyde: Why Dublin turned its back on Conor McGregor</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-conor-mcgregor-is-really-like-according-to-business-partner-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What whiskey 'unicorn' Conor McGregor is actually like, according to his Proper No. Twelve business partner</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-conor-mcgregor-is-really-like-according-to-his-barber-2020-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How an association with Conor McGregor helped an ailing barber turn his Crumlin shop around</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/video-khabib-nurmagomedovs-cousin-umar-scores-debut-ufc-win-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Following in his family's footsteps, Umar Nurmagomedov makes a UFC debut to remember by scoring a second-round submission</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/watch-conor-mcgregor-take-yacht-and-rolls-royce-to-ufc-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor showed he's the UFC's version of Tiger Woods by chartering a yacht to Fight Island</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/alessio-di-chirico-cash-bonus-for-ko-but-shunned-interviews-2021-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A UFC fighter got a $50,000 bonus for a shock KO victory, but shunned media interviews and gave Dana White a moody look backstage</a>

The death of 'The Notorious': How Conor McGregor completed a mid-career persona change

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">SalesforceChief Scientist Richard Socher announced new voice products for Salesforce's AI tool Einstein last week.</div></div></div><ul><li>Business Insider sat down with Salesforce Chief Scientist Richard Socher to hear his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence at work.</li><li>Datasets are top of mind for Socher, who also moonlights as a professor at Stanford. He thinks the AI community needs to be mindful of biases in data, which could impact whether an AI algorithm is ethical and even lawful.</li><li>And while he doesn't see AI taking over the human race anytime soon, he does have a vision for the future of work which includes a lot less stress for human users - even sales people.</li></ul>Richard Socher would like to correct the record on artificial intelligence. There's no reason to fear that self-conscious AI "will decide that humans are a pesky plague," he said, or at least there's no research to suggest this is the case.But what AI can do is reduce some of the pain points of using a customer relationship management platform like Salesforce, and eventually make the sales process a lot less annoying for salespeople and their potential customers alike. Socher, chief scientist at Salesforce, is the top brain behind Einstein, Salesforce's artificial intelligence tool, which purports to add an intuitive layer to the company's entire CRM platform. He also teaches computer <keyword id="41551" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="science">science</keyword> at Stanford, where he got his PhD with a focus on AI and deep learning.On Wednesday, Socher and his team announced Einstein Voice, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-einstein-voice-ai-assistant-2018-9">a new product category</a> at Salesforce which includes tools like a voice assistant and voice bots. Whereas Einstein used to only be able to read, now it can listen.But the future of AI at work is bigger than mere transcribing. Socher sat down with Business Insider to discuss what he sees on the horizon for <keyword id="6356323" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="enterprise">enterprise</keyword> AI, and some of the ethical questions people in his field face in this brave new world.This interview was edited and condensed for clarity. Becky Peterson: A lot of companies in enterprise are serious about boxing off data so that AI is trained on a customer by customer basis. How does Salesforce handle that?Richard Socher: We have a set of core values. Trust is our number one value. That sentence is literally burned into my brain, I've said it so many times.So what that means for AI is that we are in a similar situation where the default is, we will never use a customer's dataset for anything but improving that customer's models. AI only gets to see and learn from that customer.There are some areas where that makes a lot of sense. You don't want two beverage companies helping each other's sales. There are other things like sentiment analysis on Twitter, where it's all public data and you just want to know if it is positive or negative.Maybe it makes sense for customers to eventually say, "I want to join in on a data partnership," and then eventually train more global models, so everybody benefits because it's not part of what differentiates their core businesses from another one. But the default for everything is that it's just trained on your data.Peterson: These days, changes in enterprise tech reflect what people use in consumer tech. Einstein Voice follows the popularization of voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. So what comes after voice in AI?Socher: It depends on how you define after and voice. [Laughs] In terms of technology, voice by itself is only sometimes useful, like if you want to dictate a document, when you're like "I want to say it and I want to see it exactly written in a document."But in our case, what has to come after voice is actually natural language understanding, and an integration into important workflows. So we, for instance, have sequence tagging mechanisms where a sales person can walk out of a meeting and dictate all of his or her meeting notes.Just dictating that is not as interesting because then they have to still update all of the custom fields. So they still have to go into the interface, click a dozen times, do some drop down menus, select some fields, and it's not that fun. It's actually one of the most dreaded parts of using a CRM. But if you have natural language understanding on top of the transcribed speech, then you can automate that process too. So that's this beautiful combination of unstructured text with the structured data in the database. So we can say, "Oh, you talked about Acme Corporation? That's this field, that's this object in your database."I think the future is a fully immersive conversational CRM experience. Where you can just ask questions, give inputs, get outputs.And in the end, ideally everybody should have their own assistant as well as other things like their own doctors, and so on, because AI can learn from the very best people in the world.<section><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/power-players-of-salesforce-2018-2">[Meet the Salesforce power players who are helping Marc Benioff take his $87 billion empire to the next level]</a></h3>Peterson: There are a lot of different companies working on AI. Do you see the future of artificial intelligence as having multiple AIs or will there be a convergence where they can all speak to one another?</section>Socher: I think the answer, as with all good, complex questions, is it depends.Put my professorial hat on - I think that some things will converge, namely the algorithms. We really have to give credit to the entire AI community in that we're very public in the advances that we make. They are patented but they are also published in peer-reviewed, academic research papers. And we basically give the blueprints to most of the algorithms that we develop.Including us. We just announced <a href="https://github.com/salesforce/decaNLP">DecaNLP</a> in a natural language processing decathlon, where we developed a single model to solve 10 NLP tasks. So you can ask one model, what's the summary of this document or this email? What's a translation of that sentence into German? What's the biggest state in the United States in terms of GDP? What's the sentiment of this tweet? You can ask all of these different questions to the same model.Normally, there are like 10 different models-there are Q&amp;A models. There are summary models. Translation models.They're becoming all neural network-types but they're all very different architectures, so you can't transfer. In theory, I have a model that can translate into German, and I have a summarization model, but that doesn't mean that you can all of a sudden summarize in German.We're making a lot of progress on these algorithms and we're able to share that because that's just how the community works.If anybody ever tells you we have a secret sauce algorithm that is light years ahead of everyone else, that's usually bogus. <keyword id="94495" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Innovation">Innovation</keyword> happens so much more quickly when everyone collaborates. So that's one side of the equation where we will see convergence of the underlying algorithms. But the other side is the dataset side. And the reason why all of these companies can tell you their algorithms is that the algorithms are only as good and are really only shining the most when you have a lot of training data for them. That's where I think we'll see more specialization and diverse outputs, is who trains on what datasets.It's pretty hard to infuse very specific rules into the AI. It just picks up on the data. If you give it bad training data, it will be a bad AI algorithm. And if you don't give it enough training data, it will be a bad algorithm.There are certain companies that are very far ahead when it comes to certain kinds of data sets, and sometimes even countries, but that doesn't mean they are ahead on everything else.Peterson: Since we are talking about Salesforce, besides the convenience to the user, what will AI mean for the world of sales?Socher: I think it will make the whole sales process more efficient and be a better experience for both sides. A sales person doesn't really want to send a bunch of emails to people who don't want to buy their products. They don't really want to talk to people on the phone and try to convince into buying something that they are just not interested in buying.This is what we have with lead and opportunity scoring, where we can basically sort based on all of the interactions that two companies have had, and say today, these 10 people are the most likely to want to buy your product. So I think we'll make sales people a lot more efficient and hence also more pleasant to interact with for everybody.In service, we'll see a lot of automation too. Customers just want to have a quick answer, and if you can just type that answer into a chatbot, you don't even have to pick up your phone. Instead of waiting in line for half an hour for your representative, you just ask your question to an AI. I think that's the future.And in marketing, I think you'll see all kinds of new jobs that will come out where you can basically personalize your marketing messages and make it much, much easier to create personalized campaigns and also understand in a much more automated fashion how that impacts your customer sentiment about your brand, on social media for instance, because now you can actually literally go through a million tweets and see every time anyone mentions or shows visually your product, what did they say? Is it positive, negative or neutral?It's a pretty exciting time in all of these three areas.<h3> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-roadmap-to-60-billion-revenue-2018-2">[Here's what analysts say Salesforce can do to turn its $10 billion of revenue into a $60 billion money machine]</a></h3>Peterson: Salesforce announced during its last earnings call that it will create an Office of Ethical and Humane Use of Technology. What are some of the ethical issues that as an AI scientist you are confronting?Socher: I think with AI and ethics, we need to differentiate between two things: One are the unfounded fears, and one are the more realistic issues.For a couple of years now, because of some of the excitement and indeed breakthroughs in AI, people extrapolate a little too far and are like, "So Richard, what happens when AI will automate all of the things, and no more human jobs are there, and the AI is self-conscious and will decide that humans are a pesky plague and we need to get rid of them?"That's just a really unfounded fear. There's no research. We don't really know the missing steps toward self-conscious AI that will set its own goals and objectives and things like that.So it's kind of a red herring. It's kind of a distraction. And frankly, it's fine to think about cool SciFi things, and maybe have SciFi ethics and so on.But it's also quite distracting from real issues that we have right now. And those real issues come from datasets that the AIs are trained on and the biases that are in those datasets.If you want to build an AI algorithm to define who should get a promotion, and your promotion process was kind of sexist before, then your AI algorithm is going to have that same bias in it.And if you want to apply positive use cases like AI in medicine, and you train it only on middle aged white guys, because they are the ones that keep getting a certain type of scan, then your AI algorithm isn't going to be as accurate for young, African American girls because it hasn't seen enough of them in the training data.Equality is also one of our big values. We really need to carefully think about the datasets that we're training our AI on. And we have ethics Trailheads to try to also educate our customers around the kinds of issues that they will observe themselves.In some places, fortunately, in the US, it's legally important to do this. If you want to classify whether somebody should get a loan or not, and you don't have a race column in your CRM, but you may have a zip code and income column. And from those two you can almost in many areas of the United States exactly know the race of somebody. So you need to be careful about what things you can include and should include into your classifiers to make sure they are ethical.The data set bias is a major issue of AI, because as I said, AI is only as good as the training data that it gets.<section><h3>Peterson: So you're well positioned since data is boxed off. You're not worried about a rogue client coming in and disrupting the whole thing?</h3></section>Socher: This is not like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-microsoft-tay-says-about-the-internet-2016-3">Tay</a>. We're not going on Twitter and everybody can try to mess with it. In most cases, our customers also want to have their customers have a good experience so they have the incentive to train AI in a way that everybody enjoys working with it.Peterson: If I am a salesperson on Salesforce, and I am extremely bad at my job, is that going to be reflected in the way Einstein treats me?Socher: In fact, you'll probably - and this is one of the beautiful things - you'll probably get better because of Einstein. The simple example of lead and opportunity scoring, somebody who's just starting - let's not say they're bad, but they're maybe novices - they're just starting, they don't know all of the background stories on these sometimes large companies. They've had so many interactions, so many emails sent back and forth. So you might not know that you shouldn't be reaching out to this company at this point because they have just had some other issue, they're doing a restructuring, so they're not going to buy some new thing because they're dealing with their own issues.The lead and opportunity scoring could give you insight like that, like you should reach out to them, they're very excited, and then like in three weeks or four weeks if they didn't get back, it's much more likely to succeed. Maybe they forgot about it for some reason but they're actually interested they just forgot about it.So there are a lot of things in AI that can help make people more efficient. And I think especially in sales, that's just a win/win. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ray-dalio-bridgewater-debt-crisis-downturn-coming-about-two-years-2018-9">Ray Dalio says the economy looks like 1937 and a downturn is coming in about two years</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

The Tucker Carlson origin story

<div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div>Getty</div>On Sunday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association voted on the year's best in film and television. 
While Ben Affleck was snubbed for a director nod at the Oscars, he got a double dose of vindication when he and the film scored victories for Best Director and Best Picture, Drama. "I don't care what the award is," he said while accepting the directing statue. He then thanked his wife, actress Jennifer Garner, for "sitting through this."
Lena Dunham, Daniel Day-Lewis, and "Les Misérables" also won big, while Sofia Vergara and "The Newsroom" came up short.
