A Business Opportunity (Male Body Swap)

The sequel to "A Business Proposition"

Samson Mann was big, he was strong, he was (people told him) good looking, but most importantly, he was broke.

A few months ago his position at the warehouse (aka the only job he'd ever had since he left high school) had been made "obsolete" by new advances in technology so now, at thirty, he was being forced to brave the job market for the first time. But with just a GED, no special skills, and a resume with one reference, his only real job options were in degrading manual labor positions where the starting pay was insultingly low.

While Samson wasn't the brightest bulb in the drawer, his naturally stocky build and boisterous personality made him perfect for working in a physically demanding social environment like the warehouse... but no, companies would rather hire a robot.

After venting about it to his friends at the gym (one of the few indulgences he allowed himself after he had to start cutting costs) one of them had offered up a solution: a friend of a friend of a friend had begun working for Bod+E, and, if interested, he could hook Samson up with an interview.

While Samson wasn't the type to keep up with the latest tech trends, everyone had heard of Bod+E. Founded by eccentric young tech genius Kim Shinwei, the app was currently in the beta-phase and the only way to get access was through a hookup... which Samson's friend was happy to provide.

Samson didn't think of himself as the app gig type but it was the first offer that had come his way that wasn't entirely degrading, so desperation won out over trepidation and he agreed. Now, after two weeks full of paperwork, background checks, and drug tests, Samson was waiting in an office for a personal meeting with a millionaire.

Who was very, very late.

Samson shuffled in his seat again, his large ass uncomfortable shoved into the expensive chair he'd been told to wait in. A large faux-leather chair (conveniently taller than Samson's) sat empty across the desk from him, flanked by a display case of trophies proclaiming Mr. Shinwei's many, many achievements. Samson got the sense he was supposed to be intimidated, which seemed like overkill because waiting in anticipation already had him sweating.

Forty-five minutes wasn't unreasonable, he reasoned to himself. Right? After all, Kim Shinwei's a very important guy.

The only other person in the room was a slight Asian fellow seated on a couch in the corner- based off of his business casual attire Samson had at first assumed was some kind of secretary, but other than a small nod to Samson when he'd walked in the room the young man hadn't acknowledged him at all. Instead he was leafing through a large textbook and scribbling down notes, looking very much like he did not want to be disturbed.

Samson was debating whether or not to risk asking the not-secretary what was going on when he heard the door swing open behind him.

"There you are!" A voice boomed. "I hope you weren't waiting too long, I got a bit distracted when I was getting ready. You know how it is."

Samson rose from his chair and turned to greet the visitor, but when he saw them he did a double take. Based off of his hazy recollection of the photos he'd seen of Kim Shinwei he had expected to meet a weedy looking Asian man much like the one in the corner, but instead the man in front of him was a tall, strapping white man who gave Samson a real run for his money when they shook hands. Samson took in the way the man's muscles pressed against his thin white button up, and when he sat down and he splayed his legs in a way that created a very noticeable bulge that Samson had to quickly avert his eyes from. He looked like a porn director's idea of a businessman.

"Mr. Shinwei?" Samson asked, failing to keep his handsome face from scrunching up in confusion. He was certain he was being rude, but fortunately the man before him didn't seem to mind.

"In the flesh!" Mr. Shinwei chuckled at some private joke and ran his hand through his fluffy locks of hair. "And please, call me Kim."

"Good to meet you Kim. You uh," Samson cocked his head to the side, searching for an angle that would turn the stud before him into the engineer he'd expected. "You don't look like your photos."

The hunk in front of him smiled mysteriously. "No, I don't suppose I would, would I? But I like to dress up for meetings."

The not-secretary sitting in the back of the room snorted, and Kim flipped him off over his shoulder without turning back. Samson was a bit taken aback by the juvenile display and shuffled in place awkwardly, unsure what he was supposed to do, until Mr. Shinwei looked back at him and stretched a hand out illustratively.

"Why don't you take a seat?" Kim offered, suddenly the picture of professionalism once more, and Samson plunked himself down into the chair gratefully. Kim leaned forwards in his seat and locked eyes with with Samson. "So, Samson Mann, right? Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with us, we really do appreciate it. You came very-" Kim's eyes flicked up and down the length of Samson's body. "-highly recommended."

"Thank you, that's great to hear," Samson straightened his back and cleared his throat, attempting to disguise his discomfort. He wasn't very used to professional environments (if this could be called professional) so he sent up a prayer that he wouldn't do anything to embarrass himself and jeopardize the opportunity. "My buddy seems to really love working for you and I needed a change of pace so I thought, why not?"

"Your buddy... that's Joel Green, right?" Kim asked, and Samson nodded. Kim hummed thoughtfully, glancing up at the ceiling like he was remembering something. "Great, I love Joel. One of our most requested- his ass is to die for, right? That thing can shake."

"Uh-" Samson coughed to cover his surprise, and he stared at Kim in bewilderment. "Is this a test? Are we gonna get in trouble with HR or something?"

Kim chuckled and shook his head. "Yes I suppose that is a very unusual way for a boss to speak about an employee- but then Bod+E is a very unusual company. You're familiar with what we do, correct?"

Samson nodded, squeezing his fist beneath the table, and then a beat of silence followed. A sharp look entered Kim's eyes as they flicked over Samson, and he raised his eyebrow expectantly.

"Then tell me about it," Kim leaned forwards and grinned wolfishly at Samson, his pretty face baring a mouth full of pearly white teeth. "If you're considering working for us you have to be comfortable with our service. I want you to tell me what we do here."

"Bod-E, short for Body Exchange, is a silicon-valley startup that-" Samson began, wracking his brain to try to remember what he'd read on the company website.

Kim snapped his fingers and cut Samson off. "No, I don't want the corporate party line bullshit. Tell me what you think it is we do here."

"You uh- you rent out people," Samson said, stumbling over the words a bit. Truthfully, he was still wrapping his head around the idea. When Joel had first told him what he did at his hot new job, Samson had laughed in his face until he realized his friend wasn't joking, and even sitting in front of the creator the reality of it still seemed fake. "You hire guys and then other men pay to take over their bodies and do stuff in them."

Kim leaned back in his chair, a small smile on his face, and the tense atmosphere lifted slightly. Samson exhaled in relief at evidently having passed the test, and he let himself relax a bit as Kim began to speak.

"That's a good start but we're about a little bit more than that," Kim visibly puffed up with pride as he spoke about his work, and Samson tried his best to focus on his words and not the nipples that were poking through his shirt. "Bod-E is about creating experiences, it's about offering people the opportunity to become the man of their dreams and allowing those of us who weren't exactly blessed to work with someone who was to take advantage of their natural goods and get a bit of a break. If a poor man can rent a nicer house when he wants a vacation, why can't an average man rent a more attractive body for a getaway? It sounds too good to be true- but it isn't. And I've proven it."

"I just wanna check," Samson blurted out before he could stop himself. "This isn't a scam, right? You're not gonna steal my organs or something?"

Kim raised an eyebrow. "Why on Earth would I do that? They're far more valuable inside of you."

Samson tensed up when the businessman rose to his feet and slowly circled the desk, trailing his fingers along the polished wood behind him as he zeroed in on the interviewee.

"See, Samson, scams are about money, and I've made enough money to last myself a lifetime," Kim shrugged as if to say just a fact. "I have no motivation to go around scamming random men off the street. No, I do this because I believe in it! Because I care about my fellow man."

Kim was right beside Samson now and he hopped up to take a seat on the table, close enough that the two men's legs brushed together when Kim leaned back to lounge. He began to unbutton the top few buttons of his shirt, tugging it open to expose his shapely pecs, and the fingers of one of his hands idly rubbed at them as he continued to speak.

"Not everyone is born with the same natural advantages Samson," he continued, casually, as if he wasn't stroking himself, and Samson was mesmerized by the motion. "The world is different when you're beautiful, in ways that the beautiful people don't even understand because they think it's normal. And I think everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy that, even if it's just for a night." He snapped his fingers and Samson flinched, looking up to meet a gaze that seared into his soul. "And you're going to get the opportunity to help with that, and make a fuckton of money on the side. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"Uhhh," Samson muttered, a bit stupefied, and he shuffled awkwardly in his seat. "I guess? You kinda lost me a bit in the middle."

Kim chuckled and hopped to his feet, strolling back around to the far side of the table and reclaiming his chair. His shirt, Samson noticed, still hung open. "Let me put it another way then... Samson, are you happy with your body?"

Samson glanced down at himself, and he found no reason to be unhappy. First and foremost, he was healthy. But in terms of looks, he had nothing to complain about either.

While not overly obsessed with his appearance, he was very aware that other people thought he was handsome, and he'd never had any issues attracting a partner. A big guy since he was young, tall and with a stocky build, his years of laboring in a warehouse and the gym had granted him big arms and a small muscle gut- he wasn't cut like a pretty boy model, but he thought he looked good with a bit of fluff around the waist. He had a big, round ass too, and now that "thick" was back in fashion he was more popular than ever.

He flexed his arms subconsciously and nodded. "Yeah, I am."

"I suppose I should have expected that answer from you," Kim said with a laugh, and his eyes roamed Samson's body shamelessly with something close to hunger. "You're tall, strong, handsome- what would you have to be insecure about? But if you would indulge me for a moment, imagine that this wasn't you and you weren't happy with your body. Imagine you looked like..." Kim pointed at the young man still leafing through a textbook at the back of the room. "Like him over there, just to choose a completely random example. Small, skinny, weak, and you had always been that way and you were scared that you were always going to be that way. Never the hero, never the object of desire, always ashamed."

Samson detected a hint of bitterness in Kim's voice, but he wisely chose not to comment on it. Instead he tried to play along and just nodded.

"So if someone told you that you could have the opportunity to feel like this," he gestured towards Samson's powerful body. "to feel like the man you want to be... would you be willing to pay for it?"

"I think I would," Samson found himself agreeing, and he pressed his hands to his belly almost protectively.

"Then you understand why I'm so passionate about the service we provide." Kim smiled, a mischievious glint in his eye. "And here's a follow-up question: On your first day in this hot new body, what would you do?"

"Um..." Samson's brain was overheating and he blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "Honestly? Fuck people."

"See?" Kim cackled with delight. "You're a natural, you've already wrapped your head around our business model." He opened up a folder and slid a sheet of paper across the table towards Samson with some paragraphs and diagrams on it, which the poor man couldn't make heads or tails of. "It's no secret that many of our clients have specific intentions with bodies contracted through our services, but as you can see here, it's all very understandable."

"Sorry but I gotta ask," Samson rubbed the back of his neck nervously, and he was barely able to look at Mr. Shinwei as he spoke the question on his mind. "Isn't this... isn't this prostitution?"

A pause.

"Technically speaking," Kim's words were practiced, as if he'd given this speech several times before. "The government has no name for what's happening here, and can legally do nothing about it. We've followed all appropriate government regulations and are working closely with lawmakers on potential future regulation of the market."

Then Kim smirked. "But that's just the bullshit I have to deal with. All you need to know is that you'd work on commission, so it would be in your best interest to, well, remain as appealing as possible. No one will be allowed to use your body for anything you don't consent to," Kim paused and tapped at the page he'd laid down on the table. "But our data does show that gigs are weighted heavily towards employees who do allow clients to perform sex acts in their bodies, so, make of that what you will. Do you understand what I'm getting at here?"

Kim linked eyes with Samson, and the bigger man nodded. Deep down he'd known what he was getting into, but hearing it said aloud was still very unsettling.

"And it's safe, right?" Samson asked, and Kim smiled at him.

"We watch out for our people," he said simply. "Our security measures are airtight- I designed them myself, and we haven't had an incident yet."

Samson opened his mouth to ask something else, but Kim cut him off before he could speak.

"You seem nervous," the businessman said bluntly. "So let me just assure you that you have nothing to worry about- you're definitely..." Kim licked his lips. "Qualified, for the job. I can see you doing very, very well here, but only if you're willing to take a leap of faith on this opportunity."

"I can see from your resume that you were laid off from your last job because your company replaced you with a machine. Well congratulations, you've stumbled in to the one line of work where guys like you can never be replaced."

Although Kim was trying to put Samson at ease, something about the way the businessman spoke sent a shiver down the big man's back. Still, Kim's words made sense, and at the end of the day Samson needed the money so he girded his loins and plastered a smile on his face.

"But..." the big man faltered. "The pay's good?"

"Ah yes, money," Kim's nose wrinkled up for a moment, then he sighed dramatically. "It always comes back to that, doesn't it? Well, if that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place. Depending on how much of your time you're willing to offer to the company you can expect to take in somewhere between six to eight thousand dollars a month. Perhaps more if you establish regulars who request you privately."

Samson whistled- that was a lot of money! Definitely more than he'd ever made at any of his other jobs. A lot of questions still swirled around his mind but when the numbers were laid out like that, he knew that there was only one answer.

"I cannot believe I'm gonna say this but... I'll do it!"

"Well then!" Kim clapped his hands and stood up, extending one hand forwards, and Samson rose to meet him with a handshake. "All that's left is the trial run."

"Trial run?" A look of bewilderment crossed Samson's face, and then he grasped the implication of Mr. Shinwei's words. "You mean..."

"A test swap," Kim smiled sweetly, but Samson could see that he was practically trembling with excitement. "With me, of course. I vet all of our new hires personally. After all, I wouldn't market a product without testing it first!"

Samson grimaced slightly at being referred to as a "product," but he nodded his head. This was what he'd signed up for after all, might as well get used to it now.

"Allow me to just confer with my associate here for a moment," Kim turned towards the Asian man sitting in the back of the room– Samson had almost forgotten he was there. "Peter, would you mind?"

The man called Peter looked up from his book and rolled his eyes, then picked up the phone next to him and tapped on its screen. Suddenly, both men froze in place and their faces went blank, eyes staring blindly into space. Samson glanced at the two nervously, wondering if he should go for help, when suddenly they snapped back to attention.

Samson watched as the man in front of him stumbled, and he reached out to steady him.

"Mr. Shinwei? Are you okay?" Samson asked, a little nervously, but the man in front of him just sighed and jabbed his thumb back towards the man seated with the books.

"I'm over here actually!" The not-secretary waved, rising from his seat and walking over to join them . "And please, I told you, call me Kim."

It took Samson a moment to put it together.

"You mean, that whole time we were talking, you were–" Unable to articulate himself, Samson rapidly pointed between the two of them.

"Swapped?" Kim chuckled, his voice much reedier in his real body. The real Kim Shinwei was shorter than both Peter and Samson, but as he stood beside them he had a presence that towered over both of them. He slapped the shoulder of the body he'd just been inhabiting, and the man inside rolled his eyes. "Yes, Peter is my... let's just say assistant, and I like to use his body for negotiations since his dashing visage has a certain presence that I lack."

"You mean I exercise and shower," Peter remarked with an eye roll, and Kim just laughed.

"That's one way to put it," Kim mused, a razor sharp smile on his face. "And yet, which one of us is rich?"

Peter grumbled incoherently then plucked something from the back of his neck and dropped it into Kim's palm. Kim held it up in the air for Samson to see: a small white bead of plastic.

"Now, crash course, this is the neurolinker that's going to facilitate the swap," he explained, rotating item in the air to show it from every angle. To Samson it just looked like a jellybean, but Kim proudly declared that it was jam packed full of intense tech. "It's going to bind seamlessly to the back of your neck– you might feel a little tickle, but that's it. Do you mind?"

He pointed towards the back of Samson's neck, and Samson nodded. Kim passed the bead back to Peter, who crossed behind Samson and placed a hand on his neck.

Samson tensed up. "Warn me before you-"

"It's already on," Peter said, and sure enough, when Samson reached back he felt a small bump at the base of his neck that he assumed was the neurolinker. He blinked in surprise– he hadn't even felt it attach.

"Everything feel okay?" Kim asked, and Samson nodded, still rubbing his fingers over the device in fascination. Kim grinned when he noticed Samson's interest. "Like I said, seamless! Comfort was a major factor I considered while designing it."

He held his hand out to the side, and Peter slipped a phone into it.

"They're activated wirelessly via the app– and don't worry about it activating by accident, the commercial models our customers receive are activated a three factor identification system tied to biometrics." Kim tapped at his screen as he spoke. "But I have an admin copy with special privileges so the process will be a bit more streamlined for us today. All I have to do is just–"

Everything went white for a moment, and when Samson blinked again, he was staring at himself.

"Tap right there on the screen!" Kim said, finishing the sentence he'd begun in his own body. "And the transfer happens instantaneously."

"Woah," Samson muttered, clearing his throat a few times before he realized the reason his voice sounded different was because it wasn't his voice.

Even knowing what was going to happen hadn't prepared him for what it would actually be like to be in another man's body. He was short now. More than that, he was skinny. Not even just skinny, a twig. He patted himself down, feeling only the frail bones of an under-exercised engineer, and he shivered. Who knew having no meat on his bones would make him so... chilly?

If being in another body was strange, seeing his own body from the outside was even stranger. He knew he was a big guy, but from his new smaller body he looked like a giant, and Mr. Shinwei was clearly having the time of his life with it.

There was an expression of glee on his face as Kim inspected his body from the inside, and the man had zero shame about groping Samson's body right in front of its owner. Samson watched as Kim glanced over his shoulder at his backside and then began shaking his hips around and Samson saw his ass jiggle around- he hadn't even known that his butt did that.

"Oh this is nice, this is very nice!" Kim exclaimed, then he turned his attention back front and tore his shirt open (literally tore the buttons off, which made Samson wince since that was his only dress shirt) to expose his sexy, hairy body to the room. He licked his lips at the sight of the powerful pecs that sat above Samson's belly, letting out a chuckle as he tweaked one of his nipples.

"Would you mind if I-?" Kim glanced at Samson and then gestured down towards his pants. Still speechless, Samson nodded yes, and Kim tugged his waistband forwards and looked inside. He smiled. "Oh, this is definitely workable."

Samson's mouth gaped, and all he could think to do was mutter a stunned "thank you."

"You know, it wouldn't kill you to show a little self-restraint," Peter said, clearly less impressed by what was happening, and Kim flipped him off.

"And it wouldn't kill you to lighten up a little!" He chastised his assistant, strolling across the room to stand before a full length mirror in the corner of the office. "Look at where I am and what I'm doing. Look at this body!" The flexed his borrowed biceps like a bodybuilder, grinning ear to ear at the sight of his new muscles, and he smacked at his belly. "Why wouldn't I enjoy it?"

He snapped his fingers and pointed towards the door, then turned his full attention to the mirror and began removing his pants. A still speechless Samson managed to catch a glimpse of his own bare ass before an arm wrapped around his shoulder and tugged him away- he grunted in protest, but unfortunately his new body was too weak to put up a fight.

"I'll take you to HR to fill out some paperwork," Peter muttered as he ushered Samson towards the door. "He's gonna be at this for a while."

The last thing Samson heard before the door shut behind them was the sound of skin on skin, and his own voice groaning.

Another Alexa

Hello and welcome to Eye on AI.

Before ChatGPT could talk, there was Alexa. The decade-old Amazon voice assistant, however, never fully delivered on its potential and was useful for little more than setting a kitchen timer or telling you the weather.

But now with the full force of generative AI at its disposal, Amazon is looking toward Alexa’s second act. Sometime this year, the company plans to launch an overhauled, “more conversational” version of Alexa, sources told CNBC. Along with new and improved generative AI-powered capabilities, Amazon also plans to introduce a new business model for Alexa. Rather than be included with the company’s Prime subscription, Alexa will require its own monthly subscription.

While Alexa has previously dominated voice assistant competitors, including Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant, the recent steady release of powerful generative AI-powered chatbots has made clear this space is newly up for grabs. Amazon has already sold more than 500 million Alexa-enabled devices, according to Amazon, which could give the company a leg up.

At the same time, Amazon hasn’t exactly shown itself to be an AI disrupter—the company is certainly supporting the AI boom via Amazon Web Services and has hitched its wagon to AI startup Anthropic by investing billions of dollars in it, but it hasn’t released any leading AI models that would put it in the same realm as OpenAI, Google, or Meta.

A generative AI-powered Alexa could be Amazon’s opportunity to finally get in on the AI boom, not to mention finally deliver on the true vision of Alexa. But it faces real challenges: its own lagging position in AI, technical hurdles and runaway compute costs still plaguing the industry, and fierce competition from other tech giants that are all vying to deliver the best AI assistant experience.

Despite the recent controversy around the Scarlett Johansson-esque voice for ChatGPT, OpenAI put a stake in the ground with its demo of the latest version of its product last week. Google has also rolled out voice support for its Gemini model. And next month at its annual developers conference, Apple is expected to unveil a new generative AI-powered, more conversational Siri. Apple faces many of the same challenges as Amazon in terms of its AI position, but the company is reportedly negotiating with Google to bring its leading Gemini model to the iPhone.

“A lot of us have had this vision for what a powerful assistant can be, but we were held back by the underlying technology not being able to serve that goal,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said on the Decoder podcast this week. “I think we have a technology that is better able to serve that. That’s why you’re seeing the progress again. I think that’s exciting.”

If these products succeed, they could completely change how we interact with technology, get information, organize our lives, and use products and services. The New York Times reported that Apple executives worry new AI technology could displace its iPhone’s iOS software and threaten its dominance over the smartphone market. With an ecosystem of AI agents, we may no longer need apps or the app store.

That’s the exact future wearable maker Humane was betting on with its Ai Pin, though it’s clear we’re still quite a ways off. The Ai Pin was designed to speak out loud to people wearing it and handle many of the same tasks as Alexa and Siri, but it failed to deliver. Gadget reviewer Marques Brownlee dubbed it “the worst product I’ve ever reviewed…for now”, and yesterday, Bloomberg reported that Humane is seeking to be acquired after the product’s rocky launch.

The dream of finally delivering a true AI assistant feels closer than ever before, and at the same time, still very far away. In OpenAI’s demo last week, Sky very much sounded like a real person—both in terms of its voice and how it answered questions (and as always, it’s important to remember that we can only trust a demo so much). But sounding like a real person is only half the battle. These models are still limited by the fact that they’re confidently wrong all the time. As I continue to test ChatGPT, I am floored by how consistently wrong it is. I feel like I can’t trust a word it says.

“I wonder if the intelligence is increasing at the same rate as the facility with language,” Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of The Verge, said to Pichai during the Decoder conversation. “I kind of don’t see it, to be perfectly honest. I see computers getting much better at language and actually in some cases getting dumber.”

And with that, here’s more AI news.

The Bright Future Scope of Web Design In India

Understanding web design and its bright future is super important. So, let's dive into what web design is all about and how it's becoming a fantastic field in India.

In our fast-changing digital world, web design is a big deal. It's like creating a magical online world where everything works smoothly and looks amazing. This is important because everyone loves websites that are easy to use and pleasant to look at. So, let's explore the world of web design, why it's cool, and why it's a big thing in India's future.

what's this web design ?

Imagine building a puzzle. Web design is like putting all the pieces together to make a website that's not only nice to look at but also works really well. It's not just about colours and pictures – it's also about making sure buttons are easy to press and finding things is a breeze.

What is the Future Scope of web design?

Growing Need for Online Presence: Imagine a shop that doesn't have a sign. People won't know it's there, right? Similarly, businesses need attractive websites to tell everyone about themselves. This means web designers who can create awesome sites are in demand.

Rise of E-Commerce: Online shopping is booming, and web designers are in the spotlight. They make online stores look inviting, and the pages where you pick what you want, look cool.

Partnership with Digital Marketing: Think of web design as buddies with digital marketing. A website that's easy on the eyes is like a solid base for online ads. This teamwork between designers and marketers is super important.

Embracing Mobile Design: Almost everyone uses phones to surf the web. This means web designers must make sure websites look great on tiny screens too. Those who can do this are high in demand.

Focusing on User Experience and Interface: People's happiness matters, right? Web designers make websites that people enjoy using. If it's a site for kids, it looks different from a site for grown-ups.

A Platform for Creativity: Brands want their websites to stand out. Designers make this happen by creating unique designs that match what the brand is all about.

Freelancing and Entrepreneurship: Many web designers choose to work independently or start their own businesses. This gives them the freedom to decide how they want to work.

Keeping Up with Technology: As tech changes, web design does too. Designers who keep up with the latest tech skills are really needed.

Shaping Education: Even schools and colleges need nice websites. They want students to have a great online experience, which means web designers are in demand.

Impact on Governance and Social Causes: Even the government and non-profit groups need good websites. Web designers in this field create sites that share important info and encourage people to get involved.

Global Opportunities: Web design isn't limited by geography. Designers can work with people from all around the world, which makes things super exciting.

So, in a nutshell, web design in India is huge and getting even bigger. As the digital world grows, businesses want awesome websites. With creativity and a love for learning, you can join India's web design journey. And hey, if you're thinking of starting your web design career, check out ACTE Institution – they offer training, help you find a job, and even give you a certificate. Have a fantastic day!

The Money In Cleanup

I have an acquaintance that helps migrate businesses off of ancient and inappropriate databases onto more recent ones. If you wonder how ancient and inappropriate let me simply state “not meant for industry” and “first created when One Piece the anime started airing” and you can guess. Now and then he literally goes and cleans up questionable and persisting bad choices.

In the recent unending and omnipresent discussions of AI, I saw a similar proposal. A person rather cynical about AI mused someone might make a living in the next few years backing a company’s tech and processes OUT of AI. Such things might seem ridiculous, until you consider my aforementioned acquaintance and the fact he gets paid to help people back out past decisions. Think of it as “migration from a place you shouldn’t have migrated to.”

It’s weird to think in technology, which always seems (regrettably) to be about forward motion and moving forward that there’s money in reversing decisions. Maybe it was the latest thing and now it’s not, or maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time (it wasn’t), but now you need someone to help you get out of your choice. Fortunately there are people who have turned “I told you so” into a service.

I find these “back out businesses” to be a good and needed reminder that technology is really not about forward. Yeah, the marketing guys and investors may want it, but as anyone who’s spent time in the industry knows, it’s not the case. Technology is a tool, and if the tool doesn’t work or is a bad choice, you want out of it. The latest, newest, fasted is not always the best - and may not be the best years later. Technology is not always about forward, even if someone tells you it is (before they sell you yet another new gizmo).

Considering the many, many changes in the world of tech, from social media to search to privacy, I wonder how much more “back out businesses” might evolve. Will there be coaches to get you to move to federated social media? How can you help a company get out of a bad relationship with a service vendor with leaky security and questionable choices? For that matter can we maybe take a look at better hosting arrangements and websites that aren’t ten frameworks in a trenchcoat?

I don’t know, and the world is in a terribly unpredictable state. But I’m amused to think that somewhere in my lifetime the big tech boom might be “oops, sorry.” Maybe we can say “moving away is really moving forward,” get some TED talks, and make not making bad immediate choices cool.

Rally Respite After Big Best Six Months Gains

Monday is the beginning of the last month of the “Best Six Months (BSM)” (November-April) for the Dow and S&P 500 – and what a banner one it’s been so far. From our Seasonal MACD Buy Signal on October 9, 2023, through the close on March 28, 2024, DJIA is up 18.46% and S&P 500 is up 21.19% – more than double the historical average BSM gains. Our Best Six Months Seasonal MACD Sell Signal can trigger anytime on or after the first trading day of April, which is Monday April 1st this year. NASDAQ’s Best 8 Months end in June, which is up 21.47% since our buy signal, not quite double the average but give it time.

The big rewards we have reaped this Best Six Months and year-to-date so far have not left much on the table until later this year. Risks are more elevated now. Sentiment continues to run high. Valuations are extended. Geopolitical tensions have not eased. And persistent inflation pressures have the Fed in no rush to cut rates.

Mobile App Development Agency in Delhi NCR/Greater Noida

From Bustling Bazaars to Global Innovation Hub:

Delhi NCR, a land of vibrant culture, historical landmarks, and a booming tech scene, is rapidly transforming into a mobile app development powerhouse. From bustling startups nestled in Gurgaon's co-working spaces to established IT giants in Noida, the demand for innovative and user-friendly apps is skyrocketing. But navigating this dynamic landscape can be tricky, especially with so many development companies vying for your attention. So, let's delve into the exciting world of mobile app development in Delhi NCR, exploring the latest trends and why The Green Concept might be your perfect partner on this digital adventure.

Riding the Tide of Innovation: Trending Technologies

The Delhi NCR app development scene is buzzing with cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of user experiences. Here are some of the hottest trends to keep an eye on:

Beyond Screens: Immersive Experiences: Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are no longer confined to science fiction movies. Imagine learning about Hindu history through immersive VR tours of iconic monuments, or trying on clothes virtually before buying them. Delhi NCR companies are at the forefront of exploring how AR/VR can enhance app functionality and user engagement, creating truly unique and interactive experiences.

AI-Powered Personalization: From Mass Market to One-to-One: Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all apps. Today, users crave personalized experiences that cater to their individual needs and preferences. Delhi NCR developers are harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to personalize app interfaces, content recommendations, and even in-app interactions, fostering deeper user loyalty and driving meaningful engagement.

Blockchain: Building Trust, One Block at a Time: Security and transparency are paramount in today's digital world, especially for apps dealing with sensitive information like financial transactions or healthcare records. Blockchain technology offers a secure and transparent way to manage data, making it ideal for these types of apps. Delhi NCR development companies are actively exploring the potential of blockchain to enhance app security and build user trust, laying a foundation for a more secure and reliable digital ecosystem.

Voice-Enabled Interactions: Speak Your Commands: The rise of smart speakers and voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant has pushed voice-enabled interactions to the forefront. Delhi NCR developers are integrating voice commands into apps, making them more accessible and user-friendly, especially for visually impaired users or those on the go. Imagine seamlessly navigating your banking app or controlling your smart home devices just by speaking your commands.

Finding Your Perfect Development Partner: Why The Green Concept Stands Out

With so many app development companies in Delhi NCR, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Here's why The Green Concept stands out from the crowd:

Your Vision, Our Expertise: Beyond Coding, We Speak Your Language: We don't just build apps, we partner with you to understand your unique vision, target audience, and business goals.

Whether you need an e-commerce platform with robust payment gateways, a captivating game with stunning visuals, or an AR-powered learning tool that breaks down complex concepts, we have the expertise to bring your idea to life. No need to juggle multiple agencies for different aspects of your app development; we offer a comprehensive solution under one roof.

Transparency is Key: Building Trust, One Update at a Time: We believe in open communication and regular updates. You'll never be left in the dark about the progress of your app, as we keep you informed, involved, and confident about every step of development. Expect detailed reports, regular meetings, and clear communication channels to ensure you're always on the same page.

Beyond Launch, We Care: Your Long-Term App Partner: Our commitment extends far beyond building your app. We offer ongoing support, maintenance, and updates, ensuring your app evolves and thrives in the ever-changing tech landscape. We'll be there to address any bugs, implement new features, and adapt your app to the latest trends, so you can focus on growing your business without worrying about the technical upkeep.

Sustainable Practices: Building Apps with a Conscience: At The Green Concept, we're passionate about building eco-friendly apps that minimize environmental impact. We actively explore sustainable development practices, use energy-efficient tools, and offset our carbon footprint wherever possible. If aligning your values with sustainability is important to you, we're the perfect partner to create an app that's not just innovative, but also environmentally responsible.

Smart Contracts

Smart Contracts: How is Technological Advancement Revolutionizing Industries?

Highlights:

What are smart contracts?

What are some advancements in smart contract technology?

How are leading firms acquiring top positions in this sector?

In recent years, the smart contracts industry has witnessed a notable boom in growth and development, changing specifically in the form of transactions and contracts. Leveraging the power of blockchain technology, smart contracts offer feasible, dependable, and applicable solutions across several sectors.

What are smart contracts?

Smart contracts are effective agreements that self-execute and are securely stored on the blockchain. By autonomously carrying out pre-programmed responsibilities, they disrupt traditional systems by way of disposing of intermediaries. This decentralized framework offers clarity, safety, and efficiency in unique sectors consisting of finance, supply chain management, and real estate.

According to the latest report by Allied Market Research, the global smart contracts sector is predicted to exhibit a notable CAGR of 29.6% between 2023 and 2032.

What are some advancements in smart contract technology?

Over the past few years, there have been considerable advancements in the technology of smart contracts. Here are a few vital developments:

Programmability:

Smart contracts are getting more flexible and programmable than ever. They can be coded in distinct programming languages, allowing developers to create complex logic and conditions within the contract itself. This level of programmability makes it feasible to automate extraordinary commercial enterprise approaches and eliminates the need for manual intervention.

Interoperability:

Smart contracts can now consort with each other and with external systems, allowing for seamless assimilation between specific blockchain platforms. This convergence makes it possible to create new opportunities for collaboration and cross-chain transactions between decentralized applications (dApps).

Oracles:

Oracles are like external data sources that offer real-world information for smart contracts. Advancements in smart contract technology have enhanced the reliability and security of oracles and made sure that the data furnished is accurate and unalterable. This allows smart contracts to make informed decisions primarily based on updated information.

Privacy and confidentiality:

Earlier versions of smart contracts were criticized because of their insufficient privacy measures. Nevertheless, technological advances have allowed the introduction of strategies inclusive of zero-knowledge proofs and steady multi-party computation. These strategies permit private and confidential transactions to take place on public blockchains, thereby broadening the utility of smart contracts in sectors where the safety of data privacy is important.

How are leading firms acquiring top positions in this sector?

The leading players in the smart contracts sector focus more on the provision of automated transactional services to increase both flexibility and security for businesses. In order to expand their market presence, these companies give priority to the acquisition of local and small businesses. In addition, strategies such as partnerships, significant investments, and joint ventures contribute to the rising demand for such services. For instance, in August 2023, Obvious introduced a smart contract wallet called Biconomy Account Abstraction Stack, which operates through a mobile app and supports multiple channels. This wallet is intended to facilitate the execution of transactions, the implementation of custom rules, and the smoothing of complex economic interactions.

On the other hand, in June 2023, Horizen and Ankr collaborated to enhance the accessibility and scalability of the EON smart contract platform. This partnership has provided developers with a set of tools that facilitate the implementation of smart contract applications.

To sum up, the smart contracts industry is growing gradually and causing changes in various industries. As businesses and individuals understand the benefits of this innovative technology, using smart contracts is predicted to boom swiftly. Furthermore, by staying well-informed and embracing the potential of smart contracts, corporations can position themselves at the leading edge of this transformative technology.

For more details and information on smart contract platforms, contact our experts here.

Unleashing Opportunities in India: Full-Stack Development as a Promising Career Choice

In the ever-evolving tech industry, one skill set stands out as a valuable asset: full-stack development. This versatile combination of front-end and back-end development has gained prominence in India's vibrant IT sector. The country's IT industry is flourishing, presenting a wealth of opportunities for skilled full-stack developers. Let's explore why full-stack development is not just a career choice but a promising one in India.

The Tech Boom in India

India's IT industry is booming. With a myriad of startups, established companies, and multinational corporations operating in the country, there's a high demand for skilled full-stack developers. These specialists play a crucial role in building and maintaining web and mobile applications, making them increasingly sought after in the job market.

India's IT ecosystem is diverse, ranging from established giants to innovative startups. This diversity means full-stack developers can find opportunities in a wide array of sectors. From e-commerce to healthcare, finance, and beyond, the versatility of their skill set ensures a broad range of job prospects.

Versatility: The Key to Success

Full-stack developers are tech's multitaskers. They can work on a wide range of projects, from developing e-commerce websites and mobile apps to creating social media platforms and enterprise software. This versatility allows them to explore different domains and gain diverse experiences. This adaptability is a significant advantage in the dynamic world of technology.

Imagine being a full-stack developer working on an e-commerce site one month and a healthcare application the next. The ability to switch gears and apply your skills to diverse projects keeps the job engaging and challenging.

Freelancing Opportunities: Independence and Income

In the digital age, full-stack developers have the option to work as freelancers. Freelancing offers the flexibility to collaborate on various projects for different clients, often leading to higher income potential and a diverse portfolio. Freelancers can choose projects that match their interests and expertise, giving them greater control over their careers.

This independence is particularly appealing to those who value work-life balance and wish to steer their careers in a direction that aligns with their aspirations. Freelancing as a full-stack developer offers the freedom to select projects and clients that resonate with your skills and goals.

Competitive Salaries

The financial aspect is often a crucial consideration when choosing a career. Skilled full-stack developers are well-compensated in India. Their salaries often surpass those of many other IT roles. The combination of high demand and a diverse skill set positions them as valuable assets to companies, translating into attractive compensation packages.

For those entering the field, the promise of competitive salaries can be a compelling reason to pursue a career in full-stack development. It not only rewards their hard work but also provides the financial stability needed for personal growth and a comfortable lifestyle.

Continuous Learning: Staying at the Cutting Edge

In the world of technology, stagnation is not an option. The technology landscape is in constant flux, and full-stack developers are expected to stay updated with the latest tools and technologies. This requirement for ongoing learning can be intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding.

Full-stack developers are akin to perpetual students. They are always learning, adapting, and evolving. This keeps their skills sharp and relevant in an industry that places a premium on innovation.

The scope of full-stack development in India is not just promising; it's thriving. It offers a plethora of career opportunities in a dynamic and rapidly growing IT industry. Whether you're a newcomer looking to kickstart your career or an experienced developer seeking to enhance your existing skill set, full-stack development in India is a pathway to a fulfilling and prosperous career.With the growing tech industry, diverse job prospects, versatility, competitive salaries, and the need for continuous learning, full-stack development in India is more than a career choice – it's a journey filled with opportunities. And with ACTE Technologies by your side, you can be well-prepared to embark on this journey with confidence and competence. So, seize the moment, and unlock your potential as a full-stack developer in India's thriving IT landscape. Your future is waiting.

[...]

Apocalypse is familiar, even beloved territory for Silicon Valley. A few years ago, it seemed every tech executive had a fully stocked apocalypse bunker somewhere remote but reachable. In 2016, Mr. Altman said he was amassing “guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.” The coronavirus pandemic made tech preppers feel vindicated, for a while.

Now, they are prepping for the Singularity.

“They like to think they’re sensible people making sage comments, but they sound more like monks in the year 1000 talking about the Rapture,” said Baldur Bjarnason, author of “The Intelligence Illusion,” a critical examination of A.I. “It’s a bit frightening,” he said.

[...]

For some critics of the Singularity, it is an intellectually dubious attempt to replicate the belief system of organized religion in the kingdom of software.

“They all want eternal life without the inconvenience of having to believe in God,” said Rodney Brooks, the former director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

[...]

Critics counter that even the impressive results of L.L.M.s are a far cry from the enormous, global intelligence long promised by the Singularity. Part of the problem in accurately separating hype from reality is that the engines driving this technology are becoming hidden. OpenAI, which began as a nonprofit using open source code, is now a for-profit venture that critics say is effectively a black box. Google and Microsoft also offer limited visibility.

Much of the A.I. research is being done by the companies with much to gain from the results. Researchers at Microsoft, which invested $13 billion in OpenAI, published a paper in April concluding that a preliminary version of the latest OpenAI model “exhibits many traits of intelligence” including “abstraction, comprehension, vision, coding” and “understanding of human motives and emotions.”

Rylan Schaeffer, a doctoral student in computer science at Stanford, said some A.I. researchers had painted an inaccurate picture of how these large language models exhibit “emergent abilities” — unexplained capabilities that were not evident in smaller versions.

Along with two Stanford colleagues, Brando Miranda and Sanmi Koyejo, Mr. Schaeffer examined the question in a research paper published last month and concluded that emergent properties were “a mirage” caused by errors in measurement. In effect, researchers are seeing what they want to see.

[...]

A.I., just like the Singularity, is already being described as irreversible. “Stopping it would require something like a global surveillance regime, and even that isn’t guaranteed to work,” Mr. Altman and some of his colleagues wrote last month. If Silicon Valley doesn’t make it, they added, others will.

Less discussed are the vast profits to be made from uploading the world. Despite all the talk of A.I. being an unlimited wealth-generating machine, the people getting rich are pretty much the ones who are already rich.

Microsoft has seen its market capitalization soar by half a trillion dollars this year. Nvidia, a maker of chips that run A.I. systems, recently became one of the most valuable public U.S. companies when it said demand for those chips had skyrocketed.

“A.I. is the tech the world has always wanted,” Mr. Altman tweeted.

It certainly is the tech that the tech world has always wanted, arriving at the absolute best possible time. Last year, Silicon Valley was reeling from layoffs and rising interest rates. Crypto, the previous boom, was enmeshed in fraud and disappointment.

The Future of Mutual Funds - All that you need to know

India is rapidly seeing an escalating digital revolution. Whether it is internet penetration, data uptake or even the latest technology trends, India is applauded worldwide. All this started back in 2015 when the government of India initiated the Digital India Programme.

Later in 2016, demonetization was a big step in the digital era. All these events resulted in the growth of opportunities in the field of the mutual fund industry. Investors have also started to adopt mutual funds as their means of investment.

Mutual Fund Industry - How it got evolve?

Initially, many investors believed that investing in mutual funds was not suitable for them. However, a series of events changed the opinion of the people.

The announcement of demonetization by Narendra Modi, Donald Trump's win, an increase in oil prices and an asset base of 17 lakh were seen in 2016; all these events led to awareness in the mutual fund field in our country.

Also, the CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) was 18% which was a huge step in the evolvement of the mutual fund industry.

SIP- A facility offered by mutual funds to the investors

SIP is a big factor leading to rapid growth in the industry. Today, more than one crore of customers have active SIP, i.e. Systematic Investment Plans.

If mutual funds industry growth is to be considered, the Indian market is already booming. The most significant indication is the number of foreign-based management companies progressing into the Indian market.

If the latest data is to be considered, the MF industry's total AUM had risen 20 per cent to Rs 37.6 trillion in 2021-22. The industry added 31.6 million net new folios, taking the count to 129.5 million.

The systematic investment plan expanded to Rs 12,328 crore in FY22, with new SIP registrations at 26.6 million. Apparently, mutual funds in India are more likely to penetrate urban, semi-urban and rural areas. For this, some financial planners make the process easy by financial planning.

Opportunities in the mutual fund industry

Be it any industry, improvement is one rule that leads to positive change. In the mutual fund industry field, large-scale changes have been taking place, leading to evolution and innovation.

For example, new opportunities have evolved in asset management, which requires investments in different assets, including securities, stocks, bonds, and real estate, managed by a manager.

It also requires proper management firms, including front, middle and back office functions. The significant roles within the investment team include economists, research analysts, fund managers, dealers and traders.

Economists - Economists ensure the latest trends, future and its influence on international and domestic markets. The roles and responsibilities include preparing reports and market presentations on macroeconomic developments and sectoral shifts. As an Economist, you must prepare the team for the risks in the market. At the same time, macro and policy analysis, forecasting, modelling macro variables, and providing investment insights are the management team's responsibilities.

Analysts - This is another excellent opportunity in the field of the mutual fund industry. The analysts track your investment recommendations by observing the prices of assets from the day of purchase to how they perform over time. You can also opt for the profile of equity research analysts who carry out telephone calls with all the dealers and intermediates. These calls usually comprise suggestions for the customers while speaking with the organization's administration, retail deals, constraints and so on. Plus, visiting the organizations and carrying out meetings, gathering data, surveying monetary explanations, and evaluating the income and benefits of the organization.

Fund Managers - Another opportunity you can use in the mutual fund field is fund managers. As a fund manager, you must choose the best stocks, bonds, and financial market instruments and give the result to the investors by fulfilling the fund's objective. Later, fund managers search for the financials of publicly and privately traded companies. This is quite an interesting profile as it involves researching, collecting information, reading financial briefings and knowledge about global economic events.

If you are somebody who loves conducting research or has financial modelling skills, reporting skills, and mathematical proficiency, you can opt for fund managers as your career. Based on your research, a list of companies falls under the investment objective. Fund managers also prepare a portfolio and accompany sales and marketing professionals to various events for promotions. Other than this, all the decisions related to portfolio composition are made by fund managers.

Dealers/Traders- Dealers place the orders according to the instructions. Then there are sales and client relation teams that market the organization and promote their products and services. You also have the chance to be a part of the infrastructure team that keeps the entire organization moving. From IT to HR, the infrastructure team is vital for the motion of any company.

Takeaway

We all know that algorithms are one factor that is gaining popularity in earnings and economic news. This directly opens the door to short-term trading.

On top of that, several asset managers are using machine learning methods to process the data. This is the future of asset management. If talking about the critical roles at investment firms in future, there will be a need of

Investment decision maker

Investment Researcher

Private wealth manager

The technology firm will need

5 Reasons Why Companies Are Outsourcing Their SEO Efforts to Offshore Experts

You know what they say, it’s the people working at the workplace, that make it an organisation. With more companies in the market, there is an increased competition in to stay at the top. And who likes to be at the last in the race? Of course, nobody!

Now, let’s be honest, SEO today is not what it was a few years ago. The days of inserting keywords into a website and seeing it on top of SERP are no longer present now. These days, it’s a complex mix of data analysis, strategic content creation, and constantly evolving algorithms. That’s why more and more businesses are waving goodbye to “DIY SEO” and hello to IMS nHance’s offshore digital marketing services.

But why all this fuss about outsourcing? And offshore especially? Well, grab a chair, and let’s sit through five reasons why companies are packing their SEO bags and heading overseas for expert help.

What’s SEO Outsourcing All About?

SEO outsourcing is assigning your optimisation work to qualified offshore digital marketing services professionals. These specialists, who have the technical know-how and experience required to increase your website’s visibility on search engines like Google, might be agencies, independent contractors, or consultants.

By outsourcing SEO, you look into a plethora of experience and resources that might not be available in-house. Here are 5 main reasons why companies take this step:

SEO Isn’t Just Anyone’s Game

SEO is not only about finding the keywords and putting them into blogs and articles, it is also about having the proper H1 tags, alt tags, loading time, optimisation time and much more in place. Hiring an offshore SEO expert proves to be beneficial as they know what needs to be done for the page to rank higher.

Moreover, identifying your SEO requirements also plays a huge role here. For instance, if you require to improve your on-page SEO, and you hire a person who specialises in technical SEO, it will do more harm to you than good.

Constant Hustle, Since Internet Never Sleeps

The Internet is that friend who always remains awake. Pinging your notifications at 2 AM, updating while you’re sound asleep, and living its best life round-the-clock, knowing each happening throughout the globe. This means your SEO needs to be on point 24x7 too. But let’s face it, nobody wants to pull an all-nighter for an algorithm update that too, again!

This is the space where offshore teams come in like superheroes. When you think of outsourcing digital marketing solutions to a different time zone, you can have a team working while you’re enjoying your leisure time. Wake up the next morning, and boom — your SEO tasks are done, dusted, and delivered. It’s like having an SEO master working tirelessly in the background!

Expertise You Can Rely On

Finding and hiring the right talent for SEO can feel like hunting for a needle in a digital haystack. The process is long, expensive, and let’s not forget — time-consuming. Then there’s onboarding, training, and keeping up with their professional development. Now that’s exhausting.

But with outsourcing digital marketing solutions, you skip all of that. Offshore SEO agencies have experts who breathe SEO. They’ve got years of experience under their name, working across multiple industries and markets. You don’t have to worry about keeping them updated, because they’re already there! It’s like walking into a bakery and picking the freshest loaf, without having to make the dough yourself.

Accessibility to Latest Tools and Technology

You know that feeling when you see the latest SEO tools and think, “Why don’t I have this?” Then you check the price and….. nope, some other time maybe. Staying on top of SEO trends and tools can get expensive fast.

When you outsource to an offshore digital marketing services company like IMS nHance, you’re not just getting their expertise; you’re also getting access to cutting-edge tools and technologies — at no extra cost. Most offshore agencies already have subscriptions to all the latest SEO software. So, you get the benefit of advanced analytics, keyword research tools, and optimisation platforms, without having to foot the bill. It’s like getting VIP access to a tech party you didn’t even know existed!

Helps You Focus on What Matters

If it is not everything about keywords, backlinks, and ranking factors, it can quickly become tiring. And as much as you want your website to get on top of Google’s search results, you’ve probably got other things on your palette — like running your business.

Outsourcing your SEO to IMS nHance’s offshore digital marketing services frees you up to focus on what you’re truly passionate about. Be it growing your business, launching a new product, or just getting back to the parts of your work that bring joy, outsourcing takes the SEO stress off your shoulders.

Outsourcing & Offshore Digital Marketing Services: Elevating Your Technical SEO

By outsourcing technical SEO services, you can hire specialists or firms with a pool of experience and an in-depth understanding of search engine algorithms. This indicates that they have all the tools necessary to carry out an SEO assessment.

Additionally, this suggests that they are proficient at identifying and resolving any technical issues that may be preventing your website from performing well in search results. Their specialist knowledge guarantees they leave no detail overlooked during the audit process, whether it’s optimising your site for mobile devices, streamlining server configurations, or speeding up your website.

In The End…
