4 Businesses Confirmed For Updated Beachwood Mall
- BERKELEY, NJ — Additional plans for the redevelopment of the former Beachwood Mall were approved by the Berkeley Township Planning Board, including the confirmation of four new businesses. Proposals for Berkeley Town Center - the site of the Beachwood Mall, long vacant - were heard by the board at their latest meeting. Redevelopers confirmed that four businesses had signed leases for the new plaza, which will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will feature a Spark Car Wash, Burger King, Taco Bell and a Bojangles. A 7 Brew Coffee Shop is tentative, and there will be two additional fast food pads available. The second phase, which developers are not yet seeking specific approvals for, will include a supermarket and two retail buildings. Bojangles does not have a presence in New Jersey, though one is currently planned for Piscataway. The southern chain focuses on fried chicken. Similarly, 7 Brew has no New Jersey presence. This is a drive-thru only coffee shop. The board raised concerns regarding traffic, particularly with regards to the necessity of a left turn only lane to get into the plaza. There are traffic improvements planned for the project's second phase, developers said, due to the supermarket and big box retailers. They said that the front pads were not expected to increase the level of traffic based on what the site historically has generated in terms of traffic. Chairman Nick Mackres asked if Route 9 could be widened, or to at least make a left turn only lane for those entering the plaza heading north. "This site is so old," Mackres said. "So the traffic counts and the numbers don't really come into effect." Developers agreed to work with the Department of Transportation to create a left turn lane. They also said there would be a driveway connecting with the neighboring liquor store. Improvements will be done to the signalized intersection at Gladney Avenue. RELATED: $1M In Federal Funds Will Extend Western Boulevard In Berkeley The approval of the first phase of the Berkeley Town Center project means that the site, once an eyesore and vacant for nearly a decade now, will soon see activity once again.

'Universal Basic Income Was A Good Idea': AI 'Godfather' Geoffrey Hinton Warns Of Job Losses And Extinction-Level Threat From Tech
- Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” who made headlines last year when he quit his job at Google, has now warned of the potential job losses due to artificial intelligence. He has also called for the implementation of a universal basic income. What Happened: During an interview with BBC Newsnight, Hinton expressed his concerns about the impact of AI on job security. He suggested that the government should consider implementing a universal basic income to address the potential inequality arising from AI-induced job losses. “I was consulted by people in Downing Street and I advised them that universal basic income was a good idea,” he said. Subscribe to the Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox. Hinton also highlighted the potential risks of unregulated AI, stating that the current trajectory could lead to an “extinction-level threat” for humans. He also suggested that a prohibition on the military use of AI could be a better solution. “[Vladimir] Putin said some years ago that whoever controls AI controls the world. So I imagine they’re working very hard,” he said. “Fortunately, the West is probably well ahead of them in research. We’re probably still slightly ahead of China. But China’s putting more resources in. And so in terms of military uses I think there’s going to be a race.” Why It Matters: Hinton’s warning comes amid a growing debate about the impact of AI on the workforce. Earlier this month, a study by Microsoft and LinkedIn revealed that 75% of employees use AI in their work, with over half of them hesitant to admit to using AI for their most critical tasks, fearing that it might make them replaceable. In March, the Institute for Public Policy Research or IPPR cautioned that the U.K. government might face a potential loss of up to eight million jobs as AI becomes more integrated into workplaces. The think tank also proposed that a “jobs apocalypse” can be averted with appropriate government intervention. Meanwhile, the potential for AI to replace human jobs is already being explored in various industries. For instance, Yum Brands is planning to introduce AI-driven bots to boost its fast-food operations, potentially impacting the jobs of thousands of workers. Despite these concerns, not everyone shares Hinton’s pessimism about the future of AI. Previously, Edward Snowden mocked AI pessimists, pointing out that even current AI technologies are not performing as expected.

Beyond Meat rallies after McDonalds and Yum Brands partnerships overshadow weak sales
- Shares of Beyond Meat gained 3.3% during premarket trading Friday after news of partnerships with two of the largest fast-food chains overshadowed weak fourth-quarter sales. The stock fell sharply after the Thursday closing bell when the faux-meat maker announced sales in the fourth-quarter were $101.9 million, compared to the average estimate of $103.6 million. But news that Beyond Meat is partnering with both McDonald's Corp. and Yum! Brands cause shares to retrace their losses. Beyond Meat and McDonald's will enter into a three year agreement that will place the faux-meat maker as the preferred supplier for the patty in the McPlant burger. McDonald's and Beyond Meat will also explore co-developing other plant-based menu items like plant-based chicken, pork, and egg substitutes, according to a news release. This announcement solidifies the relationship between Beyond Meat and McDonald's that began in 2019 with a Canadian test run of a plant-based burger. It also clarifies Beyond Meat's role as the supplier for the McPlant patty, which confused investors in November when the McPlant was first announced.
