Okay, so that AI letter signed by lots of AI researchers calling for a "Pause [on] Giant AI Experiments"? It's just dripping with AI hype. Here's a quick rundown.

First, for context, note that URL? The Future of Life Institute is a longtermist operation. You know, the people who are focused on maximizing the happiness of billions of future beings who live in computer simulations.

"NOT BACK TO NORMAL FORWARD TO BETTER! consider this to be your friendly reminder that even if your feed is back to 'normal' we should not go back to normal. Normal wasn’t working, normal wasn’t healthy, normal wasn’t safe. Our society had normalized racism, greed, violence, complete exhaustion & capital gain at the expense of others." - https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZbak1JGn-/

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, has passed away at 94.

In 1965, he predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals into the foreseeable future, increasing data-processing power exponentially. This came to be called Moore’s Law.

Moore later added that the evolving technology would make computers more expensive to build, but consumers would be able to pay less bc so many would be sold. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/obituaries/gordon-moore-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Salesforce - 9,000
Google - 12,000

We updated RSA host keys at #GitHub

You can run:

ssh-keygen -R github.com

to update your known hosts. This command should fix any of the host key or MITM warnings you will inevitably see using git or ssh.
