@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt).
Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale.
X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth.
xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.
I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

The new @digg brings some great nostalgia, but we're not here to just rebuild the past or clone a competitor. Since @alexisohanian and I left the game, we've dreamed up features that weren't even possible with yesterday's tech. We're bringing more transparency and community partnership unlike anything you've seen, plus AI that unlocks creativity without sanitizing the human element. The timing is finally right to reimagine what's possible. 🚀

The early web was fun. It was weird. It was community-driven. It's time to rebuild that.
Which is why @KevinRose & I just bought back @Digg — rival CEOs turned partners!
Just don't call it nostalgia! This is a necessary evolution.

LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in.
I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool)
Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

I feel like my professional network is much more relevant on X than on LinkedIn these days.
X also introduced job postings on company profiles a few weeks ago.
Do you think X will overcome LinkedIn as the "largest professional network"?

Here we go again, a new record anomaly for North Atlantic sea surface temperatures.
Today's anomaly is a full 1.15°C above the 1982-2023 mean for the day. I thought the previous peak was high, but I may need to extend the y-axis again soon!

Microsoft won’t have salary increases for full-time employees this year. In an internal memo to employees, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella blames economic conditions and says “we don’t take this decision lightly having considered it over several months…”

I'm proud to support bipartisan legislation like the #SAFEBankingAct. The SAFE Act is crucial legislation that allows legal cannabis businesses to access financial services. It's absurd for the federal government to continue to interfere with state marijuana laws and well past time the senate correct this error. #SAFEBanking
🏦 Lawmakers in both chambers of Congress reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act this week with bipartisan support. norml.org/blog/2023/04/27/sa…

Udemy has agreed to pay $4,000,000 to settle a case alleging it advertised fake discounts for its courses.
Remember: using fake reference prices to run sales is illegal under the FTC Act and California's laws. 1/

Just to be clear, this is NOT the number of submissions we receive by month. This is the number of people we've had to ban by month. Prior to late 2022, that was mostly plagiarism. Now it's machine-generated submissions.

Updated version of the graph.

ALT Graph starts in June 2019 and displays monthly data through February. Minor bars start showing up in April 2020. Mid-21 through Sept 22 are a bit higher, but it starts growing sharply from there out. Where months were typically below 20, it hits 25 in November, 50 in December, over 100 in January, and over 500 so far in February 2023.

If former Hubbers are starting to announce it I feel fine breaking the news.
GitHub is laying off 10% of their employees between today and FY23 (I assume this means by July 1st).
They are moving to remote-only and not renewing office leases.

big news for font freaks: Times New Roman is being phased out at the State Department & replaced by Calibri. Secretary Blinken sent a cable to all embassies today directing staff not to send him any more papers with Times New Roman. Subject: "The Times (New Roman) are a-Changin"
