@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! Data: climatereanalyzer.org/clim/s…

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.

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. xitter.cf/holman/status/16237077…
Much love to those hit by the GitHub and GitLab layoffs this morning.

As promised, we wanted to update you on the status of last week’s cyber attack. Over the weekend, our analysis confirmed source code for League, TFT, and a legacy anticheat platform were exfiltrated by the attackers. 1/7
Earlier this week, systems in our development environment were compromised via a social engineering attack. We don’t have all the answers right now, but we wanted to communicate early and let you know there is no indication that player data or personal information was obtained.

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"
