OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 在个人博客上发表文章，阐述了对 AI 未来的愿景，他认为我们距离超级 AI 可能只有几千日。作为一名利益相关者，他的预言可能类似马斯克，更多是为了推销自己的公司。一千天大约是 2.7 年，几千天也就是 3-27 年之间。Altman 称：经过数千年的科学发现和技术进步的积累，我们已经找到了如何溶化沙子，添加杂质，以令人惊讶的精度在极小的尺度上排列成计算机芯片，给它们通电，最终得到能够创造日益强大的人工智能的系统。这可能是迄今为止历史上最重要的事实。我们有可能在几千天内实现超级智能！可能会需要更长的时间，但我相信我们最终会实现这一目标。可以用六个字来概括：深度学习有效。用一句话来说：深度学习取得成功，随着规模的扩大，可以预见它会变得更好，我们为此投入了更多资源。

Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
That strategy is the acquisition of a value-priced company by a growth company. Using the growth company's higher-priced stock for the acquisition can produce outsized revenue and earnings growth. Even better is the use of cash, particularly in a growth period when financial aggressiveness is accepted and even positively viewed.he key public rationale behind this strategy is synergy - the 1+1=3 view. In many cases, synergy does occur and is valuable. However, in other cases, particularly as the strategy gains popularity, it doesn't. Joining two different organizations, workforces and cultures is a challenge. Simply putting two separate organizations together necessarily creates disruptions and conflicts that can undermine both operations.
