Over 1,400 tech leaders and academics including Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp have signed an open letter calling on Artificial Intelligence developers to pause training of some of their more sophisticated AI experiments, citing risks they claim could result in “loss of control of our civilization.”
The letter, published by the Future of Life Coalition on Wednesday, comes at an unprecedented period of growth for AI, which has garnered significant attention in recent months thanks to chatbots like ChatGPT, image generators like Dalle-2 and Midjourney and voice-cloning software.

Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak are among the more than 1,100 signatories of an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on the development of advanced A.I. systems.
The letter calls on technology companies to cease training A.I. systems that would be more powerful than the latest large language processing system known as the Gpt-4. According to Fortune magazine, A.I. power tends to correlate with the model’s size and the number of specialized computer chips needed to train it.
Musk has been outspoken in concerns about unrestricted A.I.’s threat to humanity and was was an original cofounder of the OpenAI nonprofit research lab in 2015. He broke with that company in 2018 and has since been critical of the company’s acceptance of billions of dollars in investment from Microsoft.
Other signatories to the open letter include Emad Mostaque, the founder and CEO of Stability AI,...

Twitter, like many places on the internet, is full of trolls. And also lots of people worse than trolls.
Those people are why Tracy Chou founded Block Party. The tech startup offers what it describes as “middleware”–aka third-party augments that operate on top of existing social media platforms and let users control their experiences.
In Twitter’s case, Block Party lets you do things like blacklist individual tweets so that your account automatically blocks anyone who likes or retweets that post. That’s a feature any Block Party user gets for free; it also offers paid functions like keyword filters, where users can block accounts that tweet specific words or have specific words in their usernames.
Chou launched Block Party in January 2021, and now her company has raised its first 4.8 million in seed funding, TechCrunch reports.
The round was led by Stellation Capital with participation from venture-capital firms Impellent Ventures,...
