Technology

I have been a DreamHost customer since 2006. I love the affordability and flexibility of their shared hosting. DreamHost allows customers to compile custom PHP extensions on shared hosting. I used this to add LDAP support to PHP. This worked fine until DreamHost upgraded their shared hosting servers to Ubuntu 22.04.

Lately the technology and economic podcasts I listen to have been filled with speculation about the dangers of artificial intelligence. Friends and colleagues have worried. What if the capabilities of AI continue their exponential growth? If AI became more powerful than humans, could it be controlled? Would AI see humans as competition to be eliminated? What could we do to stop it? These threats sound new. In reality each of us has be dealing with threats like these our whole lives.
