[1/2] Theodore Kaczynski is led out of federal court where he was charged with a single federal weapons violation April 4,1997. June 10 (Reuters) - Ted Kaczynski, former math professor and "twisted genius" who came to be known as the Unabomber when he carried out a 17-year spree of mysterious bombings that killed three people and baffled the FBI, died on Saturday at the age of 81. Kaczynski's younger brother, David, tipped off police that the author's ideas sounded like those of Ted. In 1980, Kaczynski sent a package bomb that exploded and injured United Airlines President Percy Wood at his Illinois home. Kaczynski detailed how modernization has destabilized society, subjected humans to indignities and "inflicted severe damage on the natural world."

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants his workforce to know the company is in the middle of the artificial intelligence race. During a meeting with employees Thursday in the Hacker Square pavilion at Meta's Menlo Park headquarters, Zuckerberg discussed Meta's AI efforts, a spokesperson confirmed. Meta said it's giving employees access to several internal generative AI tools to help develop prototypes, and the company is hosting a hackathon for workers to show off their AI projects. Meta executives told employees the company is still committed to releasing AI research to the open-source community. Last week, Meta told employees they will need to work at the company's offices three days a week, starting in September.

Goldman Sachs is bullish about generative artificial intelligence: It expects it will drive upside in the broader S & P 500 — and one specific corner of tech. An AI-fueled rally has already brought the S & P 500 to highs this year, but Goldman predicts there's going to be further upside. Thanks to demand for generative AI, supply of AI server equipment is likely to get a boost in the next couple of years, Goldman Sachs said in a separate report on June 1. Currently, there are around 150,000 units of generative-related AI server shipment this year — around 1% of total server shipment, according to the bank. It named buy-rated Unimicron , giving it a price target of 235 Taiwanese dollars, or upside of around 33%, as well as Kinsus (price target of 180 Taiwanese dollars, or 55% upside), Taiwan Union Technology (price target of 93 Taiwanese dollars, or 22% upside) and Elan Microelectronics (price target of 250 Taiwanese dollars, or 141% upside).

More specifically, AI could disproportionately impact the middle class of white-collar workers — the folks who are mid-career, mid-ability, mid-level, and yes, in some cases, mediocre. In other words, the lessons learned from months or years of experience are baked into an AI tool. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for example recently told Time that the same could be true for software developers. This doesn't mean the great software developers won't remain great software developers but the ability for more people to enter the field will increase. That's good news for many wannabe software developers, but it's also bad news for many existing software developers.

The number of new funding deals so far this year is less than last year's Q1 total. The trend is in line with the larger VC funding slowdown in 2023, with the exception of AI deals. That's more than a 50% drop in the number of deals and total deal value from Q1 2022, which had 161 edtech venture deals totaling about $1.3 billion. Reach Capital recently raised a $215 million fund to fund both early and later stage edtech startups. Amid dismal funding for startups this year, the one bright spot has been for AI startups with some generative AI startups raising rounds well over $100 million.

Given the growth potential, Goldman looked to recent earnings call transcripts to identify the companies that are actively discussing the potential opportunities, and risks, from AI. Goldman found a basket of 24 companies that are pursuing AI or can help enable new technologies across software, semiconductors, tech hardware, media, internet and information technology services. Alphabet has been a popular AI play among high-profile investors such as Bill Ackman and Stanley Druckenmiller. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms has touted AI computer chips, which will eventually power more advanced metaverse-related tasks, including virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as generative AI. Goldman also highlighted software names that are either pursuing AI or would act as enablers of AI, including Datadog , CrowdStrike , Snowflake and Salesforce.

Analyst Brent Bracelin raised his price target on shares to $400 from $348, saying he was increasing estimates "for an AI All-Star." Recall, Microsoft Cloud is poised to exceed $110B in F2023 which is larger than the entire business in F2013 at $78B. We think the Microsoft AI opportunity could be bigger than cloud," Bracelin wrote in a Tuesday note. Microsoft shares have been on fire this year, surging more than 38%, as excitement grows around the prospects of artificial intelligence. The analyst added, however, that "AI tailwinds can justify further multiple expansion as AI news flows further converts into higher confidence in out-year growth."

Last week I asked you all a question in the newsletter — Do you own Nvidia stock? One of you even told me you first bought the stock when Nvidia was $16(!) Nvidia is the clear winner in the AI arms race so far. A secretive hedge fund has likely notched a $5 billion gain on Nvidia stock this year. Shares of the company hovered near their biggest single-day spike ever, and the chipmaker credited AI for its upbeat quarterly outlook.
Some of the most overbought stocks this week on Wall Street are chipmakers, as investors piled into the artificial intelligence play after Nvidia's blockbuster quarter. A stock with a 14-day RSI greater than 70 is considered overbought, signaling investors may have gotten too bullish on a stock. Here are the most overbought stocks that came up. AMD topped the list, with a a 14-day RSI of 89.72, according to FactSet data. Defensive stocks such as health care and utilities dominated the list of most oversold stocks this week, including Humana .
Google invented AI technology like the Transformer, which led to breakthroughs in the chatbot race. Essentially, outside researchers gain access to a piece of AI technology from Google and continue iterating on it, which in turn benefits Google's own products. Several experts in patent law spoke to Insider about Google's AI patents, namely why it hasn't used them against competitors and whether it even could. Technical and legal questions aside, it would be somewhat hypocritical for Google to sue anyone for infringing its AI patents. Patent warsLegal experts pointed to the idea of "mutually assured destruction" to explain why tech companies would file patents without enforcing them offensively.
