A technical article demonstrating that ncurses terminfo parameter expansion can simulate two-counter Minsky machines, making it Turing-complete. By leveraging persistent registers, arithmetic operations, and conditional logic in terminfo, arbitrary programs like Fibonacci sequences can be executed as parasitic computations within terminal applications like /usr/bin/top.
Stephen Fry delivers a lecture on artificial intelligence at King's College London, discussing AI as both promising and threatening. Drawing parallels to converging technological currents forming a tsunami, he argues for preparedness across universities and institutions, while humbly acknowledging the limits of human understanding regarding AI's future impact.
