Simpler raises $70M for AI-powered internet platform

admin

Several years ago, entrepreneur Dheeraj Sharma’s first company, a software consultancy, was hired by an HR tech firm to develop an app to improve the employee onboarding experience.

Jeffrey Hinton tells us why he feared the technology he helped build.

admin

It took until the 2010s for the power of back-propagation trained neural networks to really make an impact. Working with graduate students, Hinton got a computer to identify objects in images and showed that his technique was superior to others. It also trains a neural network to predict the next letter in a sentence, a precursor to today’s large language models. One of these graduate students was Ilya Sutskever, who researched OpenAI and led the development of ChatGPT. “We’ve got early signs that this thing could be amazing,” Hinton said.…
