AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton won a Nobel Prize earlier this month for his work pioneering the neural networks that help make AI possible.  Also, he believes that his creation will hasten the spread of misinformation, eliminate jobs, and might one

Turns out that when large language models (“LLMS”) get larger, they get better at certain tasks and worse on others. Researchers in a group called BigScience found that feeding LLMs more data made them better at solving difficult questions –
