Workforce software is a lot of things, but boring is no longer one of them: A former employee of the HR company Rippling admitted in court documents this week to stealing company secrets for its direct competitor, Deel, which had already denied any wrongdoing. According to written court testimony from the self-proclaimed mole, Keith O’Brien: The CEO and founder of Deel personally asked O’Brien to spy on Rippling in 2024, and “I recall him specifically mentioning James Bond.”
Damia Group Portugal, one of the main references in specialized recruitment in information technology, announced the acquisition of Landing.Jobs, a leading platform in technological recruitment that has more than 350,000 professionals. This operation aims to strengthen Damia’s value proposition, allowing a more comprehensive offer to its customers and promoting the company’s growth, both nationally and internationally.
Raising capital is an inevitable step for almost any startup founder — unless you’re building a business that is profitable from day one. However, a big raise comes with big responsibility — not just for the capital itself, but also for maintaining solid investor relations. This involves clear, transparent communication, as otherwise, you risk being nothing more than a bystander, watching your idea come to life or fall apart without you. History repeats itself far too often for us not to learn its lessons: The curtain call for Jack Dorsey, the boardroom battle that led to the departure of Steve Jobs, and — how could we forget? — the investor-driven departure of Jerry Yang from Yahoo. Cases like these are countless; you could fill an entire book with them. But is it possible to take control of such subjective things? Well, at least you can try. Here’s how.
University of Vermont and Trinity College Dublin propose an innovative analogy between AI models and genetic encoding to help us understand how genes encode the complex information that enables them to create an organism. By comparing current generative AI models that produce novel instances of images and text by distilling many prior examples into their most essential features and recombining those attributes in new ways, the paper argues that genomes similarly represent the most important features of an organism, distilled over countless generations of evolution into the attributes that most effectively represent it and stored in the form of DNA.
Artificial intelligence (AI) could be eroding its users’ critical thinking skills and making them dumber, a new study has warned. The research — a survey of workers in business, education, arts, administration and computing carried out by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University — found that those who most trusted the accuracy of AI assistants thought less critically about those tools’ conclusions.
