A generative AI company founded in 2022 by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google DeepMind and Karen Simonyan. Inflection AI's first product, Pi, which stands for "personal intelligence," is a chatbot.

A Happy Computer
Pi was given the input "what is a happy computer," and the following was the result:

 A happy computer is a computer that is working
 smoothly and efficiently, without any glitches or
 technical issues.

 A happy computer is like a well-oiled machine, it
 runs quickly, responds to user input accurately,
 and doesn't give its user any trouble.  It's like
 a happy worker bee, buzzing along, doing what
 it's supposed to do without a hitch.

 A happy computer is one that makes its user smile,
 instead of frustrating them!





An Urgent Warning
A New York Time's bestseller, Suleyman's 2023 book warns about the future risks that AI poses and how they can be contained.
