Geoffrey Hinton

“Hinton, credited with helping build the intellectual foundation of large language models, spoke to the team at CPP Investments.”

“The change in values going from a human-dominated world to an AI-dominated world would be much more dramatic than the change of values we saw going from the forager era to the farmer era, or from the farmer era to the industrial era.”

“Google's 2013 acquisition of DNNResearch (the Hinton/Krizhevsky/Sutskever spinout) for a reported $40-44M implies roughly $15M per head, the top of the market through 2017.”

“As Jeff Hinton says, model computation. So we built our own circuit as we grow up and we built our own learning algorithm with the hardware.”

“Back in 2015-16, Hinton said we shouldn't be training any more radiologists because deep learning had already surpassed human radiologists. Yet today the number of radiologist positions hasn't decreased — it's actually hit new highs, with rising salaries.”

“Deep learning had just been invented by Jeff Hinton and colleagues sort of in academia, but almost no one had really realized it was a big deal.”
