Could be, but I suspect that Hinton is a true believer. Genius has never been any kind of defense against madness.

Damn did you just use the term “RetCon” for…basic literary analysis about a book written in the late 1970’s/early 80’s on a literal typewriter? By the man who literally coined the term “The Web” in the way we now use it for the internet, in what many consider to be the first Cyberpunk novel?

It’'s relevant expertise to the technical argument being made, sorry that I guess you want to stick to an anti-intellectual standard where expertise isn’t valued or something

AI will HACK ALL THE TVs by the end of 2026! Or not
As an adhd enjoyer, that deadline gave me second-hand anxiety. Gotta have some slack in that schedule.

You can’t feed generative AI on ‘bad’ data then filter it for only ‘good’ data
Look, AI will be perfect as soon as we have an algorithm to sort "truth" from "falsehood", like an oracle of some sort. They'll probably have that in GPT-5, right?

Where are the bed sheets?
Also, where are the family photos? Framed art? Kid drawings?
Edit: Cobra Commander and the Baroness at home in a GI-Joe movie directed by Michael Bay circa 2008.

I'm sorry, I'm being awfully mean and petty on the internet today.

I find absolutely consistently that gen-AI advocates are literally unable to tell good output from bad output. They think people who say their output is garbage are just lying to have a go at them.

Marques Brownlee's ‘Panels’ Backlash, Explained
I use subscription services to get the best letters of the alphabet.
For example, I use WinnrWinnrChicknDinnr to get access to the letter W (upper AND lower case!) for only $69 a month!
No idea why they needed my SSN, but look I'm not some pleb that uses free letters.
