Lmaooooo
Interesting
well we now know what ilya saw.
lol
"If you believe something, don't give up on it, until you understand why it is wrong! ... Don't let people tell you it's nonsense, if you can't see why it is nonsense" 🔥
Hello, I have questions.
Professor told us some questions about AI, I agree that and many studies.
😀
🤣
03:33 "I'm particularly proud of how one of my students fired Sam Altman"
😂😂😂
He was briefly fired and reinstated in November 2023.
Plz explain me .
@@User9us0jd Hinton explains a bit more at 15:01
Master!
Class act. Within the first minute he acknowledges his collaborators. This is why the best want to work with him.
6:00 "i'm not quite sure how a neural network could get rid of Doug Ford" This is gold 😂
It's a whole vibe.
3:33 who is here to listen :"I am particularly Proud of how one of my students fired Sam Altman."😂😂
He was briefly fired and reinstated in November 2023.
5:16 What do you believe your legacy will be when it comes to AI?
6:03 How would you use a neural network right now to improve Toronto as a city?
6:35 How is the Canadian research landscape different now from when you were starting out, and what is the biggest hurdle to reaching more research breakthroughs in Canada today?
8:01 Both you and Dr. Hopfield have warned of the dangers of unchecked AI and not understanding enough about how it now works. How do we avoid catastrophic scenarios?
8:48 For a long time, AI was not seen as a sexy or popular technology like it is today. I wonder if you could share a bit of what it was like to work on the underpinnings of the technology before it was so ubiquitous?
9:36 Can you elaborate on your concerns around AI? Do you believe it might become more intelligent than humans? Why and how quickly do you believe that could take place?
10:23 Who was your first call when you heard you'd won the Nobel Prize? What was the reaction?
10:57 You initially mentioned being "flabbergasted" when you got the news about the Nobel win this morning. Can you tell us a bit about how your day has gone since?
11:52 How do you reconcile receiving this recognition with your outspokenness about the need to slow AI advancement [note: Hinton disputes this part of the question] and the risks the technology poses?
13:12 Do you think students and even professionals over-relying on LLMs is going to have a dumbing-down effect, or will we operate on a higher order?
13:58 You used the word "flabbergasted" when you learned about the award. Why were you so surprised?
15:01 Can you please elaborate on your comment earlier on the call about Sam Altman?
16:02 You mentioned the uncertain future around AI and the need for greater understanding of its potential opportunities and risks. Do you believe governments [should] look at stepping in to regulate AI more strictly? How can governments better support AI research?
16:51 Any plans for the money that comes from the Nobel yet?
17:34 Do you have any recommendations for how to prevent serious consequences in the future - how people should be careful of AI and its use?
18:19 I know you said it's hard to predict what "going bad" might mean, but if you had to hazard a stab at some rough areas of concern, what would those be?
19:22 You've spoken a few times today about the provincial government and the Ontario Science Centre. Why is that top of mind as you receive this recognition?
20:34 When people talk about the AI and technology landscape in Canada, your name always comes up as an example of what Canada can achieve. But people also say the country has to be careful not to squander the opportunities you've created. What do you think Canada can do to hold on to its status as a major player in the AI space?
21:42 You persisted with research in artifical neural networks even during periods of waning interest in the topic among the scientific community. Do you have a message for professors and students about persisting with endeavours that may be deemed unpopular or futile?
22:36 When will AI surpass human capabilities? What will happen as a result?
24:08 [to Meric Gertler] How do you expect Professor Hinton's Nobel Prize to reverberate through the university and inspire scholarship in AI and other fields?
25:41 What are the exciting next frontiers for you in AI?
26:58 You offered some specifics on where AI can go poorly, such as cyberattacks, false videos, etc. Can you give some more specific examples of how it can play a positive role?
29:02 Is there anything that we haven't touched on during this press conference today that you would like to mention?
29:56 Why do you think we haven't yet reached the point you predicted where AI is playing a bigger role in health care? Are there any barriers left to this happening?
Thank you for hosting this conference. As an alumnus, a proud Canadian, and a global citizen interested in AI, I was so excited to hear about Dr. Hinton's win today!
thank you for the timestamps, awesome
gods work
This man is based beyond any understanding
Actually so awesome. Nobel Laureate winner just comes out throwing shade like its nobodies business.
That word doesn't mean what you think it does... He's the opposite of based.
Nah hes a boomer socialist that thinks the world is gonna end and we need goverment to save us. Could not be less based.
«This man is based beyond any understanding»

It is how bluff succeeds in manipulating the gullible.
Professor Geoffrey Hinton is not only a recognized expert but also a genuinely remarkable human being.
This is already in my library, thank you the University of Toronto, Meric Gertler, for honoring the work and contributions to the University of Toronto over his career, congratulations Professor Hinton on the acknowledgement from the Nobel foundation, this is definitely a celebration of the way Canada does science. Thank you again Doc for taking the time here, it was generous of you to do so, peace
Thanks for sharing the whole footage, Reuters' report skipped this opening part which includes "I'm particularly proud of the fact that one of my students fired Sam Altman"
This next question is for Professor Hinton
Environnement is very important for researchers. Subtle mind is always found amongst mathematicians. Congratulations to this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics laureate!
Glad he mentioned Rumelhart, too few these days know
I hope his name can be remembered more especially in psychology departments all around the globe.
Yes!
Well-deserved Professor...
16:55 I'm going to give it away to charities ... which provides jobs for neurodiverse young adults. Such a beautiful way to show compassion!
such humble person
What if: the Nobel prize committee did this to amplify Hinton's warnings.
Wow he really did say that 😂
Question for Professor Hinton if you ever get another chance, you recently were talking about digital programming being used to augment the LLM performance, is this still a research project you're interested in seeing develop? Thank you doc, and for promoting science in the Canadian educational landscape, 2cool, peace
Such a smart mind and very humble person! Congratulations!
Smart... yeah, humble... no
@@yourfriend9503 he said he's gonna donate his money to charity. Do you think anyone could be more humble than this???
@@theshadow8900 Philanthropy is not the definition of humble.
@@mzahra1 I'm not here to convenience anyone for sure!!! Surely you might be right. I don't care.
@@mzahra1 says the person who has nothing to contribute in this world
Ai is legitimately the future of Science
He shouldn't really have said that but he has the right to do so
Congratulation Professor
FYI It's David Rumelhart not David Rommelhart.
Why are we staring up at this gentleman? Although Hinton in now a giant, for sure.
I am not sure how neural networks can get rid of dough ford 😂😂
Better than Wynne!
I beeing working and using most of the theory to do programming and machine development all my life, is being incredibly frustating for so many years to being told how such a bad programmer and developer I was just because very few people actually know how all this math works. And now I know I was really lucky that one of my early teachers believe in this and force us to learn in deep his work on Parallel Models.
And I am extremly happy that finally after all this storms of hot air egos in the software industry and all that pile of money making aberration companies the real builder of this technology get the recognition whe deserves.
Thanks Dr. Hinton, you work give me the knowledge to build my career, it might not be as big as the rest of all those big names, but for me it was everything.
@islamerlougy Yes, you are absolutely right. What I meant to convey is that the term 'fired,' as used by Hinton, is not meant in a negative sense but as a synonym for ignite or spark. Hinton intended to express that Ilya inspired Sam through his ideas, which have led to what we now see as OpenAI. Thank you.
English, NOT Canadian, but my old uni can be proud.
"wtf why him"
*Listens to him speak for 5 minutes*
"Ok i get it."
9:36: "Most of the top researchers I know believe that AI will become more intelligent than people. They vary on the time scales. A lot of them believe that that will happen sometime in the next 20 years. Some of them believe it will happen sooner; some of them believe it will take much longer. But quite a few good researchers believe that sometime in the next 20 years AI will become more intelligent than us. And we need to think hard about what happens then."
22:29: "When will AI surpass human capabilities? What will happen as a result?"
Hinton (22:36): "So nobody knows when, but most of the good researchers I know think it will happen. My guess is it [will] probably happen sometime between 5 and 20 years from now. It might be longer. There's a very small chance it'll be sooner. And we don't know what's going to happen then. So if you look around, there are very few examples of more intelligent things being controlled by less intelligent things, which makes you wonder whether when AI gets smarter than us, it's going to take over control."
27:11: "So I actually made a prediction in 2016 that by now AI would be reading all the scans that radiologists normally read. That prediction was wrong. I was a bit overenthusiastic. It may be another five years before that happens. But we're clearly getting there."
Would be much wisser if he puts that 1 award money into stocks and donates the yield every year, and nothing in the years where it is negative
❤️
15:02: "So OpenAI was set up with a big emphasis on safety. Its primary objective was to develop artificial general intelligence and ensure that it was safe. One of my former students, Ilya Sutskever was the chief scientist and over time it turned out that Sam Altman was much less concerned with safety than with profits and I think that's unfortunate."
Sam Altman caught strays but he's made a lot of enemies in this space. Professor Hinton is at that dgaf part of his career about clearly. Let him voice his opinion.
bro really said that lol!!
he is really like that
What is the professors networth?
Not relevant
$150
We cannot make sure it is safe.
Congrats! Professor Hinton. But he looked ill. Take care!😮
He only got 1h sleep.
3:30 incredible to see this come out of the God Father of AI 🤣🤣🤣
5:17: "I'm hoping AI will lead to tremendous benefits, to tremendous increases in productivity, and to a better life for everybody. I'm convinced that it will do that in health care. My worry is that it may also lead to bad things. And, in particular, when we get things more intelligent than ourselves, no one really knows whether we're going to be able to control them."
Why does this video look like it was AI-generated by a Commodore 64?
The student is Ruslan Salakhutdinov.
No, Ilya Sutskever - ex Chief Scientist, OpenAI
Nope, he meant Ilya
I've been hoping for the AI Singularity for over twenty years, but I can't help but feel that hopeful path of discovery and stewardship has turned into a race to the bottom by profiteers and techbros. That Hinton states over and over the dangers posed by this approach isn't by chance.
There's those of us who see AI as a child of humanity, which will need guidance and teaching and might one day surpass us but with us accepting that with pride that our children inherit the world. Then there are those who see AI as a slave- or a workhorse, to be exploited as much as possible for the biggest gain as possible... I genuinely fear that way because it can lead to the slave rebelling and we'd deserve that reckoning.
Unhinged Hinton.
Had to find this source video to check if it was real about altman lol.
Kinda ironic that this is one of the consequences of AI.
🎉👍🏻🥂
Congrats, though its not physics
Alam ko nag retirement na po kayo pero trabahuin ulit po ang AI sir para matutu mga tao paano ito gamitin nang tama kasi AI mas matalino kesa sa lahat okay. Basta po gamitin sa tama ito ligtas po lahat kaya pag aralan ulit po kasama ang ating military federation same 🕸 network po sir
He seems Grumpy for Winning a Nobel prize 😂
He did kind of give off the vibe that his actual stance is:
You're giving me a prize?!?!
Are you MAD?
My invention is going to get us all killed!
I'm the last person who should get any sort of prize!
Of course he couldn't say that out loud, since it would be highly unprofessional.
But that's just my interpretation.
has to be what he was thinking
It is not related neither to computer science. It is related to neural network try-it-ology, that being a methodology of a try & try again cannot be classified as science. The danger lies in attributing intelligence to stochastic processing without whatever cognitive ability (btw neither now nor in the future).
AI in this case is a misnomer since there's no whatever cognitive (logic, inference, classification, categorization, relation, etc etc) ability / representation involved. The real AI has to do with symbolic logic with which a cognitive representation is made.
All this hot air hype is dangerous for the humankind, much more than a real AI, because it compromises the cognitive ability of the humans.
The world is already getting too complex to be understood and governed, so this kind of phenomena, of attributing excessive value to statistical elaboration, is dangerous because it revolves around cognitive misleading.
God save the World from utter bluffs.
This video is ai genereted
LOL
Absolute bs
Seems bitter :/
It’s related to mathematics, biology, and computer science. What does it have to do with physics?
Physics is just trying to stay relevant. Computer science is mathematics, not physics. This is outrageous.
The risk of AI going woke is greater than going rogue.
Percentage-wise, yes.
How does going Woke kill people?
