[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Article which explains what we saw yesterday

[Harry Forsdick]

Folks,

I thought yesterday's videos about the two people who one the 2024 Nobel
Prize in Physics were both amazing -- even though I had no idea what John
Hopfield was talking about.  Geoffrey Hinton's talk was a lot more
understandable -- probably because I have heard him before and have read up
a lot more on the things for which he was awarded the prize.  In any case,
here is an article I found today about the two contributions for which the
Nobel prize was awarded:

This came, interestingly enough from Perplexity.ai -- which is an excellent
example of what can be done using the results of the two awardees.

For reference, here are URLs to the two videos we saw yesterday:

   - John Hopfield's Talk: Emergence, dynamics, and behaviour
   <https://youtu.be/vTurUGqD_Lo?si=NtCv14B8qTivqUzL>
   - Geoffrey Hinton's Talk: The Godfather in Conversation: Why Geoffrey
   Hinton is worried about the future of AI
   <https://youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY?si=fYPnzS_d75Fn33SY>

Thank you Peter Albin for finding these excellent videos for this last
minute fill-in session of LCTG's weekly meeting.  For me, this is an
example of why I try to attend these meetings each week.

Regards,

-- Harry
