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

[John P. Rudy]

I thought the Hinton video-talk on AI was possibly the best talk we have ever had at LCTG and I strongly suggest that those who were unable to hear it yesterday take the time now.  It is about 40 minutes

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
