00:20- About Geoffrey E Hinton
- Geoffrey Everest Hinton is a British-Canadian computer scientist, cognitive scientist, and cognitive psychologist.
- He was a Nobel prize winner in Physics, known for his work on artificial neural networks which earned him the title of the “Godfather of AI”.
11:15- How did you start working with Alex and Ilya on the research that led to AlexNet?
- There were very few professors researching neural nets at the time, which allowed the speaker to attract top graduate students.
- Smart graduate students, including Alex and Ilya, recognized the potential of neural network learning.
- The speaker’s research group benefited from this influx of talented students, leading to the development of AlexNet.
45:33- Can you tell us about DeepSeek 3’s computing power and open-source release?
- DeepSeek 3’s model weights are not open-source but are made available for fine-tuning.
- The speaker compares releasing the weights to releasing fissile material, warning against potential misuse.
- The real challenge is in learning and building large models, which requires significant resources.
