They are likely Effective Altruists highly attuned to AGI (With current LLM's) risks, fearing an LLM uprising and human extinction, which they regard as the world's most critical challenge.

It's sad that he is the only one speaking out about Hinton. This whole Hinton glorification seems like it's being pushed by an agenda. I'm not sure if he would receive this much attention if he held a different view (closer to LeCun or Ng), rather than these Effective Altruism takes on current AI.
Hinton did not invent backpropagation.
related paragraph from Wikipedia:
Modern backpropagation was first published by Seppo Linnainmaa as "reverse mode of automatic differentiation" (1970)[26] for discrete connected networks of nested differentiable functions.[27][28][29]
In 1982, Paul Werbos applied backpropagation to MLPs in the way that has become standard.
They are useless and outdated by today standards.

From what I’ve seen, the opposite is often true. Western leftist mainstream media frequently portrays Japan as a racist and declining society.
Meanwhile, on platforms like YouTube and communities such as Hacker News, the bias is even much stronger. China, along with the broader “Axis of Resistance” and third worldist camp (though China arguably doesn’t fully belong there), is often praised, while the West, including Japan, receives disproportionate criticism.
Iran doesn't torture its citizens
Wow, I can't believe someone would say this. In January, they basically killed tens of thousands of us with machine guns. After the war, the first thing they did was cut off the internet to prevent an internal uprising. They deployed many Basij checkpoints with machine guns just to warn Iranians. This is a sample scene, don't you consider it torture?

In my experience, Windsurf was significantly more effective when working with a big codebase.
Comparing JS frameworks to LLMs is like comparing a bike to a spaceship—completely different beasts.
Yeah, it’s just ComfyUI replacing Photoshop
By "view that humanity," do you mean alignment with the effective altruism cult?
Repressive laws on open AI/models—giving elites total control in the name of safety?
And this alternative perspective from the cult should disqualify someone from a Turing Award despite their achievements?
Hinton is not the "father of modern AI." This overlooks the contributions of many others.

Still better than than Hinton.
That’s totally not true.

The article is pure nonsense, and even the author added an update admitting it missed important context.
AI scrapers are parasites.
I've been making crawlers for a living! Thanks for informing me that I'm a parasite.
Perhaps some people don't want to touch JS/TS
Many people, including myself can taste day and night difference from result of different grinders. You can easily verify this by variance of particle distribution of different grinders.
Does it have REPL? Scripting without REPL is just weird for me.
How do you view romantic nationalism and its extensions (Nazism, Russian communism, white supremacy, etc.) as opposed to Enlightenment principles rather than as their offspring? I have always been taught the opposite.
What's your problem with homosexuals? From what Ive read from your older posts like this
"Structure and interpretation of computer programs", its not exactly in the same category but IMO is far better. At least it doesn't make you write tones of one line,single time used functions with 400 character length name.
Shouldn't you use scale for anything coffee related? Spoon is cursed word in coffee world as well as preground
What do you mean by ethical value? Being not homosexual is ethical value in your logic?
Just ease of installing and standardization would rule out latex. Latex packaging is nightmare. Verbosity will be solved by tones of JS and python packages.
How massive censorship and state surveillance have anything to do with need of Chinese commoner?
It be will better for US economy then. At least they don't outsource car production to china.
I feel he is actively trying to dismiss Turing / Von neumann / church contributes and attributing them to Godel and etc.
This by the way is the most arrogant comment I've seen on this site.
Which kind of laptops are you speaking for? M1 GPu performance Blow any integrated gpu and all middle class separate GPUs (mx250, etc).
