Quite the #nobel speech from Geoffrey Hinton. Thanks for the prize, sorry about the apocalypse. “In the same circumstance I would do the same again, but I do worry that the overall consequence of this might be systems more intelligent than us that eventually take control.”

Interesting choice for the Nobel Prize for Physics. Hopfield was long overdue. Striking that it's Hinton alone for deep learning. I recently spoke to someone from the Nobel committee, so know how much effort they put into getting the right people. https://www.nobelprize.org/...

I always found that physicists made great data scientist and ML people. Reason is they have to deal with data at scale. But now this moves to next step. Physics Nobel prize goes to ML people.

This is a bit of a dark horse — had not seen them in any of the sweepstakes ahead of the announcement. But if everything is either physics or stamp collecting we just promoted machine learning to “physics”. (Lovely overlaps with statistical mechanics, too)
