راس سالاخوتدینوف، از کله‌گنده‌های هوش مصنوعی، یه تیکه سنگین و باحال انداخته به یه مشت از این استادها و پژوهشگرهای باسابقه دانشگاه

Fun fact about (some) AI researchers / academics: the more senior you get, the more convinced you become that every new AI idea is something you already invented 20 years ago. Or, even better: wait until something actually works and then try convincing everyone that this is exactly what you’ve been saying all along. I was at a conference where a speaker was presenting their research. One academic stood up and said: what you’re doing is actually something I did a few years ago. The speaker was very polite and said thank you for pointing this out. Then a second researcher stood up and said, well I already did it this 10 years ago, you should cite my work. Then a third person said, I already did all of this about 20 years ago. It was the funniest thing ever.
