Anyone who knows who Yoshua Bengio to the point that they would be confused would know that he does not work for Google and hence it would not be possible for him to resign from Google AI.
- kragen 6y agoI assumed it was Yoshua Bengio, and I assumed Google had hired him without me knowing about it. There's a long gray area in the middle between "knows that X is a famous researcher in field Y" and "knows every time X changes jobs", and I am in that gray area with respect to not only Yoshua Bengio but actually at least two dozen AI researchers: Peter Norvig, Sebastian Thrun, Richard Greenblatt, Yann LeCun, Doug Lenat, Stuart Russell, and at least another score whose names aren't occurring to me off the top of my head but who I'd easily recognize. So I am one of these people you are saying do not exist. I suspect that actually the vast majority of people who know who Yoshua Bengio is at all are in this gray area with respect to X = yoshuabengio. That is, the people you are saying do not exist vastly outnumber the people who are confident that they are up to date on where Yoshua Bengio works.
