No, it does not imply that at all. The One could interpret it that way, and they would be wrong to interpret it that way, because it doesn't imply that, but I can see how someone without a good grasp of the English language might feel it implies that. That's nuance.
But no, it does not imply that at all. And any suggestion that it does imply that is conjecture at best, and not backed up by Dr. Hinton's other tweets on the matter.
- dougfelt 4y agoIt appears to me that it is you who is misunderstanding the comment you quoted. Here is the context: >> Dr. Hinton, often called “the Godfather of A.I.,” did not sign either of those letters and said he did not want to publicly criticize Google or other companies until he had quit his job. > As Hinton says in his tweet, this clearly implies that he left to be free to criticize Google. The comment is saying that Hinton, in his tweet, is saying that the article's statement "he did not want to publicly criticize Google... until" is misleading, and he did not leave in order to criticize Google. This is in fact what he said, and this is what cbolton is saying that he said.
