If a guy becomes famous almost exclusively for having a beef with someone else (and this someone else really doesn't need to beat any drum in order to be famous), then something is wrong. Basically these days this is what Schmidhuber is associated to. Which is kind of sad, really.

He's only famous for the beef among people who aren't familiar with his earlier work and the huge contributions it made to the field.
- caddemon 3y agoIt's hard not to think of the beef when you think of him now though, even if you already knew some of his work. To be clear I don't think that should take away from what he did accomplish, but it's like a Pavlovian association at this point to also have his behavior come to mind.
- martopix 3y agoI should not have said "becomes famous for...". I meant that today, his name is mostly associated with that, when people talk about him.
