I don't see any of that in the article, in fact quite the opposite. The article explicitly states that neither Fei Fei nor NVidia were thinking about neural networks when creating ImageNet or CUDA, rather it is spinning the serendipity of the three unrelated efforts coming together to create deep learning, and the idea that none of the three would have happened if it weren't for people pushing ideas that went contrary to conventional wisdom. > I don't think we can say that Hinton accidentally created the deep learning boom. Yeah, the headline is unclear, but I read it as referring to Fei Fei being the "accidental" contributor to deep learning, not Hinton.
