Hinton is a domain expert in AI, case in point Scott Aaronson cites AI revolutionizing protein-folding research, putting many protein-folding academics out of jobs.
I'd argue that AI experts and CS theorists are in a better position to speak about technological change than the domain experts who are trained/selected mainly to practice the status quo.
- a_bonobo 1y ago> putting many protein-folding academics out of jobs. Has this actually happened? I'd wager it's more like in OP's article, AI as a helper that speeds up research, enabling bigger or different research questions. Reliable prediction not of protein shape, but of protein-protein or protein-mRNA interactions, for example.
