I’m glad Ilya starts the talk with a photo of Quoc Le, who was the lead author of a 2012 paper on scaling neural nets that inspired me to go into deep learning at the time.

His comments are relatively humble and based on public prior work, but it’s clear he’s working on big things today and also has a big imagination.

I’ll also just say that at this point “the cat is out of the bag”, and probably it will be a new generation of leaders — let us all hope they are as humanitarian — who drive the future of AI.
