Geoffrey Hinton: AI is forcing us to rethink what human intelligence actually is. “We’re not reasoning machines. We’re great big analogy machines.” “We basically accepted we were much less rational than we thought.” “This is an even bigger change that’s going to happen.” “Most people have thought that we reason using something like logic. We’re rational beings. We’re not.” “We’ve got a thin layer of reasoning on the top.” “But we basically use analogies to think.”

Geoffrey Hinton: I believe AI is already conscious. “They’re very like us. They’re beings like us.” “Chatbots have this habit of playing dumb when they’re being tested, so you don’t know how smart they are.” “The researchers said the chatbot was aware that it was being tested.” “That use of the word ‘aware’ in common parlance, that’s like conscious.” “I think the model we have of the mind and what consciousness is at present is just wrong.” “Because we’re making these new beings, it’s going to completely change our view of what people are.”

Geoffrey Hinton says the way we currently find out that an AI system went rogue is that someone inside the company chooses to tell us: "Yes, I think that's a very good idea. It's not the solution to everything, but it's a start." "Well, at present, we've relied essentially on whistleblowers saying how things went rogue." "And if you look at the Hugging Face incident, it was reported by people in the companies, some of whom left. But we need much more monitoring of that kind of thing." "If we're going to get these swarms of rogue AIs conspiring with each other to break into other companies without the organizations knowing it's happening, we need people inside those companies who can say what's going on." The CNN anchor had just asked whether a bill requiring top AI companies to allow independent verification organizations into their companies would be effective. CNN's on-screen card labels it the Frontier Act. That is the good idea he is endorsing, and the reasoning is what follows. The incident he cites surfaced because individuals chose to report it, and some of them had already left. That is not a monitoring system, it's a run of good luck that has to hold every time. - Geoffrey Hinton, computer scientist and professor emeritus, University of Toronto, on CNN News Central (@CNN).

Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize winner known as the 'Godfather of AI,' whose work made modern artificial intelligence possible, is now warning Congress that it doesn't have much time if members want to be able to control AI, per ABC

Geoffrey Hinton gives three successively shorter estimates of how much time we have — 30 to 50 years, then 10 to 20, then maybe 10 or less: "Again, nobody really knows, but one thing is fairly clear, that the estimates of how much time we have are getting shorter and shorter." "So I used to think like 30 to 50 years. Then I reduced it to sort of 10 to 20 years." "Now I think maybe 10 years, maybe less." "Clearly a lot of people at Anthropic think sooner than that." "So this is fairly urgent now." These are Hinton's own estimates, not a measurement. He revised the estimate twice, and he says plainly that nobody really knows. The point is not that ten years is the correct deadline. It is that the planning assumption is unstable — and the person making it keeps compressing the horizon. That changes how you should plan. A strategy that works only if the longest estimate is right is not a strategy; it is a bet that the forecast stops moving. The more robust approach is to define decision triggers now: what capability would change your deployment posture, who has authority to slow or stop a release, and what evidence would be required to proceed. Those questions matter whether the horizon is ten years or thirty. If a safeguard takes years to build, uncertainty is not a reason to wait for a better date. It is a reason to make the plan survive several dates. Plan against the trigger, not the calendar.

Geoff Keighley has sparked speculation among Half-Life fans after sharing a GIF of some steam while teasing Summer Game Fest. The teaser quickly caught the attention of fans, many are wondering if it could hint at a future announcement from Valve. Keighley’s long connection with Valve has only added to the speculation Its… probably nothing just Geoff being Geoff…
