10th December 2024: Geoffrey Hinton gave a speech while accepting his Nobel Prize. (No Thank you, no honored-to-be-here. This man used the highest platform available to him to warn against the invention winning him that Nobel).

June 2024: He said the same thing at the AI for Good Summit.

May 2023: He quit Google after being one of the pioneers, citing risks from the technology.

His speeches were actively kept off google search results on AI safeguards (I have experienced this myself).

29th July 2026: 1100 IT staffers and leaders signed a letter, asking Washington to "pace" the development of AI. Signatories include Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Claude Code’s head Boris Cherny, OpenAI co-founders John Schulman and Wojiciech Zaremba, and Meta’s vice-president of AI research Dawn Song.

Note: This is the first time that employees and leaders have come together to say the same thing.

Is this a case of "What goes around comes around", or a case of "Next time, listen to the experts"?
