My experience with G. Hinton, is that he will refute anyone who conflicts with his ideas, not applying a logical/mathematical argument, but by calling them "a CRACKPOT".
Soo,... looks like he's now calling himself a CRACKPOT !
By the way, wonder how those large corporations (Google, Nvidia, etc..) that invested 100s of $Millions into his "Deep Learning" brand of NN's, feel about Hinton's sudden change of heart.
Hope they are A-OK with an investment, where the inventor is now publicly claiming that "it should all be thrown away"... HA !
