“Invention is a cumulative, compounding process. It feeds on itself.”
― Mustafa Suleyman, The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future

“The irony of general-purpose technologies is that, before long, they become invisible and we take them for granted. Language, agriculture, writing—each was a general-purpose technology at the center of an early wave. These three waves formed the foundation of civilization as we know it. Now we take them for granted.”
― Mustafa Suleyman, The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future

“The importance of curiosity in reinforcement learning algorithms suggests that a brain designed to learn through reinforcement, such as the brain of early vertebrates, should also exhibit curiosity.”
― Max Solomon Bennett, A Brief History of Intelligence: Evolution, AI, and the Five Breakthroughs That Made Our Brains – A Neuroscience Framework for Understanding Future Machines

“The truth, not widely understood until later, was that the deep-learning revolution was as much a revolution in hardware as software. It was the product of not one but two unpopular, cast-off, discredited, and cash-starved technologies whose ideal form could only be revealed in synthesis. Neural nets running on parallel computers: these tightly coupled technologies were the twin strands of DNA for a new and powerful organism, looking to consume all the data in the world.”
