See "Geoffrey Hinton in conversation with Fei-Fei Li" where the two got together and looked back at the developments over the last ~10 years, including why and how they did their part: * ▶ this video
This 'conversation' with Geoffrey Hinton and Fei-Fei Li goes over a lot of the history of things (1h50m): * ▶ this video * link ('mirror') Goes over Hinton's history and why he went the direction he did with his research, as well as Li's efforts with ImageNet.
François Chollet says LLMs do not learn in-context. But Geoff Hinton says LLMs' few-shot learning compares quite favorably with people! ▶ this video The truth is in the middle, I think. They learn in-context, but not as well as humans. The approach in the article hides the unreliability of current LLMs by generating thousands of programs, and still the results aren't human-level. (This is impressive work though -- I'm not criticizing it.)
