Business Onion · 2:25

In 1958, the U.S. Navy unveiled a machine it said would one day walk, talk, see — and even know that it existed. It was called the Perceptron, and it could learn on its own. Eleven years later, two of the most respected scientists in the field proved how little it could really do, the funding dried up, and the whole idea was written off as a dead end. But one man — Geoffrey Hinton — refused to let it die. By the 1980s he'd made it work on paper. The world's computers just weren't ready yet. This is Part 1 of the story of how a buried idea became ChatGPT. Follow for Part 2 — THE DAM BREAKS. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events. All quotes, dates, and figures are verified. #AI #ChatGPT #artificialintelligence #perceptron #deeplearning #history #tech #documentary
