Unless I'm mistaken, the transformer architecture isn't your invention either, yet you claim to understand it better than Geoffrey Hinton.

Did you invent the transformer architecture yourself, and I am mistaken to guess that you probably understand it less than Geoffrey Hinton does?

I'll venture a wild guess that you probably haven't been working in the field as long as he has, and you don't personally know as many people in the field as he does, huh?

Or is my presumptuous chain of logic just a random thoughtless unconscious probabilistic stream of tokens that has nothing to do with reality, and I don't realize I'm speaking to Ashish Vaswani himself?

Then why don't you use your real name as you HN handle, are you really that modest, Ashish? And don't you have better things to do than posting to Hacker News? If you really wanted to win an argument from authority, you could at least post under your real name, Mr. Vaswani.
