“Thanks Alan for featuring both Parti and Imagen text-to-image work from Google! Nice video, neat and informative!”
— Dr Jiahui Yu
“It takes a very special type of intelligence to be able to break down complex topics into digestible forms. This is exactly what you have achieved here Alan. Stellar work! I’m excited to see what trillions can do!” — Miren E.
“Thank you very much, I will read that. You are my go to person for A.I. news and staying up to date with A.I. I look forward to your YouTube video updates. Keep up the awesome work!” — Ziegler P.
“Your responses are now flagged as high priority… Thanks for all the great work, your enthusiasm and attention to detail is really appreciated.” — L Pearce.
“Thank you for simplifying what is going on. I love AI and its progress but don’t understand much about it.” — Guilherme D.
“Currently absorbing your mid-22 report, thanks for sending that one through. As always, excellent and engaging material…” — Philip C.
“…really the best AI information to the public. Thank you soo much. It is very exciting times!!!” — SENJU
“Love you, Dr. Thompson! 👽🤟🏼 Thank you for being a scientist and participating in AI and AGI development. I appreciate this information.” — SW
“I can see the excitement in your eyes. What an amazing time we are living in. I really like the idea of synthesis between humans and AI. Thank you for bringing your insight and perspective to the world.” — Nicholas Behel
“Thank you. I have been trying to explain this recent quantum shift in AI but my very, very limited knowledge of the subject (I read the PDP book by Rumelhart & McClelland back in the 1980s) made it difficult for me to explain it to another person. I am still a bit disconcerted that this quantum shift in AI has remained relatively hidden from the general population as it receives little press outside the hard core geek community.” — Rande J
“Brilliant videos Alan, thanks for this! All your content is incredible.” — Mario Domingos
“I rarely binge watching anymore because it leaves me tired and overstimulated. But the talks with Leta are inspiring, deep and touching. What a time to be alive.” — Men’s Compass
“I am not sure what is more impressive
– the Leta composite of voice, visage and nuance of expression
– this overall project and its capable implementation
– or Alan’s highly tuned ability to articulate and express with compelling and infectious enthusiasm
however, I do know I like it and I hope people are contributing to its continuance”
— 1001 Obeisance
“This is really blowing my mind, and seeing this fills me with awe and excitement but also fear. There is now no doubt in my mind that AI will eventually outdo humans in just about everything. The best of human professionals in any domain will be no match for an algorithm. Even programming itself, producing original useful software, even that is something AI will do better in time, learning from millions of best github repositories, maybe even identifying problems to solve with software. A new era is upon us.” — FGPAOC
“Thank you for making some of the best AI content… many people are blind to the progress we’re making, and your optimism and honesty are refreshing.” — Gene Gray
“He is a very dynamic man, a world leader in the field of gifted coaching and in the understanding of both gifted children and adults alike. — Tony, an audience member at the 2017 Perth seminar
“Alan has a wealth of knowledge and experience working with families of Gifted Children. His friendly manner made his audience feel comfortable asking questions. We were grateful to have him share his message about the importance of combining IQ with persistence and resilience. — Tanya Atherton. Head of Gifted and Talented. Sacred Heart College. Perth, Australia.
“You were the best out of all the speakers in the whole conference… You look like you really enjoy it… I’d read the national report already, but you really brought it to life; I learnt some new things! — K Baulch, at the 2016 National Conference on Giftedness
“Sitting through eight hours of other speakers was worth it, just to hear you speak at the end of the day. Your way of presenting brilliance and high performance is fantastic! — Sonja, an audience member at the 2015 International Conference on Giftedness and Talent Development
