Ok so good morning everyone. I'll just get started.
My name is Shailesh and I give these talks almost every year so this is a very
deja-vu feeling for me. The only thing different this time is the stage is
slightly thinner. But great crowd. Great list of talks so far.
So, Daniel called me a couple of weeks ago and said, 'Why don't you give a
keynote again?' And I said, 'You know, I'm running out of things to say now.' I've
given four talks at different forums with The Fifth Elephant and I wasn't so sure
what I want to talk about. So, then one of these days I was talking to one of my
non-geek friends and he was very excited about what I do
he was very excited about what I do.. so he said: what do you do
and I.. you know.. it was on the phone and I started talking to him about this ??? and the other
and for about 45 minutes I was rambling and this guy was very quiet.
I didn't realize that uh.. he wasn't ???? and uh
I was going on and on
and after 45 minutes I stopped and said are you still there
are you listening
and he said yeah I'm listening uh
can you tell me what do you do again
and then I realized
you know.. how do I summarize this in 2 words
so then I told him.. I'm building thinking machines
and that's when he said why didn't you say that before
it was so easy to say that, right?
so that's how the title came by
and.. obviously we're not building thinking machines
what I'm gonna talk about this towards thinking machines, right
so.. we have a long way to go
so???????
what I'm gonna talk about is
I'm gonna talk about philosophy, science fiction,
I'll talk about algorithms
and I'm gonna talk about.. you know, deep learning and how to think about things beyond deep learning
alright
so let me tell you a perspective and then we'll start
so I'll take questions at the end..
start working this
alright, so
I ended
