Скачать или смотреть Rebels of Reason - AI’s Real Architects | John Willis Interview

At DevOps days Austin I sat down with my buddy John Willis to learn about his upcoming book -- Rebels of Reason: The Long Road from Aristotle to ChatGPT. What started as a curiosity about PyTorch and its creator, led John down a rabbit hole of brilliant, unconventional minds who laid the foundations for modern AI. Inspired by Michael Lewis’s storytelling, Willis traces decades of intellectual rebellion to show AI’s emergence as a new form of cognition—one that calls for philosophical understanding, not just AGI hype.
