alt Hacker NewsIt's crazy to think that if Elon Musk hadn't mentioned Schmidhuber, most people would have no idea.
It's nauseating how all the researchers who happened to work for big tech got tons of media coverage but Schmidhuber and his team were getting zero coverage yet they made massive contributions. I bet there are many others not mentioned.
Nobody even knows about Frank Rosenblatt. It's insane how distorted our perception of innovation is.
Even science has been corrupted. It makes one doubt every story we're told about who invented what.

Very Trump-like statement - "Not many people know this, but ...". Yes, I lot of people know this. Any class that even says a little about the history of NNs will talk about Rosenblatt and the Perceptron.
Yes, Rosenblatt is another good example. I recently looked deeper into the development of the perceptron and it's absolutely fascinating.
