  1. Pretty much the impression I'm getting. The guy is clearly obsessing about some life-long grudges of his own, has a big ego, finds himself very entertaining and smart, and is fond of just rambling on and on about episodes from his past (mostly names of "famous" people he interacted with).. like many old people do. Add to it that he was dead wrong about the prospects of neural networks success. Add to it his associations with people like Gates and Epstein. Not a very likable character at all. Seems like the most joy he has in deriding others.

  4. The usual (and sensible) stance is that asking questions that inevitably recursively generate new questions (like who created the creator) is a waste of time/energy.

  5. Nuclear meltdown.

  6. He seems like quite a conceited guy. I think what we learn about the brain from his lectures is that we should not trust the old ones too much.
