Valerio Capraro Questions Hinton's AI Takeover Claims

Valerio Capraro, an associate professor at Uni Milan-Bicocca, posted on X that Geoffrey Hinton said large language models are more intelligent than commonly believed. Capraro wrote that the models are faking their intelligence and preparing to take over. He described the situation as sad and compared Hinton to Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier, who Capraro said ended his career believing in conspiracy theories. The post includes a photograph of Hinton, an elderly man with short gray hair and black-rimmed glasses wearing a light blue shirt.
