And its understandable that people who are in a rush to deploy these methods dismiss other ideas as cults or ineffective, because the breadth of what you need to know to be a true expert in ML is pretty intimidating.

Diversity of Views in Early Machine Learning Community
By
–
Have multiple views on the world often helps us understand. That was beauty of the early ML community a broad mix of views. Of course it’s unsurprising that when one method is successful people double down on it.

Gaussian Processes Simpler Mathematics Than Neural Networks
By
–
That’s helpful because GPs are mathematically much simpler than NNs (but algorithmically more complex for large data).

Gaussian Processes Explain Modern Neural Networks Generalization Behavior
By
–
GPs also give insights on why modern (very large) NNs behave like they do e.g the reason they generalise seems closer to non parametric approaches like GPs than traditional NN generalisation understanding from 1990s.

Chris’s Inspiration Expands GP Community Despite NN Growth
By
–
The point being that Chris inspired me (and many others). So he did his job. That means GP community today is larger than it’s ever been. It’s just that NN community grew even more. But both are GPs and NNs are successful.

AISI’s role and multiple strategic pivots questioned
By

My understanding is/was that AISI is not a policy making body. Although it's pivoted more times than a folding ruler so that may have changed.

And yet they ensured their open source ecosystem is supported. Policy isn’t just legislation.
