Google's Paige Bailey says the industry is rediscovering tiny, cheap, single- or few-purpose classification models like Jev, which she says the team was already pursuing. She frames it as vindication, with a lighthearted tone. The quoted post from Russ Salakhutdinov jokes that senior researchers often claim to have invented new AI ideas years earlier.

Fun fact about (some) AI researchers / academics: the more senior you get, the more convinced you become that every new AI idea is something you already invented 20 years ago. Or, even better: wait until something actually works and then try convincing everyone that this is exactly what you’ve been saying all along. I was at a conference where a speaker was presenting their research. One academic stood up and said: what you’re doing is actually something I did a few years ago. The speaker was very polite and said thank you for pointing this out. Then a second researcher stood up and said, well I already did it this 10 years ago, you should cite my work. Then a third person said, I already did all of this about 20 years ago. It was the funniest thing ever.View quoted post on X
