“Doomerism wasn’t new, but Hinton—who won the Turing Award, the top prize in computing science, in 2018—brought new credibility to a position that many of his peers once considered kooky.”
In this sentence I take issue with the words ‘once considered’, suggesting past-tense. My position is that the present tense, ‘consider’, is still more applicable.
The word ‘kooky’ appears very fitting in this context though.
