After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

I totally understand that feeling!

I lost my brother to cancer.

I was with him when he was told his diagnosis - a moment I will never forget. Throughout, the NHS respected and cared for him.

When he passed away, it hit me like a bus - even though I knew it was coming.

I'm determined that every person diagnosed with cancer gets the best possible chance of beating it.

Our National Cancer Plan is the most ambitious in a generation. It means earlier diagnosis, slashing waiting lists and investing in cutting-edge technology to build an NHS fit for the future.

Distillation has been on the news (!) due to @deepseek_ai. The paper https://t.co/fRbFdfoHT1 was actually rejected from NeurIPS 2014 due to lack of novelty 🧐 (true-ish), and lack of impact 🙃.

Thanks reviewer#2 (literally), and thanks for @arxiv!

Interesting! Probably it is a consequence of the cold war

[Jürgen Schmidhuber @SchmidhuberAI]

The #NobelPrize in Physics 2024 for Hopfield & Hinton turns out to be a Nobel Prize for plagiarism. They republished methodologies developed in #Ukraine and #Japan by Ivakhnenko and Amari in the 1960s & 1970s, as well as other techniques, without citing the original inventors. None of the important algorithms for modern AI were created by Hopfield & Hinton.

Today I am releasing a detailed tech report on this [NOB]: https://t.co/u9YxfBuqNf

Of course, I had it checked by neural network pioneers and AI experts to make sure it was unassailable.

Is it now acceptable for me to direct young Ph.D. students to read old papers and rewrite and resubmit them as if they were their own works? Whatever the intention, this award says that, yes, that is perfectly fine.

Some people have lost their titles or jobs due to plagiarism, e.g., Harvard's former president [PLAG7]. But after this Nobel Prize, how can advisors now continue to tell their students that they should avoid plagiarism at all costs?

It is well known that plagiarism can be either "unintentional" or "intentional or reckless" [PLAG1-6], and the more innocent of the two may very well be partially the case here. But science has a well-established way of dealing with "multiple discovery" and plagiarism - be it unintentional [PLAG1-6][CONN21] or not [FAKE,FAKE2] - based on facts such as time stamps of publications and patents. The deontology of science requires that unintentional plagiarists correct their publications through errata and then credit the original sources properly in the future. The awardees didn't; instead the awardees kept collecting citations for inventions of other researchers [NOB][DLP]. Doesn't this behaviour turn even unintentional plagiarism [PLAG1-6] into an intentional form [FAKE2]?

I am really concerned about the message this sends to all these young students out there.

Incredibly cool work by my friend and compatriot @PetarV_93 ! TacticAI uses GNNs & Geometric deep learning to make tactical suggestions for the corner kicks and it turns out those suggestions (compared to real corners from previous games) are favored by football experts 90% of the time! 😱

Developed in collaboration with Liverpool FC. I saw Petar visiting Liverpool and working on this while I was still at DeepMind and knew this is going to be uber cool work.

When computer games become too easy there is always the real-world! :)

Congrats!
