This is just factually incorrect. Logical reasoning, and not the "pretentious" reasoning that LLMs do today, is mathematically proven and, as a result, both predictable and explainable.

Ilya Sutskever, speaking at NeurIPS 2024, says reasoning will lead to "incredibly unpredictable" behavior and self-awareness will emerge in AI systems

Never thought this was a possibility. Thanks @Vincent_Ledvina @SNHWx @RyanJFrench for all the knowledge and guidance.

One of the greatest Indians to have ever lived.
Sir, you lived and led by example and built a legacy for generations to come. The world needs more people like you.

Thank you for everything. 🙏🏻

The #NobelPrizeinPhysics2024 for Hopfield & Hinton rewards plagiarism and incorrect attribution in computer science. It's mostly about Amari's "Hopfield network" and the "Boltzmann Machine."

1. The Lenz-Ising recurrent architecture with neuron-like elements was published in 1925 [L20][I24][I25]. In 1972, Shun-Ichi Amari made it adaptive such that it could learn to associate input patterns with output patterns by changing its connection weights [AMH1]. However, Amari is only briefly cited in the "Scientific Background to the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024." Unfortunately, Amari's net was later called the "Hopfield network." Hopfield republished it 10 years later [AMH2], without citing Amari, not even in later papers.

2. The related Boltzmann Machine paper by Ackley, Hinton, and Sejnowski (1985) [BM] was about learning internal representations in hidden units of neural networks (NNs) [S20]. It didn't cite the first working algorithm for deep learning of internal representations by Ivakhnenko & Lapa (Ukraine, 1965)[DEEP1-2][HIN]. It didn't cite Amari's separate work (1967-68)[GD1-2] on learning internal representations in deep NNs end-to-end through stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Not even the later surveys by the authors [S20][DL3][DLP] nor the "Scientific Background to the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024" mention these origins of deep learning. ([BM] also did not cite relevant prior work by Sherrington & Kirkpatrick [SK75] & Glauber [G63].)

3. The Nobel Committee also lauds Hinton et al.'s 2006 method for layer-wise pretraining of deep NNs (2006) [UN4]. However, this work neither cited the original layer-wise training of deep NNs by Ivakhnenko & Lapa (1965)[DEEP1-2] nor the original work on unsupervised pretraining of deep NNs (1991) [UN0-1][DLP].

4. The "Popular information" says: “At the end of the 1960s, some discouraging theoretical results caused many researchers to suspect that these neural networks would never be of any real use." However, deep learning research was obviously alive and kicking in the 1960s-70s, especially outside of the Anglosphere [DEEP1-2][GD1-3][CNN1][DL1-2][DLP][DLH].

5. Many additional cases of plagiarism and incorrect attribution can be found in the following reference [DLP], which also contains the other references above. One can start with Sec. 3:

It is truly unfathomable how this kid would come from a country with no chess culture and not only become World Champion, but inspire generations of Indian kids to push chess forward. The legend, @vishy64theking! Huge congratulations to India for winning the @ChessOlympiad!

[Kaustuv Mukherji @theKaustuv]

The journey that began with one man @vishy64theking , has now come full circle 🥹

22nd September, 2024 is a red letter day for Indian Chess - this is one of the biggest moments in Indian Chess History. Team India wins Double Gold medals in the Chess Olympiad 2024! The Indian Open and Women's Team both secured Team Gold medals, with many more Individual Board medals to come.

Team India (Open) needed just a draw today for Team Gold, but they defeated Slovenia 3.5-0.5 anyway. Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Arjun scored wins on the top 3 boards, and Vidit had a long and fighting draw on board 4. The Indian Open Team secured first place with a whopping 21/22 Match points!

Team India (Women) had to win against Azerbaijan today, and they delivered with full force. Harika, Divya and Vantika won, while Vaishali drew her game. India defeated Azerbaijan 3.5-0.5! If Kazakhstan won against the USA today, there would've been tiebreaks involved - but that match ended in a draw. The Indian Women's Team secured first place with 19/22 match points!

A huge congratulations to all the players, coaches and the entire team involved. What a day!
