This was my last day as a student researcher at DeepMind. It was everything I dreamt of and more. I am grateful to my inimitable mentors Kevin Miller and @neurokim.bsky.social and to the many colleagues who became friends. If I keep getting this lucky, I just can't wait to see what's next.

I mean this in an amused rather than a bitter tone but: Friend at neurips shared how awkward it is for him when someone angles to check your badge to see if 'you're someone'—and you catch their instant excitement or sometimes, the selective disappointment. Welcome to what women experience every day.

Ilya Sutskever's Test of Time talk:

1. Pretraining is dead. The internet has run out of data.

2. What's next? Agents, synthetic data, inference-time compute

3. What's next long term? Superintelligence, reasoning, understanding, self-awareness, and we can't predict what's gonna happen.
