@RuthBarnett @verityharding @jeremyakahn Nah, normalise by population and we're looking great. Or even better, normalise by land mass..

@verityharding @jeremyakahn @FryRsquared On a more positive note, we're No 3 for investment in AI... just so long as you don't dwell on the delta between us and No 1.

Britain, we need to talk. Apparently we're among the least excited about AI, most concerned about personal data and discrimination and least likely to believe AI will profoundly impact our lives. Fine, our skepticism about absolutely everything has its uses and it's part of who we are. But what's concerning is most Brits said they don't know what products and services use AI. 1 in 3 said they don't have a good understanding of what AI even is.  Skepticism's one thing, but disengagement's another. If we don’t build it, we won’t own it. If we don't know how to use it, we won't influence how its applied. Sitting this whole thing out isn't actually one of the choices on the table here. (Also: what's driving the AI love in Indonesia??!) Data: Ipsos via the Stanford AI Index; H/T @EricNewcomer

Always enjoy discussing the big picture with @FryRsquared. We talked about the frontiers of computability, the nature of the mind, and why I’m optimistic that AI will help us understand the universe’s deepest mysteries. + this wraps up another season of the award-winning @GoogleDeepMind Podcast - huge congrats to the team!

Excited to announce a new show from my friends over at @GoalhangerHQ called  @RestIsScience - with @FryRsquared & @tweetsauce - exploring the ideas that shape our world: linktr.ee/therestisscien… Go check it out right now!

@JeffDean WOAH

Show happens to the egg if you add a lot of salt for the water

Today we're launching a major upgrade to the image generation capabilities of our Gemini 3 model. Gemini 3 Pro Image can generate an incredible array of realistic imagery, complex visuals, infographics and more. Here are some examples: Show me a chart of the solar system and annotate each planet with one interesting fact

🧪 New show alert: The Rest Is Science Hosted by @FryRsquared and @tweetsauce, it explores the biggest questions about reality - one idea at a time. Launching 25 November - linktr.ee/therestisscien…

@clinjar I dont think that graph says there's a 6% improvement. Its 6% of a standard deviation. Which is quite different..

Participants didn’t just feel better. They were measurably happier, less anxious, and less depressed. • Facebook users saw a 6% improvement in emotional well-being • Instagram users saw a 4% improvement And not only that...

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy." Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵

Congrats @jparkerholder, @shlomifruchter, & the Genie & Veo teams! If you are interested to know more, the latest episode of the @GoogleDeepMind Podcast with the brilliant @FryRsquared has just dropped, and is all about Genie 3 & its incredible potential: youtube.com/watch?v=n5x6yX…

@Lucy_Worsley If its any consolation I've spent many a dinner hearing at length about your endless list of enviable talents x

This is me, wishing family members would not spend the whole of dinnertime telling me how clever funny and interesting they think @FryRsquared is. *gashes teeth in jealous rage*

Good morning. Today is the second and final day of in-person voting at the Senate House. If you work in Cambridge or can travel there, it is your chance to make history by helping to choose our next Chancellor in the most democratic process to date. It is quick and easy to do, with a bit of dress-up involved (the University will provide a gown). Below are some of the individuals who have kindly and thoughtfully offered their public support for my campaign, endorsing the importance of enhancing academic excellence, protecting and promoting academic freedom and free speech, and improving funding for our Collegiate University. My deep thanks to them. Your voice matters and, whoever you vote for, it is important that you have your say over Cambridge’s future. Thank you. @Cambridge_Uni #cambridgechancellor #cambridgechancellor2025 #cambridge @QueensCam @RoryStewartUK @GordonBrown @FryRsquared @maitlis @ariannahuff @gilliantett @NBerggruen @LynnForester11 @Dambisamoyo @bryworthington @satyanadella @AndrewmitchMP @SimoneSchnall @DianeCoyle1859 @demishassabis @reidhoffman @bryworthington @CassSunstein

Many thanks to Professor Hannah Fry, Cambridge’s Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics and a Fellow of Queens’, for her kind and thoughtful words. #cambridge #cambridgechancellor @FryRsquared @Cambridge_Uni @QueensCam

@demishassabis Okay WOAH - that is incredible. Congrats!

Honoured to be on the #TIME100 list and cover - and congratulations to all the other people featured. Thank you to the brilliant Jennifer Doudna for the lovely writeup.

Human generated data has fueled incredible AI progress, but what comes next? 📈 On the latest episode of our podcast, @FryRsquared and David Silver, VP of Reinforcement Learning, talk about how we could move from the era of relying on human data to one where AI could learn for itself. Watch now → 00:00 Introduction 01:50 Era of experience 03:45 AlphaZero 10:19 Move 37 15:20 Reinforcement learning and human feedback 24:30 AlphaProof 29:50 Math Olympiads 35:00 Experience based methods 42:56 Hannah's reflections 44:00 Fan Hui joins

@Al_Humphreys YES! Although I think they had to programme it to be LESS random because loads of people were complaining that it didn't 'feel' random enough

@FryRsquared Does the Poisson Distribution explain why Spotify shuffle is so rubbish?

Obviously - since this is a Google Deepmind podcast - @nicklaslundblad is presenting one particular view. But I hope you'll see that I've tried to make this conversation as robust, fair and interesting a listen as possible. Would love to hear what you think

Who should decide the rules for Ai? I got to quiz Google Deepmind's director of public policy - @nicklaslundblad. youtu.be/eWuumlduTRg?si…

Congratulations @FryRsquared

We're delighted to welcome Professor Hannah Fry to Cambridge! Mathematician and award-winning science presenter @fryrsquared will join us as Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics @FacultyMaths, following an announcement @NewtonInstitute 👉 cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

Brand new episode hosted by @FryRsquared with @carolvorders and @PhilNWang tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer!

@demishassabis @NobelPrize Massive, massive congratulations Demis. This really is only the beginning..

Winning the @NobelPrize is the honour of a lifetime and the realisation of a lifelong dream - it still hasn’t really sunk in yet. With AlphaFold2 we cracked the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction: predicting the 3D structure of a protein purely from its amino acid sequence. Proteins are the building blocks of life, and knowing the structure of a protein is crucial for understanding the function it performs. We then folded all 200 million proteins known to science and made those structures freely available for anyone in the world to use, with the help of our wonderful collaborators at @emblebi. Over 2 million researchers have already used AlphaFold2 and its predictions to advance a huge range of important work - everything from enzyme design, to disease understanding, to drug discovery. But this is only the beginning. Over the next few years AI will help us make great strides towards developing new and more effective therapies for today's most prevalent diseases, and the fantastic team at @IsomorphicLabs are making rapid progress on this mission. I can’t think of a more important or beneficial use of AI. Then of course there is advancing AGI itself, the original and enduring goal, and the vision behind the founding of DeepMind nearly 15 years ago. If AI is built safely and responsibly, I believe it will be one of the most transformative and beneficial technologies ever. I’ve always thought of AI as the ultimate tool to help us accelerate scientific discovery. Congratulations to John Jumper (and David Baker!), the amazing AlphaFold team, and all our incredible colleagues at @GoogleDeepMind and @Google that supported and encouraged us along the way - this award is for all of us! It’s been such an honour and privilege to work with all of you to advance the frontiers of AI and science, and there is so much more to come!
