I’m delighted beyond words to receive the 2025 @royalsociety Faraday Prize and Lecture. The Faraday name has real resonance for me-not least after giving the @Ri_Science Christmas Lectures in 2023. And look at the previous recipients 😮🙂

Google may have built a gravity well – capex, custom silicon, and distribution bending the field. I feel the same leap with Gemini 3 that @Benioff describes. Is that game over for competitors? Only if you believe in a “God Model.” You don’t beat mass with more mass– you escape

Holy shit. I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back. The leap is insane — reasoning, speed, images, video… everything is sharper and faster. It feels like the world just changed, again. ❤️ 🤖

I crossed an interesting threshold yesterday, which I think many other mathematicians have been crossing recently as well. In the middle of trying to prove a result, I identified a statement that looked true and that would, if true, be useful to me. 1/3

Its quite astonishing how my time line went from "AGI tomorrow, what do we do?" to "When is the bubble going to burst?" in such a short order! AI may be the only tech that went from "will kill y'all" to "will kill y'all's wealth" in a jiffy..

Do you have a PhD (or equivalent) or will have one in the coming months (i.e. 2-3 months away from graduating)? Do you want to help build open-ended agents that help humans do humans things better, rather than replace them? We're hiring 1-2 Research Scientists! Check the 🧵👇
