Bengio is basically telling people he trained and who trained on his findings to quit their jobs. He is neither an effective altruist nor part of the rationalist cult often discussed on here. He is a mainstream deep learning researcher. And he’s sounding an alarm.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?

As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.
