Some big names signed there. Sounds like a death sentence for this journal, despite the prestigious pedigree. Either it will wither or become a second-rate trashcan.
- _delirium 9y agoI do notice no Google names, though. Google has tended to favor Nature in the past, e.g. AlphaGo went there instead of to an open-access ML journal. Of course regular Nature has an established level of prestige that this new Nature spinoff doesn't yet. So it'll be interesting to see which way they go on it.
- nabla9 9y agoIan Goodfellow just signed it and there are 4 others. (I hope Dietterich verifies the authenticity of these singatures. Someone could just add these as a prank.)
- ericjang 9y agoThere is at least one Google researcher on that list (and various academic professors on that list are employed by Google as consultants).
- hardmaru 9y agoI signed it.
- rossdavidh 9y agoIt will be interesting to see if Geoffrey Hinton signs.
- esue-isa 9y agoMr Hinton for sure sign this before people prepare statement :]
- agi_is_coming 9y agoHis page mentions that he's not working currently due to personal reasons, so you might not see his signature. http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton
