New preprint! 🤓 "Backward Oversmoothing: why is it hard to train deep Graph Neural Networks?" GNNs could learn to anti-oversmooth. But they generally don't. Why is that? We uncover many interesting stuff 🤔 1/7 arxiv.org/abs/2505.16736

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)
NeurIPS participation in Europe

"generative AI knows no bounds, it will unleash creativity on a scale never seen before 🤩" *copies over and over whatever trend the CEO of a multibillion dollar company say is cool*
Know that if you work or interact with OpenAI in any way, shape or form, I have nothing but utter contempt for you right now. Utter contempt.
Mind you, OpenAI could have advertised their new product without being insulting dipshits. They *chose* not to
OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait. Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.
OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself
Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.

Miyazaki is famous for saying that genAI "is an insult to life itself". I feel like this is some kind of petty revenge on him by the worst people on earth™
I sincerely hope studio Ghibli sues openAI into oblivion. I've never feel more enraged to watch something I deeply love and admire being stolen and dunk upon by soulless ghouls like this
