Big Youtuber, Siraj Raval, Copied an Academic Quantum Computing Paper & Claimed He Wrote it! LOL

Ah, this takes me back to my university days.. Except, I never copied someone's paper... Unlike Siral Raval, who currently has over 600,000 Youtube Subscribers.

This guy has been a slightly annoying Youtube personality covering computing topics and generally acting like a strangely photogenic geek. It appears he did well through a combination of quality video editing and being a rare character who claims to combine scientific knowledge with being a 'TV Personality'. In truth, though, it seems he is just as fake as so many others.
I do remember seeing a previous video from him and feeling a bit nausious and now I know more about why. This excellent video has Siraj's followers constantly giving him massive thumbs down on Youtube - the equivalent of having wrotten vegetables thrown at you in the street back in 'the day'. Why?

Siraj produced videos where he claimed he had published a scientific paper on AI - despite not being highly qualified. It tuns out, however, that he literally took an AI paper from an entire team of experts and then changed a few words here and there - including changing 'we' to 'I' over and over again. He didn't even bother changing the graphical diagrams!

To take the biscuit, when he was exposed he tried to claim that he was just 'busy' and working to a deadline - so he, you know, just pretended to write a scientific paper that he didn't write - haha. I don't like it when people throw around psychological diagnoses online because usually they are unfounded, but I think in this case I can at least say he appears to be a pathalogical liar. Anyone injoy! What 'fame' will do to a brain.. Let's hope we don't have AI powered robots walking around that are equally vapid..

Wishing you well,
Ura Soul

It is so sad that people have to take credit for some one else's work. Thanks for exposing him.
