Eh, us professors care pretty deeply about the plagiarism she did. Intent or even knowledge of plagiarism isn't necessary for disciplinary action in plagiarism cases at major research universities. Any one of these examples would be enough for my university's academic integrity committee to rule that plagiarism occurred:

And in the case of a dissertation, plagiarism is an automatic expulsion and degree retraction from my university. At the PhD level, students certainly know that what Dr. Gay did is plagiarism (a good rule of thumb is that five sequential words, even with paraphrasing, without citing the source, is plagiarism), and that plagiarism is completely unacceptable.

I already know of a student who made the argument that their plagiarism wasn't as bad as Dr. Gay's, so because Dr. Gay wasn't penalized, they shouldn't be penalized. Had she not stepped down, that line of argument likely would have snowballed out of control. The professors I know think her comments to Congress were out of touch, but all of us had been livid that she and Harvard were saying that she didn't plagiarize--any professor who looks at those examples will tell you that she did.

Seconding. Kagi is the only one that was able to replace Google for me.

Most professors at the caliber of his institution don't teach undergraduates, or at least don't do so very frequently. If his workload is like most professors, his primary job is research, with mentoring PhD students and service to the department/college/field taking up the remainder of his time. Instructors and teaching professors are hired to teach undergraduate courses at major research universities. His Google Scholar shows he has still been publishing, so this was probably political:

Yeah, accurately simulating a single pyramidal neuron requires an eight-layer deep neural network:

I literally just said this to my wife last week. So far, the timeline of The Matrix has tracked, lol.

If I remember right, the reason why Mark has scholarly consensus as being written before John is that Mark is least theologically developed, which only really makes sense as evidence for that if you're starting from the position that the theological bits are later additions. I remember Q and M as evidence for Mark before Matthew or Luke, but is there any evidence that Mark was written before John that doesn't start with the position that more-developed theology is a later addition?

Why am I being downvoted for asking someone with a PhD in this topic a question about their expertise?

HGH can make people's ribcage grow, and it also makes you feel like a million bucks. Elon is likely taking HGH for funsies.
