  I found Yann LeCun's analysis of autonomous driving fascinating: https://twitter.com/...

  Oh, it's unfair for him to dismiss @GaryMarcus as not being an AI person. That's just like Descartes dismissing Fermat or Newton dismissing Leibniz because they were not formally schooled in mathematics. Why should DL people have a monopoly on the conversation?

  What's going on with @MetaAI's Chief AI Scientist @ylecun? And how new are his “new” ideas? [article subheading: “spoiler alert: not very"]

• @garymarcus Gary Marcus on x

  @ZDNET @TiernanRayTech This libels me, by claiming—falsely—that I have not published any AI work in peer review journals & at same time the substance is virtually identical to my 2012 & 2018 papers, not in any way original to @yLeCun; a thread summarizing some of the many similar…

  “The purely statistical approach is intractable. It's too much to ask for a world model to be completely probabilistic.” “Ultimately, there's going to be a more satisfying solution that do a better job of understanding the way the world works.” https://www.zdnet.com/...

  This part of the interview with LeCun is so painful, so olympically painful and abominable: (My next course with ~80 new, first-year #ComputerScience students starts in 3 weeks. I'll be very explicit and teach them what *not* to do in academic discourse or writing) https://twitte…

  I find it curious that LeCun leans toward “energy-based” architectures, yet he cites Lagrangians as the basis of Deep Learning. Aren't energy-based formulations a Hamiltonian perspective and not Lagrangian? @ylecun https://www.zdnet.com/...

• @dmonett Dagmar Monett on x

  I found explanations for LeCun's behavior in @Eric_Sadin's “The Silicolonization of the World” (2016/2018). See pic & translation. @ZDNET's interview only reinforces this and leaves him in a terrible position. The audacity... How LeCun refers to other academics and their work 😳 h…

  If you simply believe today's deep learning will scale to infinity, you would do well to consider the sage observations of a pioneer, Yann LeCun. // @ylecun // #AI #deeplearning #machinelearning #artificialintelligence https://twitter.com/...

  LeCun throws in the towel with current approaches. https://twitter.com/...

  Technologies almost always get invented by multiple people around the same time. AI is no different. But it does make it feel all the more inevitable.

• @ylecun Yann LeCun on x

  @mustafasuleymn I am always surprised by the incomprehensibly large number of people who believe the myth that human-level AI will be achieved through one key idea, by one group of people, in one lab/company, that will stay ahead of the pack for years. (and make trillions). It's …

• @intuitmachine Carlos E. Perez on x

  In summary, it's a good interview where you can get a glimpse of @ylecun thinking. I'm agreement with many of his ideas, except for the criticism of the language models. I suspect he hasn't read about “code-duality” yet.

• @garymarcus Gary Marcus on x

  just wow. @MetaAI's @ylecun retrenches to steals pretty much everything I have projected about limits of deep learning from last decade and then says I have never done anything. that is quite the market repositioning. https://twitter.com/...

• @benedictevans Benedict Evans on x

  @ylecun @mustafasuleymn This is a bit like the idea from the past that space travel would be invented by one solitary genius building a complete re-usable rocket ship by himself

  Also: There's no evidence that human-level AI will ever exist. https://twitter.com/...

• @jon_y_huang @jon_y_huang on x

  It's fascinating to hear a father of AI continue to hammer on the need for better observational learning (rather than only experiment) as the key to progress, which of course mirrors debates in biomedicine. The ladder to the moon analogy is great. https://www.zdnet.com/...
