LeCun has already proved himself and made his mark and is now in a lucky position where he can focus on very long term goals that won't pay off for a long time (or ever). I feel like that is the best path someone like him could take.
why do you say it is garbage ? I watched some of its videos on YT and it looks interesting. I can't judge if it's good or really good, but that didn't sound like garbage at all.
I have no idea why this fair assessment of the status quo is being downvoted.
LeCun hasn't produced anything noteworthy in the past decade.
He uses the same slides in all of his presentations.
LLMs, while not yet AGI, have shown tremendous progress, and are actually useful for 99% of use cases for the average person.
The remaining 1% is for deep research into the deep unknown (physics, chemistry, genetics, diseases, the nature of intelligence itself), an area in which they falter.
Cool, and how many billions has he flushed down the toiled for his failed Metaverse and currently failing AI attempts? Rich doesn't mean smart, you realise this right?
No doubt his pitch deck will be the same garbage slides he’s been peddling in every talk since the 2010’s.
