Imagine telling Yann LeCun what is and isn’t right when it comes to science
honestly LeCun should know better than to argue with a crazy person.
it doesn't matter how right he is, musk will turn everything around and have fun while doing it.
Yep. All he's achieving is by this is helping Twitter keep some of its legitimacy.
The point of arguing with morons online is not to convince the morons. It's to convince the spectators.
This particular moron is selling tickets to the venue he's using to argue with him tho...
I'm not convinced that has the effect you think it does.
To me it just makes LeCun look worse for engaging with him. His research stands on its own and I don't think convincing anyone of anything on xitter is going to have a worthwhile outcome for him.
I assume by "he" you mean LeCun
yep
thanks to melon tusk, i don't have to
The Musk likely knows who and what he himself is, even if only in the darkest and most sleepless hours of the night, but on the other hand, his followers eat this shit up like candy. "Survival of the fittest" - caveat: in the current climate, or rather the one from the last few decades - has led to him being put in charge of way more than he should, in the same manner that a cockroach is "fitter" than humans since they will outlast our having caused WWIII (unless we make it to space, which seems increasingly unlikely at this point, at least within any of our current lifetimes).
Anyway, it is important to remember that he does not do this for reason of mere stupidity - he literally gets paid to dish out this kind of shade.
Edit: case in point, the fact that we are discussing this now, and also the title of this post. If Elon had said "I respect you", that would have been the end of the matter right there, but it would not have met his goals (or apparently, ours either).
Who he?
Neural networks, OCR, called one of the "godfathers of deep learning", etc, etc.
He's a brilliant, well known scientist.
