Note how the titles of his recent papers are all “<popular AI technique> is a special case of <thing I published in the 90s>”
And you should see the assholes that the uncensored image generators contribute!
There’s some serious bad blood in the AI academic world between the old farts that toiled thanklessly all through the thirty years of the AI winter, proving all sorts of fundamental theorems, only to get steam rolled by (relative) newcomers with big tech backing the very second tech started catching up to the math. Things got pretty heated with accusations of academic malpractice, and generic assholery.
Yann is one of the main participants in this drama. The other is a Swiss professor that is about equally friendly.
Every accusation is a confession.
It’s a cool car.
Insecure mofos gonna whine. Let them.
I look up the candidates/parties on their respective web sites and check out their positions.
Amazing, I know.
Yann LeCunn is, in a very real sense, a prime example of everything that is wrong with AI research.

Don’t be sorry, it’s the best news I’ve heard all decade!
The maddening thing is that you know the economic consequences would be easier to deal with a bit of solidarity, but we’re not going to.

Call me when the global birth rate is falling. Until then it’s a local problem.

Hot take: It’s what old farts used to use back in the day.
These days you should just use encrypting file systems with per-file keying (like eg APFS) and stop worrying about deletion leaving file data around.
I agree with your general point about the economics of hobbies, but I’m not sure it applies here.
If you are sensible about it gaming is, in real buck-per-hour prices, one of the cheapest forms of entertainment available.
I had some serious demographic questions to get to 1/3. 26% sounds way more reasonable.
There are lots of hard working bright people that are literally dying to come work and live in your country. This is not a population problem. It’s a racism problem.
Are there any non-crappy ways to tie SSH into a single sign on flow yet?
I’m over managing users per application and typing in passwords.
I am shocked, shocked, that the guy hand picked by right wing extremist lobby groups to represent their views on the Supreme Court is a hard right wing extremist.
Shocked.
On iOS in light mode, the status bar/clock/signal/battery indicator is white on and off white background in the main screens.
This is not ideal because I lose track of time and people yell at me.
