Yann LeCun@ylecun

To be clear: there should not be a president of AI (let alone me 😅). Which is pretty much one point I make in the video. This reminder is about the content of the video, which is 3 years old, but every more relevant.

@ylecun "reminder" hits different now that you left meta, raised a billion for world models, and your whole thesis is everyone chasing LLMs is wrong. Either the last sane researcher or the guy who bet against the most successful paradigm in history no in between

@ylecun Do you have a god complex? Why did you repost a 3 year old post calling for you to be president of AI? A lot has happened in 3 years and you haven't had much to do with it..

@ylecun anthropic calls for a global pause and this drops the next day. the cycle is fully automated at this point

@JosephJacks_ Which part? I don't want to be president of AI. But I stand by my statements in this video. (in which I basically say that there should not be a president of AI 😅)

@ylecun It is mistake to interpret this as desire for domination. It is better understood as an emergent behavior arising in the pursuit of goal.

@ylecun I like your optimism. Also, I really enjoyed the series of videos about JEPA by @welchlabs
