Friendly reminder, Hinton is the same guy who told us this: 'We should stop training radiologists now. It's just completely obvious that within five years, deep learning is going to do better than rad

I love Geoff. But he understands even less than Dario about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Again, don't listen to AI scientists, as brilliant as they might be, and even

Yann LeCun was right the entire time. And generative AI might be a dead end. For the last three years, the entire industry has been obsessed with building bigger LLMs. Trillions of parameters. Billion

“AI skeptic” v “AI cynic” is going to be an important distinction in the next few years, IMO. I am not a skeptic about AI abilities but I am cynical about the incentives CEOs have to say wildly bombas

这可能是今年AI圈最清醒的一条推文， Yann LeCun 是当今 AI 领域最有影响力的科学家之一，深度学习三大教父之一，2018 年图灵奖获得者， 他直接怼了Anthropic CEO Dario的著名言论， Dario说未来一到五年，一半的科技法律咨询金融岗位会被彻底干掉。 LeCun说你错了，而且不仅Dario错了，所有的AI实验室CEO 和一众大佬包括Sam Altman，Yoshua

Yann LeCun argues that the normalized exponential function exp(x)/sum(exp(x)) should be called 'softargmax' rather than 'softmax,' as it represents a soft approximation of the argmax operation rather

The tensor engine was first implemented inside SN3 (before it was called Lush) in 1992 at Bell Labs by Léon Bottom and me. The naming convention has survived to this day in PyTorch and other libraries
