woah it sounds like hes talking to an ai

[@danielmead146]

yann is the first AI person i've seen that actually has it right. too many people on lex and other podcasts have a financial incentive to talk up their LLM products. he's right. they are doomed. AGI might come someday, but this isn't it.

[@lucacarey9366]

I’m a layman but I’m unsure about this argument that ai is inefficient compared to the human brain. If I could write a masterful essay and paint a beautiful picture in under a minute my brain would require a lot more energy.

[@StuartJ]

It's the training that uses up a lot of power. Racks of GPUs maxed out for months. More than your brain would ever consume in a lifetime. But a single query doesn't use so much.

[@ogapadoga2]

AGI is not possible using computers or any silicon based technologies.

[@bingbong586]

What about quantum computers

[@ogapadoga2]

@@bingbong586 We think computers and computing are the way to go because that is what we have now. But it is a outdated concept from the 1800s.

[@greengoblin9567]

LeCun is way too honest. He is single-handedly making investors lose interest in Meta by saying things like he doesn't have his JEPA systems working well yet. Also, he doesn't seem like a real nice guy, by saying that LLMs can never get to AGI just to create drama. You can see he is smiling when he is saying this.

[@esquire9445]

Llms aren’t thinking… they are pattern matching through graphs. No, that’s not agi

[@AutitsicDysexlia]

Yeah, that's not drama. That's just a fact. I'm a data scientist, so I can say with confidence that even a sufficiently large LLM, *alone,* is never going to *poof* and AGI. It's not built like that.

[@greengoblin9567]

@@AutitsicDysexlia I’m not arguing that LLMs will lead to AGI. I am saying that LeCun isn’t a chill dude. You misunderstood what I was saying.

[@akash.deblanq]

You might be a "chill dude" but you probably are working in a 9-5 you don't want to work in & have very close to 40IQ @@greengoblin9567

[@rolletroll2338]

So basically he's not a nice guy because... He disagrees about a technical subject that everyone seems to fantasize about.
