TwitterBoy showing his blatant ignorance against one of the people who literally invented modern machine learning.
Nothing shockingly unexpected from the very stable 10D chess master genius of course, but oh my, how embarrassing it must be for all the people working for him.
It’s the same whenever he gets shown up.
“I’ll save those schoolboys with my robot submarine!”
*submarine won’t fit in cave*
*schoolboys are rescued by a diver*
“Pedo guy…”
I’m sure he can be forgiven for not knowing the name of a scientist whose work his employees build upon
The fact that he didn’t believe them when they claimed to be a scientist though
I wonder if Elon chose a timeframe of 5 years because Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018.
I don’t think he deserves that much credit
The Internet as a whole seems a lot less interested in actually listening to anyone with credentials to back themselves up (Musk obviously included).
Literally, people will just “nuh-uh” a piece of fact for purely emotional personal reasons.Maybe it’s that we made the Internet so full of disinformation that everyone is just automatically refusing to listen to others, maybe we have created a social group that just assumes they are more educated than everyone else cause they read some stuff in the internet.
Maybe all the smarter people with credentials have done the smart thing and left the internet, cause if I hear one more person tell me I’m wrong and that people totally explode in the vacuum of space cause they watched a movie. (Someone even called me confidently incorrect after I provided the research paper I cited when working on decompression in a vacuum), I honestly will think humanity has no right to claim themselves master of any part of nature and I will praise the universe for wiping us out hopefully Armageddon style, with an asteroid with a bunch of oil drillers on it.
Honestly why do people even engage with this hack.
To attempt to wake up those people who think Elon is actually God’s gift of mankind.
What does you’re going soft, try harder even mean in this case? I think that’s a troll, right? Right? I mean, even one solid theory from a paper can change the course of an industry. How do people think things work? I feel dizzy reading this whole exchange
I’m just imagining Musk banning his account once he realizes how much he just embarrassed himself.
Followed by:
Lawyer: What brings you in today, Mr. LeCun?
LeCun: I got banned from Twitter.
Lawyer: But I’m a patent attorney.
LeCun: I know.Beastie Boys “Sabotage” riff starts playing.
Elon is such a fucking tool
I strongly disagree with that statement… tools are useful.
These types of people really need to stop being a part of the problem by getting off Twitter.
I never really used Twitter, but I’d start using Mastodon, if only to get people to start using Mastodon?
