LeCun, who previously served as Meta's chief AI scientist, didn't mince words. "xAI is kind of a failure, frankly, because the founding team has" departed, he said,...
You shouldn’t respect anyone’s opinion: you hear the opinion and judge the contents on it’s own merit. Everyone you respect will have the odd terrible take, and people you loathe will periodically have a banger thought.
A ton of Dawkins fan boys are huffing copium since the man decided Claude is conscious (and for some incelly reason a woman). A lot of MAGA asshats are trying to torch data centers.
If you offload your own critical evaluation of ideas merely to an adjudication of the speaker… honestly I hear it no differently than “because chatGPT said”.
This is just the laziest ad homium. Tell me, what do you think about the content? I am genuinely curious, and that analysis is 1000x more valuable.
He worked there for 12 years and left just over 1 year ago. It has been abundantly apparent what kind of company Facebook/Meta is for a very long time and he has no excuse.
It’s not like meta is doing a literal holocaust. Given a good salary i’d work for them. For this guy his time at meta prolly enabled him to be more public with a rather anti corpo position. I can understand that move.
Their leadership actually made substantial contribution to enabling the Rohingya genocide.
Sure they weren’t the ones burning families alive in their houses.
But IMO knowingly focusing on avoiding and limiting responsibility instead of immediately working on resolving the role of FB in the Rohingya genocide, has a level of equivalency.
This is just one example. There are many others spanning a range of areas in including fraud enablement, user harm
Btw, I am not saying I would judge everyone who works at FB. Although I feel there would be few exceptions for anyone in a somewhat senior position or above (be it an a technical or business type position).
Great, but why would I respect the opinion of someone who works at Meta?

Apologies. I thought it was clear from context. Here are some examples of his bad judgement:

He doesn’t anymore
Yeah but the association is enough for some people. He probably doesn’t even use Arch Linux.
…I think people who use Linux are the exception???
