@WaywardWestern1 @elonmusk @ylecun right, but the point I was making is that he tried to tilt their conversation unfairly into his own territory and wildly overvalued journal publications relative to other kinds of contributions in order to make himself look important.

Congratulations, @elonmusk, on Starship’s successful There and Back Again!

You will not be forgotten, regardless of what certain myopic ML experts named @Ylecun might have implied.

You don’t need to publish to the change the world.

The statement and the preceding conversation involve a discussion about the contributions and recognition of public figures in the field of technology and space exploration. The tone is somewhat contentious, with elements of both praise and criticism. The conversation touches on public recognition, the value of different types of contributions, and the importance of giving credit where it is due.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement and conversation do not appear to cause harm directly. However, the initial comment by Gary Marcus could be seen as dismissive of Yann LeCun's perspective, which might indirectly cause harm by fostering a divisive tone.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The conversation respects the privacy of the individuals involved, as it focuses on their public contributions and opinions rather than personal details. However, the use of terms like 'myopic' could be seen as disrespectful to Yann LeCun's dignity.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The conversation promotes understanding to some extent by discussing the value of different types of contributions. However, the tone could be more empathetic and compassionate, especially in addressing disagreements.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The conversation involves constructive criticism but also includes personal attacks, such as calling someone 'myopic.' This detracts from a respectful and productive dialogue.
