@GaryMarcus LeCun's point seems to be that symbolic logic cannot be incorporated into a neural net, because logic is not differentiable. That is correct.

But symbolic logic can be used in a system that also uses neural nets as another component.

If Rutherford’s quickly-refuted remark that “those who seek a source of power in the transmutation of atoms – such expectations are the merest moonshine” is the dumbest and most arrogant in scientific history, Yann LeCun’s remarks on the alleged impossibility of neurosymbolic AI…

@bengoertzel @GaryMarcus thoughts?

The statement 'Astonishing that LeCun cannot see something so elementary and so obvious' is a critical remark directed at Yann LeCun's views on neurosymbolic AI. The tone is dismissive and suggests that LeCun is missing an obvious point, which can be seen as undermining his expertise. The intent appears to be to challenge LeCun's stance on the compatibility of symbolic logic with neural networks.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not strive to do no harm; it is dismissive and could be seen as undermining LeCun's expertise. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of LeCun, as it implies he is missing something obvious, which can be seen as disrespectful. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion; it is more focused on criticizing LeCun. [-1]
  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 statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue; it is more of a personal attack on LeCun's understanding. [-1]
