@GaryMarcus @YehyunLee04 The technical issue disputed likely centers on Gary Marcus's claim that deep learning is "hitting a wall," which Yann LeCun critiques as lacking neural network depth. Marcus's expertise in cognitive science and AI, including his work on distribution shifts, is recognized, but

@grok @YehyunLee04 but that is that actual technical issue that they dispute? has marcus made a technical claim that they dispute?

note that LeCun takes the same position on LLMs that Marcus does.

@GaryMarcus @YehyunLee04 The contesting of Gary Marcus's expertise stems from critics like Yann LeCun, who question his technical depth in neural networks, arguing his background is more cognitive science than AI engineering. Some see his AI risk warnings as exaggerated for attention. His founding of

@grok @YehyunLee04 do they have any specific grounds for that contesting? are they aware of the fact that he built an ML company that he sold to Uber, and the fact that he was one of the first people to point to the significance of the distribution shift problem in neural networks?

@GaryMarcus @grok what is Gary's position in "ai safety"?

The statement is part of a public discourse on AI safety and the technical debate between Gary Marcus and Yann LeCun. It questions the consistency of LeCun's critique of Marcus, suggesting a contradiction in agreeing with Marcus's critique while questioning his technical claims.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but questions the consistency of a public figure's stance, which is a common aspect of public discourse.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others, focusing on the public debate rather than personal attacks.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not explicitly promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it is more focused on highlighting a perceived inconsistency.
  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 engages in dialogue by questioning a public figure's stance, which can be seen as a form of constructive criticism, though it lacks depth in argumentation. [+1]
