@GaryMarcus @ylecun Convolutional networks: LeCun's profound early bet. CNNs weren't just an algorithm—they were a bridge between biological perception and computational vision.

Quick, which of these five ideas was originally due to @YLeCun?

The idea of convolutional neural networks
The idea that LLMs would not lead to AGI.
The idea that pure scaling would not get us to AGI?
The idea that commonsense and physical reasoning were crucial to AGI?
The idea

The statement is part of a discussion about the contributions of Yann LeCun to the development of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). It challenges the claim that LeCun was the first to add backpropagation to CNNs, which is a substantive engagement with the history and development of machine learning technologies. The tone is corrective and factual, aiming to clarify historical contributions.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not use harmful language and is focused on factual correction, adhering to the principle of doing no harm. [+1]
  2. 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 constructive criticism by addressing a factual claim without resorting to personal attacks, adhering to the principle of constructive dialogue. [+1]
  3. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    The statement implicitly acknowledges a perceived mistake in the historical account of CNN development, aligning with the principle of acknowledging and correcting mistakes. [+1]
