Prediction: no AGI will ever come out of deep learning.

It's not just scaling and LLMs that are dead ends. LeCun's JEPA is also a dead end.

Heck, let me be the first to say it. LeCun's main love, self-supervised learning, is a dead end, too. In fact, all deep learning

Wow. Just wow.

@ylecun taking credit for my March 2022 argument that scaling would hit a wall and that LLM would not bring us to AGI--after he initially attacked me for saying it and continued to promote them right up until ChatGPT ate has lunch--has to among the most

The statement is a personal attack rather than a substantive critique of ideas. It dismisses LeCun's work by attributing his motivations to self-love, which detracts from constructive discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement could be seen as harmful by reducing the discourse to personal attacks rather than focusing on the ideas. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It does not respect the dignity of the individual by making a personal attack. [-1]
  3. 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 and instead resorts to an ad hominem argument. [-2]
