Entitled to his view but would appear a bit of a pattern or flavour of the month with this guy.

From this year's WAICF...not neuromorphic this time but something else bothering him.

Guess all those other Intel to Tata to Sony to Renesas to MegaChips to Universities to ESA etc should realise they are wasting time and resources hey.

Yann LeCun on display

Meta’s Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun was in fine form this year and continued his annual challenge of the norms of the current state of the AI industry. This year, he attacked the current state of machine learning, auto-regressive models, and the EU AI, act among many other things.

He commanded a full house across two stages with attendees hoping to catch a glimpse of one of AI’s godfathers.

A particular highlight was the combative panel discussion where he appeared on stage with Mark Brakel from the Future of Life Institute – the group that called for a six-month pause in advanMeta's Yann LeCunced AI development − which made for memorable encounters and arguments about human cloning, nuclear weapons and the dangers of kitchen knives, of all things.

From claims of wanting to generate AI and that the current state of machine learning “sucks,” the 2024 edition of LeCun in Cannes did not disappoint.

The only absence, however, was the baying mob of developers, hoping to talk to the Turing award winner, which was discouraged this year. The stage chair said LeCun’s 2023 keynote was the closest he had ever seen to a post-speech riot at an AI conference.

There’s always next year though.
