- skrebbel 4y agohhhahaahha woa I missed that completely I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who took it seriously. Thanks! I wonder if mr LeCun made the same mistake, it's just... almost believable! Good April fools joke I gotta admit. EDIT: it's now 5 minutes later and I'm still laughing. I believed for months that Yudkowski had started a death cult.
