It’s a pure character assassination because you’d never write this about someone you weren’t already willing to write a hit piece about.

- nathan_compton 4y agoI just don't see it. From my point of view LeCun's opinion is 1) newsworthy since he is a luminary and 2) worthy of critique in light of both the advancements in AI recently, their implications for society, and the relative superficiality of his comments. I think we, as readers, should cultivate a little endurance for this kind of work. Yes, there is an opinion here, and yes, its expressed in a little bit of a fun way, but its a stretch indeed to think this is some kind of nefarious hit piece.
- AbrahamParangi 4y agoI think endurance is reasonable as a reader, but I also think this sort of discourse is of no value to anyone but the writer, and certainly not to us. It’s a cool ranch dorito of an article. It tastes moderately good, has no real content, and leaves you a little worse off for consuming it.
