I'd trust Yann LeCun a lot more if he committed to eternal human supremacy, but he's said some dubious things in the past that amount to being okay with giving over the light cone to some arbitrary AI system. I'm pretty sure he does mean "light cone" more or less, he's a techno optimist.

Historically people have not done well at avoiding systems traps and maintaining any sort of global consensus not to do things. Particularly things that a) don't seem to be an immediate atrocity and b) grant economic advantage.
