I didn’t say you can’t criticize household names with the highest honor in their field. I’m saying that it takes some cheek to say there’s nothing original about results that many experts (who are nothing to do with me, and me in a narrow way) think are pretty hot shit. I try (and sometimes fail) to confine my strident claims requiring strident evidence to topics I’m willing and able to get into the nitty gritty on, and bring my CV and reputation to the party as a courtesy. Anyone can post biased-sounding shit and hand-wave over the substance of the claim under an 11-month burner named with malice aforethought to talk shit and be able to disavow it. I gave you a rather firm tap on the shoulder about how borderline at best this move is, and under the assumption you’ve got an HN main, you know this. I had hoped you might put the effort that went into doubling down into explaining the apparently obvious prior art, the whataboutism kick flip into the Shockley Race IQ trope made zero people more enlightened and steered a contentious thread even further off the rails. Nobel laureates do in fact go off the friggin rails from time to time, but I don’t think LeCun is an interesting comparison to Kary Mulis past “AM Radio yelling”. I’m calling that one out. Maybe elaborate on a pretty debatable claim instead?
