- yodsanklai 2y agoTBH I'm very surprised Yann Le Cun is still there. He looks to me like a free thinker and an independent person. I don't think he buys into the Trump agenda and US nationalistic anti-Europe speech like Zuck does. He may be giving Zuck the benefit of the doubt, and probably is grateful that Zuck gave him a chance when nobody else did.

He may be giving Zuck the benefit of the doubt, and probably is grateful that Zuck gave him a chance when nobody else did. Zuck doesn't buy it, either. He just knows what's good for business right now. In an example of the worst person you know making a great point, Josh Hawley said "What really struck me is that they can read an election return."

Though it's worth remembering, it's very difficult to accumulate the volume of data necessary to do the current kind of AI training while sticking to the strictest interpretations of EU privacy law. Social media companies aren't just feeding the user data into marketing algorithms, they're feeding them into AI models. If you're a leading researcher in that field - Like Le Cun - and the current state-of-the-art means getting as much data as possible, you might not appreciate the regulatory environment of the EU.

- brandall10 2y agoIt's a misnomer - the VP left. Yann is the Chief Scientist, which I imagine most would agree would be the 'head' of a research division.
