Facebook's 'Deep Learning' Guru Reveals the Future of AI

  Wired actually ran a decent deep learning article! Just doing an interview with the researcher seemed quite a bit better than their normal approach of doing the standard zero-depth pop-sci overview of the topic. Lecun gave solid answers, and the questions didn't suck. I particularly enjoyed the answer about the "conspiracy" between Hinton, Bengio, and Lecun.

  | But the goal is really long-term, more long-term than work that is currently taking place at Facebook. I know a lot of discussion takes place that it's a shame that so much work goes into increasing page views, click through rates, etc. But maybe in this case we can think of facebook as more of a "patron" of this technology, where it will benefit directly but also move the field forward.

  So we can expect some NSA layoffs since Facebook will be doing more and more of their work for them?
