Typo fix: LeCun’s commercial interests and incentives position him to miss the point.

Missing the point is a nice way of putting it. LeCun’s interests and position him to miss the point. Personally, I view his takes on AI as unserious — in the sense that I have a hard time believing he really engages in a serious manner. The

Philosophy as a field has been slow to take probability theory seriously. Trying to traffic in only certainty is a severe limitation.

Many people disagree with LeCun for reasoning having nothing to do with materialism. It is about logical reasoning over possible future scenarios.

Given that I don't agree with many of Yann LeCun's stances on AI, I enjoyed making this: https://6ammc3n5zzf5ljnz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/inf2... Hello I'm an AI-generated version of Yann LeCoon. As an

I’m curious about other organisms that have a split between the vagus and the spinal cord. What explanations might helps us understand why evolution went in that direction? What is our most distant ancestor that does not have the split?

In the early days, even as I appreciated what Pandas could do, I never found its API sane. Pandas has too many special cases and foot-guns. It is a notorious case of poor design. My opinion is hardly uncommon. If you read over https:/

People will indeed sometimes lie or spin for various reasons. There doesn’t necessarily have to be an external incentive. Sometimes internal factors are enough; e.g. to reduce cognitive dissonance. They will sometimes lie to themselves and
