It’s hard to imagine more of a dream Unsupervised Learning guest than @ylecun. Yann is one of the godfathers of AI, and he has some fascinating contrarian views on the limitations of LLMs. It was incredible to get to have a wide-ranging discussion with Yann about these views, reflections on his time at Meta and departure and what’s next for him. We hit on: ▪️ LLM limitations and a path forward for robotics ▪️ Why he left Meta ▪️ How he came to so dramatically disagree with his Turing co-laureates Geoff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio on LLMs ▪️ His predictions for 2027 ▪️ His new company AMI and the bet on world models ▪️ Why he compares OpenAI and Anthropic to Sun Microsystems ▪️ Why he tells PhD students to stop working on LLMs Plus some sharp views on the current safety discourse, how breakthrough research actually happens and what FAIR got right and wrong.
