Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Laurens Hof on Mastodon:

absolutely insane article:

  • the headline claims the models capable of reasoning are ready
  • first paragraph moves from 'ready' to 'on the brink'
  • 4th paragraph moves from 'on the brink' to 'hard at work, figuring it out'
  • 5th paragraph scales it down further, now the next model with only 'show progress' towards reasoning'
  • halfway through LeCun admits that current models cannot reason at all

the journalistic malpractice here is honestly a parody of itself
