Yann LeCun is not a good person, but at least he's significantly smarter than Elon

I know nothing about him, what did he do?

For starters, he’s both French and works for Meta. 😏

But beyond that, from a professional perspective this guy has pioneered so much stuff that we take for granted today; like check scanning and OCR. I mean he is touted as one of the godfathers of ai.
