#3Yann has been a refreshing source of reason and common sense with regards to AI safety, regulation and open-source. I wish we had more people like him and less AI doomer cultists.

LeCun at least knows a lot about AI. Most of the Q* stuff is coming from people who know almost nothing.

#6It's hard to call anything that comes from LeCun "news": any time you hear of a phenomenon in the ML/AI space, you know pretty much exactly the sentiment he's going to express. His entire brand is "doomers are wrong, you can trust me, I am AI daddy".

But his guesses match the consensus, so it doesn't add to the stuff he's criticizing.
Fair enough. I suppose the useful bit is that lots of ignorant people have gone nuts ("OMG this is AGI!") without any details. That's just hype. But, yes, to your point, there is also some substantive and interesting speculation from more knowledgeable people.

People like his takes because he gives an authoritative gloss to what they already believe. But his points are usually lacking in argument or rigor. Anyone that essentially expects the public to trust them when it comes to the outcome of AI/AGI should be view with suspicion.

I mean I don’t think predicting the future is something that typically involves rigor. The outcome is pretty clear: whatever makes a ton of money. Probably a trusted friend in your pocket that sometimes helps you buy stuff. The most negative predictions are silly because they don’t involve making a ton of money for anybody.
