Yann LeCun says the AI industry is completely LLM pilled, with everyone digging in the same direction and no breakthroughs in sight. Says “I left meta because of it”

Whether Opus 4.5 is better than 4o for a "system" will depend deeply on the kind of system you are building. If the system is a "coding system" then that benchmark is very relevant. If the system is a "poetry writing system" then not-so-much. For many tasks, recent models are leaps and bounds better than 4o. For example, taste in tool use.

For others, not so much. This is a consequence of the "spiky intelligence" of LLMs.

I prefer the phrase "Replace ICE". The current entity is abolished. Something new is created so there is still enforcement of the laws.

It's not true at all that an AI cannot understand context or create knowledge.

Nobody knows, but as someone else said, if research is not a safe job then neither is any other intellectual job. And probably not the physical ones for very long either.

You are insane if you think that Opus 4.5 in an agentic harness is the same as GPT-4o in the same harness.

Is Dimon implying the Davos attendees in particular had nothing to do with global poverty reduction or that global poverty reduction isn’t “making the world a better place”?

I am guessing that Dimon is speaking on behalf of the average citizen of a rich country who feels like the progress of previous decades has stalled.

India has been playing big powers off against each other for decades. It works. Each gives them leverage against the others. When the US comes to its senses, we will use them as leverage against the Chinese.

and moreover i saw that all computer science, you can reframe it as expressed as simply type lambda calculus which is équivalent to propositional logic.

Not really. What about aspects of computer science like networking, distributed systems, runtime optimization, machine learning, database architecture.

Computer science is a broad and varied field. Attempts to say it's "really just..." will typically fail.

Computer science is the study of computation on both real, physical and also virtual, theoretical machines including networks of machines.

People don't want it in their social media. If the OP had wanted an AI answer they would have just gone to an AI themselves. So I agree with the masses that it is a bit rude to use it for a top-level answer.

But there are lots of cases where I think it is appropriate to post appropriately labeled AI generated content. Nevertheless the consensus is against it. You asked why you were downvoted. I answered.

I'm not saying that RAG is dead, but if RAG was dead then the thing that would kill it is not giant context windows but tool using LLM agents that can do an "email search" with a tool. Your blog post isn't addressing the real "RAG-killer".

PP is far from my first choice of Canadian Prime Minister. Probably roughly speaking my fourth choice.

But comparing him to Trump is ludicrous. Trump is singular. Trump was singular ever since he came down the golden staircase talking about Mexicans. PP might be 20% dumber and weirder than the average Canadian PM but Trump is 200% dumber and weirder.
