@ylecun
Turing Award winner, inventor of convolutional neural networks. Chief AI Scientist at Meta. Famously skeptical of LLMs as a path to AGI, advocating instead for world models and self-supervised learning.
Key Beliefs
LLMs don't truly understand — they're sophisticated pattern matchers
World models and planning are the path to real intelligence
Open-source AI is essential for democratic AI
AI existential risk is overblown
The next breakthrough will come from architecture innovation, not scale
