"These models aim to replicate human reasoning and understanding of the physical world, a project LeCun has said could take a decade to mature."

What an insane time horizon to define success. I suppose he easily can raise enough capital for that kind of runway.

That guy has survived the AI winter. He can wait 10 years for yet another breakthrough. [but the market can’t]

We're at most in an "AI Autumn" right now. The real Winter is yet to come.

Winter is a cyclical concept, just like all the other seasons. It will be no different here; the pendulum swings back and forth. The unknown factor is the length of the cycle.
