Zuck is definitely an idiot and MSL is an expensive joke, but LeCun hasn’t been relevant in a decade at this point.

No doubt his pitch deck will be the same garbage slides he’s been peddling in every talk since the 2010’s.

LeCun has already proved himself and made his mark and is now in a lucky position where he can focus on very long term goals that won't pay off for a long time (or ever). I feel like that is the best path someone like him could take.

Yes, he did a very important thing many decades ago. He hasn't had a good or impactful idea since convnets.
