Making LeCun report to Wang was the most boneheaded move imaginable. But… I suppose Zuckerberg knows what he wants, which is AI slopware and not truly groundbreaking foundation models.

LeCun is great and smart, of course. But he had his chance. It didn't go that well. Now Zuck wants somebody else to try.

Messi is the best footballer of our era. It doesn't mean he would play well in any team.

I don't think Messi could do it on a wet night in Stoke. Ronaldo could, though.

Messi would only play well in Barcelona. Lecunn can produce high quality research anywhere. It's not a great comparison.
