ylecun · x · 2026-08-04

Turing Award winner and Meta Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun responded aggressively on X to a user who accused him of being arrogant. He stated that his supposedly arrogant remarks were an appropriate response to the user's "ignorant insult."

Rather than elaborating on his stance regarding "pure LLMs," LeCun listed numerous links to his past interviews, technical talks, and papers, suggesting these materials provided more than enough "chances for you to understand."
