Derya Counters LeCun: An Isolated Brain Is Less Capable Than an LLM with Tools
DeryaTR_ · x · 2026-08-04
Derya responds to Yann LeCun's critique of pure auto-regressive LLMs, arguing that the practical power of intelligence lies in using interfaces and tools to turn internal models into actionable consequences. Human intelligence has always been about the brain acting through hands and mouth to create technology and society. Derya points out that an isolated human brain, deprived of these interfaces, might be externally less capable than an auto-regressive LLM with tool calling, making LeCun's argument moot.
