Fowe · x · 2026-08-24
Replying to Paul Graham, Yann LeCun stated that if he were in college or grad school, he would focus on solving the discrepancy between LLMs' essay-writing abilities and their inability to perform physical chores like cleaning a bedroom. He aims to develop methods and architectures beyond LLMs that can quickly learn physical tasks as efficiently as humans and animals, noting this is a pursuit worth dedicating to at any age.
