Industry Veteran Pushes Back: Labs Did This Before LLMs, and Researchers Barely Code
yacineMTB · x · 2026-10-19
A minor AI-industry spat: after Yacine showed off a technique, jsuarez replied that it's nothing new — his lab did the same for its first three major releases before LLMs existed, adding that researchers back then didn't need them and "most of them barely know how to code." A pushback against AI-era novelty narratives and a jab at research-engineering culture.
