LeCun hits back at 'loser' taunts: starting a company at 66 to spark the next AI revolution
ylecun · x · 2026-10-19
Yann LeCun responded in French to taunts calling him a 'loser': his career has been built on making the impossible possible, and at 66 he is founding a new company to bring the next AI revolution. He added that only ill-informed Elon fanbois see him that way, and that his 'technical bullshit detector' is sharp enough that he must publicly flag the limitations of superficially cool demos.
