Yann LeCun: Meta’s New AI Model LLaMA; Why Elon is Wrong about AI; Open-source AI Models | E1014

I love hearing from the researchers that actually know how the systems work under the hood make prediction as opposed to people going off what they've read in sci-fi novels

A whimsical description of Facebook breaking down the fabric of society with algorithmic newsfeeds

It was a great show, and Yann made great points very well. But he still did not explain why he thinks that a super-smart AI, able to make its own subgoals, would not see increased control as a subgoal which would aid it in satisfying the other goals which it is given. I know of no mathematical or algorithmic strategy which rules out this undesirable side-effect. NOTE ADDED LATER : the following debate meanders a bit, but if you are interested in my critique, I get down to more technical details in the reply below entitled **THE PROPER CRITIQUE** .

His predictions are similar to those that said sequencing of the human genome would be the end of cancer and the internet would allow for and utopic world. Both are entirely too positive. Society is not ready for the advent of strong AI

This is an awesome conversation.! I love Yann's optimism on the positive impacts of AI.

What is the significance of some of the questions like, What is the time it took to get to the major breakthroughs..." really does it matter? Is this just a matter of appreciating what Mr LeCun did with his time in the lab? What effect does it have for us now?

One of the best interviews with Yann so far! It's really refreshing to hear a balanced optimistic opinion from the trenches. Thanks for sharing. PS. Nice touch to remove silences to create a more dynamic conversation. It was a nice detail. One mistake, it's not Jeff Dean who departed, it's Hinton. (Notes)

In 1995 at the dawn of the Internet/Web it was already obvious that making web pages was a huge career path. We are at the same point in AI and no one can name any of these great new jobs.

Very good selection of discussion topics, congratulations for the host!

Thank you for sharing this very interesting conversation!

I have a dumb question for the smart intro. How long before our smart AI assistants decide to take a promotion & become the boss?

First time i see this guy and see him speak, but i had a great respect for him and following his works since 2014

All his assumptions dismissing the dangers of AGI — he’s only thinking about GPT-4, not the ones after that 😂

Switzerland is well placed to do well over the coming decades. Of the large countries, I especially like the chances of the U.S. to do well over the coming decades.

I've enjoyed this talk immensely. Thank you harry.

Excellent interview, thanks to both of you. Learning to use tools is actually a big next step for AI, and we see it emerging into the mainstream with ChatGPT plugins. With regard to world models, I wonder if the Meta-verse will finally find a use as Llama descendants can use it to explore a limited physical world. Edit: Although more specialized physical models are probably a better choice.

How does a person secure a patent or personal interest when everything is done "in the open?"

but Yann - how does AI make it possible for me to pay rent?

Just who will get these opportunities to be in control of AI? Isnt this exactly what was said about the early stages of Facebook and social media? Where is the historical comparisons that would eiter support parallels or show differences?

I love what Yann LeCun said. I totaly agree about people ignoring the real bad things in thr world and replace it for imagined bad risks that might or might not be real. Also the realization of indirect benefits like printing press and so on. Also the open source in meta makes me want to help them more
