Exactly! That was more relevant and critical than his opinion on Google's smart working. Plus, his view of EU and his attempts to "fix the AI Act".

I totally agree! That’s why, as sad as it can be, a couple of weeks ago I decided to delete my FB and IG accounts.

I tried really hard in signalling inappropriate content, adding manual tags irrelevant for me, but nothing. I got frustrated of unasked violence, road rage acts, sex and physical injuries. Bye bye Meta.

The problem remain for everybody else. I hope governments start to pay close attention and investigate. Meta’s pure evil.

Gary Marcus built almost entirely his public reputation (which is positively correlated with his income) by antagonizing whatever Deep Learning scientist he could reach. He speaks badly about people that worked hard with their hands, brains and souls to make incredibly complex things happen.

Yann Lecun, which I personally met a couple of times, is in a way another sort of typical character: the ever-childish researcher that likes money a lot, to the point of accepting a prestigious role in one of the most deplorable companies in the modern world (at least from an ethical perspective). He also like attention and public display of status: he can’t resist to pick a fight with Gary. From a pure research perspective he’s long dead.

The question is: do we have enough of those two? Can we move on? Thanks.

It seems that selection bias is something journalists really struggle with...
