Yann LeCun says Dario Amodei "knows nothing about AI effects on jobs"

LeCun is playing the game, Amodei is playing the meta game.

Amodei's intention is to signal to the corporate world that his product is extremely valuable because they might be able to fire half of their entry level people. Amodei doesn't care whether that's actually true, it's just a sales pitch. Amodei is advertising his product, but LeCun thinks he's making predictions.

rexpop•24m ago
You make it sound as if Amodei is just playing the game—"make a profit"—while LeCun is playing the meta-game—"participate in building a functional society."
therobots927•23m ago
Lying to hype your product is not a “meta game”. It’s a short term strategy where you trade your future relevance and credibility for a swimming pool full of cash.

Yann LeCun is a Turing award winning research scientist who will be remembered as a scientist and a visionary.

Amodei’s name will go the way of WeWork’s Adam Neumann - it will be mostly forgotten, and only remembered on occasion as a massive and embarrassing fraud.

Doesn't matter anyway what exactly they are saying.

On one side you can interpolate in what direction it can go, than you can also add the general speed we are currently seeying and then you can try it out yourself.

The conclusion?

1. its clear that currently its critical to be aware of whats going on. With this you can act sooner or be part of this

2. if it hits hard but not too hard, you might have an advantage because you know how to use it

3. if its stalls you can reduce your effort in this area

He argued that AI systems are already capable of tackling genuinely complex challenges.

And they are already capable of making a genuine mess of things --- particularly over the long term.

Some AI models are sorta OK at writing code. None of them are very good at maintaining it. Straightening out the mess that AI makes is going to be even harder and more costly after the labor market for developers retracts.

readitalready•23m ago
AI models are now better than humans at writing code. Yes, even the world's top coders. Please catch up to the state-of-the-art and learn to build your workflow to make sure the AI agents are writing good code. If your AI agent is writing terrible code or not maintaining them properly, that's a YOU problem.
therobots927•20m ago
That is complete bullshit. If you actually believe that, then you’re almost certainly either a manager or an IC specializing in CSS, HTML, or JavaScript.

Hardware engineer here. I design the high-end processors and EDA tools, using the world's most complex algorithms, not the baby stuff obviously you make.

I see arrogant retards everywhere that think they're smarter than AI.

No, you are not smarter than AI. AI is smarter than you.

The quicker you learn this, the better off you will be.

Control your ego.

therobots927•26m ago
Yann is a serious person in a very unserious field. He will be vindicated sooner than you think.

LeCun is saying that AI will create jobs — a sentiment I agree with.
