Yann is just plain incorrect here, he’s confusing general intelligence with universal intelligence. Brains are the most exquisite and complex phenomena we know of in the universe (so far), and they are in fact extremely general. Obviously one can’t circumvent the no free lunch theorem so in a practical and finite system there always has to be some degree of specialisation around the target distribution that is being learnt. But the point about generality is that in theory, in the Turing Machine sense, the architecture of such a general system is capable of learning anything computable given enough time and memory (and data), and the human brain (and AI foundation models) are approximate Turing Machines. Finally, with regards to Yann's comments about chess players, it’s amazing that humans could have invented chess in the first place (and all the other aspects of modern civilization from science to 747s!) let alone get as brilliant at it as someone like Magnus. He may not be strictly optimal (after all he has finite memory and limited time to make a decision) but it’s incredible what he and we can do with our brains given they were evolved for hunter gathering.

Yann LeCun says there is no such thing as general intelligence Human intelligence is super-specialized for the physical world, and our feeling of generality is an illusion We only seem general because we can't imagine the problems we're blind to "the concept is complete BS"

@sundarpichai Interesting to see how other frontier labs respond to Google’s leap in performance-per-cost.

@michaeljburry Don’t worry. Soon you’ll be tweeting that crypto is a once-in-a-generation technology and that you finally pulled the trigger on Bitcoin. Even Buffett ended up buying Google. Everyone comes around eventually.

@MaxCrypto Let’s see how hawkish the tone really is. The 25 bps is should be a done deal, but the long end may not give a fk, as always. On the balance sheet, they’ll do the bare minimum to keep the system from cracking. Funny how “QE” remains a forbidden word at the Fed.
