Godfather of AI Yann Lecun wants AI models to upgrade from writing his essays to solving this ‘big bedroom problem’
Meta’s former Chief AI scientist who is also popularly regarded as the Godfather of AI, Yann Lecun, wants AI models to do lots more. In a post on X, formerly Twitter Lecun said that he wants LLMs (Large Language Models) to do a lot more including physical work. He made the comment while replying to Paul Graham. “Someone asked what I’d do if I were 17. I’d learn how to build LLMs from scratch, and then train ones as powerful as I could with whatever hardware I could get access to,” wrote Graham in a post on X.
To this Lecun replied, “I would try to figure out why LLMs can write my essays but not clean my bedroom. Then I would study topics in college and grad school that could help solve that problem.
