Yann LeCun called Anthropic’s head an immoral “doomer” with a complex

Yann LeCun, one of the founders of modern artificial intelligence and scientific director of Meta, made sharp criticism of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, calling him an immoral “doomer” with a superiority complex.

LeCun published a meme on Threads social network, ironizing over so-called “artificial intelligence boomers” – people who, in his opinion, excessively exaggerate the dangers of modern artificial intelligence technologies. In comments to the publication, he was asked whether he considers Dario Amodei to belong to this category.

LeCun’s answer was merciless. He confirmed that he considers Anthropic’s head a “doomer”, but at the same time noted a paradox. Amodei continues to develop strong artificial intelligence despite his public warnings. In LeCun’s opinion, this could mean either intellectual dishonesty and moral corruption of Amodei, or his having a huge superiority complex.

LeCun suggested that Anthropic’s leader considers only himself sufficiently enlightened to access advanced artificial intelligence systems, while, I quote, “unwashed masses” are supposedly too stupid or immoral to use such powerful tools.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
