Outright lying about the claims of the #StochasticParrots paper from @emilymbender, @timnitGebru, et al. — it's not a good look for Yann LeCun.
The paper indeed explores harms and climate impact. But nowhere does it claim that LLMs are useless, and the paper is saturated with examples and discussion of precisely the uses that LeCun claims it denies.

@ct_bergstrom @emilymbender @timnitGebru Yann also seems to believe that there's a linear relationship between the non normalized # of neurons in a brain and overall intelligence. The arrogance of some of these AI researchers is remarkable.
