    There’s some serious bad blood in the AI academic world between the old farts that toiled thanklessly all through the thirty years of the AI winter, proving all sorts of fundamental theorems, only to get steam rolled by (relative) newcomers with big tech backing the very second tech started catching up to the math. Things got pretty heated with accusations of academic malpractice, and generic assholery.

    Yann is one of the main participants in this drama. The other is a Swiss professor that is about equally friendly.
