And still he has a thousand times the integrity of the rat.

Could you please elaborate on that ? I’ve never heard of this
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.
One thing you should know about him is that he is self reported to have a really good twitter game.
Why doesn’t the bigger asshole simply eat the other, smaller asshole?
If it fits, I sits
Subtle dig also calling it “Twitter” to the one person who probably seethes when hearing that. Nice.
Are you kidding? He’s happy that this fake drama generates engagement.
Shouldn’t that be “Neuralink and E. Musk” anyway? The equivalent of the P. I. putting his name first like that is unorthodox.
It depends on the field. My understanding is that in physics, it’s accepted to put the PI first. Seems weird to me, but I’m coming from biology, which is a PI-last field
Lol, Elon got a big book of middle school comebacks and considers himself well read.
Elon. Elon? Elon. Sit down Elon. No one believes you don’t remember who this guy is.
Right? Every time I think Musk’s behavior is “peak high school” he goes all elementary school on us.
This is like if you did a Google search for Sergey Brin dumb, and the result was just the navy seals copypasta with your actual home address.
Elon already forgot? Must be the drugs

how much are you willing to bet that he searches for tweets containing “Elon” multiple times per day?

I am willing to bet he has an automated scanner running searching for tweets containing “Elon”, probably even aggregating them by how many followers a tweeter has
