TwitterBoy showing his blatant ignorance against one of the people who literally invented modern machine learning.
Nothing shockingly unexpected from the very stable 10D chess master genius of course, but oh my, how embarrassing it must be for all the people working for him.
It’s the same whenever he gets shown up.
“I’ll save those schoolboys with my robot submarine!”
*submarine won’t fit in cave*
*schoolboys are rescued by a diver*
“Pedo guy…”
I’m sure he can be forgiven for not knowing the name of a scientist whose work his employees build upon
The fact that he didn’t believe them when they claimed to be a scientist though
I wonder if Elon chose a timeframe of 5 years because Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018.
He isn’t that smart.
That gives him too much credit.
I don’t think he deserves that much credit
The Internet as a whole seems a lot less interested in actually listening to anyone with credentials to back themselves up (Musk obviously included).
Literally, people will just “nuh-uh” a piece of fact for purely emotional personal reasons.Maybe it’s that we made the Internet so full of disinformation that everyone is just automatically refusing to listen to others, maybe we have created a social group that just assumes they are more educated than everyone else cause they read some stuff in the internet.
Maybe all the smarter people with credentials have done the smart thing and left the internet, cause if I hear one more person tell me I’m wrong and that people totally explode in the vacuum of space cause they watched a movie. (Someone even called me confidently incorrect after I provided the research paper I cited when working on decompression in a vacuum), I honestly will think humanity has no right to claim themselves master of any part of nature and I will praise the universe for wiping us out hopefully Armageddon style, with an asteroid with a bunch of oil drillers on it.
Why are we still sharing snapshots from twitter?
Let’s start capturing more interesting conversations that are happening on Lemmy and other places!
THANK YOU.
I persistently work to get Twitter, elon, musk, cyber truck, Tesla, spacex, and every other x-affiliated bullshit out of my newsfeed, just for people to screenshot this shitty website. You like twitter, keep it on twitter. Cool.
I suppose I’ll block the person who uploaded it.
edit:spelling
Elon is such a fucking tool
I strongly disagree with that statement… tools are useful.
He’s the arch-twit
Does 80 technical papers in 2.5 years seem kind of off to anyone else? That’s more than a paper every 2 weeks. Is there really time for meaningful research if you’re publishing that often? Is he advising a lot of students? If that’s the case, is he providing the attention generally needed for each one? Is his field just super different than mine?
Stephen King claims he writes 2000 words a day.
R. L. Stein supposedly wrote a new (admittedly short) novel every two weeks.
This Spanish romance novelist apparently wrote over 4000 novels in her lifetime.

So sure, why not 80 technical papers in 2.5 years?
It’s easier to write that much if you are just making stuff up…
Successful writers generally don’t just make stuff up. They do plenty of research.
You can’t just compare creative writing to writing a paper.
True, but you can compare writing 4000 novels a year with being able to write 80 papers a few pages long in 2.5 and say that both are possible.
