Ha before reading the article I thought "this must be an interview of Lecun". A bitter scientist that hates he was left behind the revolution.

In what way was he left behind? If he wanted to actually work on LLMs all the AI labs would fight to get him

Left behind how? It's been transformers since 2016 and not much actual progress in basic architectures has happened 10 years later. I'm honestly struggling to see how you can be left behind in this field.

Obviously, transformers architecture is just one of the ingredients. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing competing labs in this race. I also read all his interviews as a marketing material.

and CPUs have the same basic architecture since 2000. no progress happened, right?

Considering all of the great research that has come from his labs (eg. DINO, Segment Anything) I don’t think that’s fair (no pun intended).
