Yann LeCun@ylecun·
Actually, AI already saves lives. In several countries, mammograms are examined by AI and radiologists. Reliability is improved. In the EU, every car sold must be equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking Systems. That's AI. They reduce frontal collisions by 40%. Modern MRI machines are equipped with AI technology that reduces the time of imaging by 4x or more. You can now get a full-body MRI in 40 minutes for about $1000. Reduced time -> reduced cost -> more/earlier detection. And that's not counting the progress in medicine enabled by modern AI, including Nobel Prize-winning protein structure prediction.

Let me say this clearly: airplanes cannot fly. Flying is an evolutionary mechanism that first insects and then dinosaurs used to avoid danger etc.
Valerio Capraro@ValerioCapraro

Let me say this clearly: LLMs cannot feel emotions. Emotions are evolutionary mechanisms. They push us to avoid danger or approach what is beneficial. We experience emotions because we are alive, and we want to stay alive. LLMs are not alive. Yes, emotional language may be encoded somewhere in the LLM. Yes, it may even be associated with some LLM output. But that is just a superficial property. There is nothing deeper behind it. For a very simple reason: LLMs do not have an intrinsic and inescapable drive to stay alive. This is what we call “motivation fault line” in our paper describing seven fault lines between human and artificial intelligence. * Paper in the first reply

More people will die from suppressing AI than from the imaginary AI apocalypse. They'll die from restricting safe self-driving cars that are 90% better drivers than people who kill 1.5 million people and injure 50 million more every year. They'll die from the vaccines and cures that never get created. They'll die from all the myriad of helpful inventions that never get created by geniuses in a datacenter. They'll die from preventable diseases that they could have asked their chat bots about so they were better informed when they went to see their doctors but who couldn't ask because short-sighted legislators made it so the chat bots had to refuse to answer. They'll die from the slower economy that stifles robot driven factories over wildly overblown jobs apocalypse fears which will mean we never get a vast array of new and more affordable goods. They'll die from the cheaper solar panels and batteries that would get made by those automated factories which would slow climate damage and provide cheap energy to undeserved areas. They'll die from the super smart tele-AI doctors that never get deployed to remote areas. And they'll die as fanatics from the stop AI movement radicalize their followers to shoot people or throw firebombs.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” wapo.st/4dZY8UL

Indeed. The history of tech impact on labor is well-documented, including by those named. It's unpredictable, but usually improves productivity and leads to expansion. Law & white-collar workers aren't horse-buggy drivers or elevator operators. They will use AI and adapt.
Yann LeCun@ylecun

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸
Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸@pmarca·
Many people are saying.
Alex Bouaziz@Bouazizalex

@pmarca is right. When a company becomes more productive, it doesn't sit still. It goes after more customers, enters new markets, builds new products. Productivity gives you leverage, and leverage makes you want to do more, not less. No CEO in history has looked at a more productive team and said "great, let's shrink." They hire more. That's what we're seeing in our data. We also tend to forget that new tech creates new jobs and industries. A job title that didn't exist now demands 70k people (+283% YoY). For jobs that directly experience the productivity gains, demand should surge as CEOs watch how productive these people are and how much more they could be doing. (Images from @deel and @lennysan)

Trump said his tariffs would bring blue-collar jobs BACK TO THE US. Instead, it’s raised costs and DESTROYED MANUFACTURING JOBS. The US LOST 150,000 manufacturing and construction jobs last year.

Carl Sagan warned that suppressing uncomfortable ideas, common in religion and politics, is deadly for science. Science thrives on open inquiry, not dogma, and no one can predict who will make the next breakthrough.

The implementation of free market and capitalism in Eastern Europe made them not only much wealthier, but also significantly improved life expectancy. The only people in favor of socialism are those who have never experienced socialist misery by themselves. Don’t listen to them.

Help me make sense of this. On one side, Russia is sending drones, medicine and food to Iran (in addition to targeting info of US interests in the Mid East). On the other, a group of sanctioned Russian lawmakers have been welcomed in Washington for meetings on the Hill

I wish Democrats would study “the law of unintended consequences” It’s like no legislatures seem to ever study history or economics. I understand the emotion of rent control, high taxes & big social programs. But economically speaking the data is pretty clear they don’t work

Jimmy Wales
Jimmy Wales@jimmy_wales·
I asked this week on a parent's Whatsapp group here in London: how many of you have your chidren's phones set up as "child phones"? The first answer I got was "I didn't know that was possible." If you care about child safety, this is what you should be doing in government: promoting the use of sensible and easy to use tools for parents, as opposed to crazy nonsense about wrongly teaching kids that VPNs are bad and asking children to upload face scans to Roblox.

Warren Kinsella
Warren Kinsella@kinsellawarren·
Tucker Carlson's vile antisemitic slander of Chabad reminds me of 2004. My Dad and Mom, Irish Catholics, had retired to Kingston, but then we were told: he was dying. A fast-moving cancer was killing my father. They sent him home for the last time. I wasn't there, that day, but my parents called me. My Mom: "Warren, your friend the rabbi is out on the street, in front of the house." Me: "Mendy? What is he doing?" My Mom was crying. "It looks like he is praying," she said. "His hands are reaching up. I think he is praying for Dad." He was. Mendy Z. drove all the way from Montreal, alone, and went to pray for my Dad's life. That was Mendy, and that was my introduction to the humanity that guides Chabad. I, we, never forgot it.
