honestly LeCun should know better than to argue with a crazy person.

it doesn't matter how right he is, musk will turn everything around and have fun while doing it.

The point of arguing with morons online is not to convince the morons. It's to convince the spectators.

This particular moron is selling tickets to the venue he's using to argue with him tho...

I'm not convinced that has the effect you think it does.

To me it just makes LeCun look worse for engaging with him. His research stands on its own and I don't think convincing anyone of anything on xitter is going to have a worthwhile outcome for him.
