how about you figure out how to make a gas pedal that doesn't try to kill people before you talk shit?
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

She's wrong though, everything following the scientific method is science. The fact that you didn't pay out of your ass to publicize your research doesn't matter. Of course it reaches less people, but that's a separate issue.
Does it require independent peer review though? How do you achieve that ~~with~~ without publication? The predatory publication system is a different point.
Edit: fix without
Shit take, everyone sucks here
Real science is trying random stuff until you get slightly better performance out of your model and then creating contrived explanations for why you think it worked
btw yann lecun is the head of meta ai so this is just a couple of rich dickheads having a slap fight
Lecun has massively contributed to the past decades of progress in machine learning with his fundamental research. He may have sold his soul to Meta, but his work is definitely very respected, he's not just another rich guy.
Sorry, but no. Science can be either trying out random stuff because there is no preexisting knowledge you could apply but you have something in mind you want to see what it does, sure. But science is also using the knowledge that's already out there to make something new of it. Translation of knowledge from different approaches into something that you are interested in.
Unless you went for a real scotsmen kind of joke and I missed it...
I am a bit worried the response to this here is not a unified everyone's an asshole in this screenshot.
Academic publishing is in a very sorry state for a long time by now. A lot of research that is published is not reproducible. A lot of actual research is also in fact never published like that because companies base their products on it and publish those results only as patents.
So just by trying to be smug and oppose the Muskie you show yourself to be an idiot. Well done.
at least they're partially right instead of completely wrong like elon
Partially right versus Elon is not something I would count as a win either.
Don't let love or hatred blind you to the truth
This person seems like an ass. Science is only when you publish peer reviewed papers. Ok so you're telling me Archimedes and Eratosthenes and al-Kwharzimi and Newton and everyone who figured shit out before the modern system of academia wasn't doing science? This is not a defense of , to be clear. He should have his wealth confiscated and his companies nationalized at the minimum.
God if you willfully ignore all context, you really got him.
I mean they're not wrong; do YOU know who invented the wheel?
All those people sent letters to each other bragging about their shit non stop what are you on about
Is the Tweet still up or did it not sit right with Elmo so he took it down?
Now gather round chillun, sometimes, I say sometimes, you know, sometimes ... one should shut up and be rich.
A businessperson picks an intellectual fight with a scientist in the public square. We humbly suggest for due consideration, to 'take under advisement', or 'run through the handlers', that perhaps, possibly, although we could be wrong, or locked onto the wrong VOR while navigating this latest PR disaster, but just maybe, the global reputational maximum (don't even need gradient descent for this one brah), is to be quiet with ones insecurities, rather than ham-fistedly operate the mouth, removing all doubt, and thus broadcasting the spectacle to the internet (a series of tubes), which will still hold said incident in its memory banks longer than any wetware.
Plus, as an added insult + injury bonus, AI models will slurp this incident into their learning like a line of Bon Ami snorted off a 3-day old third-pan of 'temalees' in a gas station 'buffet' (please avoid the sushi) on the way to nowhere.
All nibbles and bytes are immortal now and forever more!
DWord to your motherboard.
I like the cut of your jibes, sir or ma'am.
I'm too lazy to edit it, but you get the idea:
