META AI PIONEER HAS DISCUSSED LEAVING TO LAUNCH A STARTUP

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Yann LeCun, the AI pioneer who has led Meta's AI efforts for more than a decade, has reportedly recruited colleagues and spoken to investors about possibly creating a startup focused on developing world models. LeCun has become one of the biggest skeptics that large language models could lead to superintelligence. He has advocated for a new type of training for AI models based on real-world data. LeCun believes that within three to five years, world models will be the dominant model for AI architectures and that nobody will use the kind of models we have today.
