LeCun doesn't mince his words about why he ultimately decided to leave Meta after more than a decade. Staying became politically difficult, he tells me. And while Zuckerberg likes LeCun's world model research, the crowd who were hired for the company's new superintelligence push are "completely LLM-pilled" This clearly alienated LeCun. "I'm sure there's a lot of people at Meta, including perhaps Alex, who would like me to not tell the world that LLMs basically are a dead end when it comes to superintelligence," he says. "But I'm not gonna change my mind because some dude thinks I'm wrong. I'm not wrong. My integrity as a scientist cannot allow me to do this." Inset quote: "You don't tell a researcher what to do. You certainly don't tell a researcher like me what to do"

This has been a dark year, and seemed to get darker all the time. Just remember that the light comes back. Even if you make it yourself.

My cousin ran off with my grandparents’ menorah and it was nearly impossible to find a new one not made in Israel. I found this badass gothic one on eBay.

Happy birthday to a legend and an icon.
Piers Morgan tweeted a picture of himself meeting Dick Van Dyke from Getty, with the text: “Imagine being called Dick Van Dyke in this PC-crazed era? Poor guy. He'll have to change his name to Richard Van Non-Binary-Gender-Fluid.” Dick Van Dyke replied with an image of himself on Diagnosis: Murder looking unimpressed.

Asked to comment on the NYPD's conduct, Monica Klein, a spokesperson for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, texted a statement to Hell Gate. "The Mayor-elect has made it clear-including to the president-that these raids are cruel and inhumane, and fail to advance genuine public safety," Klein texted. "New York City's more than three million immigrants are central to our city's strength, vitality, and success, and the mayor-elect remains steadfast in his commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every single New Yorker, upholding our sanctuary laws, and deescalation rather than use of unnecessary force.”
