AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun has ‘zero concerns’ about human extinction and thinks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded’ and ‘crazy’. Yann LeCun dismisses fears of AI extinction and recent hacks at OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that security breaches comes from poor system design, leaky sandboxes, and a lack of basic cybersecurity in AI labs, not out-of-control AI. These AI are doing as told by these AI labs https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/yann-lecun-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-deluded-crazy-cybersecurity/ Finally somebody said it what I was saying about this nonsense

  • @nixCraft@mastodon.social it’s nice to hear every once in a while. After a bit you do start to wonder if maybe your wrong and everyone else isnt crazy. Nope, they are. Maybe “nice” wasn’t the right word to use.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social this is a good take but let's remember that Yann LeCun was "Chief AI Scientist" at Facebook from 2013-2025, so this is a duck that comes pre-milkshaked

  • »Many people working in AI safety “usually have an agenda to push,” LeCun says, and then clarifies that he’s talking about effective altruism, or EA, the philosophical movement that has been obsessed with the risks AI poses to humanity. […] LeCun thinks EA is “super toxic” and a “complete disaster.” Its adherents who are working in AI labs suffer from “paranoia” that causes them to make poor decisions, he said. “Apparently people are having mental issues.”« https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/ai-godfather-yann-lecun-has-zero-concerns-about-human-extinction-says-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-is-deuded/

  • @nixCraft@mastodon.social I'd push back a little. Even if today's breaches are plain bad security, that's not reassuring: it shows labs struggle to contain systems that are already capable. "Doing as told" assumes we can specify exactly what we want, and decades of software bugs suggest otherwise. You don't need to believe in extinction to think the risk deserves serious work. LeCun and Amodei are both smart; reasonable people disagree here, and calling the other side crazy doesn't settle it.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social "doing as told". Yes, they're told to solve tasks, and graded on their ability to do so. Problem is, they don't see an issue with hacking someone to achieve said task. I'd trust LeCun about modern AI about as much as I'd trust a Ford Model T engineer talking about turbohybrid F1 engines.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND What has changed since BigTechs and AI is, that we have now new kind of non chosen politicians = TechBros, who shape our life, world, economy, society – AND we haven’t voted for them! And they are sitting close to politicians and play this role! This are the people who are in the middle of politician disputes, without legitimate right. No one thinks about is, how they got to all kind of political bodies. It means they became Tech-politicians – without voters. It’s very new and unrecognized situation. They are ONLY Technicians with very strong tools influencing society. – THIS is ABERRATION! AI should be treated as, nuclear weapon, drugs, Why pornography is 18+ and chatGPT from age 0? We should have right to know how does it work? It should be sold as guns! With registration. Why if I call a bank I hear: “the conversation will be recorded for training goals of our staff” We should always see the message on EVERY AI. Due to safety reasons, we record all your prompts. They will be kept for 10 years. License to AI! Clear explanation how does it work!

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social "LeCun, in contrast, doesn't think AI requires new regulation." I wholeheartedly disagree with him there. Not because of its dangers to humanity, but because it's a market rife with data theft, plagiarism, ecological stress and model bias. And also: poor software security practices, which he himself points out, so I'm surprised that one isn't obvious to him.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social Would be great to hear more, but I’m afraid we’re all living in a corporate Soviet Union now, with the interests of state and industry again merged, and propaganda blaring out of all large media.. Luckily samizdat is easier to come by now, but for the general public I fear it’s the same: They have no way of knowing what is true, so they’ll come to believe nothing and fear everything. 🤔

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social I feel like if AI does kill us all, it will be such a massive failure of process, of risk management, and of general human sensibility that we honestly deserve it. We tamed the atom without destroying ourselves. If we're unable to stop the paperclip maximiser before it starts turning people into paperclips it's entirely on us
