The link points to Fortune's newsletter for some reason. The actual article is here: https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/ai-godfather-yann-lecun-has-z...

Please do keep in mind: Yann LeCun is known for past accomplishments ... not for his humility.

You mean the accomplishments of Kunihiko Fukushima.

Yeah I know. Tbh, we've all seen the video and that is really what Yann Lecun is known for. That was his big contribution. He did not come up with it, he coded it up. Great accomplishment, but ... I get what you mean.

Mmh he is also known for clear thinking and teaching. As for past/present/future worth, I think you're just being ageist, can you show your work maybe, what are you working on to get to that "past accomplishments" burn some day?

Very short article; just a quote really. Reader mode works but here’s archive link to bypass paywall: https://archive.is/eOu09

> He attributes the incidents to poor human oversight and system design, and says they’re “totally preventable.”

Anybody who thinks that poor human oversight and system design are "totally preventable" is not in a good position to say anybody else doesn't understand security.
