I sympathize with #YannLeCun criticizing almost single-handedly #LLM hype at its peak, but his #WorldModel is at best another incremental step.

To his credit , he doesn’t claim much more, as opposed to #samaltman

Notice how silent #Meta or #FAIR has fallen during the OpenAI hype. They do moderation and recommendation on their platforms and know the huge gaps in #LLM.

And no, #multimodality is not going to fix anything.

You just add text learning to other modes. You make it more complicated.
