The roast
Yann LeCun manages to post 50 times a month to over a million people while maintaining an engagement rate lower than a forgotten neighborhood Craigslist ad for a rusty lawnmower. It is truly impressive to be the leading expert in artificial intelligence and still struggle to pass the Turing test of being interesting.

I'm literally spaced out! Last year, the International Astronomical Union, gave names to a few dozen "minor planets" (a.k.a. asteroids). In its infinite wisdom, the IAU named one of them "(20082) Yannlecun." It was discovered on March 9 1994 by the late Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst working at GERCA in Caussols, France. At magnitude 15.1, I might be able to spot it with one of my telescopes. https://lnkd.in/eZrBCExc
