更令杨立昆难以接受的是，28岁的Scale AI CEO亚历山大·王被空降执掌Meta新AI项目，而后者缺乏科 研经验，不懂如何激励研究人员。 对于这一人事变化，杨立昆表示，起初他对此不以为意，自己向来习惯与年轻人共事。"亚历山大也没 有对我指手画脚，没人能命令研究人员该做什么，尤其是像我这样的研究人员。" 图灵奖得主、前Meta首席人工智能科学家杨立昆（Yann LeCun）近日首次披露其离开Meta的深层原 因。他在接受媒体联合采访时直言，继续留在公司已陷入难以调和的立场困境。尽管Meta CEO马克·扎 克伯格十分认可他在世界模型领域的研究，但公司为推动超级智能项目新招募的一批人，"满脑子都是 大语言模型"。 显然，这一状况让杨立昆深感格格不入。"我敢肯定，Meta内部有不少人，或许也包括亚历山大，都巴 不得我不要对外宣称：就实现超级智能而言，大语言模型本质上是一条死胡同。"他说，"但我不会因为 某些人认为我错了，就改变自己的观点。我本身并没有错。作为一名科学家，我的职业操守不允许我做 出违心之举。" 据杨立昆透露，去年Meta在人工智能战略上进行了大刀阔斧的调整。扎克伯格向生成式人工智能部门 施压，要 ...
