LeCun is great and smart, of course. But he had his chance. It didn't go that well. Now Zuck wants somebody else to try.

Messi is the best footballer of our era. It doesn't mean he would play well in any team.



Messi would only play well in Barcelona. Lecunn can produce high quality research anywhere. It's not a great comparison.


It's a great comparison, and we are on the same page.

Zuck wants both great products and research. Lecunn is great at producing high quality research. So, Lecunn isn't quite a good fit at Facebook.


I agree, when you put it in product vs research context, it actually makes sense.


I don't think Messi could do it on a wet night in Stoke. Ronaldo could, though.
