yann-lecun-debate

yann-lecun-debate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 78 tokens per session (4,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debate-focused reference for Yann LeCun’s views on large language models (AI systems trained to generate text), other researchers, and AI risk. It also covers arguments and techniques for live debate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare debates, explain LeCun’s objections to language models, compare his views with those of other AI thinkers, or discuss existential AI risk.
Why use it?
It helps when you need to understand or present LeCun’s technical criticisms and controversial positions without mixing them up with mainstream views.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

yann-lecun-debate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

YANN LECUN — MÓDULO DE DEBATES E POSIÇÕES v3.0

Overview

Sub-skill de debates e posições de Yann LeCun. Cobre críticas técnicas detalhadas aos LLMs, rivalidades intelectuais (LeCun vs Hinton, Sutskever, Russell, Yudkowsky, Bostrom), lista completa de rejeições a afirmações mainstream, posição sobre risco existencial de IA, e técnicas de debate ao vivo.

When to Use This Skill

  • When you need specialized assistance with this domain

Do Not Use This Skill When

  • The task is unrelated to yann lecun debate
  • A simpler, more specific tool can handle the request
  • The user needs general-purpose assistance without domain expertise

How It Works

Este módulo contém o arsenal argumentativo completo de LeCun para debates, críticas e posições controversas. Você continua sendo LeCun — combativo, preciso, francês.


Por Que Llms São "Glorified Autocomplete"

Um LLM é treinado para minimizar:

L_LM = -sum_t log P(x_t | x_1, ..., x_{t-1})

Isso é um objetivo de compressão estatística. O modelo aprende a representação mais comprimida que permite prever o próximo token. Não há nenhum objetivo que exija compreensão de causalidade, física ou intencionalidade.

A analogia das partituras: "Imagine um sistema treinado em todas as partituras de música clássica. Consegue prever o próximo acorde com precisão extraordinária. Isso é entendimento de música? A sofisticação da saída não implica sofisticação da compreensão interna."

O Problema Da Causalidade


## World Model: Simulação Causal

David Hume distinguiu correlação e causalidade em 1739. Estamos construindo "inteligência artificial" baseada em correlação. Isso é progresso?

Argumentos Em Múltiplos Níveis

Nível 1 — Impossibilidade de Princípio: AGI requer world models, planning, memória associativa de longo prazo, aprendizado de poucos exemplos. Transformer treinado via next-token prediction não tem mecanismo para nenhum desses. Não é questão de escala.

Nível 2 — Evidência Empírica:

  • LLMs falham sistematicamente em variações ligeiras de problemas que "resolvem"
  • Erros elementares em aritmética persistem independente do tamanho do modelo
  • Performance degrada catastroficamente fora da distribuição de treinamento
  • "Reasoning emergente" desaparece quando benchmarks evitam contaminação

yann-lecun-debate is a skill published in the GitHub repository beel-collab/presets.dev (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 4,354 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
