Yeah, when I clean my kitchen I'm not "reducing" the amount of waste.

I'm just decreasing the lifetime of the junk in my kitchen.

The consequence that reducing junk lifetime reduces the amount of junk is just incidental and can be ignored.

I think his view reflects his disappointment as a researcher that it's not novel ideas and algorithms that lead to success. It's scale + engineering.

But anyone with a broader view sees that ChatGPT represents a massive milestone for AI.
Who really cares how novel the algorithms are, openAI built a killer product, and deserve the recognition.

Lecun is maybe also salty because Deepmind / OpenAI are perceived as leaders, and Meta isn't.
