Fuck, I really hate to agree with Elon on anything, but that is a ridiculous argument. LeCun must also really believe that trees only fall in the woods when someone is around to see it happen.

Science is strictly a social activity. You can’t have a social activity without the social component.

Again, fact-finding is not the same as science.

Science is just the process of testing things in the world in a reproducible way.

LeCun’s argument is good career advice (you only get credit for what others know you did), but it’s not factual correct.
