I just saw a post from Yann mentioning that AMI Labs is hiring too!

He raises $1B, couldn't OAI, Google or Anthropic try similar approaches? Lack of funding isn't a problem those companies have. Why wouldn't they also spend $1B or 5 times that and outcompete (in theory)?

It’s 4.7B actually, he confirmed it here https://x.com/ylecun/status/2031331124450931058?s=46

I have no faith in anyone doing AI to accomplish anything (especially relative to how much money they spend) except John Carmack. People should be trying to throw money at him
