LeCun is quoted twice in this article and the quotes are logically inconsistent with each other. So he can't be right, unless you just pick one.

And since they're positive claims we can't know either of them are right without evidence, which is not provided.

The statements are logically consistent. You're incorrectly assuming he meant "only" in the first statement.

Those two statements are part of the same thread and LeCun makes it more clear in that thread. And the article says, right after the second statement: "If you read that thread, you’ll see that LeCun seems well aware of everything I’ve laid out in this post"
