LeCun's 2022 paper on autonomous machine intelligence does not cite prior work

I believe it's reasonable for him to request a citation if significant results of his works are quoted.

LeCun would probably also be upset if he read about his work in the newspaper, but mis-attributed to someone else.

Also, millions in funding money depend on stuff like this. If LeCun can pretend to be the inventor, he gets the grant money. If Schmidhuber gets the citation he seeks, he can use that to apply for new funding. So it's not just prestige, these citation issues have a large monetary impact, too.

[LEC22a] is a position paper. LeCun is expressing his view of how to go forward. It's not a technical paper describing something that works. Ideas he describe have been floating around decades and are considered good ideas, except nobody has made them work, thus the position paper for the future.

Schmidhuber points out everything I said above. JEPA is old idea, etc. He also points out that the paper is "tabloid" article. Schmidhuber does not deserve being quoted for general ideas because he wrote paper of few of them.
