[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.
