For as long as the big companies are committed to focusing on scaling LLMs it does seem reasonable that they don't want their overall efforts led by people like LeCun or Hassabis who don't particularly want to scale LLMs. But it does feel as if there's something a bit extra about many LLM maxis' active hostility to deviationists.

I think Hassabis’ position is far more nuanced than LeCun’s. From what I can see, LeCun believes LLMs are a dead end for AGI while Hassabis position seems to be that some new technique is needed combined with LLMs.
I am not sure if LLMs will stay eventually, but I am totally sure that they will be used to develop new types of models
JEPA's method isn't dead, non-generative self-supervised learning that predicts abstract representations (embeddings) of missing information. It is understanding latent structures rather than creating content.
