ConvNet Destroys the Planet

Just trained a ConvNet so deep it gets 200% ImageNet accuracy. BUT, the weights are so big, in your clown novices hands they would form a singularity & devour the planet. So I'm gonna keep that shit locked up & just Tweet/blog about it. #torched #convolutionalclowning

A parody tweet from Bored Yann LeCun claims that an impossibly powerful convolutional neural network achieves 200% ImageNet accuracy, but its enormous weights would create a planet-devouring singularity in inexperienced hands. The joke mocks exaggerated AI breakthroughs, boastful technical jargon, and the tendency to hide supposedly world-changing research behind a tweet or blog post.
