AI Godfather Slams Meta’s ‘Inexperienced’ and ‘Irresponsible’ Alexander Wang as a Reckless Threat

META IS IN FREE FALL. In a SHOCKING exposé, Yann LeCun—the ousted “Godfather of AI”—has PULLED BACK THE CURTAIN on the tech giant’s catastrophic descent into chaos, laying the blame squarely on Mark Zuckerberg’s “inexperienced” 29-year-old AI puppet and a CULTURE OF DECEIT that has sparked a MASS STAFF EXODUS.

LeCun’s explosive accusations reveal a company IN CRISIS. He SLAMMED Zuckerberg for placing the future of the company’s AI in the hands of Scale AI billionaire wunderkind Alexander Wang, a move he brands as RECKLESS and a direct path to failure. “He learns fast, he knows what he doesn’t know,” LeCun conceded to the FT before delivering the KILLER BLOW: “There’s no experience with research… what would be attractive or repulsive to a researcher.” The implication is DEVASTATING: Meta’s AI future is being run by a child.

The rot goes deeper. LeCun alleges Zuckerberg “lost confidence in everyone” after Meta was CAUGHT RED-HANDED RIGGING benchmarks for its Llama 4 model, leading to the CEO “sidelining the entire Gen AI organization.” The result? “A lot of people have left, a lot of people who haven’t yet left will leave.” The brain drain is TOTAL.

But the most DAMNING revelation is saved for last: LeCun declares the foundation of Meta’s entire strategy—Large Language Models—a technological “DEAD END” for superintelligence. This is a BOMBSHELL admission from a founding father, suggesting the BILLIONS spent by Meta, Google, and OpenAI are chasing a FUTILE DREAM while LeCun’s own startup pursues the real path forward.

Zuckerberg bet the company on a lie, installed an unqualified leader, and is now watching his empire’s greatest minds flee. The question is no longer if Meta will lose the AI race, but if it ever understood the game. THE AGE OF AI IS BEING BUILT ON A BED OF FRAUD AND FAILURE, and Meta is its crumbling cornerstone.
