LeCun was inspired by Chomsky and Piaget's debate about innate or acquired language; later, he did his PhD on artifical neurons. He joined Facebook in 2013.

Summary | Facebook Messenger's boss claims that consumers will use messaging apps more and more, at the expense of emails, phones, and mobile apps. Other people have also been privileging the conversational mode in the service industry: Kik's boss (Ted Livingston) uses "bots", which are robots that simulate human conversations. For instance, if you're hungry, you can order a pizza using Domino's pizza's bot. A similar trend is happening in China with WeChat. What is interesting about WeChat is the fact that it can give out personal information to product and service suppliers.
