My recollection from Zuckerberg was that he was thinking of transformative AI, at least, as a fairly far-away goal, more like 8 to 20 years++ (and I’d assume “transformative AI” would be further), and that overall, he just hasn’t talked much about it.
I wasn’t thinking of all of Yann LeCun’s statements, in part because he makes radical/nonsensible-to-me statements all over the place (which makes me assume he’s not representing the whole department). It’s not clear to me how much most of his views represent Meta, though I realize he is technically in charge of AI there.
That could be.

He isn’t in charge there. He simply offers research directions and probably a link to academia.
Do you have a source for that? His website says:
I recall him saying this on Twitter and linking a person in a leadership position who runs things there. Don’t know how to search that.

He’s recently mentioned it again.
