AI Verified The quote is authentic. The exact sentence appears in the cited Decrypt article, attributed to Yann LeCun, in a passage stating that in June he "took to X" and then quoting: “Making technology developers liable for bad uses of products built from their technology will simply stop technology development,” LeCun said. A second source, Cybernews, reproduces the same wording in an embedded post attributed to Yann LeCun (@ylecun) dated June 6, 2024, which corroborates the attribution and verbatim text.
