Who is this guy btw and why does he seen so upset with current trends in ML? I ask since I only know his name due to the recent Twitter feud he had with Lecun.

NYU professor who published a few "pop-sciency" books on AI-related stuff. Like many in his generation, he got some attention for taking a contrarian stance on what current approaches to AI can do, and decided to go extremist with it. I'm not sure he's much more than a full-time angry twitterer now.
