alt Hacker NewsPeople aren't gonna be happy I spell this out, but, Karpathy's not The Dude.
He's got a big Twitter following so people assume somethings going on or important, but he just isn't.
Biggest thing he did in his career was feed Elon's Full Self Driving delusion for years and years and years.
Note, then, how long he lasted at OpenAI, and how much time he spends on code golf.
If you're angry to read this, please, take a minute and let me know the last time you saw something from him that didn't involve A) code golf B) coining phrases.

I have no skin in the game here, but this seems a bit "sharp-edged", do you have something against the guy? He just seems deep into his influencer/retired hobbyist arc to me...
Tesla FSD isn't a delusion. There are people using it to successfully do long distance drives across the USA right now, without interventions. Dunno how much credit Karpathy gets for that, but the tech works.
Agree, same as Carmack. They're suit and tie types now.
