I guess they kinda ignore replies and just follow the Karpathy-ies?
Super offending to my sensibilities seeing the extent of slop in replies, and this is months and months ago now. Unbridled poorly prompted GPT-4o replies.
The main posts from smart/funny people are just as good as they would be written elsewhere, yes, but like at a restaurant, atmosphere’s pretty important too… don’t want to eat a tomahawk steak on an airport runway (whether or not the airport’s associated with My Heart Goes Out To You non-Roman non-salutes)
I don't think the slop problem is that high? Maybe its the people I follow. I just mentally filter out obvious slop anyway. The number of "likes" is a good giveaway for whether it is slop or not.
