Andrej Karpathy - @karpathy
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

The honest reality that people actually like X and use it. They don't make it a point to show off their virtues by boycotting it. Nearly everyone important in the space uses it.
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)
That’s a gift to both parties there, yes they sure did (ghosttown Grok servers will get some use, Claude customers able to do things such as… using the service)
Karpathy’s so smart and he has to deal with the reply quality we see on XCancel there… one click away from Hacker News and suddenly every reaction is trash instead of insight and deep insight we see here
(Plus the trash I post, but we’ve got some range, not monotonous spam & model output)
I don't care what their AI is used to generate, as I see that as the user's problem both legally and morally. But I'll be damned if any actions I take make Musk any wealthier, considering what he's doing with what he already has.
Nobody who isn't fully on board with white supremacy (et tu, Andrej?) should be using Twitter at this point.

For better or worse, that's where his audience is.
I'm pretty sure the audience would follow him wherever he goes.

For worse. It’s distinctly for worse.

Anthropic just bought compute off XAI so he's more tightly bound not less.
