Eh, as someone who isn't terribly interested in seeing non-stop low effort promotion of garbage AI products, I don't mind that they congregate on a site I rarely visit.
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)
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.
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)
For better or worse, that's where his audience is.
I'm pretty sure the audience would follow him wherever he goes.
And that’s the point, thank you!
Anthropic should capitalize on this opportunity to undercut their competitor’s platform. They don’t come around often.

For folks at this scale,
(vs an HN blog author),
networks are communication and dissemination tools,
not principled stances.
For worse. It’s distinctly for worse.

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