I am amazed by people like Bartosz Ciechanowski and Andrey Karpathy. What would be a lifetime side project for other smart and curious people, they seem to release every quarter. How do they do it?

Most people who are smart and creative are nowhere near as productive. And most people who are extremely productive don't get sidetracked by side projects.

Can we donate to creative individuals like the OP so they keep making amazing stuff? This is the kind of output LLMs will not be able to produce any time soon.

"Make a Bartosz-style website about $topic" seems like a fun benchmark idea. Maybe more so than pelicans on bicycles.

To be honest, though, this seems like ideal content for an LLM to produce. It's basically fact regurgitation.
