> just becomes a glorified marketer That implies Karpathy is either dumb or desperate and he is neither of those by a long shot.

oh my, i see what youre saying. at this point youd hope everyone has realized that the best way to keep models more reliable is to force them to stay honest via very very string static typing as a feedback loop. bags of text with hyperlinks certainly fail that measure

Sort of makes me sad, but . . . everyone has a price.

Not about money, but knowledge. The frontier of the field is no longer accessible through arXiv or research papers only.

One thing is that the companies are holding on because of competitive advantage, and I think another is that AI is such a politically polarizing topic that actually being open about everything is risky for the companies, wanting to avoid controversy.

I worked for MS and Apple for 20 years and heard that opinion constantly; i.e., "People only work there for the money."

I have no idea if Andrej "sold out" but perhaps he realizes that if he wants to work on the cutting edge alongside talented people, with a seemingly endless budget, Anthropic is a good choice.

I chose my employers for the same reason; the compensation was secondary.

AI news and ESPN feels interchangeable sometimes.

I’ve never seen names be big in the industry in this way before. It used to be founders, now it’s personalities.

At least in this case we're talking about someone doing something useful and providing tons of value to the field, not about people being praised for starting a company and raising money.

I read this as a bad sign for Anthropic. Relying yet again on more hype instead of improving products. OpenAI’s hiring recently has been much stronger, whether through luck or structure. The “no-name” guys have actual taste. I love that. I don’t care that they’re no-names. I don’t know Karpathy personally, I won’t speak bad about a man I don’t know. I hope he makes CC better. I just read this as hype. My point is tha…

It feels like these companies are constantly going back and forth on who has the best product constantly. It's such a dynamic time with how fast they are both working.

For better or worse, that's where his audience is.

I'm pretty sure the audience would follow him wherever he goes.

For folks at this scale,

(vs an HN blog author),

networks are communication and dissemination tools,

not principled stances.

Curious what you mean by killing it? Products? Model quality?

Dude, both! Codex is going to eat Openclaw… i don’t love saying that. What codex is a few steps away from doing is changing fundamentally a lot of workflows. Remote codex with their computer use is basically you at your computer doing things, 24/7. Then they added gpt images 2.0 what codex can do, in a few more product iterations, is show you visually side by side “would you prefer this (A) or that (B)” in a series o…

Codex and openclaw are both "owned" by openai, and most of the features have been in claude code for awhile now.
