Because we're paying attention? A lot of "smart" people are lost in the AI sauce, grandstanding that they are going to change the very fabric of society. Generally leading experts in other fields are not making the same hyperbolic, self-indulgent, embarrassing statements.

Have you considered that maybe the experts in a field are actually correct about that field?

have you considered that at any second all our existing knowledge could be rendered redundant on the frontier these experts work in?

Europe is not a monolith. Lots of short stints is not unusual in London.

London has not been part of Europe for a decade now. They locked themselves out in a bout of insanity

Europe and the European Union are not the same thing. The UK is definitely European.

> creating magic everywhere they go Like specifically what has he done?

I can spare a minute :). This isn't exhaustive because this is just stuff I know of, obviously. - At Stanford, Led research on the first (to my knowledge) crop of joint image/text models. Super widely cited work. - At Tesla, led their whole self driving effort for a while, came up with critical techniques that allowed them to make progress (e.g., the concept of "auto labelling": using a much larger NN to generate tra…

i wouldn't be surprised if he just becomes a glorified marketer for anthro. im also going to guess that whatever research he does would be free roam research that primarily serves to market the fact that claude was able to help perform the research. the visible stuff he's been working on has been mostly agent soft skills. off the top of my head is autoresearch and his the wiki knowledge stuff. nothing particularly gr…

I think you are underestimating both the value of both projects (autoresearch and personal wiki) just because they are simple. I see both POCs for continuous learning / optmization on the harness layer, which in my opinion is a very interesting direction. I think Andrej has the experience (and now ressources) to productionize this research into something very interesting. p.s. called it > Karpathy will help launch a…

Just because something is not ground breaking that doesn't mean that technology path isn't valuable.

> Its a bit concerning when someone supposedly intelligent still speaks somewhat highly of someone so clearly not. Have you considered the possibility that someone you regard as extremely intelligent is speaking from real-life experience and direct proximity when they say another person is smart? Or perhaps your bias toward Musk make that impossible to even consider.

He’s a great educator and seems like a genuinely nice guy, at least on interviews. I hope he continues with his teaching career on the side, although the crazy amount of NDAs he probably had to sign may make that effort a bit difficult.

Publicly disavowing Musk is going to be a bit difficult when his new employer just leased an entire datacentre from Elon Musk's SpaceX. Anthropic and Elon Musk seem to have quite warm feelings towards one another lately.

Yes, the world absolutely needs more purity tests. Would you like to take the lead? Oh, and shaming. We should definitely be shaming more people because it has proven to be so productive.
